    If you make a lucky guess, you can get 3700+ words (just trying out the limits of the system). I think I got around 475 or so in first try. Then tried it again without reading and just answering the questions right away.
  2. Maybe the male North American Face-Eater gets all territorial during breeding season?
  3. Playing a bit of Trine 2 to take a break from Warlock - Master of the Arcane. It's like the guys making the game went completely overboard with the eyecandy, but I don't mind.
  4. That's how I understood it too. Most bundles so far has offered either direct download and Steam/Other keys and some larger files a torrent option seeded by Humble Bundle.
  5. Still playing a bit of Warlock - Master of the Arcane. One of my better investments
  6. Read my lips: "No new zombies"
  7. Because they do have an overhead per transaction. If you already have most of the games, at least donate some more to the charities (besides what you feel like paying for the one or two games you don't have), just so they don't actually have an expense on what is essentially a gesture of trust. Oh, and I see Krezack already beat me to it...
  8. Seems to have passed somewhat beyond the 500 post finishing line... more thread here
  9. Start of old thread End of old thread Why do they even bother calling it "Tomb Raider"??? >_ Currently installing the TR 1+2+3 package from GOG. Probably the best one can hope for in a foreseeable future.
  10. Didn't LA whine that KotOR 2 was too dark for the regular SW feel? Probably the same guys who were in denial about Han shooting first.
  11. Found around the net... Cars have warning lights when something is wrong. Girls become monosyllabic and walk faster. When the car
  12. There is still a way to go from hating them to defacing them (bad pun). So, the stuff the guy was high on is apparantly something unusual. Reminds me a bit of that old 80's trash movie, Return of the Living dead. Except that stuff came in barrels.
  13. Since I've got allmost all the previous ones (except one that was all smart phone apps), I might just get this one. Not at least because this time I only have one of the games already. And yeah, don't be a cheapskate, if necessary give more to the charity part.
  14. General Vincent van GOG... At least it looks like they test the games. I have to have the TR I+II+III package. Just for the ability to run it on my current PC. Edit: Carmageddon Max Pack Eek!!!
  15. It's an old-skool take on early cyberpunk, so it's more crunchy than the later stuff. In the RPG (PnP) you had some genuinely cool character builds and the setting was pretty cool. The closest thing I've played was an old thing on my Commodore Amiga a few lifetimes ago called "Bloodnet". Featuring Vampires and cyberpunky stuff. Fun game, even if it kicked my butt with stupid encounters I couldn't win in time. Always regretted not finishing it. Had some fancy (for its time) crafting options (called "Jury Rigging" or some such)
  16. Falling stout bubbles explained One of the great mysteries of the universe explained... why bubbles in stout are sinking rather than floating to the top. "Irish mathematicians may have solved the mystery of why bubbles in stout beers such as Guinness sink"
  17. Google translate is your friend...
  18. Damn doomsday preachers!... tossing out the old liver and getting a new one isn't an option I suppose? Sort of a sharp reminder to enjoy every day to the fullest and not take tomorrow for granted. Even if/when they give you your years back, it never hurts to spend more time being happy than being grumpy. Mate, still hoping for the best
  19. Ugh. I hate to say that things were better in the days of old, but things like this forces me to draw such conclusions... It must be a mistake. I didn't spot a single roleplaying game on the list. It's all mmo or fighting/beat-em up games I suddenly feel all warm and fuzzy for having supported Wasteland 2.
  20. I'm sure the Kiwis are going to be excited that you remembered to include them in the congratulations Joking aside, it is an interesting project. I normally don't follow the news on observations (damn peeping toms), but when a project gets ambitious enough in scale, you know somebody somewhere is serious about taking a look at something. Knowledge of the universe is key to "conquering" it.
  21. My PC is not primarily a gaming machine (I dabble a bit in 3d landscape creation and animation)
  22. As somebody who couldn't develop a shader to save his life, I wonder how much of a deterrent the multitude of pc configurations is for publishers, since they are (in theory) the ones who's supposed to do aftersale support when people can't get their purchases running.
  23. If the EU is going to crash and burn anyway, does it matter in the long term? Another gem, shamelessly borrowed from BBC: "As Commission Regulation (EC) 2257/94 puts it, bananas must be "free from malformation or abnormal curvature". In the case of "Extra class" bananas, there is no wiggle room, but Class 1 bananas can have "slight defects of shape", and Class 2 bananas can have full-on "defects of shape". No attempt is made to define "abnormal curvature" in the case of bananas, which must lead to lots of arguments. Contrast the case of cucumbers (Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1677/88), where Class I and "Extra class" cucumbers are allowed a bend of 10mm per 10cm of length. Class II cucumbers can bend twice as much." How are people supposed to standardise Bananas and Cucumbers without the the EU? What is the loss of sovereignty compared to such benefits???
  24. Robot Fish to patrol harbours and shallow water for polluters... Something Fishy this way comes... "One they've sniffed out a problem, the fish use artificial intelligence to hunt down the source of pollution. They can work alone or in a team, communicating with each other using acoustic signals and they can continuously report back to the port." I wonder when the first armoured and torpedo equipped robot whale is being launched to fight whaling?
  25. What? On 2k's website, it's classified as 'shooter' You do know that there are two (2) XCOM games, right? The one from 2K Marine (shooter), and the one from Firaxis (TB strategy). Well, I checked out the one on the website that was linked to in the post I quoted. That's sort of the point of providing a link, isn't it?
