  1. I forgot how hard FO2 is. I have been running around for months in game time (rest untill fully healed) and I don't even have a gun. Can't buy one because I have low barter skill, so I have been running around the world map to see if I could find one lying around. I think the main quest eventually times out and my tribe dies of starvation, can't be long now.
  2. Ice T actuallly was pretty good before he became an actor/rapper, just IMHO.
  3. Yes, yes, I'm sure they are very manly. What I'm wondering is why the focos on the fact that a particular **** happens to be rapper. To me at least the pertinent detail is ****, and the insignificant one is rapper.
  4. Inspired by this thread, and by the fact that it's probably the only thing that will run on my crappy new laptop, I decided to steam FO2. Are mele characters worth playing ?
  5. The chosen one spoke of in the propechy. When you think about it it's really strange Worthington doesn't also have amnesia.
  6. Lol. A Danish resercher who posited much the same theory says he has been professionally ostracised and that the reserch cost him his career. I don't know anything about the merits or otherwise of his work though.
  7. but it's nice, you can use the 'puter while resting. Now all I need is a catheter and I'll never have to leave my bed.
  8. Some animals are tastly, some are not, others have been useful to us and we have struck a bargain with them, Cats and dogs for instance, horses, etc.
  9. The thing came with vista OEM, does anyone know how you move the cursor using the arrow keys, there is a way I think. I can't stand that pad thingie, it's messing up my fingers.
  10. And theres the fact that if you actually studied it and came up with a genetic variation favoring whitey you would also flush your career down the toilet. The reason not to bother with race as regards intellectual capacity is that there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. You can do something about child rearing and education however.
  11. Isn't Fallout 256 colours. It looks really awful. Not that I'm a graphics whore, but I do have a bare minimum.
  12. Not a bad idea actually.
  13. I don't know if we should assume China would intervene. North Korea is a trainwreck, maybe they have had enough.
  14. They are clearly the T 1000s of the series. Smarter, stronger, able to reform from a puddle of liquid metal.
  15. It's a HP 550. 2 gig celeron (I didn't know they still made those) 3 gigs of ram. Integrated intel graphics, Intel GMA X3100. Shares ram with the system, has none of it's own, in other worlds it's not a graphics card at all, but a cheap workaround. What do you think a thing like that could run. Does video and 2d functions well enough, I figure it could run 4-5 year old games as well. What about FO3. If i recall the engine was very forgiving on the system, you think it could run that. Supposedly it runs WOW just fine.
  16. I'm going to see it again tomorrow. Do they have clips for people with glasses for the 3d thing, I mean I don't know where I would stick an extra pair on my head.
  17. I should stress unequivocally that I hate all things cute and cuddly, especially in movies. There are some exceptions, but I could count those on one hand.
  18. What does their success or otherwise of the company have to do with one of their movies. Are we back to equating business success with quality, I thought we already agreed that that was stupid. I Saw Toy story years ago and fell asleep. I suppose it's possible it might be good, all I know is the seat was comfortable.
  19. "Studies have found that violent video games are a much bigger negative influence on kids," Mr Jeremy said. Why do i get the feeling whenever people say things like 'studies show' half they time they made it up on the spot. I can't think of any main stream games with pornographic content at all. Games are supposedly full of violence, and on the other hand sex might be problematic for the kids who think there is much in common with what people actually get up to between the sheets and the circus act that is porn.
  20. Actually I don't remember anything about Toy Story, maybe it was a bad example. The point being that 100% CGI rarely works out.
  21. So, people at large think Avatar is better than Blade Runner or Ghost in the Shell. Well that settles it, people really are idiots. The evidence is undeniable.
  22. The book, that would be Heart of Darkness is also about colonialism, and unlike Avatar it actually tries to examine what goes on inside the heads of the colonialists. It didn't care one whit about the 'noble savages' though, but that's Conrad for you.
  23. Yes, 'fine', not 'good'. A good bad movie. Star wars also had, I dunno a certain charm that just isn't found in 100% CGI. Avatar did much better than the usual soullessness you find in Toy story/Final fantasy type movies, but there was still too much face time with dorky looking cat people, exacerbated by the fact that you didn't care whether they lived or died. Watching the tree burning scene just reminded me of how much better Apocalypse now was, more than anything I just wished they would get on with it and wipe out the whiny tree huggers.
  24. You sure about that, all I saw were a bunch of poorly connected clich
  25. And I'm alone in thinking a movie can't work without a story ?. This is pretty basic stuff, I don't know what to say to that.
