  1. Very, as it doesn't work on modern macs. Won't preorder though, will grab from the app store when it gets there. Waiting for the big bg1 patch that was delayed due to the Atari mixup before I have a go at that. Been over ten years since I've last run a character through both. Looking forward to it, now that the crunch at work seems to be abating a bit as I have to spend less thinking about what the **** I'm supposed to do.
  2. I was reading a good book, the same thing happened. Doing my zombie impression at work.
  3. Reminds me of the time the Israeli army targeted the terror cell of the Palestinian SAT test, forcing students to resit.
  4. Yep, the most fun I've had in the game was last year when I ran to a fairly entertaining British guy and we ran most of the planets from hoth onwards. Wish I could get something like that with my imp assassin, I'd love to finish that story.
  5. Counted. 14 pairs. Oops. You, sir, are a single female lawyer. Actually, I just treat them really well so they last me ages. A good half of them are hiking/gym/tennis shoes, which I hadn't been counting
  6. Either something's changed in cash generation or I sucked more in that game than I'd realised.
  7. Around here, that would be called insurance fraud.
  8. In fact, it sounds like what they've been doing so far... But glad to hear the next game officially announced.
  9. S'ok, as long as I don't post pictures of food online or tag myself every time I pass near an airport lounge, I'll still consider not having gained my douchebag card, even if I've lost my man one.
  10. Geez, you guys are making me feel like a real tool. In my defence, I WAS a metrosexual lobbyist about six months ago. I think I own like 7 or 8 pairs of shoes. So maybe "was" is more like "am"? :D
  11. Well, ps3 users have been complaining for the whole generation about how they had to suffer FMVs packed for DVD size, instead of using the full available storage space on blu-rays. Imagine if digital downloads were more heavily compressed than disc releases, or even worse, they'd start compressing the whole release more heavily to make the digital download smaller? If you don't have the bandwidth, buy the disc. Simple. Such rationale requires a level of technological proficiency which console users seem adamant about not learning. If you have a console its very likely that you're trying to avoid technical issues and learning. I find your methodology suspect, especially since I don't feel like I fit your profile myself. Then you may be the exception, I've met some. Still most console owners I know aren't tech savvy and when the inevitable PC vs Consoles debate starts one of the main arguments seems be the convenience of a machine exclusively for playing games. Which seems to be a common response around the web, alongside the fact that consoles (allegedly) don't have to deal with as many technical issues as the PCs. Of course I chalk that up to general ignorance surrounding PC gaming, hell I used to believe that myself before I got into it. Eh, I have a somewhat non-standard setup (video and audio out via hdmi into amp and from there to tv/monitor) and frankly, it gives me no end of trouble on the pc side while it does, indeed, just work for both the consoles. CoH for example gives me a hard crash when I try to start it when I've forgotten to switch down to two channels. And stuff like that. Sure, it's probably limited to older games, but that's what I play on the PC, anyway. I don't think I've ever played a single pc game which hasn't required some sort of ini tweak, fix, processor core limiter or God knows what else to use. I'm technically proficient enough to do it, but liberal arts enough to not like it.
  12. Mmh, apart from whole "only jewelry a man should wear" aspect, it's basically the only way to know the time while in court. Heh, I managed to get through my last few years of secondary school wearing a waistcoat and pocket watch without getting into any fights.. Ok, pocket watches are allowed too. And monocles.
  13. Not necessarily. While, historically, the appropriations resolving past federal funding gaps have provided back pay for the furloughed workers, there is no guarantee of such, and there are reasons to suspect that doing so might not be the highest priority of the folks on the Hill. We federal civil servants aren't exactly the most popular folks around. At least the weather is incredibly nice. Although I have spent an embarrassingly large portion of the day with Crusader Kings II, I took a bike ride earlier, and I've got some flank steak marinading to grill this evening. For reasons that are too complicated to go into, I have decided that Enoch's job is to be the voice of the statue of Abraham Lincoln. Well they do both have the same profession! Awesome hat wearing or awesome beard growing? No, just "awesome" Though I think I might be the resident "prairie lawyer". Or premiere lover, as I like to call it. Resident for president etc. Today, I have mostly been going slowly crazy.

  16. Just don't use Woldan's possessed gun to do it.
  17. Tbh, my objection was more towards "black" as a suit color than anything else. I have a bottle of 18yo Highland Park (as well as Bruichladdich and Auchentoshan Three Wood). If those aren't good enough for the president, he can go **** himself.
  18. I never get the "I hope you're here about a divorce, ma'am" clients.
  19. Yeah, got spoiled already on FB. Managed to watch the first quarter in the morning before going to work, their offense is (still) poetry in motion.
  20. Yyyeah, call it my lack of self-respect, but never gonna own a black suit. Navy and charcoal are as close as I'm gonna get. And, well, a dinner jacket. Of course, I'm wearing khakis, a good shirt and a military type sweater right now.
  21. double 10s on the magical weapon chart
