Chimay Blue, or assorted other belgian stuff
You, sir, have my respect.
I personally prefer Duvel (or Tongerlo, straight from the tap!) myself, but Chimay is pretty good.
Also, I don't know if it's been asked before, but is there any Paradox title you're least satisfied with, anything that you wish you could thoroughly overhaul or maybe wished you designed/implemented differently?
Is there anything you published you wished you hadn't, afterward?
Everyone reads them! I swear I thought it was a rite of initiation or something. It just turned out the books kicked ass.
I'm halfway through the fourth and final book (yes final, we all know he'll never finish the fifth!)

Good question.
So, two questions from me which are very close:
1. Will we get our avatars back or is there a way to get them back?
2. How does one sign up with Paradox for working on the historical research department
?
Briefly describe the single most satisfying game of any PI games you have ever played.
Most if not all of us! I've read it twice, and then the best parts a third time (Brienne just kills me - such tragedy and power; awesome).
We went bollywood (as in unmotivated singing and dancing) when HBO announced they are working on this:

hehe great to know, now onto getting the rights away from Cyanide Studios and save us all
I think it'd be a great take for a grand strategy game.
@Mattias hehe yes the serie annoucement had got me all hyped up as well. Can't wait.
Let's suppose Martin will go crazy and allow transition of his books to PC game by you(
) . Would like to move away from history genre towards fantasy to create it? And which one of your games you think would be the best to use as base for such game?

Let's manhandle mr Martins agents into giving us the license, then we can talk game mechanics!

He gave it to Cyanide and they're going to make 2 games out of it, 1 rts >_< and 1 rpg ...seeing former Cyanide releases I'd prefer Pdox to make one great game out of this. sorry for outtopic, I'll find a question ehehe quick
edit: question:
How do you think the fans/forum would react if you make a non historical game

no not yet, I got a bit of a backlog of books atm before I get there. The last book in Stephenson's Baroque Cycle series, Alistair Reynolds new one (his sci-fi stuff is really great, except the first one Revelation Space, which sadly you have to read to get into the rest), and some russian fantasy book I cant remember the name of right now.
I tend to chew through books pretty fast since I spend about 1:30h a day on trains.

Anything by Terry Pratchett, Tanith Lee or Robert A. Heinlein.

I could write a long angry text about what I think about the OpenGL review board and how they have handled stuff lately but it would prob bore most people here. I dont have very high hopes for the future of OGL sadly, I prefer it as an API despite some of the more horrible stuff.
- supporting GL is a lot harder. there are A TON more bugs to deal with and driver quality is atrocious for anything outside the newest nvidia and ati (they have gotten a lot better!)
- hardly any helpful tools and libraries (you got a lot of nice stuff with the DX world)
- Linux players who actually feel like paying for games tend to just use wine/cedega (or what its called these days) which has always run fine for me.
- Mac ports (being a mac user myself) would of course be easier if we did everything with GL, but we have another company who handles most of that stuff for us and it seems to work fine.
