*Mumbles something about 'Twilight' and 'Bad influence'*

Yeah, exactly. Just add 3D and water.

I don't want to use the same account for anything. That might give them valuable info

Crossing the magical 500 threshold (I'm sure there is some superstition behind that). More Dragons here

Start of old thread End of old thread Um, yes. Sort of continued from the previous thread. They lost me there where it said I would need yet another account. Having one way back from Warhammer online, one for Mass Effect 2 and one for Dragon Age, I gave up. Not going to create a new one for a demo.

Obvious luxury item would be something to play those 8 discs on?

My own computer is still locked up in storage (for almost a month now). There is only so much you can do on a work laptop with those intel display thingies Ah well, at least EU III: Divine Wind runs on it.

Somebody already mentioned Jean Reno. 'Leon' is one of my alltime favourite movies. Viggo Mortensen. Nutcase or just dedicated? Not many like him around these days. Gaius Julius Caesar. A man of daring and ideas.

I was going to say that the PC mage has about 8 times the health as the two warriors in the party. The shadows are inconsistent... player party casts shadows at an angle on the ground, the monster must be an illusion

Nah, mages were invented to appeal to insecure teenagers with secret dreams of one day becoming more powerful than everybody else. Especially more powerful than the guys who gets all the girls. That will show them! (cf. 'Harry Potter fans' & 'Raistlin & Caramon')

The size is fine for the purpose (IMNSHO)

Interesting angle. How would this explain the failure of revolts in several places? Does it correlate with the spread of such comms? I've no idea. If so, get a paper out about it, double quick. It looks more like that the amount of popular access to outside influences (media, trade, etc.) improves the chances of success and the degree of motivation. Ideas can indeed be dangerous. Iran and Saudi Arabia are likely way down on the list of candidates for system changes.

Some day, somebody is going to have to explain the fascination with those guitar hero games in easy to understand English

It's been a while, so my memory might be faulty. Can't you drag/assign them to number keys?

Hehe, just saw the CL summary on SBS this morning. It's not that Barca didn't try

I wonder who writes all the background "chatter"? I regularly found the background conversations, the advertising, news readers, asaris discussing the finer points of weaseling out of contracts etc. to be more interesting to listen to than the main characters. Not because the main characters are necessarily particularly bad, but because the "ambience" writers were particularly good (imho). Same for DA:O.

I'm sure Volourn can dislike something in a less belligerent way and I'm sure everybody else and their moms can ignore somebody not liking the same as them, yet everybody feels like they need to follow the script. You would think it's some kind of mating ritual where everybody does weird things without actually understanding why. How about giving it a break, even if just for a while guys? >_

I've tried a few more "arcade" and a few more "simulation" type games, but unfortunately for the fun factor few things beats a handful of old 8 and 16 bit games. The above War in the Pacific is a good attempt, if a bit heavy on the detail and management side (i.e. requires some time investment before really getting going)

Well, I already mentioned a comic book and a tv series villain, how about some crook/cop/mutual nemesis pairings? E.g. Moriarty/Holmes, William Chaloner/Sir Isaac Newton etc.?

True megalomania, grand scheming and dreams of domination. Not like a bunch of lycra wearing emos I could mention, running around whinging and going "Oh Woe is me" and "You are all gonna pay"

Best comic book villain ever: Zorglub Only Larry Hagman as J.R. Ewing in the TV series "Dallas" comes even remotely close in irrestibly villaineous behaviour.

Alfred Hitch****s "The Birds". I was barely a teenager at the time and there was something decidedly creepy about something familiar and normally harmless suddenly becoming a lethal menace. That was of course before I found out about pelicans.

Friendly advice... buy a shredder if you don't already have one, never throw any documents in your rubbish bin. Funcroc WILL find it

Much appreciated sorophx, always wondered what the game was about I doubt that I'll ever get the game to run on my computer

That is why we need bigger and better computers so AI systems can make decisions for us
