Oh...

In terms of energy involved. Cosmic particles collide with similar energies up there on a fairly regular basis. It might be common in the high altitudes, but keeping 10.000 tonnes of measuring equipment completely still 40-80 km up in the air is just such a hassle.

Yep, it was just a black screen in every direction. Very art nouveau. People put hundreds of hours into it, mostly because they couldn't see the exit button. Black screen? Ingame screenshot: If anything, it was very white and blue. Hundreds of hours?... don't be silly, people put thousands of hours into it

Yes. *Sigh* ...can't believe people are actually discussing which art is "better". You would think this was the internet or something. Besides, people keep forgetting the greatest sandbox grand strategy/crpg of all times: "Lords of Midnight" which had it's own unique art style.

Hey, thats how new dishes gets invented. Nothing like a bit of garlic oatmeal for breakfast. Especially if you are trying to enforce a "privacy sphere" at work >_ Had some nice simple lunch with some rolls, ham, cheese, stuffed olives, sundried tomatos and some funny little red capsicum thingies with fillings.

lol... Dissident satellites? Maybe the weather is sensitive information... officially the sun always shines.

Van Helsing. 'Twilight' for guys

What is the difference between Disc version of IWD 2 and the "Complete" version from GoG??? IWD2 had not any expansion pack, so i kinda do not understand what can be called complete on this game There was a "complete" edition released at one time (I bought the box back then), that has IWD, HoW, IWD2, Soundtracks and strategy guides included. Maybe this is the one referred to? Edit: For some obscure reason TotL wasn't included, but I had that one from back when I bought HoW.

Honestly, I thought it was forum troll trying to piss off 99.99% of potential buyers with a tasteless joke and somebody would clarify that their account had been hacked or some such

Since it is getting closer to Christmas, I wonder if Santa Claus is going to hate me for wishing BitComposer a quick bankruptcy and a fast and ignominous end to their unhealthy infatuation with the JA2 corpse? Browsing around a bit for news about JA2, I stumbled across this farce (second post): http://www.jaggedalliance.com/index.php?id...um_pi1 =11 Bye JA franchise, it was nice knowing you

...waiting for the tanks to roll into the Vatican and dispose of the Pope and his Swiss Guard

Does that mean more Diary Entries? (yeah, I don't have the game, don't really plan on it at the moment either)

The Grand Canyon, Antarctica, Milford Sound, The Great Barrier Reef, The Jungles of Borneo... lots of places. For less epic and much more unusual places I would love to see Ten Strange Places

I can't cook. I can however heat stuff. As long as I only have to watch a single pot or pan on the stove, I'll manage. Just follow the KISS principle. Fry some meat on the pan, add some spice and get something simple like steamed vegetables or rice (both of which can be made in the microwave) to it. If it gets boring, add more spices Edit: If you burn the meat, add more red wine... lots.

Uh huh...

My thoughts exactly when reading that transcript The government just needs to put up a substantial advance fee to enable the transfer of that fortune to the governments account

A publisher?

Lets see... had some roast chicken, different kinds of cheese, crackers, pine apple, melons, figs, dates, various nuts, fresh strawberries and red wine (and beer for those aren't wine drinkers). Had to wear a funny tie too. Yeah, it's Melbourne Cup day, so we had a long lunch at work. Americaine won me $15 in the betting pool

Dark, not too dark?... That's a two edged sword. Unlike ME2 where the characters and the writing was interesting IMO (and the combat sucked), it was the combat and game mechanics, not the writing that made DA good, at least for a while Going the path of Might and Magic? Anyway, if you pull the combat system out of DA, there is precious little left I struggle getting beyond the starting levels of DMC4. Just too boring >_

Sounds like you need to go to New Zealand some day... Mountains, volcanic wastelands, temperate rain forest, you'll find it all most of it (North African type desert might be a bit of challenge) In which case I can only table a motion that we turn it into a giant prison. Like in Escape From New York. Prison is supposed to be a punishment

I found ME2 to be a mixed bag, not uniformly dark. Sure, Freedoms Progress seems to take place at night and Omega 4 had just the right atmosphere for a derelict space station (my favourite place in the game), whereas Illium, The Citadel, Horizon etc. was all shiny bright colours. Heck, even SR2 was much brighter and lighter interior design than SR1. Whether it's absurd or not very much depend on how the consequences influence ME3. If they simply pretend it didn't take place or just send you the odd email/cameo, then it was indeed absurd. If you get to keep your surviving team members for a final showdown, much less so.

Don't encourage them! Connecting dots was tolerable exactly once. The three piece puzzle game was tolerable twice, maybe three times. Planet scanning was hate at first sight. None of them were ever fun, just time sinks to space out story points and prolong the game a bit.

Ooof... too much Cayenne Pepper in the food. Still has that burning feeling several hours after my nose stopped running

C64 Web server No, didn't try it. I did however use internet for years on my Commodore Amiga through a PPP interface and I remember reading about a C64 implementation of tcp/ip stack at the time
