Scary or unexplainable things that have happened to you
My mother once told me how she thought she was haunted by a poltergeist because the pantry started to make the most infernal noise in the dead of night and there was this sense of a presence there with her. This was in Sweden out in the middle of forested nowere, there is a lot of that in Sweden, and she was alone in the house when it happened. She didn't investigate or anything she just drove off terrified. I dunno, to me pots and pans making noise is just pots and pans making noise, eminently explainable by my mother being easily spooked and physics, gust of wind, something placed precariously etc. so I guess I'm with mkreku, but sure you can believe whatever you like if it makes your life more exciting.

Actually I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Every lethal illness has it's last stages, and trying just for the sake of medicine to prolong life indefinitely would be a much worse policy. As long as the patient is lucid, however, he or she should have a say in the matter.

The New Classics
What I don't understand is why the consoles don't all offer mouse support. Technically it wouldn't pose any problems. I guess it's somehow contrary to their design philosophy, and the ease of use factor. They don't want the most precise input device available currently, and that's why I can't take them seriously.

But... you can't aim with a controller. Well, you can, but why would you want to ?

Contradiction in terms. Or maybe it's more like being the worlds smartest horse. Pretty smart for a horse, but it fails when compared to human intelligence.

I guess maybe unreal tourney 2004, that would be 5 years old, and still going strong with lots of servers and a modding community.

It looked too cartoony, so I never bothered.

I dunno, maybe there haven't been any classics in the last 5 years.

FO:NV
I'm playing FO3 again with the dlc adons. I forgot how crappy the pipboy map is, it doesn't show what level you are on so you constantly get lost. If you are in a building with several stories it's almost completely useless. This should either be fixed or compensated for by making the interior areas less complicated. It seems like a small thing, but It really does get in the way of your enjoyment of the game.

Reactions
I dunno, 10 and 12 is awfully early to give up on two kids. You would think it still possible to turn them around. psychopaths and sociopaths know what the concept of empathy is, they just don't have any. Kids this young however, can maybe still learn.

Does your wife know about that, you better get ahead of the situation before she starts asking why it burns while she pees.

I got nothing. Nothing even remotely supernatural ever happened to me.

What are you playing now
I'm playing through Fallout 3 again because of operation anchorage and the Pitts. I have to say Anchorage was a disappointment though. Also with the new patches and the new level cap Dogmeat is invincible. Not even 3 deathclaws can hope to take him down more than 50% health (i'm level 12 now) I just sent him home to vault 101 because he was tanking everything so successfully it left me with nothing to do.

Need help for buying Magic the gathering decks
I don't know much about the game, but I was rather amazed at the prices for some of these 'unique' cards. The turnover must be better than cocaine, and all you need is a laser printer and a laminator.

Toyota's New Robot Runs Like a Human
The framework for this project, called I-SWARM (intelligent small-world autonomous robots for micro-manipulation) Ok people, your task today is to come up with a compound noun that forms s.w.a.r.m. as an acronym. Looks interesting though.

Does every damn post have to be an in depth analysis. A cadre of buxom bodyguards is worth mentioning for its own sake.

Khadafi wants to avoid sanctions and not be known mostly for harboring terrorists. He is not any kind of Islamic extremist, more just plain crazy. He survived two US bombing runs on his house and has an elite palace guard consisting entirely of buxom young women. That last part is always worth a giggle.

I think it's entirely possible that this was part of the price for getting Khadafi on 'our team'.

CPU Cooler for E8400
Appreciate the info, I might possibly be too technically inept for it to be of any use, we'll see once I have the replacement cooler.

Star Trek online
Oblivion was good for one playthrough, still plenty of boring places, like the oblivion gates. Shivering Isles was much better.

North Korea: Great Country, or Greatest Country?
Bizzare. He gets ferried around an industrial wasteland with no cars and few people and taken to 'see the sights' by the official handlers. At one point he plays ping pong and snooker with a giggling ginsing tea salesgirl at one of the venues, she hasen't seen a customer in months.
