Another NWN2 Movie
I think it was placeholder music. The new music heard in the video is IMO better than NWN1's. I didn't mind the drarf, but I thought that the tiefling character is Annah wannabe. I may be, of course, wrong, since I'm judging only by that video.

Another NWN2 Movie
Just finished downloading. I have to agree about voice acting, which I hated. Probably because I just got used to the lack of it in old games and had all the dialogue in my head by reading.

Prison justice
Yes, I was just picking at your assertion that there are plenty of old recidivists.

Prison justice
Happened before... will happen again. Plenty of 65+ murderers wandering about killing folks... unless newspapers make up stuff... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Source? Statistics please. Just throwing a random statement with a vague reference to "newspapers" about hordes of senior citizens killing folks won't do. Same here. It is a rare case, unless you have some statistics to indicate otherwise. Recidivism at this age is uncommon, unless of course this paper (Canadian) "makes stuff up".

Prison justice
Let's see... Assuming they do more or less serious crime (that deserves 50 years in prison) in their early twenties, then, when they are out, they are in 70s. Are you seriously suggesting that they are capable of killing/raping(lol)/stealing at that age?

Stick this in your pipe and smoke it!
That's cool! (w00t) It makes me want to make something like that right now at 4am, but I can't think of anything terribly original now. javascript:R=0;S=0;T=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24;x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length;function A(){for(i=0; i<DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style;DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5+Math.random()*10;DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5+Math.random()*10}T+=0.02;S=Math.sin(T);R+=S }setInterval('A()',5); void(0)

Alan Wake needs quad-core CPU?
Maybe they plan to release it in the same way as STALKER?

In Russian prisons pedophiles get killed in no time.

What are you playing now?
Darwinia, so far is an excellent game. Comes in a bundle with an incredibly cheesy hacker game Uplink.

The windows logo bar in the start menu...
I cringe every time I see the default blue XP theme with a default "Green Hills" background and default Windows Media Player and MSN Explorer (or whatever) icons.

I'm opening it in Firefox. Upgrade your Flash player.

Movies You Have Seen Lately
I felt the same way about Superman 3. I remember loving it when I was a kid but watched it again last christmas holiday and it sucked so bad. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't hit me folks, but I think exactly the same way about Star Wars now.

Pi: Freaking awesome (w00t) (even despite some math flaws).

Ladies and gentlemen, a moment of your time!
The first option has more intuitive representation of target value, "43% chance" vs some abstract "DC 17", the second has more intuitive roll value explanation, "bigger is better". *Abstains*

What are you playing now?
I have just installed Steam and a few demos. I must say that after months and months of game deprivation I'm quite impressed how easy it is to get games (and how easy it is to spend money on it). Darwinia, DEFCON, Half-Life 2 and (maybe) Dark Messiah are on my to-buy list.

California sues car companies over global warming
Well, form a layman's perspective it doesn't sound like a big deal, but even a small increase in average temperature has a substantial effect on ecosystem as a whole (and hence agriculture, fresh water supply, etc). From what I read, climate scientists (who do understand the topic) agree that the effects of global warming are in fact underestimated. I don't take either point as an absolute truth, but it is something to think about.

Buying a 19"
I have a 19" Benq FP91G+, which has a response of 8ms too, and I have no problem with games whatsoever. It was awesome after my 15" faded old laptop panel, but after seeing my boss' widescreen 30"... not so.

California sues car companies over global warming
(my .02) Current fuel technology is cost-efficient, that's why consumers keep buying them, and hence car manufacturers keep manufacture them. Pollution isn't going anywhere until a cheap alternative fuel technology is found and put into mass production.
