  1. I did something similar with keyboards... absolutely hate the Logitech stuff (any model, they are all crap) and most of the "Ergonomic" designs too. Bought 4 of the good old rectangular Microsoft Multimedia keyboards with decent key feedback and no silly flat rubber keys. I'm now down to my last keyboard I'll probably be looking at a DAS keyboard (the "silent" model) next.
  2. Arghh... I love my 5 button Intellimouse Optical. I've had the current one for more than 6 years Time to stock up on superglue and gaffa tape.
  3. Welcome to the forums DeathViper1959 I've moved your thread to the general gaming discussion forum. Half the old grognards hanging out in Way off Topic are past their "Best by" date when it comes to gaming, so if any, you are more likely to get attention here
  4. That's a Swedish guy, isn't it?
  5. Yeah, he's our own Obsidileaks
  6. That's... not good Edit: I wonder if those heads aren't in game renders, rather than any attempt at emulating the originals?
  7. Gorthonomic theory: Corporate greed will go as far as it can before it gets caught. The simplest possible way of describing the GFC is comparing it to the worlds biggest pyramid scam ever. Every time a middle man (a bank) manages to find somebody to put into debt, the boss gets a bonus and profits gets passed up the chain of lenders. Eventually, so many people will have been put into debts they can't pay that the entire card house comes crashing down. Bank managers don't really care, since they get dibs on available funds for their bonuses first. Part of the problem is that people got money lend to them for buying real estate, expecting the value of real estate to grow permanently. There is no such thing as permanent. In the end, a bunch of filthy rich people got richer and everybody else got shafted, leaving the tax payers to pick up the bill. Part of the outrage was of course (imho), because the first thing aforementioned managers did when getting bail out money was to reward themselves for a job well done (i.e. gambling everybody elses money away on risky ventures, running world economy into the ground). Grossly simplified, but saves years of catching up on the reading
  8. Not really
  9. It's such an impressive rant, it's almost a shame to throw facts in the way of it... Hines said Bethesda approached Obsidian to work on the title. "We've really been enjoying working with [Obsidian] on it," he said, adding, "That is all we're going to say about it right now." Since this isn't really going to lead to any constructive criticism, I'm locking it, as experience has show little useful debate follows from such premisses.
  10. Nah... but then, some of us are trying to actively forget this spin off game. Thanks for the reminder >_ Just kidding (except about the trying to forget part)
  11. Yes? *Raises hand* I vote that one!
  12. Thread pruned a bit. Not sure what the deceased had done to peoples favourite puppies or whatever, but dancing around the fire cackling with glee and celebrating a young persons death as "funny" somehow makes the funny thread lose its funny.

    I believe the term for them is wet. That was the lucid one
  14. They should show us their feet instead. I want the one with practical combat boots rather than stilettos
  15. All that 'Awesome' and 'Accessible for lowest common denominator' had to pay dividende eventually... Although, if you blow up buildings because somebody did it in a video game (did somebody actually blow up a building in DA2?), you probably have more serious issues than a video game addiction anyway (like a complete detachment from reality).

    Twice that I can remember. One was kind of pleasant (in a teenage boy kind of dreamy way) and the other was scary beyond belief (I knew was partially asleep, yet my surroundings looked like the static noise on an empty tv channel, very loud and worst of all, I was completely paralyzed, unable to even twitch a finger). Otherwise I remember very few dreams. Apart from the above, only two nightmares still cling to my memory... One of them so amusing in hindsight that I feel silly being scared by it in the first place, but such is the power of deams and imagination: I started losing my teeth, them falling down into my pillow. Then I tried desperately to stuff them back in my mouth, just to have them trickle through my fingers in larger and larger numbers, to become a surreal stream of teeth seeping through the hands I tried to cover my mouth with. It still reminds me that I need to go see a dentist some day The other one is not for sharing.
  17. Boy you got me, Volo. I didn't think my grandmother was bigoted because she talked about how evil Jews were. I thought my grandmother was bigoted simply because she said she wasn't. Isn't that a "hypocrit"? The powers that be knows I'm a bigot. I only deny it in cases where I'm unaware of my bigotry, not because I don't want to acknowledge my bigotry
  18. Put them in a wrap and sell tham as hot dogs... Almost got trampled to death by a news reporter team the other day. Them all being busy coming out of the court building, poking microphones in some suits face (you would think they were trying to force him to eat them), backpedalling at a brisk pace, not giving a damn what is behind them. Would have been an ignominous fate getting injured in a paparazzi/tabloid stampede

    It can be annoying to the point of being debilitating... Feeling a bit nostalgic. Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine:
  20. Which that, Painkiller or one of its sequels, Painkiller Overdose and Painkiller Resurrection (Battle out of Hell was only an expansion)? Weren't Overdose and Resurrection just glorified fan mods? New levels, new cut scenes, new voice acting, new art assets, new fmv's, new story, new new stuff etc. Depends on what you regard as "fan mods". Is FO:NV a "fan mod" to FO3?
  21. Which that, Painkiller or one of its sequels, Painkiller Overdose and Painkiller Resurrection (Battle out of Hell was only an expansion)?
  22. LARP - The Movie Looks like it could be fun though.
  23. Must be horrible. Getting gently talked to by beautiful female psychiatrists the whole day "But you're special! You can change if you just want! Do you want a massage to feel better?". Heh, if that's what you imagine what a ward looks like I've seen them with chemical castration/pacification, straight jackets and padded walls (and nurses that makes Ilse, the camp guard seem gentle by comparison).
  24. Unless he's declared insane, in which case he'll end up indefinitely in a psychiatric ward. The equivalent of a life sentence.
  25. Because some psycho might be tempted by an easy target? It's not the thing you normally expect in Scandinavia. Last significant massacre at a political gathering was the bloodbath of Stockholm in 1520
