mac vs. windows
http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=48568 Says it all for me. BUt I'm not happy with the recent Apple world domination plans either. Can you say 'i-phone'? I knew you could.

Patronising companies
Well, I guess I missed a meeting somewhere. It turns out I'm actually only nine years old! That's ra-hight, ladies and gents. It's Windows update time again. Now, before my spine snaps with fury can someone PLEASE explain why, when I update windows I am suddenly obliged to shut down my computer. Actually, hold on. 'Obliged' has a certain courteous ring to it. Let's try 'forced', 'coerced' hustled into' or 'hijacked'. No other company feels it has the right to ignore instructions from me on my own bloody PC. But Microsoft thinks it's reasonable to repeatedly interrupt what I'm doing as if I had nothing better to do than quit, and start up my machine whenever the fancy takes them! This strikes me as a symptom of a company totally out of touch with its customers. I was wondering if anyone shared my annoyance, and if any other firms had struck you in like vein.

NwN 2 1.11 Patch available.
Am i the only person who would quite like the next patch to remove some of the huge flashing lights effects which render most magical battles into a passable rendition of what would happen if to tossed a rabid epileptic into a glitter warehouse?

What you did today
I remember that. I wasn't allowed to watch it when it first came out (too young ), but I saw it years later. Very troubling and very well-written. My only consolation was that now I'm in the TA I have a CBRN suit in the dresser. Although given the aftermath perhaps it would be more comfy to just top oneself. Actually, on reflection my other comfort is the large reserve of pie fat I have about my middle.

Police link Colorado gun attacks
This chap killed all these people in order to get famous and (presumably) be a figure of fear. Mockery of him seems more than in order. I've already deliberately forgotten his name.

What you did today
Good luck with the exam. Although anyone who figures teh odds like yu have probably doesn't need luck in an accounting exam. I stayed up until 03:00 this morning watching an old BBC docudrama called Threads. It was made in 1984 and shows what would happen before, during, and after a nuclear exchange. It was absolutely horrifying. Very powerful writing overcame the pretty poor video quality.

My Dirty Little Secret
I assume you like the KotOR series then? Eh, even those two I've only played through once each. Ok, then the curious part of me must ask, why a forum for a video company that makes RPGs? 'Cause he likes a forum with some junk in the trunk.

I suddenly remembered the song 'Closing Time' by Semisonic. I now feel compelled to wander the darkened chilly streets and find a pub.

Being a cyber-cretin I can't explain the technical reason. It's just that massive long threads annoy the servers or something. It's either close and renew them, or we have to buy the servers ice-cream.

What you did today
The ongoing saga of awesomenes what is the lives of the members. I'm currently languishing in a large bean bag, after having been hopped up on a half gallon of inoculations this morning. My left arm is beginning to stop moving. It's kind of cool.

I understand that you might be using the suppress feat out of goodness, but I only did it because (as expressed in dialogue options) I refused to be governed by some alien hunger.

Congratulations Pidesco and Tigranes!
Provided they don't learn anything from me. I more sort of protract with a wooden butt.
