Humodour

I think you guys go to bed like 3 to 6 hours earlier than me, so I'll just start playing at 3pm and it should be like dinnertime for you guys, yeah? Not a problem.

Red Dwarf did this when they fell into the pit of suck and I never forgave them for it. Sheesh calm down. Red Dwarf is a comedy/satire. There are bigger things to worry about.

I disagree. I play Fallout and IE games once every year or two. They constantly keep me going combat-wise, though story and dialogue wise it sometimes gets dull because I've memorised most of it. And graphics never bothered me too much. Like, I prefer IWD1/PST/BG1 graphics to IWD2 and BG2 and NWN1. I'm totally cool with 2D isometric, even now.

He probably meant the ease of stirring up **** is like shooting fish in a barrel. Ritalin is a prescription stimulant commonly used to treat Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. It contains methylphenidate, a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, which increases the level of the dopamine neurotransmitter in the brain by partially blocking the transporters that remove it from the synapses. Hey buddy, I had a spiel typed up for you about misconceptions about ADHD, but then I figured since you're so keen on reading up on wikipedia and such, why don't I just link you to a page with some explanations? http://www.brain-dynamics.net/publications...t.jsp?PubID=717

Whatever is good. I tend to love Paladins, Amazons and Barbarians, but I'd like to try the Assassin or a Werebear. You? EDIT: Hey, you're from NZ. Excellent.

Would anybody like to start a Diablo 2 char with me? LAN, no rushing preferably, no cheating. LoD + latest patch.

My favourites were: spike stones, crushing wave, entangle, thorn spray. As you can probably tell, I loved playing druids.

Oh man, everything I've seen about Fallout 3 so far sucks. They're trying so hard make their own game as well as emulate the best attributes of the old games... but failing at doing both.

I hate you guys. You're forcing me to think about it. This is why I suspend disbelief when watching Terminator, Dr. Who, Back to the Future, etc.

Actually, if you really want to start poking at the whole concept let's look at the first movie: Event 1: Skynet has a time machine, they are losing the war. They send terminator back in time to kill JC. Event 2: Shortly after resistance wins, finds time machine and sends someone back in time to stop teminator. Why did they bother? If time did not change the instant the terminator went back it's obvious he blew it and there would be no need to save anyone. And if he did kill Conner, none of the resistance or machines would ever know about it anyway. The whole concept is a little screwy no matter how you look at it.

My initial responses: "Ew." "Meh." "Arg."

Not to spoil, but the vibe I'm getting is that there is no main terminator, hence being generic.

Really, you liked this? I guess being a teacher I'm not really well-disposed towards liking school-based fiction, but I thought it was dire and very clunky. I'm a fan of superhero stuff, so I guess that's what appealed to me. Anybody know of any other good superhero movies?

Hmmm. I'm going to try and beat you. I reckon I can if air was your only problem... :D How was exam?

I highly doubt you even know what Ritalin does. I can assure you that having ADHD does not make one appreciate WoW more. Quit ****ing using ADHD as your scapegoat and a stereotype for an overstimulated generation.

Haha. You sound like me two years ago. Manual is fun but after moving to an auto I'll just get my full license on that (since here a full license grants use of both manual and auto).

Well I spent Australia Day on Coogee beach drinking beer and body surfing. Then I went clubbing at Darling Harbour in the night. I am a bit sunburnt and tanned.

Very similar to mine. I've yet to try it in Extreme, but I imagine it'd tear up, considering how well it was doing on normal and hard. Although mine has more backtracking. Or possibly an equal amount, upon closer inspection. The key for me is to put anything less than perfect gems around (but not in) the + intersection in the middle of your maze , whilst trying to build up for good combos. Then, once you've fully upgraded your gems, and are at about level 15/20, delete the rocks in the + intersection and plonk your gems down there, ensuring that you only choose gems you can eventually combine effectively (as well as lots of perfect amethysts - which need to be in the center of the + intersection). Always opt for a perfect opal if you see one come up, too (and unless I've already got a perfect opal in the area, I tend to dislike the perfect opal combo gem - the dmg aura one, as it's less effectively than an opal, tho it certainly stacks well with one... since opals don't stack). Now, let's see if I can remember how to build it. All that sun-baking and clubbing has left me brain a bit numb.

I was actually thinking more as a player. I really enjoy my character being the source of cool stuff, and would gladly have seen even fewer magic items. The fact that the game is balanced to have characters given magic weapons of lesser bonuses at certain levels is alright, but I'd rather just not have magic weapons that boost stats. Agreed.

Mmm, this strawberry milk is good. Silly redneck bogans trying to steal an archosaurs eggs.

4400 has ups and downs. I probably wouldn't recommend it, especially since it got cancelled at the end of season 4 (cliffhanger and completely untold story). I highly recommend: Chuck - a funny drama/comedy/spy series Burn Notice - like McGyver but more awesome The Big Bang Theory (a bunch of uni nerds try to become normal) - 20 min per ep comedy. Very good shows. Reaper is also a new one. Comedy I guess. You might like it.

Trade you some ganja for tips. No? Oh well, I'll give you tips anyway: try to make the ground units enter your full maze, then leave your full maze at least once. The best way to do this is build your maze around some waypoints, but not others - meaning in order to get from point A to B they have to leave the maze, then probably re-enter it to get to C. Once you've done that, and you get to say level 15/20, focus on the middle of your maze at the + intersection. Towers here deal the most damage. Use the fact that you can click on a rock and click remove, and place down new towers here so the entire + area is flooded with towers - try to do it such that the towers you finally place at the + become combination towers. Final hint: zig-zag > columns/rows.

Hahaha. It certainly makes me eat a lot, that's for sure.

I do Inward Bound every year in Canberra (dropped in the bush at 2am, with endpoint coords given, and you figure out where you are based on straight line distance to endpoint, and landmarks nearby). Previously I've been in a 60km (we came first) and an 80km (we came 3rd) run. The 80km run was around the Snowy Mountains. So I spend about 3 months of the year getting ready of those. Otherwise I go for a 10km jog every day I'm not hungover and have a go at every second marathon run that comes up.
