Humodour

wow

Libya paid for prognosis on Lockerbie bomber lol.

What do you mean 'if'?

I would have accepted a game similar to Deus Ex 1 instead of perfection. But they chose to dumb it down and remove key elements that made DX1 great (many to appease console fans), resulting in DX2 being at best a mediocre game you play for, what, 15 hours, then throw away - ideal for the console fans it was re-aimed at, I guess.

That's exactly right. Even supposing a hypothetical human with infinitely long telomeres, that being would still die of old age due to mutation build up (the most dramatic form of which is cancer - run-away cell growth). Of course, it may take a lot longer for that person to die of old age... or it might not. I'm not sure but I don't think infinite telomeres would prevent signs of ageing like wrinkles. Telomeres have a deeper purpose - preventing chromosomes from having important information deleted from the end due to transcription errors ('junk' telomeres DNA is deleted instead, until it runs out over many cell divisions). Many signs of old age are environmental - due to physical stress on the body over decades.

VTM: Bloodlines. Ouch... That game is horribly unoptimised. I used to have a P4 2.8Ghz / Nvidia FX5900 Ultra / 2Gb ram desktop, and it was sluggish on that one. It might be possible to get it to run, but I doubt that it will run at a playable speed, i.e. it might not be fun. Something tells me it was a conflict with an individual component or driver on that machine because, while I accept that Bloodlines isn't terrific at optimisation, I got by fine with it on my Tablet PC which was a 1.4 Ghz Intel Centrino M with a Geforce 5200 @ 32 mb, with 256mb of CPU RAM. Framerate became sluggish at times but it was always more than playable and generally smooth.

Nah, you could get a way with a few 5 year old games on it quite easily (E.g. Bloodlines, HL2). But it won't be running anything new. Edit: And I just realised Bloodlines is exactly what you're trying to play. lol

Didn't somebody already post this thread? The key to eternal youth is finding out how to stop the telomeres from running out. Edit: on that note, one method of determining an upper bound on her lifespan is to see if her cells are dividing normally - i.e. whether they are erasing telomeres at the rate of somebody normal who is her physical age. If her cells ARE dividing normally, and I can't see why they wouldn't, then you'd expect a lifespan no longer than, say, 110 years old. It might be better to say this is the girl who never matures than the girl who never ages.

If the integrated graphics is Intel I'd say you're boned. If it's nVidia, I'd say it's worth trying. Edit: It's Intel. You're boned.

lol

who kill thier babbys. becuse these babby cant frigth back

Sadly, I don't think so.

They need to do way instain mother>

The game has never been delayed before. A late 2009 release is certainly an early release for this game in the first place!

4 damage with max rifle skill. Either way I found it to be the fastest killing weapon in the game since a single mouse click to an enemy's head was enough to take down everything - including MJ12 augmented commandos (which take at least two pistol shots to the head). It helped to use a silencer mod. So yeah, 3 dmg is deceptive.

I've yet to play Demigod and have applied for a beta key for LoL but not got one yet, so we'll see. Frankly. in terms of raw similarity to DotA, HoN is what you want. LoL and Demigod are more evolutions of the genre. It's great to see DotA spawning real games though. Reminds me of Counterstrike.

He was spot on for Oblivion. But then that's not really an RPG.

It's stable because a relatively large percentage of the economy is based on extraction of raw resources. (The Canadian Dollar is similar in this regard, although it is more tied to the USD due to the interconnectedness of the US-CAN economies.) Indeed. The Aussie dollar almost exclusively follows the direction of the price of oil. Interestingly it's always about 10 US cents lower than the CAD. I thought so too at first, but Australian exports experienced an unexpectedly large decline in that quarter causing a far higher trade deficit than expected. The 0.6% growth (Which translates to something like 3% GDP growth if it were for the year) was in spite of it (fuelled mostly by consumer and business demand, and public sector spending). Hmm. It'd certainly be nasty. Natural resources only make up 5% of GDP though, and of that China only consumes perhaps 20% of our raw commodities exports, which is nothing to sneeze at. I'm not sure what to make of it. I tend to think people overestimate the importance of Chinese appetite and commodities in general to Australia's economy.

I actually found Deus Ex combat adorable.

how do you know if its ready or not I have inside sources. Do you have those, hmm? No, so don't question me!

I'm sorry, but advertising a product is strictly forbidden on these forums. I'm going to have to report you.

So I just bought a copy of Heroes of Newerth (a self-professed DotA clone). I had the option because I'm a beta tester. I was the 23,870th beta tester to do so. It cost $30 USD. That means they've made $716,100 USD on this game already and it's not even in stores yet. Not bad eh? Also, if anybody wants an invite, I have 4 available. It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. The file is about 250 megabytes (plus maybe another 100 in patches). Despite the size, the graphics are good (way better than DotA's).

Our cat left us once. She came back a week later very hungry and decided it was best to stay.

For the sake of us all, don't release it unless it is polished.
