Don't be such a cheap-skate, Eldar! Clearly the missus wants something romantic, so cough up the dong for the sake of your schlong. Well let's not rule anything out.

DVRed it and watched it today. Great movie. DVRed it and watching it now. I foresee this will be a great movie.

Bokishi (Fou) and yours truly playing the role of tech support for F.E.A.R multiplayer n00bs:

You sure its tap water and not "tap water"?

Firefox, and never look back. Teh hot chick0rz and the official firefox mascot Alexandra Ansgar will love you foreverafter:

Well, a lot of these retail computers already have a recovery partition on the hard drive itself. For example, when booting up a Compaq they'll be and F1 option to set up the system (i.e. enter the BIOS) and and F10 option to bring up the menu for the various system recovery procedures. Try restarting the comp and look out for an F-function key prompt like that (or just start pressing random F buttons and see what happens). The former is perhaps the safest route, but I firmly endorse the latter in the name of comedy!

^^Yeah, what he said!

Tale, have you downloaded the MP extension to Fear yet?

You should know better Volo -- Speed is teh ultimate Speed-like movie.

That's because I wasn't talking about the comic but rather the movie... Astrocreep zinging one over Mets? That's impossible!

WoW is evil. Repent sinner!

And if Tale was a betting man he'd be ever so slightly richer.

This game was meant to be played like Chuck Norris. The roundhouse kick is awesome!

The baddies to tend to conveniently "upgrade" when you do, but its mostly noticeable during the early points of the game when the Darkstar is still kind of weak. Towards the end you can pretty much plow through anything thanks to the tricked out plasma shield.

*raises hand* Demo was absolute garbage though not nearly as bad as the Space Force 2 demo. The idiotic credit cap (as something like 10755 cr) didn't really do the DS1 demo any wonders either, since you couldn't exactly buy a new engine to get the hell out of there. Tell me what exactly pissed you off about the demo and I'll let you know if it's still there in the retail version or not.

Have you ever seen footage of bonobo apes? "Some gay set us up the bomb!"

After being betrayed by seemingly innocuous friends of the vampiric circle, I was encased in my own coffin and dumped in the middle of the ocean causing me to fall into a deep state of torpor. But thanks to the aid of the ever intrepid Polly, we managed to lure a Japanese tourist shop to our rescue, of whom naturally we left for dead with with booty to boot (hence my recent "acquisition" of a PS3). So, Jags, is the ranking: Freelancer, Space Rangers and then Darkstar One? I would say that ranking is just about right among the Arcadian Space Sims (as in you're flying along and you can "break" as if you had tires gripping the road as hard as Paris Hilton is holding out for the opportunity for house arrest; also, space navigation is actually feasible through the cunning use of way-points; further, ships move nice and easily and as frequently has Hades sadly attempts to flirt with Darque; lastly, trading is simply yet additively implemented and basically consists of buying low and selling high). However, out of the games from recent times, the rankings would probably be X3, X2, and Eve-Online out of the Newtonian Space Sims (as in you're flying really fast and cut power to the engines but continue to spiral along like an unwanted Jorian on a spamming spree; also, space navigation consists of aimlessly wandering through space with the glimmer of hope of encountering something to shoot at, however, upon the realization that there really will never ever be anything to shoot at, you start shooting at random pieces of rock (AKA "mining") and pretend that something special will rather fortuitously pop out; further, ships move about as fast as a knocked-up Rosie O'Donnell and react much slower when subjected to hostile fire; and lastly, even an economics degree from Harvard School of Business WILL NOT guarantee you fiscal success, as you watch your credits slowly dwindle before your very eyes into the depths of space where only Chuck Norris can hear you scream). So ... is X3 better than Freelancer? Newtonian Space Sims are strictly inferior to their Arcadian counterparts and thus Freelancer is better than X3 by default. Morgoth and Kefka are right: X3 lacks soul and is something you want to quit in about 10 mins (which, incidentally, is what Bok & I did yesterday with EVE-online). Freelancer will go down in gaming hall of fame as one of the best shooting space ass games of all time.

Bok and I are trying out EVE-online aka "Holy Shooting Comet Batman, I never knew space sims could be so Petarded!"

Sounds good to me.

This thing still going? Right on!

I remember a flash game-advert thingy from days gone past called Shock The Monkey. It required you to shock the monkey as well! Ah, good times...

Clearly, THIS is the galaxy you're looking for!
