  1. Looks like feminist propaganda in the guise of Irony.
  2. Whats the story here US warship near pirate boat....
  3. I didn't need to run away, my parents were divorced and both vying for my attention trying to prove who was the better more responsible parent. Much easier to play them against each other to get what I wanted.
  4. By the way was that the gimp from little Britain.
  5. and the flaming sword... of fire.
  6. One thing still holds true, the more you pay the less you get. Look for a workhorse processor and board that should last you 2-4 years or so. Not smart trying to plan ahead longer than that.

    Dictionary of Advanced Japanese Grammar. It's riveting stuff.
  8. Well, I have been working at Gallup doing TV and Radio rating interviews the last year and a half, so I suppose I'm suave on the phone, no telemarketing experience as such though.

    The UN is only as good as the members unfortunately. When has the whole world (practically) ever agreed on anything.
  10. The woman and the girl return to haunt their own house a la The Others.
  11. I heartily endorse this event or product. Will you leave us alone now.
  12. Ignore Gorgon and get this: http://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/showt...d.php?p=8871228 It's 880 MB, but it's worth it. Not only will you get an insane performance increase, the badly broken combat actually works now. But be warned: if you're used to games like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic or equivalent, this game is not for you. There's no hand-holding, you WILL die a horrible death a hundred times and you WILL fail quests. Yes, it's actually possible to fail stuff in the Gothic games, unlike anything produced in the US for the last ten years. It's a very difficult game. But if you enjoy a living, breathing, absolutely massive world with no loading times, lots of combat, quests, treasures and three different story lines (you can only finish one per playthrough), you'll have a blast. I am currently replaying Gothic 3 with the community patch 1.7 and it's a great game now. Just make sure you turn on the Alternative balancing and the new AI and you're set to go. Too bad I binned the game in disgust. Would have liked to try a playable version.
  13. Gothic 3 will drive you insane. It's almost a game, only they released it with broken combat mechanics. Basically you interrupt and disable your opponent with your weakest most feeble sword chop to keep him from doing it to you. You will never use any other attack. 200 interrupts later and the opponent either dies of blood loss or your finger cramps up and you lose.

    They should have made it so action points for use in VATs took much longer to regenerate. That way you would be fighting real time most of the time, and VATs would be like a strategic aimed shot you could pull out of your arse one or two times in an average encounter. All bullet time all the time gets old pretty fast. It's a strange relic from turn based combat, only they decided to skip enemy turns altogether.
  15. Linky no worky
  16. That goes for everything, except The Benny Hill Show.
  17. "OMG my house burned to the ground !!! ...oh wait, I hear yakety sak, now it's funny!!!!"
  18. Stuck in a clipping error and no saves. Gotta love it.
  19. You mean the class restricion immune chain. NWN2 - gliding orcs That rubber banding is all over the game, don't ask me why but the AI seems exceedingly interested in where everyone is in relative distance to each other, if it's too far it tugs everyone back.

    These guys are so inept the Japanese had to deploy patriot missiles out of fear debris would hit a city.
  21. I know a good job here in Copenhagen, where you can work half time and get a good salary.. it's Telemarketing, but it's a cool company and the product is very solid (so you don't feel like an idiot trying to sell it). I'm definitely going to be interested in a couple of months when the exams are done. Do they do any coaching on site.

    I'd wager the whole thing is kept together with fear, secret police and crude but universally present propaganda. Sort of a Robespierre/Stazi approach to keeping the populace in line. Did you hear that weird story about how they kidnapped Japanese, Chinese and Thai nationals back in the 80s to train their own agents in blending in and appearing normal. Apparently their knowledge about how the rest of the world thinks is extremely limited.
  23. Ubuntu is pretty clunky in some aspects, for instance it seems to get the standard web page layout wrong often, although that is not really the fault of the OS at all. Just logging in to these boards and some text is so minuscule it can't be read, other sections appear enormous. By the way do I need software firewalls and anti virus and the like.
  24. So the 32 bit version installed without a hitch, although I did cramp up a bit when it got to the partitioning screen, as suspected all I could see was a section of my HDD marked as 'existing partition' I couldn't do anything with it. I selected 'assisted mode' and 'use free space' because I had no real idea what the best parameters would be. After rebooting into windows it appears that Ubuntu took most of the free space from my spare partition and resized the rest, so now I have a 3 gig partition and my standard C drive. Curiously, every time I boot into ubuntu I have to reset the monitor refresh rate, then upon reboot it spawns a 'signal out of range' message. Another reboot takes care of that. Hickups are to be expected I suppose. At least now I have a working Danish keyboard, which windows had somehow screwed up.
  25. Calling moving van...
