  1. Of course you know this means war. Krezak vs Dagon in the playground after classes.
  2. Look, it's pretty simple. None of the lotteries stack with each other or interact in their probabilities in any way whatsoever, they are each separate calculations, separate results. This is where that 'dice have no memory' thing comes in handy.
  3. Now of course if we view the course of Chuck's life as a singular event and have no result unless Chuck wins exactly four lotteries, then the odds become astronomical.
  4. I think most of us are getting there
  5. I must be a horrible comic fan because I think this sneak peek is uninteresting. I love the guy, Geof Darrow, very distinct style. Why would anyone want to stand in line to have it signed by Chris Avelone. Just sayin', they better put them by the same desk, otherwise the line by Chris is going to be very short indeed.
  6. Dice have no memory. Someone probably said that already, but it's an important lesson in remedial probability mathematics.
  7. Soooo.. snow globes. Slow news week.
  8. That's no different than most DRM schemes, including most that use CD checks.
  9. It has to do with logon information which is saved to a special file in offline mode. If it can't reach the servers the moment you go off-line it can't write the file and it does that. As long as the file was saved properly you can be offline as long as you want. Yes, it's pretty sucky.
  10. If you use a keyboard without letters it teaches you not to look at the keyboard while typing. Walsh is probably just taking a bit long in getting there. By the way I typed this without looking at the keyboard.
  11. Oral consumption of drugs also tends to be kinder on the brain, and less addictive (psychologically in this case) due to lasting longer and thus less redosing. You may want to leave off doing that with the turd - hash. Can't really explain to those who didn't get it.
  12. I didn't like Dragon age 1# that much to begin with. Nothing I hear about Dragon age 2# tells me it's going to be better. One thing they could do... get rid of the setting the, Nobles, the Knights and the Blight, and start over. It was just stupid and un-inspiring, maybe with the exception of the Dwarf cities.
  13. There was a back and forth about a particular kind of hash, and the pictures. I get why Obsidian can't have that on it's official site. It's not a problem.
  14. Try it, but don't get suckered into buying games just because they are on sale. What's with the Alpha Protocol pre order. This I do not understand. There is no physical media, and thus no reason at all to pre order and pay full price, the interest for which the publisher will have for several months... ohh there is a reason.
  15. Permanent staffers have to be payed, they aren't hired on a project basis. For every month they decide it's not quite done yet the cost accumulates.
  16. Must be absurdly high salaries and very lengthy production times. You would think it would make for better games, but no. A fitting analogy would be the Hollywood blockbuster. Rarely ever a good movie, but packed with so many stars, effects and with so much of an advertising budget it will stream roll its way to the top of the charts regardless. I wish it was as easy to make an Indie game as an Indie movie, but this is obviously not the case.

    polanski

    You just insulted all the Switzerlandians in Sweden.
  18. Well alight, that looks onside.
  19. The offside was in the previous play, if that's what it was, not in the final pass.
  20. Spain deserved the win. I also don't think I have seen as many yellows and as many missed 100% chances in one game. The goal might have been offside, from the earlier pass which was not called.
  21. He's contracted a really bad case of 'old man crazy'. No cure for it. At least he seems to be an equal opportunity racist.
  22. Well, you only have your steam games as long as there is a steam. If you have a game with an old fashioned CD check you could probably get that game to work in 10 years with a little tweaking. That's not strictly owning anything. It's more like long term borrowing. If you are really interested in a game though, I don't see the fuss. Why limit yourself.
  23. Also one of the hardest problems to address. Find out why people want to willingly lobotomise themselves and convince them that getting all "recreational" is not the best answer. Entirely anecdotal, but I've never met a susbstance user (short of tea and coffee) face to face that struck me as particularly sympathetic. Yes you have, I guarantee it. There really is a shocking amount of prejudice and assumption going on in this thread. I should feel ashamed on behalf of recreational drug users everywhere. I'm going to just settle for thinking less of you instead.
  24. I got one of these. 999 e. and then another 20% on top for duty and Danish VAT and god knows what. Ridiculously expensive, but compared with what else is available it really is a superb imput device.
