Miss you guys
Look up salmiakki for all your salted licorice needs, also makes for interesting ****tails. I thought Black Box was Valve's cancelled companion to the Orange Box, reported to contain only Episode II, Team Fortress II and Portal and be cheaper than the all-inclusive Orange Box. And hey, I was at the BIS boards as well, but I was a relative newcomer.

What are you playing now?
You got 3 games for the price of one, so no complaining about Portal 1's length.

Character reveal trailer
This one actually seems somewhat interesting. I'd like to see Obsidian make some really interesting characters, no one else seems to.

Books
Little late on the Endymion front, I read the whole 4-book series. But I know what you mean.

Baldur's Gate Revival
There is a grand total of one signature. Job well done, Obsidianites

Read the whole Hyperion Cantos. Simmons's writing and characters are great, but the story is horribly convoluted while having a very simplistic point, the sci-fi goes well into metaphysics and I wasn't the biggest fan of the ending either. Oh and Wise Man's Fear came out and is somewhat disappointing.

What are you playing now?
It's all about Desperados, brah. Speaking of which. I'm thinking about buying Helldorado. Is it any good? No idea, the second one wasn't so hot, so I wouldn't put too much faith into this.

"Elite" type games?
Oh, so there's a strategy-style base building thing? Or is it more like a RPG style skill/research tree?

What are you playing now?
Did some sort of embargo get lifted? Some closed documents opened? Can we really criticize AP without being told that we are playing it wrong or just generally stupid? My world is turning upside down here, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria!

Getting mixed messages here. What makes it slower than say Freelancer?

Not sure about Mudeater land, but Source Code premiered here on the 8th. Maybe you need better cinemas in your great Sweden?

"Elite" type games?
EVE seems really good for economy and sociology research, I sincerely hope that people are actually making use of it.
-
"Elite" type games?
I-War 2 is the newest playable one I know. EVE is nothing like Elite, it's more of a space-adapted RPG with an emergent world and a focus on management. I-War 1/2 are up on GOG, by the way.

Saw Source Code, from the Moon guy. Good stuff, quite sci-fi-y with some other interesting elements thrown in. Recommended.

That would depend on the optimization on the PC version. There are quite a few games that run decently on PS3/360 and barely work on the highest end PCs of the time.- Character reveal trailer

It's basically a topic designator, makes it easier to find tweets by topic in the search. It's called hashtag AFAIK.- HBO's Game of Thrones
It's part of the "new wave" fantasy that deconstructs old fantasy tropes and is generally dark and gritty. It's good, but certainly not for everyone's tastes. This is about the TV series, no?- HBO's Game of Thrones
