Being Hilmar, he might actually take you up on that. The mental scars would never heal.

Excuses are the refuge of the weak.

Depending on where you are staying there are limited places in Reykjavik in which you can purchase canned beers to take out, so to speak. Vinbudin is the state regulated off sales and you can find a list of outlets here. It is also important to note that they tend to close at 18:00 on Saturday so get to it as quick as you can Smile


Aha!
Now i understand how you were able to get all these non-eve playing hot looking girls to the Fanfest party back in march Big smile

During fanfest CCP is selling countless cans of Polar Beer and Gull all night long while other stores are long closed.

Oh, and if you're into beers, make sure you try this one out. It's the best.

To be honest, if you're really looking to make waves... walk into the lobby, snag a copy of Fearless, and upload it as a PDF to the internet.

Right?

Sacrafice a goat outside the front reception and pray to the Gods for intervention to get Eve back on track.

Yeah you definitely have to show up at their place wearing a monocle


There must be a store around here selling a monocle.
But that'll have to wait till tomorrow got other things to do today (for some reason i thought swimming at the blue lagoon would be awesome n its frigging 7 degrees Celsius here :X


More beer, that's the ticket. One thing those icelandic folks know about is drinking Blink


Yeah gotta find a decent place here to get beer, there's a small store nearby but the best they had was Tuborg which is crap.

It's within walking distance, but you'll be moving away from the fun spots of Reykjavik. Seriously though, going to the liquor store will do you no good if you're here for the nightlife. The bouncers won't let you in with your own booze, but their bartenders would be happy to charge you a ton more than the liquor store does for some of theirs.

By the way, Já.is is our equivalent to a phone book and Google maps.

Extremely. It's not exactly cheap at the liquor store either.

Anyways, if you're in central Reykjavík and have some free time on your hands, take a look at the Kolaport tomorrow. It's just a flea market filled with foreigners, but the stuff you can see and taste there is pretty awesome.

Went there yesterday thnx for the tip, and well I don't have to go find out where the CCP office is anymore, we went to the maritim museum and well its attached to that. Allready bought a few items to hand over for the NEX store, pink star shaped sunglasses, a t-shirt stating some icelandic word which is hard to pronounce (and making fun of that) a necklase from lava. Couldn't really see a front desk so I'll probably have to put it into an enveloppe and adress it to someone in the building.

3. lock them in that room so they have to sit there and stare at the ******* door!


But then they won't be able to work on developing the game... oh wait...

A question for the CCP staff,
Do you guys always have pizza's when having a meeting?

And do you always let the door towards the museum open, could see some interesting slides and stuff

1. Go to a 2nd hand store and buy 200 pair of cheap pants for like $ 3 a pair.

2. Go to C.C.P office with a sign that says " Trendy Japanese pants 1200 dollars"

3. Profit.
