K3: Quantity or quality?
I'd honestly wonder if this isn't the case, given how fanatical people can be at demanding content, of any kind, as soon as humanly possible. You get people hacking into developers work studios if you don't supply them with the stuff they wanted. I almost see greater outcry for a game delay announcement than I do for a game with bugs.

Most of my theatre was laughing too. I thought it was a little silly personally too.

Mathematically correct, but misleading from the standpoint of precision in writing. In terms of a conclusion in a technical report, "most" isn't strong. Would you fly on an airlines that tells you, "Most of the time, we don't crash."? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not any less than if the airline report said "We can say with that we don't crash an overwhelmingly majority of the time." Since you're analyzing it so deeply though, when is most no longer "most," but more "overwhelmingly majority" or something else so to speak? Furthermore, what if someone disagrees with your interpretation, or your interpretation isn't as known so someone uses it under a different standing? Is 80% most? 90%? 95%?

Most is anything from 50%+1 to 100%-1

He kind of reminds me of Gary Oldman in one of his pictures

cell phone
Yeah, I'd expect it to be lack of evidence more than anything.

Is the brain cancer actually reputable? I've heard rumors on both sides. And if it does cause brain cancer, is it any more than being blasted with all sorts of telecommunications radiation from the sky via satellite Oh, I don't have a cell phone either

Disabling Movies - Especially Intro Movies
I'm not 100% familiar with them, but you *should* in theory just be able to load them, and the next time you use Bink Video, you should automatically use the new codecs.

It could be an "in most instances" comment since there's always avenues that were not tested. However, that does not mean that those avenues would have more lethality either. Even if you checked 99.999999999% of the methods, you'd still use "in most instances." In most instances, gravity will pull you down :D

Nope. Look at the post that I was responding to: My question was more a jab at why was Iraq invaded when I had heard so much bad news about Syria before Iraq was even invaded.

I wasn't the one that said invading other countries is the action to take.

No-CD Patch?
I would normally predict closure too....but nothing seems to be getting closed at the moment.

Hehehe. For the record, I'm just playing devil's advocate to see what people have to say. My opinion on the matter will remain firmly my own

Ok then. But where's the invasion of Syria? From my lacklustre (apathy?) following of world events, it sounds like they've been harbouring terrorist groups more than even Iraq has.

Hey, I *did* say I had specifically upgraded my computer

Cold War
I was reading up on a neat looking game cold Cold War where you are a photographer caught up in a global conspiracy. He's very resourceful (some might argue too resourceful, but meh), but it sounds like a lot of fun. http://pc.ign.com/articles/631/631799p1.html

Perhaps the one person analogy didn't work, since they were supposed to mimic the larger, organizations. However, to what ends do you go to make sure that they opposition is crushed? Particularly in terms of collateral damages and whatnot. Do you punish every Muslim, since that would give you a large probability of getting your target, or do you utilize some other method?

Civ IV
Doh! My bad! People will be too awestcuk by the fancy hip movment.

I really enjoyed the game. And even though Troika no longer exists, I was kind of happy to see that Activision let them hang around long enough to release their patch. I think it was a bit too coincidental that Troika just ups and disappears a week after the patch As I said....Haunted House =

I don't care. They started it. I guess that's where all the shady areas come in. People have many variations on "who" started it. Would me beating someone to death because they shoved me and "started it" be okay though?

No-CD Patch?
No-CD "patch" eh? It's a good possiblity that the size shot up since you're not using the cracked exe file anymore...give it a try I guess and see if it works

Well.....there was always the possibilty that he'd go on a murderous rampage for people altering his life's work! I didn't really see it happening, but there's always that SLIGHT chance Now Akari.....perhaps we can discuss the location of your secret forum leaks? *enter an interrogation droid*

Err... not to be raining on your party or anything, but the biggest issue people seemed to have with the game was its poor performance. And since that was caused by the game's use of an unpolished and poorly optimized early build of the Source engine, the patch doesn't fix it. Lots of people (myself included) reported the game suffering memory leaks, too. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Game ran fine for me....but I did upgrade my computer specifically for Half-Life 2. Athlon XP 3500+ 1GB of RAM Radeon 9800 Pro. *zoom zoom* No performance problems at all In fact, I never really had a hard time playing it for really long periods of time...although there likely is a leak somewhere, as performance did begin to degrade (particularly loading times), but I was already on the third part of town before that happened! Haunted House = teh

This game was *insane* fun....until.... I really, really, REALLY loved the game up until then. My guy was a master sniper :D
