Humodour

I hope your government has told the Yanks to piss off.

That's incorrect: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROKS_Cheonan_...on_Group_report NK subs were found leaving and returning to a port in the area before and after the attack.

IMHO, this feeling happens because you play by yourself. It evaporates when you play with others.

You forgot the fact that they found an exploded NK submarine torpedo in the area of the wreckage which matched the ballistics...

Either? What, now you're admitting you haven't taken one? Besides covering lots of combinatorics in maths extension 2 for my year 12 HSC, I took the following stats courses at ANU: http://studyat.anu.edu.au/courses/STAT2001;details.html http://studyat.anu.edu.au/courses/STAT2008;details.html Why does this always come back to credentials for you Wrath? This is an Internet forum. You have no way to verify what I just posted, and we have no way to verify your claims you've gone to university. What we do have to go on, however, is a thread chock a block full of your posts containing elementary mistakes about probability.

North Korea is always threatening to bomb someone. The day they actually do it is the day they get steamrolled and the whole area becomes more peaceful. They've caused Chinas massive headaches - now they've got the US military training on their doorstep and treading all over their supposed "emerging superpower" status (which is garbage anyway - they're no more an emerging superpower than India or Brazil). And there's nothing the Chinese hate more than looking like they can't handle their own affairs. Then again, maybe if the Chinese did something about North Korea this wouldn't be happening.

That's because it is you. The whole thread has been the Obsidian Forums vs Wrath of Dagon on matters of probability from the start, and Hurlshot doesn't have to be a maths guru to be able to observe that.

It's good advice, but it's not always that easy.

I'd prefer if it didn't I think, but yes, it will. The party might be Fallout-like, though (not player controlled).

In Diablo you hold the mouse button down, you don't keep clicking. And a lot of skills were multi-target, AOE, or auto-target, so you didn't need to change targets much at all.

Blizzard games are always fine to transfer in that manner.

Got it. On as blackzorlag. Sweet, see you tonight maybe? Again, what's your timezone? I can always just add you and hope for the best, but the trouble is I'm at work 9-5 then 10-6 today and tomorrow. Free all day on the Saturday and Sunday (Aussie Sat and Sun) though!

Yes. On topic: I'm mildly amused by the fact that the first new Valve release after the much-vaunted Mac version of Steam is not available on Mac. I realise that this is due to the nature of the project, and Portal 2 is indeed supposed to be the first winmac game, but still. I intentionally keep my windows partitions tiny + the pain of rebooting to it, so I'll skip this for now, no matter how much fun it looks. You're surprised they didn't port the free, mod based niche game that they'll get no profit from to a platform that has a tiny playerbase? Right... Mac users sense of entitlement is only rivaled by their smugness There was nothing smug about his post. Yours on the other hand man... was just a tad off.

I can see why the Octopus was tentative. Once you ink a deal with the Russian Syndicate, if you mess up, you can bet you will end up swimming with the fishes. Haha, that was brilliant! It gave me a big grin.

Agreed! I think we can blame taks for that.

Here's what I did: 1) bought it from the Blizzard site) 2) downloaded it over a torrent (faster) 3) discovered the torrent version accept CD keys of a different length 4) downloaded the game again (still over torrents, but the correct digital download version with longer CD keys this time) 5) tried to patch, failed 6) downloaded the patch from Blizzard's website manually and ran it 7) played and enjoyed the game :D So to summarise: 1) if you buy the digital version, your CD key won't work with older versions of the D2 installer (most of the torrents are the older version) 2) automatic patching will always fail - download it manually here: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml...articleId=20758

It's solely to prevent spam bots. You can add a game demo or a free game to your account (Alien Swarm) and it should be fine.

I would buy an Obsidian g-string and wear it proudly.

Heathen, the latest patch is an official no-CD crack from Blizzard. http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml...articleId=24954 If you downloaded it from the Blizzard website, you shouldn't need to worry about the CD at all - just patch to 1.13 and away you go...

Do what I'm doing: don't buy Fallout 3, buy Fallout: New Vegas.

I dunno buddy - first we should sort out timezones. Right now (check forum time for this post) it is 5:30pm. I'm about to get off work, hit the pub with my boss, then crash thoroughly in bed as I have had 2 hours sleep - bloody insomnia. What country and state do you live in? It's nearly 1am in California and nearly 9am in London.

I think the real gem of this thread is that Dagon is convinced God is fiddling with the lottery results.

Dungeon Siege did the loot system correctly but totally screw up the attribute/mod side of things. The weapons and armour had utterly boring and often horrible mods. Mechanically, nothing was wrong with the system, but the items weren't anywhere near as exciting of those found in Diablo 2, from memory. Look at D2: piercing shots, crushing blow, deadly strike (double damage), poison damage over time, open wounds (another DOT), chance to cast static field (AOE crushing blow via lightning dmg), +defence based on level, +damage based on level, +MAX resist, % physical resist, absolute (not percent) physical and magical resist, damage ABSORB (resists then heals)... these are just examples, and I'm sure Obsidian can think up plenty more!

*sigh* *sigh*

You can't change your realm...?! You won't be able to use that character or account on USWest but you can always change your realm/gateway to USWest on the Diablo 2 main screen where you select between Single Player and Multiplayer. I'd play on Europe guys but lag for us Aussie/NZ'ers is between 500-1000ms. USWest is only 200-300ms. I'm still open to hardcore but softcore is ok to.
