Walsingham

At the Remembrance Day stuff today some people booed him and called him a crackhead, was brilliant. Naturally some people are upset as it was not the time or place - which is a bit silly. If you dislike someone, do so 24/7, don't take breaks. I disagree. I would point out that if a crack smoking drunkard can show some dignity on Remembrance Sunday then everyone should be able to.

Strong message, well worded.

I see you, baby. Shaking that ass.

I can't post an event log, because I don't know how to dig it out of my system. I have pretty high end antivirus that was set up for me, not by me. But it was full ****ing red alert. Everything from the www.7image.ru/pics/0813/... site, pretty much. If your system didn't pick up on it I'd recommend a full scrub with lysterine.

No worries, mate. For those who can't read my hysterical 'shouting', THERE ARE VIRUS LADEN IMAGES IN THE ATTRACTIVE WOMAN THREAD Do not access that thread. I've notified the mods. Hopefully it can be taken down asap. No ****ing prizes for guessing who posted them.

Audis. My road safety attitude actually factors in whether a car is an Audi in deciding how they will behave.

Weird. Someone with a 'legend' fixation? Or IRGC undercover?

I hate Elminster with a passion. The only thing worse than a drow ranger is an all powerful wizard who won't intervene in worldly events other than to keep said drow ranger alive and in sparkly armour. I think it's time I played through BG again.

I'm just a tiny bit late to this party. I'd echo other posters: - Isometric delivers vastly superior tactical control in groups, compared with FPS - I don't see how being able to walk around someone in FPS increases my social engagement with them, when facial expressions are as ropey as they are using current technology I'd go further and and _suggest_ that generating a fully 3D world imposes a heavy burden on designers (artistic and tactical), and draws resources away from story and dialogue. I am absolutely unequivocal on where I want the main effort: story and dialogue. Hope that helps the OP understand.

Two responses to Osvir: 1) I shan't be looking for early access. I want the team to have a chance to get the baby out before I start holding its hand. 2) Where I work we recently had the problem where demand for a certain item/service was causing conniptions in the business. So we raised the price in an attempt to cool demand. This in fact meant we sold twice as many, because people assumed it was worth more. Bloody meatbags.

I was wondering what people thought and felt about the disaster in the Phillipines. My feelings are: - pride that my country is assisting survivors - awe at the strength of nature - mounting feeling of frustration I'm frustrated because it seems to me that a nation which experiences as many tropical storms as the Phillipines doesn't seem engaged with the notion of long term planning for the same. It seems perfectly logical to me that if our ancestors, 2000 years ago were capable of building gigantic stone walls to protect against invaders, that persons living in fear of high winds and storm surges should at least attempt something similar.

I was laughing until I saw the swastika Union Jack. What in the name of barbed wire funwhistles IS THAT?

Exercise has the advantage of applying a direct biological change to your brain chemistry. A hobby has the advantage of being easier to start and maintain when you're depressed. When I'm feeling depressed I find the prospect of going to exercise tantamount to flying by force of will alone.

It's like arguing with tinkerbell.

Hrm. maybe we should have a work related/research related thread?

The downhill slide isn't what should worry you. It's how high you were before you started sliding...

"Model 204 User Language" sounds like some kind of terrifying apartheid era genetic modification program. If you see any cute monkeys DO NOT approach them.

Query: Would it be both possible and easy to auto-compile a computer rigged to run last year's top games, and then price compare for those specs? My own PCs typically run games two years behind the curve, and everything's dandy.

BUMP How's the search going?

I've decided that from now on I'm going to play ALL the videos in here (on the one page) at once. Like some hellish mashup. Grieg and Public Enemy is strangely pleasing. EDIT: I started PE first, by about 30-20 seconds. It's now syncing, but I'm not smart enough to know how to help anyone else hear it. It really is quite good.

I think you've got Malc confused with another member, Bruce. Malc's pretty cool.

It's actually pronounced "Sauth A'Frica".

In protest at political apathy, artist nails his own scrotum to Red Square. I remember being told about a vory who nailed his own scrotum to his bed as a prison protest, and always wrote that off as guards chancing their luck on excuses. Guess I underestimated Russians, for once.

Happy Birthday, Sargie. may your increasing age leave you feeling less like a sunken pudding and more like the noble boulder beside the trail. Living every moment in fear of boyscouts.
