Sheogorath (in Daedric script, ) is the Daedric Prince of Madness, whose motives are said to be unknowable. His realm in Oblivion is known as the Madhouse, though it has also been called the Asylums by the Imperial Census of Daedra Lords, and called the Shivering Isles by most. It is split into two parts. Mania, the fantastic, colorful side, and Dementia, the horrific, swampy side.
There are interesting quotes like
Quote:
"Why not? Something has to work. Once, I dug a pit and filled it with clouds. Or was it clowns? Doesn't matter. It didn't slow him down. To be honest, it wasn't the best idea. And it really began to smell. Must have been clowns. Clouds don't smell bad. They taste of butter! And tears."
Also the whizz has certain artifacts
Quote:
Wabbajack is a mysterious staff that changes any enemy into another random creature. This can completely change a battle by transforming an enemy into something weaker, or possibly something much stronger. As with most all of Sheogorath's work, it should be used with caution. The staff also has the small chance of instantly killing the enemy and turning them into ghostly remains.

Sheogorath and the Wabbajack both have appearances in Skyrim, too. Of course, if you played Shivering Isles and did all the quests including the main one, that means you have a cameo in Skyrim!

But what if I don't play games as a dude? Sheogorath in Skyrim is freaking weird, I think he was more fun in SI.

Surely, cronies will be back with a berserk once "answers have been given" (in their eyes = CUSA Truth have been told)

Hi,

@Transition,

&
Amiga.org people

&
of course, Barry.

First let me say that I am happy that someone is off in the right direction in trying to start or bring out a new Amiga & C64.

BUT

To bring out a machine that almost every Amiga owner has in a small degree, like me, I have a Quad Core 6600, and an AMD six core 1090T, that are running one of my favorite programs Cloanto's Amiga Forever. Now why in the hello Amiga world should I buy your product Barry, you are asking me to downgrade to a lesser computer just to run something like a winuae emulator with nothing less then a cheap in expensive micro ATX board which probably couldn't run most of todays modern day Windows games. Give me one good reason why I should pay twice the price of my semi modern computer gaming machines to buy your crap. To get a C64 case or a A4000, A3000, A2000, or A1000 look alike case, sorry but I have all of them, and I can put in a modern day board that would make your computer look like a Chevy, you know like a rock, something that is dead and (no life) and found alongside the road not moving.

Sorry I alread have a machine that moves 6 times faster than what you are bringing out at about one eight of the price.

AND IT PLAYS WINDOWS GAMES, AND RUNS UBUNTU LINUX. What a deal.

I look at products, and determine "What real use or new joy will it bring to me"?

As much as I hate Macs, I would rather buy a G4 Mac and run MorphOS.

Thanks for the try though Barry

smerf, yes but your 6 core machine that costs 1/3 of the cusa pc's dosn't have an amiga sticker! come on man, your paying for the sticker. Those are nice stickers. Now that they have moved from stickers to engraving, the price has to double, don't you know anything about computers?

Apparently, you have a grip on reality. In order to understand CUSA and their computers, you have to lose that grip and live in a fantasy land.

Maybe you just need to take the same drugs that the cusa cool aid drinking "employees" and followers are taking.

Stop spreading true statements. CUSA does not like that.

Personally, I can't wait to hear the answers to those questions. Cop outs, excuses, lies, half truths, grandiose drug or stupidity induced fantasies and embellishments here we come.

Their own forum probably has 1/10 the amount of traffic than Amiga.org , and it's horribly slow.

We should ask Barry to post his response there and watch it crash.

Are you suggesting their servers "can't handle the traffic!?" ;D
