  1. Echo the graphics comment. I wonder what the actual resolution for that thing is. Strangely, Kotor looks (IMHO) a lot better :/
  2. Hesburger > Burger king. The impossibility of that equation had me stuck in a time/space continuum loop for a week. Random droppings from an outhouse coated with too much mayonnaise = Hesburger
  3. I'll bash it for linearity and lack of c&c when/if I see it, not based on wild extrapolations from a few random sentences.
  4. I'vebeen looking for one, but the only thing I can find is an option to make an image into a watermark style. I can't find a way to watermark every page. I'm thinking you might have to do a slide template that with the watermark and repeat that. I HAD to use openorifice when I was working for the ministry of justice and there's no way it's coming back on my computer for me to check. I find this reaction interesting as OpenOffice is one of my favourite pieces of software and I would certainly choose it over Microsoft's solution for my purposes. All I know is that I was unable to get two pages of text on the screen at the same time. It's been a while, so it might have been fixed since (or the "government approved" version could have been ancient. This was in... '07... The experiences were overall negative, possibly related to the overall work experience

  6. Neither did I, but google is amazing!
  7. Could be, No, yes, it's the whole point... Agree with Lady Crimson, it's intentionally open to interpretation (one way or the other).
  8. Both Bioware and Bethesda appear grotesquely enraptured about what the fans think. Probably explains their success. And the tediousness of their games. The way I read it was that they can actually tell the difference when there's a genuine "movement" vs. 10 people repeating the same thing ad nauseam. The latter happens quite a lot.
  9. CRIT for double damage! Ouch man, genuinely sorry to hear that. I think it was more *DEATHBRINGER ASSAULT*, a special ability she had rather than a natural 20. Also there's supposed to be an epic thunderstorm coming. I believe it, since it feels like my head is about to explode.
  10. 26 in Helsinki. The main issue here is that most public spaces have either no AC or substandard. So basically going indoors means dealing with 35c temperatures. I have AC at work, and with blinds and stuff can keep my tiny apartment bearable (under 30). Every summer I'm astonished by the fact that nobody ever considers that it occasionally (~3 months every year) actually gets reasonably warm here.
  11. That's what she said!
  12. Gee, I guess I was the only one who fought a bunch of Qunari mercenaries in the game. They all looked like Sten too. (won't make a "horny qunari" joke. Won't.)
  13. New Dragon Age DLC featuring the return of the (TEH) Warden Importable from DAO or Awakening. At 400 bio points it's going to be either the bargain of the century, or over so fast you'll miss it if you blink.
  14. I definitely agree with Gromnir here. Of course, I can go on record saying that IMHO at least Viconia's and Bastila's romances were pretty good. The DAO romances not so much.
  15. Was the breakup fairly recently? March, but there are... complications. Like the fact that she was the most gorgeous woman I've ever MET, never mind... spent time with. Let's just say that a week later, she was engaged to somebody else. And that we work at the same place.
  16. Finland's better off without it. You should see what we DO have.
  17. And there I was, thinking I'd invented it. Of course, there's also the fact that I today accidentally came across a pic of my ex at some office party - and almost came unglued on the spot.
  18. At least you have Burger King, unlike Finland.
  19. Hm, maybe we need to send Ubisoft a few boxes of condoms. "We might be getting shafted, but you better use some protection..." Better make them these
  20. The girls you know are obviously a lot less mercenary than the ones I know. Must be law school?
  21. Coz they are in the bin, and are not the main private owner of Disney and CEO of a Fortune 100 company. But my whole point was that the difference between the two is probably... marginal.
  22. My gut feeling is that in the U.S. the school district is either underfunded or hell-bent on teaching creationism.
  23. Yeah, when you start from "the whole world is my market" you're setting yourself up as Steve Jobs or an Asylum Inmate. Surely you don't need me to look up statistics that most gamers are, still, in fact male. p.s. There's a lot more people in the loony bin vs. 1 Steve Jobs.
  24. I couldn't make out enough of the combat bit to scream that the sky is falling just yet. THIS!
  25. Assuming you want your children schooled in English, you'll generally have to part with a rather sizeable chunk of dough in non-native English speaking countries. Of course, that's "sizeable" when compared to, say, "completely free", so YMMV.
