Kickass ancient klik-klak keyboard.

A close personal friend and collaborator of John Romero's is working on a NWN2 mod loosely based on work for an Interplay-aborted version of Baldur's Gate 3.

Haha, I feel like your computer is straight from the twilight zone. All those huge monitors, laptops, etc and then this clunky, old school, piss colored keyboard in the middle of it all....

Do, do, do, do..do, do, do, do...DOO

"You're traveling through another dimension -- a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's a signpost up ahead: your next stop: the Twilight Zone!"

Yeah, I know what "The Black Hound" stands for, but is this the new rumored Baldur's Gate 3 that Atari confirmed some time ago?
Because it looks a lot like NWN 2

 

[Kingston]

I thought it had died by now. Praise the Lord!

J.E.Sawyer is working on a NWN2 mod based on Black Hound.

 

[Annie Mitsoda]

Yep, that's Mr. Sawyer's workspace right theah. Ah-yup.

And I share his love of old-school tlak keyboards - it doesn't feel like you really TYPED anything unless you really feel the keypress. These new-fangled yadda yadda keys feels like pushing a cotton ball yadda blah GET THE HELL OFF MY LAWN

I'm glad Josh is still workin' away - he's got some rad stuff goin' on.

 

[CreamyBlood]

And a keyboard isn't worth anything if it isn't heavy enough to bash somebody's head in with it.

 

[Shannow]

..or a monitor. Of course the monitor has to be heavy enough not just to tip over...

 

[LeStryfe79]

That stuff looks bad ass. JS is a fucking bastard, and I'm sure he'll make an epic mod.
Hopefully, he secures some hefty VO charity from his friends. Too bad Annie isn't their anymore, since her acting was actually pretty decent in SoZ...

Who did she voice?

 

[LeStryfe79]

I think she did that Tiefling merchant in Samarach and Chir the evil Gnome wizard. Nothing dramatic to be sure, but her characterizations were good anyway. She showed a decent range with her roles, and if I'm not mistaken, she has a bit of theatre XP.

 

[Deleted member 7219]

Weird keyboard. And the NWN2 and MotB boxes are too thick. The SoZ box is the right size, though.

 

[Wyrmlord]

When I got MotB from the US, it had a thick box. My locally purchased NWN2 was in a paper leaflet. EA games here usually come in that SoZ style box, though.

I'm looking for one, too. They were of superior quality and design to all new keyboards I know of - was it because the buckling spring design was more expensive to produce than dome switch design, and that doesn't fit the "do horrid shit in China" free market bullshit we get today. Well, it's really the people's own fault for buying "bastardised in asia" western technology. Even I have a cheap Microsoft keyboard, with weak, non-removable keys, stupid shit features nobody needs and horrid curved design, something I suspect is what they call "innovative" in asia. Bastardised is what I call it.

Perhaps I should finally invest in a good keyboard, like the model M.

..or a monitor. Of course the monitor has to be heavy enough not just to tip over...

Yeah, those 30+ kg incredibly long monitors kicked ass.

Actually, a widescreen flatpanel monitor was the best upgrade I have ever got on my PC. It was like, "Wow, I didn't know that menu screen is, in fact, blue, not green.". And all the space I got more! I can sleep on my desk easily now, and threre's enough room for a pizza.

A good chair was close, though. No more neck pain!

Huh, those aren't even that expensive. Thanks, I shall.

You mean the one that always said something like "fly back soon, pretty bird" in the end of the conversation?

That was some good piece of voice acting, methinks

 

[J.E. Sawyer]

The keyboard is an IBM Model M with WordPerfect color coding. As glasnost posted, the Unicomp keyboards are essentially the same thing. If you want the next gen of that keyboard style, I recommend the Das Keyboard Ultimate.

Pros only.

Weird keyboard. And the NWN2 and MotB boxes are too thick. The SoZ box is the right size, though.

The NWN2/MotB boxes are US retail copies. The SoZ box is European.
