  1. Nightmare on Elm Street scared the bejesus out of me, when it came out.

     

    The thought of the surreal contents of my dreams having consequences in the real world; that an entity could invade my personal spaces and pollute them ... it was very effective.

     

    I watched that when I was about 8 years old. For a long time i used to imagine Freddy outside my window. Him and the monster thing from the beginning of The Twilight Zone movie.

     

    The Omen scared me the worst. It really played into religious beliefs I had at the time... when i was 6 or 7 I guess.

  2. Its kinda sad when a poster makes a \"return\" only for nobody to know who that poster was in the first place. Then again, any sympathy one may feel is immediately offset by the sheer gall of said poster in making a topic to mark their return.

     

    \"I\'m leaving\" topics or \"I\'m returning\" topics or even \"I am subjecting you all to the drama of my pitiful life by announcing a change in my previously annoying board persona and I promise to be pleasant but in fact I will just revert to my old self pretty quick thus making this topic rather disingenuous and in fact just a a plea for attention\" topics just reek of self aggrandizement.

     

    Hiatuseses and returns should be done quietly.

  3. I don't know if that was mentioned, but not only "new post" markers are not updated properly; sometimes after posting, some threads go back to "unread" state.

     

    I think Meta stated that but yes, it is still a problem.

  4. btw admins, the new deathstar forum icon things are not an improvement.

     

    Its almost as if you think your opinion has any merit! Fascinating...

     

    In any case, the contrast between read and unread states is a lot more visible than before and the design fits in with the "O" for Obsidian thing.

  5. Talking Heads - Once in a lifetime

     

    SAME AS IT EVER WAS!!

     

    Hmm.. either this track is on loop or this song is bloody long.

     

     

    EDIT: Phew! Its ok, everybody can relax. The track was on loop after all.

  6. The Mac OS bitching is tiresome and petty, its fans should just sit in a smug and patronising silence.

     

    Anyway, this Vienna thing. Is it supposed to be a brand new full OS, a hefty update to Vista or a glorified service pack. I ask because the articles I have read seem to compare the seemingly imminent release date to that of of XP SP2.

  7. Would us members be able to make our own eventually?

     

    Dear god... I hope not.

     

    I am assuming the blog feature is to collate blogs directly relevant to Obsidian Entertainment and its employees. Besides, there are plenty of blogging sites available for the riff raff.

  8. Big concerts are for raising awareness. I rather think everyone with access to electronic or print media already knows climate change is an issue.

     

    Do I think it will help? Excuse me while I laugh bitterly. These gigs are about making simple travelling minstrels feel like world statesmen, and apathetic dribbling masses feel as if they are doing something 'right on'. The only thing that is worse is a multi-billion dollar concert for food aid or world poverty.

     

    *sour look*

     

    Nonsense, the "End Climate Change" wristbands will have a huge positive effect. All those poor Climatians will finally get some money to help.

  9. Things are looking brighter for the Playstation 3's future:

     

    "In terms of Cell on 65nm, Yuhara said only that production is presently underway."

     

    "Yuhara indicated seperately that as of December, blue laser diode yields have improved greatly..."

    I also read today that a new firmware update will allow the Playstation 3 to do background downloading, just like the Xbox 360:

    The Playstation 3 is shaping up. Hidden potential and all that crap that Epiphany so vehemently denies.

     

    What is the advantage of 65nm? Will that make it more power efficient and produce less heat?

  10. There are other messages but they cannot be seen.

     

    ?

     

    The messages are meant to seen only by the worthy.

    First you must purify your mind and soul by undergoing a series of trials each more mysterious than the last. Each trial will test your utmost fortitu...

     

    Heh...

     

    You literally cant see them because the whole message is not in shot.
