  1. Moved to the DS III section... I did consider Developers Corner for a moment, but that would just be too cruel
  2. I wonder if that franchise can dig itself out of the mire it immersed itself in? IV was a disaster and V no good. Kings Bounty is the only clone that managed to bring a bit of fun back, but even that is a pale shadow of what it was from III and before (and lets pretend that Disciples III was never made).
  3. "Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Retcon."
  4. Congratulations... I think Reminds me it's about time to get my motorcycle scheduled for its second service (soon to pass 5000 km).
  5. 'The Island' Nice uncomplicated entertainment to kill an hour or two with.
  6. Damn you for getting my hopes up Yet another RTS game.
  7. it is. Of course the announcement that Funcroc linked to said absolutely nothing about where it's headed next. One can always hope, at least for a while
  8. Getting to the proverbial end of the line. More Fallout: New Vegas here
  9. Start of old thread End of old thread Umm, never played Fallout 3. I'll just go back to my cave and lurk... Edit: As somebody was in the middle of saying when I slammed the door shut on the old thread:
  10. So, upper management claims something is wrong with the methodology but adamantly refuses to even hint at, much less elaborate on what... Maybe the monkeys made fools of them all and put up an act, pulling the researchers legs and getting a good giggle out of it when the cameras were off?
  11. Actually, we are talking about 50-100ft waves... http://soundwaves.usgs.gov/2005/03/ At least where the majority of the casualties happened in the Aceh province.
  12. What can change the attributes of a gun?Belief. What about regret, love, revenge or fear? Only faith in Him on Earth and the proper care and litanies to appease the machine spirits of your Bolt Gun will ensure proper dispension of The Emperors justice... While vile mutants still draw breath, there can be no peace. While obscene heretics' hearts still beat, there can be no respite. While faithless traitors still live, there can be no forgiveness. (from 'The Catechism of Hate')
  13. Because, like, it's about marines. In space. It's easier to remember than 'Adeptus Astartes'.
  14. Yes, but it is mostly "new" old games bought on various sales the last 3 months. It's incredible what you can get for $1-$7 when you are an opportunist
  15. 'Cinematic'... Why is the industry so obsessed with making games "Cinematic" rather than fun to play? Hopefully somebody will cart off 'Cinematic' together with 'Epic', 'Immersive' and 'Action' to the buzz word cemetary some day
  16. Quantum superposition? Ah, but what if we were to hide that statistic from view, ie: put it in a box? Then we would only be able to determine the actual alignment by opening the box and directly observing the fame-o-meter. Wouldn't opening the box cause your fame-o-meter to collapse into a definite state? You don't really know what it was before you opened the box. For all we know, we could be either equally well famous or infamous.
  17. I would say get the demo. The first one is awesome, but still an acquired taste. Sort of MS Excel with guns. Very high detail level. Haven't really had time to follow development of V2, but I'll get the demo myself first. HOI never appealed to me for some reason, but I was probably already spoiled rotten by the most excellent 'War in Russia' (freeware game).
  18. Not Wikipedia, but I suppose that it would have much of the same information. Fusion energy FTW
  19. When the Tsar Bomba was tested, it was configured especially for the occasion to only yield half it's maximum output. An unexpected sideeffect of the change was that it was the "cleanest" nuclear detonation ever. You can try out various payloads on your favourite city here
  20. Harvey as in Harvey the 6' Foot Invisible Rabbit... This place died a little bit that day
  21. VMBL? At least the haunted house part I think you are more likely to find point and click adventures with horror themes. Recently started on Still Life and Post Mortem. I have another rather unknown game, which uses spooky atmosphere to great effect without being an actual horror game, called 'The Void'. NecroVision? Sort of like Painkillers evil twin.

    Akinator

    Truly you have glimpsed behind the curtain and revealed the shocking truth the whole world. Akinator has finally been outed as the fraud he is. He sure aint no Octopus It's just that it reminded me of Neural Networks from Artificial Intelligence class, way back in time during my university years

    Akinator

    It can probably only learn new persons by failing and then add the information collected about the name to the database.
  24. I was about to despair and write off a handful of point and click adventures that I bought recently, as it seemed that no matter what, I just couldn't get them to run on Windows 7 64bit. Having resigned myself to uninstall and then reinstall them on my very old PC, I made a last ditch attempt with Google... alexborisov.org to the rescue The trick was not just to run them in compatibility mode (I tried windows XP sp2 and sp3 compatibility, Windows 98 was no help either), but to run them in Windows NT4.0 Sp5 compatibility mode. Not kidding, they run as smooth as a politicians lies now. Time to revisit Still Life, Syberia, Post Mortem and a few others Edit: Currently playing 'The Greate White Destroyer', where you get to play a shark. You have to eat Fish, Swimmers, Scuba Divers, sink boats etc. Cute little game.

    Prop 8

    I've always been in favour of getting rid of marriage altogether. There, problem solved.
