List Of Baldur's Gate Characters
''Baldur's Gate'' is a series of role-playing video games set in the Forgotten Realms ''Dungeons & Dragons'' campaign setting. The game has spawned two series, known as the ''Bhaalspawn Saga'' and the ''Dark Alliance'', both taking place mostly within the Western Heartlands, but the Bhaalspawn Saga extends to Amn and Tethyr. The ''Dark Alliance'' series was released for consoles and was critically and commercially successful. The ''Bhaalspawn Saga'' was critically acclaimed for using pausable realtime gameplay, which is credited with revitalizing the computer role-playing game (CRPG) genre. The ''Bhaalspawn Saga'' was originally developed by BioWare for personal computers. In 2012, Atari revealed that Beamdog and Overhaul Games would remake the games in HD. The ''Dark Alliance'' series was originally set to be developed by Snowblind Studios, but ports were handled by Black Isle Studios, High Voltage Software, and Magic Pockets, with the second game developed by Black Isle.

Jan Jansohn
Agathodaimon are a gothic/symphonic black metal band from Mainz, Germany. History The band began in September 1995, when guitarist Sathonys and drummer Matthias got together to assemble a dominant death metal band with harmonic arrangements ( melodic death metal). They put adverts in several music magazines in the hopes that they would find suitable musicians to play with them. In answer to the advertisement, they were joined by bassist Marko Thomas and keyboardist and vocalist Vlad Dracul. The last member of their initial formation was the second guitarist, Hyperion, who joined them by the end of that year. With this formation the band recorded the ''Carpe Noctem'' demo tape, which received fair reviews from the German specialized press. It also attracted the attention of one of '' Century Media's'' executives, who began keeping track of the band. ''Agathodaimon'' then proceeded to play minor gigs and support some European bands. Eventually, they received an offer from ''Cen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Yon Yonson
"Yon Yonson" is an infinitely recursive poem, nursery rhyme or song, perhaps best known from the novel '' Slaughterhouse-Five'' by Kurt Vonnegut, although Vonnegut did not create it. Origins of the song The song is often sung in a Scandinavian accent (e.g. ''j'' pronounced as ''y'', ''w'' pronounced as ''v''). This accent is revealed by the name "Yon Yonson", which when recited in American English is usually rendered "Jan Jansen" or "John Johnson". The Swedish pronunciation "Yon Yonson" probably dates the origin of the song to soon after the Swedes' arrival in the United States. A possible origin of the song is the dialect stage comedy ''Yon Yonson'' by Gus Heege and W. D. Coxey (1890). The play's setting included a Minnesota lumber camp. However, no evidence shows that the song was actually performed as part of the play. The song being set in Wisconsin is a satiric reference to Wisconsin's Scandinavian-American culture and heritage. Lyrics Numerous versions of the song ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
