Curses on whoever posted the link to the Tentacles song somewhere Been listening to a number of the songs from the various musical and Chtulhu Carols albums. Awake Ye Scary Great Old Ones Found a link to their website somewhere and ordered the CD's. Actually, I ordered the bundle just to get the holiday tentacle to hang on a fireplace

Bought the latest humble bundle... powering up my new games Loading... Coming from a time where chosen ones were REAL chosen ones! No walkthroughs necessary, just true grit (and plenty of lives) Haven't had this much fun in quite a while

Sounds like they reinvented "Eidolon" and "Rescue on Fractalus" (obscure references with meanings hidden for anybody but true geeks)

Presumably, although the game actually allow you to substitute killing with sneaking in a number of places. Heck, some things in the game can only be done by being sneaky. Oh, and keep an eye out for the UV Index, too much sunlight is detrimental to your health

No map needed... 1) Find neck 2) Bite Ok, so there is a bit more to it. VMBL's journal entries usually have all the information you need

A bit of last minute pruning and editing, since somebody missed the 'stop' sign. Not claiming to know what goes on underneath those fluffy bunny ears of his, but it's probably a good guess

Thread ran out of steam... More here

Start of old thread End of old thread I've been playing 'Gish' lately. One of the indie 'Humble Bundle' games for which they later emailed me Steam codes. Cutest little tar ball around.

...although my favourite W.A.S.P. songs from that general time period would be The Real Me and 95 Nasty.

Oops

Australia is cultivating vine grapes? I didn't know there's even growing something down there... They grow more than just spiders and kangaroos

Why don't they just sell Alaska back to the Russians (or sell it to the Chinese for that matter). I seem to remember reading somewhere, that it is the greatest money pit and most subsidized by federal tax money place in the US I'm investing in Australia too... bought some beer and a few bottles of wine

Ok, lets try this again. If I have to get my hands out of the nice cozy pockets where they stay again, they wont see the funny in it. They hate working.

Was not. Carmageddon was the best

Carmageddon All hail the king!

One thing I never understood about Microsoft Flight Sim X... why the heck can't you map the reverse thrust to the reverse throttle on my Saitek X52 Pro?!? I mean, I like the simulator and I love my Joystick/Throttle pair (which is also awesome when playing X2), but try to land a Boing 737 without using reverse thrust on a short runway. The only way you can use it, is from the virtual ****pit where you have to take your eyes off the runway and then scroll down until you can pull the levers with the mouse point. Helloooo? There is a reason for why they are banning cellphones while driving, you are supposed to keep your eyes on the road. Years of Google searching has given no result. My wonderful input device speaks to deaf software

As much as I loved the original Red Faction, the second game was such a disappointment that I wrote off the franchise back then. Then I bought some bundle from Gamersgate one day, to get the third installment (Guerilla, which I've yet to play), but I didn't even know that there was a fourth game?!? Guerilla is probably the best game in the series. You should play it. I've taken a couple of weeks off from work after the coming weekend. I might just catch up on my procrastination

DW does add a lot of nifty features, including ways to keep your BB rating under control by offering a selection of Casus Bellis (if one or more applies), giving different BB modifiers for various actions. You can also chose whether or not you want to call on allies when going to war, so you can (with enough prestige) seriously gang up on select opponents when declaring wars, not just when being attacked. Of course, things sometimes comes back and bites you in the butt, because the AI does it too. As Byzantine Empire, I declared war on the lilliputanian state of Avignon, being only guaranteed by Portugal (defender of Catholic Faith). Portugal then declared war on me, summoning England and Spain to the conflict, Spain summoning France to the war, who again summoned all their sycophant vassal states. I was suddenly very alone in an all out war against all of Western Europe... Time for a reload

Maybe thats why they made Leliana obsessed with shoes in DA:O?

You might want to add HttT and DW to your EU3 collection if you haven't already. Central and east Asia (the various "Horde" nations and Ming and Japan) becomes a completely different game Edit to add: The keyboard I got my sights on... there is also a macho version with no labels on the keys. If you are good enough, you don't need to look at the keys anyway

Yes, now stop complaining, what was that about keyboards? So far we've only seen mice

Like I said, on the whole I'm not interested in him on even in this one particular event. He could be everything you say he is, he could be a real hardcore revolutionary, he could be both. Or neither. Hell, maybe the whole manifesto is a ploy of some sort. I'm interested in political side of it all and the implications of one such "well ordered democracy" giving rise to people who spend 9 years systematically planning to negate it. You can blame it all on the individual but the system has a part in it, if for no reason other than that he was formed and grew up in it. People with Autism sometimes dedicate their lives, not just 9 years, to memorize license plates. Doesn't make them victims of society, only of their own disorders. The "price" if you want, of a free and open society is unfortunately also being vulnerable to those who wants to vandalize it. I don't see a lot of Norwegians lining up in queues, wanting to be saved by him, which really just reinforces the point that he is not a product of society as much as a product of his own shortcomings. He's a 30+ insecure teenager desperately looking for reasons for why his life turned out the way it did. Want to place bets that it has more to do with family history than society and politics?

Seriously Boo... you know better than present such a text without giving the source a closer look, and as you said, read between the lines "I still have a relatively inflated ego, with a constant need to feed on an intellectual level." [i want to do some stuff someday that I've only read about other people doing, so I can be a cool guy too some day] (I should move out from Mom's place some day) "This is likely due to the fact that I do not care as much as I did for creating or preserving social relationships due to my life choice." [being with other people scares me, so I run away to avoid rejection] (I fail at everything. What is wrong with people?!?) "I do not accept or acknowledge many of the established ?social rules? as I view it as irrelevant noise which takes us away from what is needed of us at this point in time." [i always got picked last for the football team, nobody wanted my company] (Yeah, see if I want to be on your team. YOU are the losers, hear me? all of you, losers!!!...) "I used to have pretty shallow ambitions where the goal of personal acquisition of wealth, gaining admiration from other shallow individuals and the attempt of gaining unlimited access to sex and parties was the driving force behind my existence." [No girl is ever gonna love me, so I better save up and pay for prostitutes] (I'll pay you anything you want, just don't present me with expectations, I can't handle that) Etc. I'm sure it's full of further attempts to deflect the responsibility of his failing at life, trying to blame it on everything except his own mistakes. The diary of a loser and escapist.

Sounds more like your average inferiority nutcase. Can't face life, dreams of the proverbial 15 minutes of fame (and a lifetime of infamy). Picked the easy way out to vent his impotent rage against everybody except himself. Coward through and through.
