Muahaha! e = mc2 + x

I can't think of that many I've seen either, but "City of God" sort of stood out in the crowd of movies seen the last decade.

I haven't actually tried it (yet), but something like this? String.Format("{0:yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss}", dt); That's assuming we are talking about 1st of September (Americans use have date and month the other way around). The '/' character is depending on your language/regional setting. Edit to add: Found this suggestion String.Format("{0:u}", dt); // "2008-03-09 16:05:07Z" UniversalSortableDateTime

Sounds like the perfect, portable gaming machine

Already happened (pic). Oh yes...

Sounds a bit like Michael Jackson's self destructive tendencies, as a tool to distance himself from a former life. Also, didn't his ex-wife rip him off good? He needed the money from the "re-makes"

Having dumped FO3 (after the lack of pleasure that was 'little lamplight'), I'm now putting in more time in FO:NV. I started a character a while ago and decided to stick with my current build (focus on energy weapons, science and lockpick). No idea if it is going to come back and bite me in the butt later. Started out by roaming around in the relative "safety" of Goodsprings, fighting coyotes and geckos and has since scouted out quite a part of the southwestern corner of the map. Had to backtrack at one point (loading an older save) after getting myself trapped in a hut surrounded by too much radiation and a pair of feral ghoul reavers (I had lured them away and sneaked my way into the hut) lurking outside the front door when exiting. I'll have to come back and rediscover later. Doing a bit of spelunking and walking about the area of Nipton (where I met the legion for the first time). Also found Beru and uncle Owen >_ Besides that, trying to make my mind up if I should start a new game of BG1 (to play a charater through both BG1 and BG2) or start a new game of EU III, conquering the world as the Timurids.

I may be missing some sarcasm or joke, but just in case: the Black Sheep being discussed is not the Chris Farley movie but a low budget horror parody from New Zealand dealing with genetically engineered, murderous sheep. Chris Who?!? Just to clarify, as TrueNeutral said, this is the one I was talking about: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0779982/

This. The majority of jerks who can't figure out how to switch off a phone at a conference/movie/theater whatever simply feels that rules are for everybody else. If you need to be available 24/7, then you wouldn't be in such a position in the first place (or put it on silent/vibrate).

I think people sometimes forget that there are different ways of being a "real gamer". There are the discerning (snobbish) audience that is enthusiastic about a subset of gaming, whether it be particular franchises, genres or brands. Then there are those who are avid consumers, considering themselves "cool" when they have play whatever is currently "hip" (I'm sure somebody can suggest a more contemporary word for what is currently fashionable, my slang vocabulary may be hopelessly outdated), which is what all their mates play. Preferably with as much gimmicks as possible that they can show off against their mates (achievements, online rankings, etc.). The latter group is where the money is. From the link:

People need to watch 'Black Sheep'. Best movie to come out of New Zealand since 'Bad Taste' and 'Braindead'

Playing a bit of FO3 and FO3:NV. FO3 sort of went nicely for a while. I even enjoyed the DLC's. Then I ran into place called 'Little Lamplight' and all my positive thoughts about the game so far completely evaporated. I mean, seriously, even tossing a barrage of mini nukes at those little brats had no effect?!? Ah well, I had reached the level cap anyway and probably seen most of what the game had to offer. I'll just drop it and focus on FO:NV instead. Is it just my imagination or do the critters there sometimes run for help? I could have sworn that the geckos and the canines run away if shot at, just to return with their extended families.

Dilbert is brilliant As for meetings, isn't that what you hire project managers for, so they can sit in meetings all day long while you actually get some work done

Got mail today... my 25th anniversary edition of Lucio Fulci's "Zombi 2". Two disc digitally remastered and uncut, with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. I'm going to buy a bottle of wine and indulge in zombie gore horror fest tomorrow

No idea who he is, but he looks like a young Brezhnev?

Enjoying a bit of easy time at work these days. Sort of the calm before the storm as one of our biggest projects ever is going to kick off in a few weeks time. Goodbye life, it was nice knowing you. Sort of wondering if I should put in my annual leave request for next August now, just to be sure

Actually, what the hell DID happpen to squats? Everytime the subject comes up, the local red shirts pulls the old oyster trick after running the standard corporate line of "the only right thing to do"

Unfortunately there was no option of crafting a pair of mittens from Cespenars hide. He sure is a contented for most obnoxious npc

There are people who scans planets for a living?... *shiver* Interesting stuff though, if you believe that mankinds future is not limited to the current planet.

I found BG2's method to be a mixed blessing. Some of the stuff made sense and was fun, some of the stuff was just frustrating. It might have to do with the pacing though. An old gripe of mine, offering you the sword of spider slaying as a reward for killing the last spider in the game Getting nice, fire resistant armour was a nice reward for skinning Firkraag (does that even count as "crafting"), getting the Equaliser for pretty much completing the game was an exercise in futility.

I liked it in The Witcher, gave you a chance to stop and smell the flowers... quite literally I don't remember if you could even buy potions in TW? Besides, it seems like it fit in with the lore, the setting and the actual story arc (their laboratory getting raided), so superficially it seemed an integral part of the game. Sure beat the heck out of planet scanning as a secundary activity/time filler.

Whats wrong with the graphics? >_ It even has colours!

Nostalgia definitely plays a part. It was only the second time I remember a comprehensive world with a consistent "internal logic". I.e. it's own laws of morality, physics, causality etc. You felt like you were walking around on the continent of Britannia, exploring and discovering, seizing ships for transport over water etc. I tried one of the later ones (either V or VI, don't remember which one) and didn't like it. The isometric, colourful jumbo sized graphics took up too much screen real estate at the cost of the sense of "exploring".

Got the GoG version of Ultima IV too. Brings back some memories. I wonder if the music is as good as the C64 version though? A curse upon the Demon that lives of socks in drawers and old game boxes, I miss my old Ultima IV box. It came with a printed map and a plastic Ankh >_
