  1. I do not like ? failure.
  2. Hey it's better than throwing all those Ipads out. At least now they serve a purpose.
  3. They are writing in stuff from the appendix. Maybe stuff about Gandalf and Aragorns first encounter with Gollum, that would be cool, and whatshisname, the man bear pig from he hobbit. I wonder how much they are going to make of him. I mean they did write out Tom Bombadil.
  4. black border. hmm. A resolution issue perhaps, it's an old game, or a driver issue for the same reason - legacy function is not always perfect. If it crashes as its about to launch the opening cinematic a missing third party dll.
  5. Why use https in your shared public folder though. I don't use facebook or twitter that much, don't really care how beautifully integrated it is there.
  6. It kinda lacks a big event. I mean a lot of whoopla goes into it, but I don't really care who can jump the farthest or run the fastest. Where's the tactics in that. It has propper sports, but they are usually dwarfed by their own lagues.
  7. They did rather conveniently avoid having the heroine kill a 12 year old girl. Now that would have been a real moral dilemma, rather than the imagined ones they stuck to.
  8. https://www.dropbox.... 17.34.47.jpg?m Forum does not like dropbox I see. Or more likely they didn't spring for 'real' direct links. You have to be logged into face or twitter. Anyway this was on my street door when I came home. Kinda old joke. Someone still hasn't finished season 1.
  9. The sad thing about that is that it started out pretty good, then the dialouge got increasingly cheesy to the point where it started hurting the movie. The death blow was the retired crew of some famous pacific theater battleship showing up out of nowhere to the beat aliens with their low tech oldtimer knowhow. If I spoiled you i did you a massive favor.
  10. It's text messages. So yes, it's different from being approached by horny guys in real life.
  11. I love how the video starts with a montage of people looking at her arse. Other than that, yes it's probably momentously annoying being the constant object off attention from horny guys. I can't even imagine. Appart from that we are talking about games. You know, you can't actually SEE the other person, much less his or her arse.
  12. At the risk of incurring their wroth I would agree. Women tend to be masterful at the wounded bird act, instantly drawing sympathy and allies from all sides.
  13. Are The Expendables super heroes? Netflix had a lot of the Hellraiser films on instant, so I watched the first three again. Y'know, I loved those movies back when. Sure they weren't much, even for low-budget horror, but that Pinhead was awesome, and in those years, the effects were still kinda gross, if y'know what I mean. But seeing them again now....they have not aged well. At all. Except, Pinhead is still awesome. Edit: I read that they kept hoping to reboot the Hellraiser franchise. Which might not be an awful idea, except that I can't see anybody but Doug Bradley as Pinhead. They've already made 30 or so sequels for even less money seeking to trade in on name recognition. Are people really going to believe that the next Hellraiser will be good. Regardless of how much money they pump into it,
  14. yeah that's 2500 obviously, not 25000
  15. Thel sound dampeners thingies that let you hear your instrument clearly used by professional musicians will run you close to 25.000 Euro and they bear no resemblance to what is avaiable on consumer level. In ear sound is good - untill you compare with large stereo headphones.
  16. I've got a pair that fit just fine, 'In ear' is so you can distinguish them from the pieces of **** you get free every time you get a portable device. They don't actually function any different, just have a better mold that makes it wearable for extended periods. The hardware is still tiny though, so forget about decent bass.
  17. While were at it. Does anyone have experience with bluetooth headphones. Earplugs are nice but even the best of them can't deliver that deep bass that adds so much more to the listening experience. Using a big Hi Fi set with an adaptor and 2 meters of cable is just not very practical. The ones I have seen are all small devices, meant to be handy, not provide the best sound - for that you still need size, there is just no way around it.
  18. I don't. This art looks like something people were making back in 2001. Even though this means looking like actual original art. Like that Da Vinci guy - wow that Renaissance art sucked. Well he 'cheated', fine for a comuter game I suppose, but the sky and the geometry are curtesy of a 3d program. I prefer one or the other. Give me a tarted up engine render of the or a 100% line drawing. Traces of editing software and the process in the final result bother me for some reason.
  19. I don't know if looking like a complete retard is worth the extra battery life. Of course you could have it in your bag, but what's the point the arm strap then, and why go through all that when you can just as easily pack an extra battery, or this. It's basically just a big battery that works like a charging station for anything that can be charged by USB http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/eb7b/ The biggest mugen promises x2 and then some battery life, and judging from reviews that's almost what you get IRL, so I might be buying that. Although I'd have to import, and that means it would have to be from a vendor I know can get the logistics done. I was impressed with Amazon, not sure how well something like Newegg carries in scandinavia. local stores don't seem to have any.
  20. I wish there was a horizontal screen mode though. You have to chose between automatic, which is not as handy as it sounds - video streams get buggered if you accidentally tilt the thing, and vertical. It kinda feels like a little gamepad so you want to hold it horizontally and the keyboard is bigger that way too but the OS only has horizontal orientaton for certain menus, not the destop for instance.
  21. Newspapers get all their photos from online auction services, there aren't many staff photographers left and everybody's got a camera phone. It makes sense that the uploaders migth photoshop something up to make it more marketable. Doesn't necessarily have any bearing on the professionalism of the journalist. There is software available that can detect a certain level of pixel manipulation though. I guess they didn't bother.
  22. 1.4 mhz quad core, larger screen, comes with a crappy battery. I don't know why they thought having the thing as thin as a piece of paper is preferable to more battery life, but that seems to be the thought on smartphones. 5 hrs of heavy usage is about as much as you get out of any of them.
  23. How is that Mugen battery working out in the real world ?
  24. Does anyone know if you can get a dock that will let you charge a battery on its own, not just the phone. I have about 5hrs of continuous use on my Samsung s3 and I'm always worried I'm going to run out. It would be nice to be able to pocket a fully charged battery for a long trip with no sockets.
  25. sounds more like a minor inconvenience, hardly anything meriting the word 'harassment'. Still, possibly enough to turn one off the game. It's probably why I don't play MMOs anymore. Too many people that annoy me.
