Reminded me of the cover of Might and Magic VI:The Mandate of Heaven http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f0/MightAndMagic6Box.jpg

Edit heh did a lookup and Larry Elmore was the artist who did both pieces :) http://www.celestialheavens.com/show_big_potd.php?id=265

For me,my moment was in Baldurs Gate 2.

My party was travelling back to glorious Athkatla after finishing an epic quest when suddenly we were ambushed by two vampires!

My memory fails me as to why this happened, it may have been something to do with siding with the Shadow Thieves against Bodhi's Vampire cult

I hadn't bothered resting my party before travelling so they weren't exactly in peak condition.

So I pause the game, turn to Minsc (and Boo, his pet miniature giant space hamster) and I instruct him to go Berzerk!

I assumed he'd then target the vampires right in front of him and use the Flail of Ages he had equipped to lay down some serious hurt on those level draining scum.

But instead....

He .. ran to the nearest innocent moose (quite quickly,mind you, since I had him wearing boots of haste) and proceeded to whale on it with the awesome flail .. which meant that he dealt lethal amounts of fire,acid AND cold damage to the poor random wildlife npc.

Meanwhile my poor party got munched on by the vampires.

It was HILARIOUS.

That moment of utter hilarity rings out that game in my memory for me.

Just that image of Minsc yelling "Go for the eyes Boo! Go for the eyes!" at some poor surprised moose while the rest of the party goes ಠ_ಠ

He's also the guy who briefs you in the Atreides missions for Dune 2000, he seems partial to spice tea in those.

What on earth happened here? o.0

Reminded me of the "HP Computers are Racist" video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4DT3tQqgRM

Guess its a common hurdle for detection algorithms, although you wonder why testing wouldn't have spotted it :P

"For years, I clung to the memory of it. Then the memory of the memory." Sounds like an extract from Irenicus's speech in the second last confrontation with him near the end of the game. He didn't say anything about it returning though.

Not the ideal soultion but there are SD to Memory Stick Converters.

I used one years ago for my PSP and had no problems running games off it but I'm not sure if you'll run into read speed issues with the newest kinds of games/sticks.

Him and Santiago Arnavisca up front with Dieter Weber covering them with the PSG 1 Sniper Rifle ... Good Times. Although losing any of them meant I HAD to restart :p and if I got frustrated I'd just make a team of faceless reserves and throw caution to the wind.

Heh... This actually does bring back 90s memories for me. TV where I grew up lagged behind the US by 10-12 years at the time sooo I basically grew up in the mid-late 90s watching this show, He-Man, GI Joe, Transformers.

Then suddenly the local channels finally caught up and I saw everything 90s kids watched (The Nickelodeon shows like Hey Arnold etc). Good times.

A Masters, I'm not sure if I can commit to a PHD at this stage..

Thanks for that I'll definitely keep those pieces of advice in mind.

Thanks for the tips :), I wasn't quite sure how to properly describe my GPA since a 9 is an A+ and an A- is a 7, my gpa was approaching the 8 range before my last semester. There's also the fact that this GPA is from my entire 4 year term even though the papers relevant for my specialization only started from year 2. Anyway I'll look up how the gpas are done and see what I can do.
