Just gonna say, as a mentally ill person myself (had 2 trips to state-run mental institutions for various reasons) I think he has a point though, when 'American Psychiatric Association' has declared "grief" a mental illness and open up a new market for treatment with drugs, it sounds like insanity to outsiders.

I'm not sure I would rely on sanctions and diplomacy either, when sharing 3500+ Km border with an increasingly expansionistic China.

So countries are like witches. They can't cross water? Heard about Remagen?

If they had made something with more believable physics (no rubberband gravity) and genuine variety, it could have been a valuable contribution to the game rather than feeling like "filler". Not that I think they did it because they hate people, but because it was what was possible within time and budget scope.

Hmm, bought Age of Wonders (already had II and III), Septerra Core (always was curious about what it's about) and Syndicate (despite not having the expansion).

Join the Democratic Transistor Party. Power to the majority of Transistors?

edit: Which CD are you talking about? :D Crystal Dynamics

You never tried Tomb Raider Legend? Because Anniversary is about ten times better than that. I was really disappointed in Legend, but I found Anniversary quite good. Not good as the original TR but good anyway. I've completed both Legend and Underworld twice. Never could stomach Anniversary (made it a bit more than halfway through). Probably because I can't help comparing it to the original, which blows anything CD has ever made out of the water.

Hmm, maybe they should just start making GCI Movies/OVA's and skip the hassle of making games altogether?

I think I can muster mild curiosity at best. The Witcher 2 was my biggest disappointment since Tombraider: Anniversary, joining the tiny category of games labelled "wasted investment".

I was considering my backup options and came to the conclusion that dual layered Blu-Ray disks are just too unreasonably expensive. Ended up buying a 4TB Hitachi external HDD (USB3). I'm just so lazy sometimes

It's small, it's fast, it's... very, very small and very very fast Single Atom Transistor Up to a billion times faster than current semi-conductor technology. Looks like liquid cooling computers only for the moment though.

Enjoying the spectacle outside our lunchroom windows. We have a pair of Water Dragons, a red bellied male and what we assume is the smaller female (real world lizards, not the fantasy monsters) that has grown accustomed to getting fed. While they eat the ham and chicken they get served, it's nothing compared to the feeding frenzy when there is cheese on the menu. Since the bush turkeys and crows also seems to have taken a liking to the cheese, there is sometimes growling, flapping, hissing and a lot of threatening gestures taking place when there is little or no cheese left. Who needs TV anyway?

The only thing I remember from Kotor2 was I thought there was waaaay too many robots to fight. It probably didn't help that the entire introduction level was a fight against renegade robots. NWN2 scores no points for encounter design. Endless spawning enemies that hump out of thin air is a declararion of bankruptcy designwise. Not just because I wasted a lot of skill points invested in my rangers tracking skill.

"So, are we gonna kill something now?"

My native language is Danish. My second language is German and I can usually make myself understood in English too. I often wondered how hard it would be to pick up a "Latin" (Italian or Spanish) language when I was younger. Ended up learning French instead. Since I've forgotten most of my French skills, I sometimes wonder how hard it would be to learn an "East Asian" language, but the sheer workload is intimidating. New alphabet and mindset. Syntax and vocabulary is only part of the toolset, you also need to understand the culture and mindset of the language(s) you are trying to communicate with people in.

Just an odd, out of the blue observation, which might be coincidental (or not), but it seemed to me in ME2 that there was some correlation between planets with high Element Zero content and presence (either current or past) of organic life. Maybe Element Zero is the "fossil fuel" that Reapers need and so go around and seed the galaxy with enough technology (the relays) to make sure life spreads to those places they want them to in order to make a bountiful harvest of Space Diesel. Now, did anybody ever figure out why Haestrom's sun (where you pick up Tali) was suffering from rapid ageing? Some kind of superweapon? The gadget that is going to nuke the Reapers or just part of the process where the Reapers test their harvesting technology by baking the content of a planet into Element Zero fuel rods?

The ruling dynasty had. Don't confuse that with modern nationalistic bickering. Exactly. It was actually other way around. The French Plantagenets owned all of England

...and I thought *we* were being silly

Saw somebody post a link to part 3. There's no business like Glow business So that's where the Terrasque came from. Edit to add all three: Second part is up. And now the third part too.

We should forward this message to Merkel and Sarkozy. A way to make Greeks productive...

I'll say this low and slow: You didn't read the rest of my post it seems.. Also this seems to be a touchy subject? but I'm on your guys side, as I said, if the Falkies want to stay with Britain then that's how it should be. My question was more in the area of why this is such a big deal (for Argentina), this didn't seem like a very important piece of land - until I read about the oil Why did China want Tibet? Why did Sweden want Scania? Why did the USA want the CSA? A mix of economic, strategic and nationalistic interests. In the case of the Falklands, it's a mix of nationalism and resources. Potentially large oil reserves in the sea bed.

Talk about being late to the party

That has to be the worlds most heavily subsidized license plates.

Somebody reactivated Funcroc and beat you by a day Still, nice to see second part has come up. Fun, infomative and interesting in one nice package.
