Libya
Actually no one is saying that it's like Vietnam, and it isn't. Except for it being a 'we are not really at war' war.

Graphics Card R.I.P.
All that still requires a water cooling cabinet right.

Libya
Military advisers. It's like Vietnam, except we would win it easy as pie. Instead we let it drag on for months on end.

Movies you've seen recently
Will Farrel is one of my favorite bad actors. The fact that he isn't even trying to act, rather just trying to be funny. It works.

What you did today
Playing ice hockey once a week is the best way to stay in shape. That's the key. Do something that's fun, otherwise you wont be doing it a couple of weeks from now when your resolve wears off.

Lead Game Designers!
Following game devs like they were rock stars. No. I have a life.

HBO's Game of Thrones
It felt pretty mundane to me, but at least they ended on a high note. The less children taking up screen time the better. I hope the puppies are next.

Network Readiness Index
Changes in the top tiers are quite minor. 1 through 10 are effectively the same.

Interview with a suicide bomber
I suppose it's not that different from people kidnapped by cults. It works by 24/7 indoctrination. Once they are free of the environment they can't help but start thinking for themselves. Many suicide bomber recruits are people who are easily swayed, have social problems etc.

HBO's Game of Thrones
Very standard fare for the setting. With the intro I sorta figured it would be steampunkish. Sean Bean just needs to be Sean Bean and the others can do all their conniving and I'll be entertained. Worth a couple of hours of my time every week anyway.

The Witcher 2
Whats wrong with a little nakidness now.

What you did today
Collectors don't like restoration projects, they want it untouched with all the marks of time on it.

HD 4800. I remember now.

Graphics Card R.I.P.
I have been getting sporatic blue screens with my HD 4500 (i think) older model anyway, but much worse than that, the fan has started howling something awful every time I go into full 3D, starting a game etc, it makes no perceptible noise with light activity, browsing, watching movies etc. My attempts to clean it out have all failed. What's the consensus on the best value if you were buying right now ?. Things like power consumption are a concern. I rarely ever turn my computer off.

The funny things thread Part 2
Looks like a sex doll for pedos

What are you playing now?
The final boss was bad, but are you seriously telling me you failed to do what the game prompts/tutorial told you to do? More like I got so irritated I gave up. Dance around, do X, do Y, do z, then for 2 second the boss is vulnerable - repeat 100 times. If you do anything in the wrong order you get nowhere.

Lionheart Nostalgia
Actually that goes for both Arcanum and Lionheart, although in Arcanum I restarted a bunch of times to get my build tolerable and had significantly more fun in the middling parts.

Lionheart Nostalgia
I had fun goofing around in starter ville, then quickly lost track of what I was doing while the difficulty curve increased exponentially. Gave up around 2/3 in. I think. Not sure since the main quest appeared broken. Definitely not a memorable experience.

What are you playing now?
Shogun total war 2. I've already beat the game as Shimazu on hard, which was quite manageable, now trying on Takeda which practically impossible. Every turn is a near disaster. No real income except from looting, the minute i try to upgrade something it get's raided, all the looting means no one wants to ally or trade, and my generals are so disloyal I have to order them to commit seppuku every other turn. It's going to end much like Kagemusha, bushwhacked in Kai province. @Hurlshot. Wait until you get at the end boss. It's not so much a fight as constantly trying and failing to figure out what it is the game want's you to do. Did anyone bother to finish that, spoil me.

Rather poignant little story
Post natal depression, spontaneous abortion, illegal immigrant maybe. Who knows.

That's not a racial slur dammit. Retard filter.

What you did today
I wish you could open up your mouse to get at the **** buildup, I mean a good one of those costs 3 or 4 times a new keyboard, but they glue them together these days.

What you did today
Ohh... heh. No. Took me a while to get it.

mp3 players quick ?
Most importantly to me though is that it has a decent power output, meaning you can plug a real headset into it and not have the volume suffer for it. I can't stand those ear plug thingies, they either start to hurt after a while or fall out.
