You smoke a pipe? Me too! What kind you got? I have a briar...smoking some nice cherry infused tobacco at the moment

Ah awesome!! I have a really nice Peterson briar, sort of half bent military mount except it has one of those P-Lip mouthpieces so it is a little hard to hold in the mouth but smokes very well. Then I have a couple cheap Dr Grabow briars I got from America, only about 20 euro each and a corncob. My favourite tobacco at the moment is probably this chocolate/coffee flavoured blend I ordered in from the states off this website called 4noggins. Check it out makes the selection we have here look like crap.

I started around last August when I turned 18 so nearly a year now. I just think they are really cool regardless of the some of the odd looks :P lot of the writers I admire smoked pipes so trying to channel some power lol. Yeah tobacco is taxed insanely here, it is a fair bit cheaper of the site I am using but they are changing regulations in the US so will be going up in price by next year. Probably still cheaper than here though. Bloody hell 1.50? Was it good, can't imagine pipe tobacco that cheap being very high quality :eek:

Yeah they're nice if you need to go out and ponder the mysteries of the universe, I haven't smoked mine in a while - might fire that baby up on Thursday when I'm finished! And yeah 1.50 - haha you're right not the best tobacco but you're not gonna argue at those prices!

Lol yeah as long as it tastes good. And we don't inhale a pipe so don't need to worry about the extra carcinogens cigarette smokers would get from bad quality tobacco.

AndyMc

The tea is brought in and since im right next to the door the supervisor brings it across my desk.

I have shat myself every single exam when the tea comes.

Too true, great conversation piece on a night out too, and it smells great and repels insects if you're outside - just the all purpose smoking apparatus:P

Yeah can't wait, although I'm a bit disappointed you can only play in 3rd person, see I'm primarily a console player and only use computer for RTS games so I'd prefer if they could make it just like Oblivion or Skyrim but online :P

Unconfirmed as of yet I think

But you should be able to play on all relatively new computers and even some older ones(past 5 years). Obviously on a lower graphic setting for older ones.

What are your specs?

AndyMc

Its pretty rough. I have a GTX 460 and an AMD dual core processor at I think 2.3GHz

You should be okay. When is that from 2011/2012?

They really want the game to appeal to as many players as possible so the minimum specs required should be fairly modest, while still having better graphics for more powerful PCs.

AndyMc

Some day i'll duplicate TotalBiscuts rig. And I'll play all the games without fear.

The computer is from about 07/08 but I slapped a card in it last year so I could actually play something.
