Thanks for your support. It means so much to me.

I'll be getting these if I can find them. The CD swapping I really hate. They are going to be a collector's item in a few years, too...

Maybe something got corrupted, try reinstalling. Or maybe your graphics card is overheating; do you have similar problems with any other games? With that hardware, you shouldn't have that kind of problems. Also, it seems you're playing at a very low res. Any particular reason?

Nah, that's just my excuse for trolling.

Then why do you play along?

Yeah, level design is definitely one of the strong points of the franchise. Don't rely too much on the demo for an impression of the mechanics of the game. It's the amusement park level, right? It's a tutorial of sorts in the full game. I found it to be pretty unsophisticated, allowing only for one way around obstacles which often involved dispensing rather hefty doses of lead. In the rest of the levels you are still able to keep the body count to just the target.

Con art?

Heh. No idea how long it is, yet. I'm on the fifth stage and missions seem to have a similar complexity to those of Contracts/Silent Assassin. The game actually has a plot, so I'm hoping it'll last more than Contracts did.

Not worth the effort, I think. Are they even from the same country?

No, more like advertising a working laptop with 2Gb RAM when it actually has only 512Mb, and in fact, doesn't work...

I'm pretty uninformed myself, and therefore rather skeptical. So I'd like to know these facts you talk about, and how they contradict Edwards. Pretty please? Being hungover isn't a valid excuse. You started it. Yeah, yeah. I just miss the good ol' times when everyone could freely edit their posts without everyone being informed.

I'd say... 30-40+ hours. "

What do you mean, illegal? Like, say, advertising something that has nothing to do with the sold product? Oh, my!

Hmm... Clarify. PS. I saw you edit your post, Mr. "no-edit-notice".

Hades just loves attention. 90% of his posts are aimed at drawing attention, and, if possible, steering the conversation into a debate about him. I'm surprised you hadn't noticed.

Yeah, it'd been cool if they had released the demo a little earlier, though. It would have eased the craving of some of us. :D Good game, by the way. It has everything that made Silent Assassin great, and a few more things.

Amusing as this may be, I don't understand why he chose to waste his time like this instead of getting his money back. He had Amir's banking data after all, right?

No. "Mental" differences only appear due to circumstancial incidences during a person's life, provided there's no neurological damage or genetical predisposition to mental disease. Twins (as in identical twins) are genetically identical. Therefore, from a biological standpoint, which is all that matters here, they are identical. Spiritual and moral concerns have no place in a scientific debate such as this. And if there are greater physical differences between you and (close) members of your family (provided there's no interracial breeding), than there are between you and a member of a different race, you might want to consider undergoing a genealogical DNA test...

If you ask for proof, the least thing you should do is provide your own evidence to support your own claims...

Well, right now it looks like their focus is more on destroying law and society, in fact. And with the amount of ethnical, religious and social tensions in the area, I don't think they are going to be "creating" anything anytime soon.

Well, they're also getting their asses handed to them systematically, so it's of little consequence in the big picture... be sure to remind the "fethwits" of this next time they go on an apologetic rant anywhere near you.

Also, AIDA32. It's an excellent system monitoring program. I believe the site closed down, so I'm not sure if the thing supports the latest hardware, though. Should be pretty easy to find the last version in download pages anyway. Right now, my CPU is running (burning?) at a potentially dangerous 63

Huh? What are you talking about? How are some broad facts going to spoil your game? All right, maybe telling exactly how many major areas are there could be a spoiler, as after a while you could suspect you were reaching the endgame (in the unlikely event that you couldn't tell because of plot gimmicks). But otherwise, telling that there may be about X relevant NPCs (not necessarily joinable), over Y word written dialogues, and around Z sidequests gives a much better idea of the scope of the game and its complexity without actually giving anything away. It's such an effective teaser method, in fact, that you can see comments of that sort printed on the back of the boxes of many games. Don't you read those either, for fear of being spoiled? What do you rely on to make a decision then?
