well, (1) is the reason i asked it in the first place.  (2) gave its name to one of the worst Stalinist gulags in the USSR (near the river, hence the name of the gulag).  i was wondering if the good people of sierra (followed by the great agdi team) used that name intentionally (which would make the...

undoubtely - little miracle.

just wandering -- does Kolyma have anything to do with the notorious Gulag by that name?  the spelling's a bit different, but the resemblance seems to great for a mere coinsidence...

try looking for something interesting other than a stone - it might lead you to it (the stone itself is quite visible).

regarding sexton -- she wrote a ppoem called "in celebration of my uterus", so i don't think she would have objected the "confessional" title (and it did put her in line with some great poets like robert lowell and theodor rothke). the quote from beowulf is the first line, the pr...

well done, but don't underestimate Sexton, she's a great poet (in some senses, better than her friend Sylvia Plath). if you're into Chaucer, you might notice which character is described in the GP of the CT (not hard to guess, seeing how this is an adventure game forum, after all). just be happy i d...

actually, it's TaShSAH. the hebrew letter for H stands where E is in Latin alphabeth, i.e as the 5th letter. therefore, you need the H at the end or you'll get "1" insteadof "5" at the end, which would be completely different.

I'd be surprised (or even worried) if you were'nt nervous... I'm wondering if you're "nesting" at the moment. Most of my friends were at the end of pregnancy. In fact, a few days before my wedding, I thoroughly cleaned all my kitchen cabinets and rearranged the spices by families and size....

The year is 5,675. If only we've had Jewish computers 5 years ago, there would be no need for Y2K panic

No, I didn't get the day wrong. in about 30 minutes (after sunset) the new Jewish year will start. So before going to too many family dinners (tonaight at my father in law's, tomorrow at my parent, and yesterday my mother in law came in for some fine whisky), I'd like to wish you a happy year, with ...

graphics, no text. you had a sling and stones to throw at bad guys. it was reallu nice

Don't know about REAL, but my husband seems satisfied... Even if I'm flesh and bone and not Lara Croft.
What else could I be? A duck? Oh, wait, with a name like mine...

You got it Kurdt. Only problem is I happen to be a woman...

I agree, and there's another thing that wasn't taken into account: what caused the twin towers to crash WASN'T the hit itself, but the fire caused by the explosion of the planes that were both fully fueled, having just taken off. This explains not only the fire and smoke shots in the movie, bur also...

Of course . And the Druish princess? If you need a hint, try "oh no, not again," and "nobody knows the trouble I've seen, nobody knows my sorrow"

Back in the 1980s, there was a great game for Mackintosh called Dark Castle. Unfortunately, it only existed for Mac+, and when I moved to Mac IIvx I had to abandon it. Meanwhile I've deteriorated to PC. Does anyone know of a remake or (hint hint) plan making one? I still dream sometimes about those ...

how about these 2 (different movies): 1. "Oh, great, a Druish princess, just what we needed" "Funny, she doesn't look Druish to me" and 2. "She turned me into a newt" "A newt?" "I gor better". from the same movie (if you need help): "Running awa...

And Bin Laden's face appared in the smoke rising from the WTC; and the Jewish employees at WTC and the pentagon didn't show up for work that day; and it was really a cooperation of the FBI, NSA and the Mossad, aimed at giving the Bush administration an excuse to attack the Muslim world; and it's pre...

i understand i'm supposed to hide my valuables to avoid getting killed by manannan. i tried everything in the room he hardly enters, but can't find a place where i can put my stuff (they won't go into anything). any thoughts/hints/spoilers?

many fatal errors (talking to beasts, using stuff on them i shouldn't be using etc) also delete saved games

trying to talk to animals other than the cat (chickens, mouse) creates a fatal error that terminates the game. now i know i haven't eaten any white snake, but it seems a bit harsh...

I got full points without ever dealing with him. There is an extra point in his cave besides the emerald, but it doesn't involve the enchanter himself (i think you can get the point through him, but i did it without him). just look at everything worth looking at in the cave.

it worked fine for me. besides, there's another tool you can use that will do the exact same thing[/spoiler]
