  1. Quite a lot of references to Naked Lunch. Vintage Cronenberg/David Lynch in places. Making it partly comedy was a clever move. I liked it. Not meant to be fully 'understood' I think. Didn't like the ending much, but how do you wrap up something like that anyway.
  2. Isn't everything HDMI these days. My card has four I think, some ridiculous number, probably for eyefinity. I don't understand what you need a switchbox for when you are running two PC, but I'm probably stupid. Do you have just one monitor ?
  3. Celebrity deathmatch/greatest rap battles present Chomsky vs Focault on the nature of being human.
  4. Depends. If you feel that there is a way you could communicate that you are worried about her health you should do it, but it would require finesse. You have to be able to judge her reaction ahead of time. If you are really friends, then you can. I suppose that's one of the yardsticks. If you don't have that level of fingerspitzengefühl then don't try.
  5. I don't care about being tracked or datamined, everybody is a datapoint in so many seemingly inoccuous activites these days. I do care about adverts in your Oculus, that's going to suck so badly.
  6. Lots of so called 'software portals' install pups automatically, it can be pretty difficult finding a clean version if practically all the hits you get are to dirty ones.
  7. Aside from sim and exploration gameplay, what's it for ?. It's a new experience, but can developers do anything game changing with it. That actually remains to be seen. They are already reporting users have a hard time giving complex input while they are using the device, there is some kind of brain - hands - controller disconnect that slows you down, and there is still the nausia problem. I'm sure Microsoft intends to make one and make it part of Kinect. That could get dangerous though, karate chopping your way blind throuh the living room. I still want one though.
  8. I've had this problem over the years once or twice and I was never able to fix it. I'm kinda curious how to. Not particularly helpful I know.
  9. IS bink.dll in the game root dir and in windows/system. Nevermind, if it works for a while and then crashes, that can't be it.
  10. Why the hell would you watch a college girl detective TV show. Must be awesome indeed.
  11. Was gifted a copy of Theif 4. Got to the last chapter, then there was a really long plot sequence, they take place in this sortof dream world and they are mucho boring and I just could not bring myself to finish it. There are moments of good and even great level design, sneaking by completely undetected is rare and therefore very rewarding, but these moments are fleeting. Mostly, all of my negative preconceptions were confirmed. Garret doing the batman one-liners is like fingernails on a blackboard, it's hard not to wince at.
  12. It could be either hardware or software. Things to check off are; running it with the case open to eliminate heat, rolling back to an older driver version, BIOS update. In order of how much of a nuissance they are to do I would also recommend posting here http://forums.obsidian.net/forum/54-skeeters-junkyard/ where our resident tech heards are more likely to notice it. What card do you have, what temperature does it report. These will be helpful to include. It might be the game, or the game in combination with your setup in particular, does it happen with other games.
  13. Russia’s expansionist actions in Ukraine pose a real threat for Sweden, and one that could be repeated in the Baltic states, said Peter Hultqvist, chairman of the Parliamentary Defense Committee (PDC). Umm. No, not really. There is no historical claim or contested land that Russia could invade to 'protect' local Russians.
  14. I only hope it's a really nerdy one as opposed to some kind of point and click RTS affair.
  15. Tank sim, how awesome is that.
  16. What people ?. I haven't noticed anyone denying the far right presence in the interim government.
  17. One thing I've learned about RT from the Ukraine crisis is that it's like the other Fox News. Their attempts at keeping a straight face while always sticking to the script is laughable. Still, Ukrainian nationalists who want to provoke an armed conflict are the obvious suspects.
  18. Nevermind, I downloaded the wrong version.
  19. It was originally a mod for EU, the beta version is the EW-compatible (and expanded featurewise) version - the description isn't updated for the beta. Were you able to get the mod to work with mechs and supersoldiers. If I start a regular game the new features are there, but no meld. If I start an EW game there are no new features. Wasn't sure if the patch rollback was relevant anymore, I mean you NEED that for the new content don't you ?.
  20. Doesn't say if it works with Enemy within. The Exalt missions are kinda annoying, but I would'nt want to do without the mechs and supesoldiers. EDIT : actually it says it doesn't in the first sentence of the description.
  21. I generally avoid people with clipboards and a seeking expression. If it's too late try to look crazy, maybe even a hint of dangerous. My respect for the US military just upticked. Reading the other posts, if it comes down to which is more important - day or month - and you think month, then your deadlines are pretty ****ing slack. Month/Day/Year is insane. Why deliberately confuse people like that.
  22. I wish there was more xcom. I must have played the reboot 4 times now. Only complaint is that it gets both stagnant and too easy in the late stages of the campaign.
  23. I imagine a Russian flag would be just the thing to avoid being beaten to a pulp by balaklava clad gunmen. The city of Balaklava is literally just around the corner, but I was refering to the headgear.
