Broke out the old speedos and took a stroll in the gassing hot sun. People may laugh and point, but I assure you that this is the optimal configuartion of swimming/summer attire. Minimal cloth coverage minimizes sweat in nasty places, while any loose dangling parts are kept perfectly fixed and stable. Before the women pulled their outrageous global coup that lured us men into start wearing only trunks and boxers, people would have laughed at the idea of legs on underwear. Im still undecided on the banana hammock, though.

I think the mutation thing is the sweetest way, then we get to form an undeground resistance and fight the mutants in style!

I could be making a lot of distasteful jokes right now, but thats not quite right I think so you'll just have to imagine them.

The thread with the most replies wins. And this is NOT good news, IMO. ID Software was one of only three major remaining independant developers, and this signifies and end to an era. Now there is only Valve and Epic games remaining.

I was thinking about building the narrative of a singleplayer game through several different characters, as is done in Longest journey: Dreamfall or Fahrenheit/Indigo prophecy. A game where you as a player jump into a different character for this and that stretch of the game and experience the story from several perspectives throughout. TV and films do this sort of thing all the time, but its not that common in gaming. Now my question is wether you are positive or negative to this kind of setup? And if you could explain why in some detail. p.s To clarify, Im not talking about switching between characters in a party or group. What Im suggesting is a game where you for one part play say a policeman, and other parts you play a journalist and others a drugdealer. Each a separate character, but that plays a part in the large story that sees the fates of all these characters tied together in the end. edit: the poll broke, fixing.

Watched Top Gear with the blokes. I actually figured out that the fake Stig was well before he took his helmet off. This is because for some strange reason, I know that the only black Ferrari FXX without racing stripes was given to as a going away present when he quit F1 back in 2006. Its amazing really how my brain has this fantastic ability to store, in remarkable detail and clearity, only the most useless and trivial information available.

What car would you like to have if you could pick anyone
Kaftan Barlast replied to Nihilus5078's topic in Way Off-Topic
What you should do, is to not drive like an idiot on the road. Roads are for going from one location to another, and not for pretending you're Michael Schumacher. But since driving fast and stupid is both fun and educational, you should find somewhere to do that. Like a motorpark, a rally course or a closed gravel-pit. You cant really learn how to drive and control the car if you dont mess around. -

24 songs is about 2 albums, so the fair amount of damage should be the price of 2 albums. -
Whatever it means, these crystal-collecting, enya-listening, insense-burning, moronic twits should stop trying to kidnap midsummer and turn it into something sexually ambigious. We Scandinavians were the only ones who kept celebrating even after we were christened, and that gives us the right to claim dibs on the whole shebang. You snooze(or go full christian), you lose. A big old "cease and desist" to all smelly hippies and goths who try to make midsummer about something else than getting pissed and singing songs about tiny frogs.

Get your filthy hippie hands off our damn holiday!! The only reason we celebrated midsummer friday instead of today is because you cant get as drunk on a Sunday. Practical guide how to celebrate Midsummer in Sweden: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I5BGsK5ZAU

Why do I have a feeling that vehicle would flip over incredibly easily? Because it doesn't have training wheels? The front has a gyro suspension thingie so you can lean down in the corners just like a normal motorcycle, except this one has twice the grip so its a lot more stable. I'm more partial to the Zonda F myself, but whatever, the Zonda is ridiculously good looking; best super car of the last 5-6 years imho. But I wouldn't want to own one, since supercars are quite fragile. The R is more proportional because its designed to be perfectly balanced on the racetrack, longer front etc. The F is the next best thing though, or THE best considering the R is a racecar and is both illegal and unsuitable to drive on roads. In Top Gear, james tried driving an Aston DBR9 to italy and that did not seem like a pleasant ride. I dont even think the Zonda R has an internal starter engine so you need a pit crew to even get it going. -
Wasnt he just trying to say that there are a whole bunch of 4WD cars out there who are not SUV-sized and dont burn 2 liters of petrol per 10km (miles per gallon is a silly measurement)? Every brand from Lamborghini to Saab has a normal-sized AWD car in their line nowadays. But to stay on topic; are hydrogen fuel cells really energy efficient? If you're clever and look at the resources required to produce and distribute the fuel, instead of just focusing on the small picture.

Its an acceptable game, but definently not a good one. The gameplay is ok and it works, but its not fun enough so that you'll actually enjoy slaughtering the hordes of enemies they throw at you. And the story and setting is just plain rubbish, it tries to be really cool but its really just stupid to the core and full of plotholes. In fact, it's what I dislike the most about the game. Its like they didnt even try to give us a plausible reason to why the main character runs around murdering people. -Ok, so these doctor types did some experiment on you so you got these wicked superpowers with absolutely no drawbacks. -They did WHAT?!!! I'll kill them all!! -Why would you..oh, nevermind. Hey, there's the national guard doing their best to contain the infection and stop the zombies. -They're doing WHAAT?!! ILL KILL THEM ALL, RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!! -Why do you want to kill everybody? Couldnt you just use awesome your powers to stop the zombies? -Stop the zombies??!! Why the f*ck would I want to do that when I can just run around killing EVERYONE?!! And if you're going to have cutscenes with lots of closeups, you need hires versions that look good close up. In prototype they just use the regular ones and thus the faces look really stiff and you can see compression artifacts in the lowres textures. The eyes also look horrible

Let's create the worst fantasy setting ever.

How can you make fantasy any worse than it already is? That's like asking for a virgin rum&coke without any coke in it. -

And Im surpised by the wrecks some of you people are lusting after(the delorean doesnt count, thats awesome), its like someone offers you to pay for any meal in the world and you chose a can of soup. I almost bough one of these beauties, but I decided against it. Yes, it's an Oliver! -
Dont mess with tengil! And Tengils men wore black with purple lined cloaks, since purple is the most evil colour next to the aforementioned black&red.

Im more of a brothers lionheart kind of Swede. A certain cartoon about the children of a pair of legs, a chicken and a cow, of whom the former repeatedly falls into the nose of the latter and emerges with snot dripping from his whole body, and they are sometimes fighting against a devil who constantly shows off his ugly ass isn't made by japanese. Oh and please don't tell us your country is sooo superior. Hey! Cow n Chicken is friggin' awesome!

Picking just one is no fun so I'll pick three, all approved by the men I trust more than anyone in the universe; Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond. 1. The Pagani Zonda R As its not road legal in any country that actually has roads, the Zonda R would be mostly useless but still the prettiest and last of the Zonda line. 2. Ferrari F430 Scuderia Faster round the track than an Enzo and significantly less ugly, the 430S is the kind of supercar a formula one driver would be comfortable driving to work in. And only a true petrolhead would ever drive one becaue its doesnt have sissy luxuries like air condition, a radio or chairs. 3. Rolls-Royce Phantom Where -
A nation whose greatest contributions to the civilized world are badly drawn cartoons and porn so vile that its use in armed conflict would be considered a warcrime.

Aha! I will now test if meshuggah secretly respects me - Rectitude: You understand your own set principles and follow them thourougly - Pah! Consistency is for lesser beings, I could win the olympics in self-contradiction - Courage: In the face of death, you laugh - Nope, Im much more of a run away and hide kind of guy. - Benevolance: You are always destined to do good for you and your surroundings - I usually pay for the coffee so I guess Im in for this one. - Respect(Hur-hur): Meaning that you show respect to others - Respect can be seen as the opposite of rudeness and mockery so.. nope..no, that's a write-off. - Honesty: You are truthful to yourself and others - I only lie when its funny.. which is most of the time. - Honor: Without it, you are dead. - Well, I usually keep my promises if its not too inconvenient, but I dont go around challenging people to duels to the death because they say my shoes are ugly, so no.. - Loyalty: Help others without self-interest, and they will help you. - The other week I helped a friend move some stuff with the promise of icecream, but I didnt get any icecream so that makes it altruistic, right? - Wisdom: Experience, knowledge and how you act and use it. Try to achieve enlightment. - I only use my vast knowledge and irradient wisdom to make fun of people on the internet, does that count? arrr - eeeeh - esss- peee- eeeh- ciii - tea, aight?

Well, everyone who does it here is from the middle east and africa, but not everyone from those areas do it. So logicly it would be a personal culture choice.

They were supposed to be muppets, that was the fun of it! And I thought they were very suitably muppety in a good way. Anyone who owns a 360 or a PS3 and havent played BF:BC should pick it up. It's a solid game.

I wouldnt go as far as calling it "an 8-hour fecal waterslide" as yahtzee did but its a flawed and not very interesting game. The main flaw being that its supposed to be about flow, but the levels are contructed to completely negate that. The only way you can achieve any sort of fluent way to get through a level is if you've played it 3-4 times already. Or that the combat is intentionally crippled and they tell you to avoid it, but still force you to fight because some encounters cant be done any other way. Battlefield: Bad Company is the DiCE/EA series of games you should really play. Unfortunantly, they didnt think an FPS would sell that well on the PC so its console exclusive

New Monkey Island series announced
Kaftan Barlast replied to SteveThaiBinh's topic in Computer and Console
But if its like Sam & Max there are 5 unconnected short stories. I want a full-length adventure with a proper beginning-middle-end.
