  1. Why are we using spoiler tags ? I mean if you don't want to know about BSG you could for instance not read a thread called BSG
  2. the poor and the stupid have more babies than the rich and the smart, statistically. I don't see much hope for this approach. We need all the geek children we are going to get, who else is going to design the fission reactors. Anyway I tire of this mother earth crap where the bad bad humans are always separate from nature rather than what seems most logical -, the most successful players in it.
  3. A while I heard an loud bang as I accidentally yanked the monitor connector out of the graphics card connector while the power was on. The box shut down and I though that was that, the computer must be fried. There was even a visible scorch mark and the smell of burnt plastic. Oddest thing is it started up as if nothing had happened. It shouldn't be possible to create a short that way at all, which only ads to the mystery.
  4. Alright you got my vote for going in there an kicking the generals out.
  5. Since this is a spy game they should steal from hitman where you can use an enemy as hostage/cover. Something tells me you are not going to be able to go full Jack Bauer and torture or execute everyone you meet.
  6. This is one of those games that friends of mine are wild about, and I can't fathom the reason Why. I liked the voice acting and humor for some of the missions in San Andreas, but fantastic, hardly. Least of all when you are in a gun battle on foot, and the ammo and weapon pickups are giant man sized swirly things. Another thing is that you shoot with a mouse. You can drive with a gamepad that works well, but shoot. Doesn't work.
  7. You are becoming drowsy, your eyelids feel heavy as you feel a friendly presence in your mind. You feel compelled to comply with whatever it tells you. Give your rebates to Gorgon it says.
  8. yes, but that doesn't work very well because the free camera pan is at blinding speed and there is no way to lower it without also lowering mouse speed to a crawl.
  9. I believe that basically noone knows anything. Obsidian is working on implementing the DRM thing into a patch, but we don't know whether it will make it in 1.13 (which shouldn't be much longer I think) or a later one. Would be nice if they could replace the patch mess with just one integrated patch in Westgate. I just tried reinstalling NWN 2 and mask of the betrayer. Apparently you have to do that in a special order, I upgraded after installing NWN, then installed Mask and autoupdated some more. The camera improvements aren't there, but the game version looks correct. Why no one thought of using the right mouse button to pan the camera is beyond me. Instead there is a useless drop down menu, but thats another matter.
  10. When is westgate comming out, anyone in the loop ?
  11. They lied when they said Kara was 'really dead'. No reason Olmos' contract can't be one too.
  12. Helo is definately more pretty face than actor, seems to be the rule for all the pilots in the show.
  13. Maybe she will provide the cylon surprise
  14. I get his point though, the miniseries and doubleheaders, flight of the phoenix, res ship, worked so much better because they weren't so concerned with cramming everything down to 30 mins. You feel it, as in the cylon civil war, which is done in 5 mins and needed more. The constant cliffhangers might sell more ad space, but they are annoying as hell. Every time you think something is going to happen you realize that theres only 5 mins left and nothing much is going to happen after all.
  15. This is the intarweb, don't take anything personal.
  16. It has to do with the filter and there being no delete button.
  17. I remember my sex ed classes. It was every bit as hilarious and embarrassing as the 'talk' with my parents. Except they, thank the gods, didn't have a d.ildo on a wooden stand for demonstration. I have a feeling some things haven't changed, and that kids just figure these things out themselves, and make the same mistakes they always have.
  18. Vampires have their own language apparently. Or it\s supposed to be Greenlandish.
  19. What they really fear is that their indoctrination of the population to religious autocracy is undermined by the mixed messages of consumer society. Buying an Ipod or a porshe is a statement of identity, just as faithfully attending mosque is. In this view, Barbie of all things can be revolutionary. It can seduce kids and make them forget that they are supposed to be god fearing and accept the official ideology.
  20. Hah, there is of course not a damn thing they can do about the dispersal of American cultural imperialism into every home with a satellite dish. They have named the enemy, but mind control is notoriously difficult in a completely media saturated world.
