  1. I forsee Oby being strangely absent for this part.
  2. You mean the Finish air force just happenes to have a Swastika design, or not as it were, purely by accident.
  3. How do you call this a terrorist attack anyway. I'm curious. I mean possibly it was politically motivated, but this is a murder. Also, apparently you can't ask trolls not to be trolls. Not even for 5 minuites to show a little goddamn respect.
  4. The formation of the Finish SS division was a demand from Hitler, a result of a desperate peace deal because the Russians weren't going to back down from their territorial expansion. They are possibly the only SS division not linked to war crimes and by all accounts aquitted themselves well, so regular people showing up to cheer on an SS flag. It's not quite as perverse as it appears at first glance. To their eyes these soldiers helped preserve Finland by being Hitler's mercenaries on the Eastern front.
  5. You know there is a formula for making stairs that aren't murder to navigate. I think it's a factor of 1 to 2 vertical incline to horiziontal distance, I'm not an architect. The steps should be just over a foot lengthwise. My knees hurt when I bike but it's not so bad if I stand up. Turns out you wear off cartillage and it doesn't always come back. Just wonderful.
  6. Sony is back in the black for the first time in ages and the Japanese economy is officially out of recession. Remember they said that about several Eurozone countries and they fell right back in, but the Japanese government seems to be ready to borrow any ammount of money to keep the stimulus going.
  7. Your TV, that you hook up your X Box to is already.... a TV.
  8. hahahaa. Man did they manage to be uncool.
  9. Internet connections aren't 'always online'. Whenever our ISP screws something up it usually involves 2-3 days with no connectivity, it only gets worse way out in the sticks.
  10. Definitely staged tho
  11. Yeah that should have been in another thread.
  12. I think my list would differ seasonally. I also think making a top ten makes about as much sense as the Eurovision song contest. There is no objective criteria for excellence.
  13. PS is still the one stop for photo editing. I could care less about their other products. Flash is destined to die out anyway as HTML takes over video functionality. It wasn't excellent when I last tried it, but that was a long time ago, maybe I should again.
  14. Torchlight hit the right balance I think. An upgrade of your most powerful set of pistolas happened about 4-5 times total and there were rares that you could use throughout the game because the effects stacked with others of the same kind.
  15. Ahh, level requirements for equipment was what made me lose interest in Borderlands. Every time you get something good it's obsolete 5 mins later. Completely takes away the excitement of a rare drop. You have to wait untill you have more or less finished the game before you can really start playing it and be able to keep what you find. That's just stupid.
  16. It has virtual dollars bought with real ones ?. Not interested. It more or less automatically means that the non checkbook assisted playthough will be extremely grind heavy. I have only seen two screenshots but it feels like I played it obsessively for months and finally got disgusted with it and uninstalled. Saves me some time anyway.
  17. Looks like you don't even need a logon anymore. They are posting serial numbers and treating it as abandonware. Not a whole lot has happened to the core functionalities of PS since then though. http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/ Anyway if you are morally disinclined to use their software then good luck with GIMP.
  18. Photoshop CS 2 is free for download with an Adobe logon. That would be my first stop.
  19. Bought some vintage nikes at a swapmeet, went to my sisters wedding, got so drunk I had trouble not falling off my bike on the way home. No pretty ladies in my bed unfortunately.
  20. We should totally do that to the Swedes.
  21. I'm thinking Lions, plural, with spears. The Masai have been doing that for so long it's said lions have developed a genetically conditioned response to the way the Masai run. You are a man when you spear one and make charm out of its incisors.
  22. The ludicrous prestige card from Nvidia (Titan or Goliath or something) can be powered with 250w if memory serves. Not that it will ever pay for itsef in power savings, but it's the first time ever that I remember that a more powerful card had a massively reduced power draw. That IS pretty cool.
  23. I don't know if there is a condition where one obsessively generalises about countries, if there is Oby is patient zero. I don't think I have ever seen a post of his not related in some way.
  24. It's almost always about teenagers and sexual and emotional tension. It's a formula that works both on teenagers and on older people wanting to relive their high school days.
  25. I heard game wardens have started injecting their horns with poison. Small enough doses to that it doesn't affect the animal. might be a good solution if you could ensure it was done to every animal the demand would go down to nothing.
