  1. Well, time is ultimately an expression of the expansion of the universe since the big bang. If the story must have a beginning it's in whatever caused it.
  2. But Dim Sum would be bad without a side of rice. Not so CRPGS
  3. What do I believe in, nothing yet. Still waiting to be disproved. I really do hope I am.
  4. Personally I think STEAM has an unrealistic idea of how prices are maintained. I'm not going to pay half the price of a new game for something that's 10 years old unless it's something I really want. I like their collection of older games, but I would rather go bargain bin hunting at those prices. I also dislike all the sales. Makes me think I'm getting shafted if I buy anything at full price. I'll be getting FO NV but other than that I'm falling out of love with STEAM. Also, who is ever going to pay 49.99 for Caine and Lynch 2.
  5. Well in order to get it to work you emulate a crappy old computer on a DOSbox, If there was no computer back then capable of attaining a decent frame rate (quite possible) then it's not going to make a difference.
  6. Do you mean Torment, because that was never a problem with other EI games. There is fix out for the torment AOE spell effect bug on newer machines. Getting it to work takes installing the game and then a couple of mandatory mods and fixes on top of it.
  7. Why bother, you can get them all in one DVD pack with nothing more nefarious than a CD check.
  8. Seems to me that abuse of power is more important than whether or not he is a nice guy with kids and a mortgage. It's still off with the head on principle.

    Wow, another youtube time warp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8QaS5BR5Js...feature=related
  11. I'm not serious. I just don't think you have to be a parent to have an opinion about parenting. It's like when people go 'it's a black thing, you don't understand'. In other words, I belong to an exclusive group and you can't play because you don't belong. I on the other hand have the weight of experience. The thing is, while it may be true, it's not a real argument. It's grandstanding.
  12. Well, excuse the hell out of me for not being good enough to reply to your thread. *Cough*douchebag*Cough*
  13. One of my sisters says she was 14 when she lost her virginity, I'm sure that kind of thing is a lot more common now than it used to be. I understand why fathers are over protective and I'm not going to argue that they shouldn't, that would be futile. I will suggest however that you can't shield your kids from life forever, and that trying to is likely to drive you further apart than the default distance for a teenage rebellion.
  14. Looks like the exoskeleton in STALKER
  15. Depends on how old the daughter is doesn't it.
  16. I am a figure of authority. I greatly respect myself. But authority isn't inherently good or bad, and certainly shouldn't be respected for itself. That's how people end up playing along with Totalitarianism. Here is a clear case of authority used for wrong, and you don't seem to care. I dunno, can you picture yourself heiling along with the crowd. (this would be one of them rhetorical questions)
  17. You have way too much respect for authority Hurlshot.
  18. So this little family drama is more interesting to you than abuse of power, which the officer is quite evidently guilty of. He is not supposed to arrest anyone without a warrant, this is pretty basic stuff. The boyfriend was obviously young and impressionable and unable to tell it was a charade, it must have seemed quite Kafkaesque.
  19. It's not uncommon for bands to leak their albums early on PTP networks to create a buzz. We are talking about bands whose main interest is to get noticed of course. Right now the prime add space on The Pirate Bay is a plug for a free download album. It's perfectly legal, but the site providing the PR isn't. The top 100 music downloads on the same site reads pretty much exactly like a billboard chart though, so I don't know how genuine the notion of them being a grassroots launch platform for unknown acts is.
  20. They look like peacemakers.
  21. Free speech : good. Doesn't seem like it to me.
  22. It's not really the practice itself, it's the ease of it. Anyone who got moral convulsions back in the day about making mix tapes and giving them to your friends raise their hands.
  23. Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. I'm with the whiners all the way-
