Yup. Everyone still thinks they're extremely smart, extremely tough and extremely.. well, basically everything. Have you tried http://www.mensa.dk? (Use mediation 15) Edit: Crap, nevermind. They turned it into some sort of pay-site. Edit2: Oohh, refound it: http://www.iqtest.dk/main.swf Edit3: Ps. Before posting your results make sure you take a screenshot of your score..

Interplay did Wasteland long before BIS ever existed. And I still think that's the best game to ever come out of Interplay.. Actually, it's probably the best game I've ever played.

This is Bob. He's a dustbunny.

Why do you cheat in a game like GTA: San Andreas? I mean, the game itself offers you endless possibilites to do almost anything you want. The only thing I see those codes doing is destroy any challenge the game might have. You people are weird. By the way, I love how this game ends, and since I don't know if this is considered a spoiler or not, I'll use those silly tags! Edit: Hey, that looks like a 'smiley-on-a-stick'!

Wow. I really did hit the nail right on the head with my recommendation, didn't I?

Did you know that females in general have much worse hand-eye coordination than males?

I really don't think this is the case. Death from bleeding is very common, even when you're in a hospital, because the doctors just doesn't have enough time to repair all the damaged blood vessels before your life runs out of your body. With this technique, a LOT more people could be saved (gunshot wounds, car accidents, chainsaw accidents, suicide attempts and so on). If only you could see how many people come into the ER every Friday night.. (my sister is a doctor).

Haha, yeah, the dialogue in that mission is hilarious, if a bit prepubescent. It was a really difficult mission too, if you were unlucky with the traffic or if your motorcycle skill was too low. My girlfriend thought I was nuts when I kept laughing one second, then swearing profusely the next (because I had fallen off my bike again).

Don't forget: if there IS animation, it's usually no more than 2-3 badly drawn frames. Often the only thing that changes are their tiny triangular mouths moving a little, or those weird waterdrops that keep flying around their abnormally huge heads.

Yes, because there are plenty of tough street gangs just waiting for a computer nerd to walk down to them, asking if he can join. Actually, if he does that, he doesn't even have to join to get shot at! :D

I really miss getting those little goodies in my game boxes. Nowadays I get the games for free, but I rarely even get a printed manual. Usually I just get a DVD (or CD) in an envelope. I know for a fact that I would have bought a whole lot more games when I was younger, had they contained more stuff like cloth maps, ankh's or miniature action figures. The Gold Box games only contained a code wheel (at least in Sweden) which sucked because the boxes were large enough to hold a.. fridge.. or a piano.

Uh.. let me put it this way: There are only 10 sorts of people in this world: those who understand Boolean and those who don't. ..10 is Boolean 2, 11 is actually Boolean 3..

The first time I loaded up Gothic and discovered that I had no idea how the controls worked (second hand copy imported from England without manual), I had no idea who I was or where I was. Then I strolled down the mountain at the start and when I turned a corner, the game suddenly opened up and you could see a river glistening in the sun below and even further away an entire city fill up the horizon. It was a magic moment and a 'love at first sight' experience. What really sealed the deal of playing Gothic for the first time being memorable enough, was when I reached the bottom of the mountain and entered a light forest (after some gruesome fighting). Everything was so silent, calm and serene, and the graphics were so beautiful (I thought at the time) so I just wandered around admiring the scenery.. when suddenly a PACK of wolves attacked me from behind with a huge ROAARRR. I could only sit there, with my heart pounding in my chest, and watch as the wolves tore my poor adventurer to shreds. It was a powerful (and very shocking) experience. Gothic never holds your hand. Never. Another memorable gaming moment was when I managed to assemble VAX and have him wait for me outside the last battle in Wasteland. I had no idea games could offer so much until I had played Wasteland (in 1987).

Come on now.. you all know you want to jump on the Deus Ex bandwagon.. just do it.. doooo iiiiitttt...

To be honest, Mr. Chris Avellone didn't come across as a particularly sympathic person in that interview. Still, he's a great writer so I couldn't care less.

I had great troubles with Linear Algebra (typical, since that's what's most common in ordinary 3D programming), but I breezed through most of the other math courses (Differential Equations, Statistics, Applied Mathematics and so on)

But.. but.. her skin texture.. it's irresistable!

I've been playing a little BF2 online.. I've already gotten very good at lying in my own pool of blood, helplessly crying "Medic!" at random intervals.

I sure hope that's an air softgun or something of a small caliber, because the way she's holding it halfway against her shoulder/upper arm would mean a whole lot of pain if the kickback was powerful. I remember when these old women wanted to try skeetshooting at the shooting range I was working on one summer and one of the old women pulled the trigger on a shotgun before she had put it firmly against her shoulder.. The gun slid down along the arm, until it reached her elbow, where it stopped. A few minutes later, her entire upper arm was dark blue from bruising. She sure is pretty though.

You're as insane as me. There once was a MUD called Valhalla which was situated on a server in Sweden. It used an old codebase called DIKU (I think). One day the university who owned the server decided to rebuild the server room and Valhalla MUD was disconnected and put into storage. Meanwhile the creators of DIKU moved on to DIKU2 (I think, but the name feels wrong somehow) and at the same time they switched to a new server. So the old server is still in storage somewhere in that swedish university. I never liked DIKU2 (went from a level 1-199 player system to a 1-50 system among other things) so for a couple of years I kept phoning and emailing the university with requests to buy the old server. Unfortunately, the creator's of DIKU (or VME as it is called nowadays) never allowed me to, and by now I'm sure it wouldn't even work anymore. I had a LOT of fun with the old Valhalla though. Players could reach level 199 (if they played a long time) and the gods on the server started from level 200-255. The smaller gods (level 200-220) were called Demigods and could only perform simple tasks (like helping players who had gotten stuck, changing player titles and so on) and depended on players sacrificing heads to their name (you could cut off the head of everything you killed and sacrifice it to the Demigod of your choice, giving that god 'experience points'). The bigger gods were administrators and world builders. Anyhow, the player building was kind of classless, so if you planned your character well you could become extremely powerful in certain areas. My character had a summon spell, and since I was level 199 and the small gods were only a few levels above me, we used to summon them around a lot. We called it god-ping-pong. The trick was to have the ball (the god) in your room when you finally were frozen/banned/kicked. Those were the days.. DIKU2 made the gods untouchable, the players weaker (level 50 was max) and the entire game a whole lot more boring.

Wasteland Gothic Deus Ex Damn, it's difficult to choose just three! I mean, I had to leave out GTA: San Andreas, Gothic 2, Daggerfall and a whole lot more great games. But at this moment, those three games are the ones that come to mind. Apparently this changes from time to time.. which is weird.

Yeah, but it was a great adventure/RPG-hybrid. I remember getting lost in all those horrible dungeons..

Yeah, I've had a few. Sometimes when you're driving around a car spawns in front of you, and when it does, it can point in any direction. It will quickly rotate until it points in the direction of its movement, but for a few seconds it looks really ridiculous. I've also seen some cars half buried in the street, with their nose pointing down. Once I ran over a motorcyclist to be able to steal his motorcycle. Just as I pressed ENTER to mount the bike, the original owner of the motorcycle decided the same thing, so I ended up in the driver's seat with an old, ugly man sitting behind me, pressing his.. AAIIEEH. I prefer not to think about it. Anyhow, when I finally got off the bike, the guy was still sitting behind me and as I moved away he suddenly drove off, still sitting in the passenger seat, not even touching the steering handles. It looked REALLY odd. One of the best things about GTA: San Andreas is how almost nothing is scripted and if you just drive around, weird things can happen around you. I was out mountainbiking peacefully on the highest mountain in the game one day, when I suddenly heard a loud BOOM in the near vicinity. I looked around me to see where it came from, but I couldn't see anything. Then all of a sudden this aeroplane comes crashing down the mountainside, pulling me and my bike with it in the fall and over a HUGE cliff. The drop was like.. 300 meter and I immediately died when I 'landed'. It turned out that one of the planes that fly around in the sky all the time had crashed into the mountainside above me and then tumbled down until it hit me. It looked really neat, although I was quite pissed.

Not hard at all. And it's cheap as hell!
