That's fundamentally different from the current scenario of rampant piracy how? You only pay for games if you feel morally obliged to. Companies can control access by actively spoofing pirated copies, and bringing lawsuits against repeat offenders. Also not everyone has the internet connection to download 4-6 gb disk images that often. Obviously these things have an effect on availability or they wouldn't do it. It's not a free for all, especially if you live on campus, or at your parent's, and could get in serious trouble as a result of one of those warning letters.

I wish you could pick and chose what the context menu contains. Sometimes programs install all kinds of unnecessary stuff there. I guess that would be too sensible for windows.

'Studies show'

Well that cleared it up. It's doing what it's supposed to now.

Every game has DRM, that's not the issue, if it didn't publishers would put out a game and merely beg people to pay them. I wouldn't want my wages based on that concept. The problem is the three installs limit. I'm not going to pay full price for a crappy deal like that.

Not that long ago

It's funny how leaders become posthumously loved, like in the US president Reagan can walk on water and shoot lighting balls out of his eyes, a good 30 years after they had to contend with him as president that is. I suspect the same is happening with Blair. Both our prez and the leading opposition contender are slick mini Blairs. I bloody hate em.

Sins of a Solar Empire. Gothic 3, for about 2 more minutes. Painkiller. Stalker - Shadow of Chernobyl.

Now all you need is something to smoke in them.

It's like that 80s porn where all the guys only have half stiffies because fully erect wangs would make it unsellable in several countries.

I know the feeling. Amazon UK is your best bet for speed and inventory size. I bough a few books there. They certainly deliver to DK, although shipping costs means you probably have to buy more than one item and bundle them for it to make sense.

The heat is generated by wasted energy, but more heat as a result of poor dispersal doesn't mean you pull more power out of the socket. Does it ?.

So I gave the game a decent chance, played it for over 7 hours last night. And guess what, the combat mechanics are borked, as in they do not work. Whether you are on easy, medium or high difficulty there are only two options for winning a fight. 1. Shoot them at range with a bow, and run when they get close (safest) 2. Nibble at their shins with your weakest fastest attack to interrupt them. If you don't, they will, and you will be dead in a matter of seconds. I'm trying to scrounge up enough XP to buy the shield block skill, but I'm not holding out much hope that it will stop interrupts. So far, frantic button mashing presents the only hope of winning a fight with a sword.

Ahh, missed that

I have one more, inability to map controls like you want them. I don't understand the benefit of inverted mouse setting, left to go left up, up, down is down, whats so hard about that One think I have never gotten used to is using WASD for movement, and mapping all the important keys around them. How hard can it be from a development standpoint to include key mapping.

I surmise the fans make up an insignificant portion of the power usage. Board, CPU, peripherals take up the vast majority. Hell you can power one of those small case fans with a 12 volt battery. If you run the computer that long you might even want to underclock the CPU, and make it go into power saving mode sooner. Most important is matching the PSU to the needs of your computer, ensuring it's average output is cost effective.

In Hard Boiled there is this one triad soldier who looks like a Chines James Brown and cool like that. He get's it after his gun goes click. Chow Yun Fat's gun never runs out of ammo, although he reloads once in a while to provide a closeup.

Also, what self respecting international man of mystery would go to Sweden.

Well that's that then, plausible deniability, suspension of disbelief is saved. It's Miller time !

Woke up, slept another hour, did my laundry, watched The Prestige It's about two competing magicians, slept another two hours. Sufed, posted.

Usually you only get the offer if you are already on the planned dig route for the wiring. I'm writing for the benefit of people living in houses, big cities almost always have fiber. If you don't live in Uganda that is. Installation costs are included in the subscription.

Why do unskipable sequences still exist, and why are they so prevalent. It is the cardinal sin of game design. It's right up there with the secrets of the pyramids and the success of marmite.
