  1. Where are all the people who used to play infinity engine games? They seem to have been replaced by those who want games to play themselves.
  2. I've been finding that momentum turns a dual wielder into a murderous death dealer. Really, it automatically turns almost all 2W talents into a useless waste of a quickslot. A bit unbalanced, to say the least. Seriously, except for Shale, all melee fighters become useless because of it.
  3. I have a few friends who live or have lived in England for extended periods of time, and they all think English women people are horribly ugly, even in London. One of them even goes so far as to declare that he has only seen one beautiful English woman. This after living in England for 3 or 4 years. As if everyone in England is a member of the Royle family Now, I've been to the British Isles a couple of times visiting, and I'm not sure I agree with it. I've certainly seen beautiful English women. But I can see where they are coming from, because of the English type. This is all a response to Wals saying London women look amazing. They don't. Even if I don't think they are as ugly as all that. Disclaimer: I think Diana Rigg is one of the most beautiful women of all time.
  4. I got the EULA but not The Edge. What does that mean? Should I be thankful I don't have to listen to U2?
  5. The achievement locked picture is awesome.
  6. If you try to buy games (software) from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk, the website says it won't ship to the zone you're in. I believe it's the same with Steam. There was an news article here in Australia showing how you can still use Steam and bypass the zone restriction by having a friend in another country get it for you. You have to get a bit creative. ebay retailers is anotehr way which is what I use. The risk is that if the package gets stopped by Customs and they realise it's a banned game, they will seize it and issue you a letter for importing banned material. What about online retailers other than Amazon?
  7. Was the problem from inhaling all the smog?
  8. Is it that hard to order games from online retailers in Australia?
  9. The future is coming. The Sliced-Crosswise Only-on-Tuesday World Billenium
  10. Passing out money? hahaha. Of course not. What pirates are doing is spending their money on the shore on whatever they want, be it "varied forms of entertainment" like booze or drugs, or food, clothes and whatever. Check it!
  11. http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=9 Use this mod to avoid the forced skills at start.
  12. So is starving to death, strife and generally living in one of the worst places in the world. What's not so wrong is boosting the economy of the area or improving living standards for local Somalis. You can bet the pirates have killed or hurt less innocent people in the kidnappings than famine would have if these pirates hadn't gone out and fended for themselves. In any case, the point isn't that the pirates are ultimately forces of good, because they aren't. what's important is that their kind of enterprise, "nice" or not, will do a lot more to get third world countries out of the pit of famine, strife and disease they're in, than any relief aid or UN supported drives for democracy.
  13. What's wrong with it?
  14. Right and wrong have nothing do with Somali piracy.
  15. I'd say it's either the power supply or the mobo. So first see if the same issue occurs with a different power supply. If it does, problem solved, you just need a new power supply. If it doesn't, then it's the mobo that's causing the problem. As replacing the mobo sometimes means upgrading the whole system, you might want ride it out until the mobo gives out altogether. When that happens, it's new system time.
  16. I don't really see how anyone could possibly believe that mankind, from a global standpoint, is worse now that at any time before. That's not to say that life isn't absolutely grim and dire for a huge percentage of the world population, because it is. However, overall, things are still better than at any other point in history, when, for all intents and purposes almost everyone lived in "third world" conditions.
  17. Also, the western industrialists dumped a ****load of polluted crap into their waters. They're really engaging in completely justified retaliation on the corporations which have ruined their country's shores. They're not engaging in justified anything. Revenge or morality doesn't enter into it. They are just out to make a living in the best way they can.
  18. These Somali pirates were actually fishermen scraping by in the buttcrack of the world, who found their livelihood compromised by industrial fishing boats using Somalia's undefended coastal waters as a free fishing ride. I'd say this isn't a case of a Robin Hood scenario, but rather a case of free enterprise where a bunch of people with everything against them went out and made business for themselves with whatever meagre resources they had available. It's the romantic American dream, Horn of Africa style. Amazing what can be done with a lot of faith, hardwork, and total disdain for bureaucracy.
  19. At first, I thought you were saying you enjoyed the Deep Roads, because you played through them stoned.
  20. These pirates are awesome in general and they're just fighting against the Man.
  21. New patch. It seems like they are properly supporting King Arthur. I really am this|| close to buckling and buying this on Steam. If it wasn't for Dragon Age I would have bought it already.
  22. Newtonian laws are used in situations where relativistic effects are negligible, but that doesn't mean the calculations are simple. There's no reason to use relativistic mechanics in plenty of situations.
  23. Why do you hope that? If this isn't true it still leaves a hole in Einsteins theories, and we need a new theory to fill it. It's either this or something else. It isn't so much a hole in Einstein's theories, but rather in modern physics. It's a fundamental incompatibility between the standard model and GR that's the problem. If I were to venture a guess I'd say it's the standard model that's incomplete, on account of it being an ugly, "glued together with spit" mess of a thing. Of course, my opinion is just an aesthetic consideration based on what I think physical laws ought to be. Turns out Lobo must have worked with one of my best friends. I'll have to investigate further.
  24. Putting things that way, I'd say it's more the other way around: General relativity is gravity within the framework of special relativity. Anyway, I hope this isn't true but that's just because I find GR quite beautiful and elegant. I wonder who Francisco Lobo is. I never heard of the guy.
