Walsingham

Aha. *whispers* Bill Hicks fan, bearing 225. Load armour-piercing.

I bought OEM on the advice of my learned colleague over there *indicates steaming antipodean* It seems to work fine.

Sorry. My technical know-how expired right after the first sentence.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're Hungarian, but you don't know who Otto Skorzeny was?

Dear Laozi, What? Yours Sincerely, Walsingham

"All gibberish, all the time." "Obsidian forums: fair and balanced gibberish." It's never non-lethal, Meta. Any low energy system can hit a weak person, or get amplified by a third factor and wind up getting somebody killed.

WHERE?! HOW?! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I went looking for it in Amazon, then got distracted by Norah Jones. It was there.

I know I decided I was never EVER going to watch another Robert De Niro comedy. And I used to love that guy's acting so much. :'(

The Chinese have had lasers that can be deployed in the battlefield to blind troops (either temporarily or permanently) for about a decade, too. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Which are supposed to be against the Geneva conventions. Nice to know I can be blinded by supersonic bits of metal wire, but if a laser does it that's OK.

...Which is BOUND to make him feel better. My best guess woudl be that the vibration is shaking something loose in the controller. ...Unless the vibrations are changing the frequency the controller is using. But that seems a tad unlikely. My mouse sometimes has a similar problem, now I think about it, and that's logitech wireless. I roll the batteries like you do for a remote control, and restart the computer.

Glad to see you chaps so keen to boil people.

I'd just like to say that I BOUGHT the damn game again recently on DVD, along with FO1, and FO Tactics. Well worth the cash.

I haven't tried X3. So long as I'm enjoying the simpler version I will stick with that. Besides I have to get through NWN2 before I start buying other stuff! I think the thing I like best about X2 is that it can be played as so many things. I can sit in a space station running my trade empire. I can sit in a carrier (OK it takes a while to save up and buy one), and run a war. I can act liek a taxi driver. I can jump in a fighter and bally well charge into the foe, shouting things like "I'm going to make the skies safe for mumsy and daddy and Buckingham. Hurrah!" I can even start a pirate kingdom and start my own private wars with the mainstream empires. *happy sigh* The Saitek cyborg is, incidentally, just awesome. I didn't realise, but it has all these buttons on it, and you can map them to keyboard and mouse commands, which greatly improves playing something like X2. For example, I have your regular fire weapons, change weapons, tactical map on the joystick. But I also have my trading screens, message board, and universe map on there as well. Allowing me to check the market prices while I execute long banking turns in my destroyer. Speaking of destroyers it is worth mentioning the capital ship combat. There is a fair variety of different ships, and a large variety of weapon loadouts suitable for different prey. But fighting with a capital ship requires real finesse. You can't expect to take on serious opponents with simply a winning smile. You need to learn all the overlapping patterns of fire on your vessel and maximise these in conjunction with the rights instructions to each bloody turret, and I'm tod you can hire gun crews as well. Serious brainache combined with righteous fury. My biggest problem is that I'm not used to flying such a big ship as my new destroyer and keep ramming things accidentally.

Good one. The last part sounds a little Buddhist. Sometimes carrying emotional baggage hurts you more than it should just because you allow it to. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> *thinks* That would have been an awesome line to use on the guy who stabbed me.

I hated camping as a kid. Taught me to respect all the hard work my forefathers had put in creating civilisation, goddamit.

Correction. The most ominous sound in the world is that of an eight year old boy gleefully saying 'Bang! Bang!' Behind you, followed by a soft click. Eugh. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That WILL make you sick to your stomach! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Third closest time I ever came to dying. Because he was six feet away and might have missed.

Dude immortal technique is so awesome lol. He's like some kind of central american heritage mixed with black and all he does is songs like that pretty much. I'm a sucker for good rhymes even if they are about things I don't really relate to at all. Edit: And for a "gansta rapper" he's actually pretty smart. I'd imagine he's pretty well read for some of the things he writes about. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have nothing against smart black rappers. I was probably one of Ice-T's first British fans *stamps zimmer frame on the floor*. Which is precisely why some silk and perfume dandified cretin wannabe Che Guevara gets me laughing at them.

Well, i stil say that it sets a weird (not dangerous) precedent. I tihnk the focus should be on getting the rest of us norms' to treat the disadvantaged better. However, Di has convinced me that as usual we need two horses in the running. The poor girl will be most confused and unnecessarily troubled by hormonal changes she is utterly unable to take advantage of. Not to mention made more vulnerable. I repeat that we should not be in a position where someone like this should be in danger from anyone, but they are.

Hungarian comedy = the time Otto Skorzeny stole the Hungarian premiere's son, rolled up in a carpet.

The nerdy but good Englishman (new) The cavalier but evil Englishman (old) Englishmen are allowed morals or style, but never the twain shall meet.

Through wall surveillance is nonsense. Less-than-lethal microwaves are already in use. Same for using sound. It's what you pinkos demanded, after all.

A normal three month old is not a freakish ornament, wouldn't you agree?
