Humodour

From a complex systems point of view, there's nothing espeically amazing about creating life (besides that it's... complex). From the the perspective of a curious human however, it's pretty neat. Why would it be immoral? It's a bacteria. It's no more immoral than coding a genetic algorithm.

WTF. Steam just pushed the realase date back another 3 days. FFS why? It's digital distribution. Why the **** would you delay it in certain parts of the world (Europe and Australia)?

It's not designed for that, though. It's free (based on advertisements) and it's based on an old game already released which DOES have that capability. An open-sourced game, to boot! Edit: And, it should be noted, it runs in your browser.

Got the GCF's off a mate today (8gb). Will try it after I get off work but don't think I'll play it today. Way too messed up from lack of sleep and having to wake up at 7am for work.

So about 20 of my friends have it now. Sorry Mkreku, no room for you.

Did you find Diablo 2 repetitive? Did you find Left 4 Dead repetitive? If there answer to either of those is 'no', you'll probably like it.

I assume I can be loyal to the worldwide revolution, yes? Otherwise, comrade Rorie, I may not end up purchasing this game. I am America, and so can you!

Obstinate Pig-headed Like a terrier with a child's face Stubborn, Obsessive, Bullheaded... whats the name of those dictionaries that show similar meaning words? Being down to my last pair of pants and one and a half t-shirt without holes in it, I had to go shopping for new clothes. I hate shopping for clothes this weekend. Hopefully this will last me for another decade That post made no sense, but I agree. 2 pairs of pants left after I lost a pair when I was drunk. Of the two remaining, one has a hole in the bum and a cut in the knee. Definitely clothes shopping time!

I endorse Tigranes for Benevolent Forum Dictator.

I really shouldn't post when I'm drunk ;P Nah do it. It's fun mate. Nothing more thrilling to do than drunkenly laugh at your posts at 4am when every other bastard sod has long since turned in for the night.

Fairly meh. It's designed for MP play, like Diablo 2 was.

I read the first line only to avoid spoilers. Anyway you've made me want to play it. NWN2 OC didn't impress that much.

Well it is, for most folks... That's really only true in North America where gamers are mostly lazy ****s.

All I really care about in this issue is Australian companies, and here the problem seems smaller:

I like the fact that Australian demographers are predicting that the cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, etc will become so large (and rural areas so small) by 2050 that the states will become powerless and Australia well be governed by a handful of powerful capital city councils. Already 90% of Australians live in big cities on the coast. I concede this has nothing to do with how queer the Motherland is. Sorry chaps.

Just for the record: that's a pretty inaccurate portrayal of ADHD. Not that you guys care, I suppose. It's always fun to laugh at people with disabilities or disorders, right?

I just bought a 4-pack with 3 mates. Another mate is buying a 4-pack and needs some more people. You might be in luck mkreku. If there's a spare copy to gift, I'll buy it and you can Paypal me for it.

Exactly. Working for others gives me a strong emotional investment, and that always motivates me well. If we did that I would always get the job done on time, and I'd do it well. For example, at work, I'm the most responsible and hard-working person in the team, and my boss has said as much quite a few times. *sigh*

I do and I reckon I'm clever. And stupid at the same time. I've done pretty well in life so far so I have no major complaints. I've messed up two university degrees now but I'm still on $50,000 a year in relaxed job I enjoy doing with excellent advancement prospects. I've got decent friends, good family, and I have no stress. And I can probably salvage my second degree if I halve my work-load, do only maths subjects for a while, and get a string of high distinctions in a row. And don't drink when assignments are due. The worst thing about my uni degrees is I do poorly because I'm just plain lazy, yet I often help my top classmates with their assignments. It's self-sabotage to an extreme level. If I don't complete this degree, I don't care too much. I'll save up ****loads then travel the world a bit (South America is in mind) and then whatever.

Nukes don't work against terrorists. But terrorists work best with nukes. It's a problem. It's why we need to stop them. If the Taliban and the Qeada infiltrate the Pakistan military's top levels, it's game over for us.

I wish I could remember the correct usage of 'whom'.

A quick read of this thread suggests we actually do, but it's all in accountant speak. Am I correct? http://au.messages.yahoo.com/finance/finan...ocktalk/114401/ Also: http://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/content....ntent/36586.htm

You can even backup steam games to disc(s) very easily, eliminating the need to redownload them. You still need to activate those backups on Steam if you ever want to use them. That's the only thing about Steam that bothers me.
