Hell Kitty

I've encounter two bugs so far, both in the same location. I backstabbed a guy, but instead of dying and falling to the ground, he fell up into the air and hovered before eventually getting up and attacking me again, only this time he appeared to be using some kind of god mode. Reload. I shot another guard with an arrow for a one hit kill, but instead of being impaled on the wall like the last guy, the arrow began flying around the room in random directions, with the body rotating violently around it. Crazy. As Pidesco mentioned, if you aren't interested in combat this isn't the game for you. Sure it has stealth, but it's not much compared to a dedicated stealth experience like Thief. Nor does it have the RPGness of Arx Fatalis.

The Sims is already on PC.

You need to have Steam installed for multiplayer. The installer lets you choose whether you want both single and multi though.

I'm waiting for science to bring me chocolate flavoured vegetables.

^ Tyrol had a go at Jammer, but he also accused Gaeta of being a collaborator. I don't think anyone knows he was the insider.

FTL. Waste of power if not using them? Anyway, that episode was fab. Fab fab fab.

I really enjoyed The Departed, but I have to say I prefer Infernal Affairs. In The Departed In Infernal Affairs By the end of IA3 Unlike The Departed which ends with

Awesome. I was going to ask if anyone picked this up. I just noticed on TV that it's out for the 360. I assume it's out for the PC as well? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought it was delayed until 3rd November! Maybe that is Europe? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Here in Oz it's only out for the 360. Due out sometime in the next 3 weeks for the other systems (different dates from different sources). Anyway, I'm currently playing Secret Files: Tunguska.

You were going great until you went and did this.

I guess that depends on how long it takes the game to reach the bargin bin.

^ What's the point of buying a game now only to have it sit around while you wait for patches (that may not even come), when you can buy it later, likely for a cheaper price, once patches have been released, or avoid it entirely if the problems are never fixed?

Same.

^ The quickslot thingy only take around half the screen at 1024x768. If you force higher resolutions in the ini, it seems to use the 640x480 interface, which takes up the whole screen.

Of course, because refraining from drawing pictures we know will piss of those in the Muslim world would be taking "it up the ass by the muslim world". But no, you're right, we can't give in! In fact we should start making derogatory cartoons featuring Blacks and Jews as well. Afterall, we can't have the **** and kikes stopping our freedom of speech and expression.

Yeah, because that's the mature way to deal with the situation. Maybe if western women start dressing with the purpose of annoying Muslims, sure. Of course it'll never happen because it's incredibly silly.

Saw The Departed tonight, after rewatching the original last night. Good stuff.

Where the North Korean soldiers are, obviously.

I linked to the HDTP a few pages back. They plan on having updated models and textures for all items, weapons, and characters, though so far they've only released a teaser with most items done and the new Gunther model. After firing it up I've got to say I much prefer vanilla DX. The Zodiac mod is quite good, providing it's the one with the CIA headquarters as the first level, it's possible I'm thinking of something else. Don't bother with The Cassandra Project. They only ever released a tiny teaser and it will annoy you they it's since been abandoned.

And what about the guy who kills 1000 nuns and eats 2000 babies and sends perfume-scented letters to the victims families saying how much he enjoyed it and would do it again given the chance? Man, these anti death penalty people are practically advocating nun killing and baby eating!

Maybe impulse is the wrong word. I don't go in and just pick up anything off the shelf because it looks cool, however I don't really plan most of my purchases either. I will walk in and if there is something that that I know that I will like (from having played earlier games in a series/based on opinions of those I trust) I will then pick it up. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> When I say I impulse buy I mean I hadn't planned to buy it at that time (or perhaps at all really), that I was in the store at the time and had the money. I've never bought something I've never heard of before. Unless it was dirt cheap. As for pre-orders, I don't bother. I do buy collectors/limited editions, though. They usually aren't much more that the regular versions here. They are usually on DVD compared to the regular CD edition, though I suppose that is changing more nowadays. There has certainly never been anything in a special edition that I was particularly interested in.

Death should be the punishment for all crimes - murder, rape. jaywalking, downloading copyrighted material from the internet... If you can't obey the law you don't deserve to live.
