They just don't make woody entertainment like that anymore Mass produced tinny stuff is all that seems to come out of the assembly lines these days

The Void. Too much bare boobies to show here, but quite atmospheric. If you'll excuse me, I have a tree to paint

I never understood what people saw in 'Seinfeld' But then, I loved 'Finding Nemo' and a colleague that I lent the dvd to hated it. Humor seems to be a very subjective thing

Maybe they are trying to revive the "golden era" of homegrown European terrorists when the Italian Red Brigades, the German Rote Armee Fraction etc. killed bankers and industrialists in "the name of the people". Never mind that people didn't really want to be liberated by them. Not defending those guys, just noting that they were idealists, not in it for the fame or the money.

I don't know why it amuses me so much knowing that you paid three times as much for the exact same part as I did (i7 920 @ 3.2 GHz). Schadenfreude. Bah, my computer is cooler than yours

The Warhammer 40000 setting was made for people like you Too many WH40K action games an no crpgs whatsoever currently around.

Is there really a difference between Facebook and a MMO? I thought parts of the addictiveness of MMO's was the interaction with other "real" people. What would be their point otherwise?

Thanks Oblarg I suddenly feel like listening to some old Judas Priest again I guess its about as pointless to nail down the exact details of what qualifies as what in music as it is in game genres... what makes an RPG

This brings back bad memories of Leprechaun fighting... ye gods I hate those little buggers. All my precious gold

But you do have time for single player games? How does that work? It's a matter of timing. It happens that I have an hour or two to spend on a game (on rare occasions an entire night), but I can rarely ever plan for it.

Can somebody explain in simple English what progressive metal is? Listened to a few of the youtube vids and didn't see anything that Ronnie James Dio didn't do better in 1983

The new Lara Croft game? I have to say, its excellent! You serious?... It looks like a Diablo clone I wouldn't say its a Diablo clone, but if you could mash Diablo and Tomb Raider togeather, you'd get the new Lara Croft game. Give the demo a shot, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised, for the price its worth it if you have someone to play Co-op with If there is a demo, I'll try it. Diablo was probably the wrong comparison, it was the first thing that sprang to mind to describe mindnumbing combat against endless enemies and loot gathering. Visually, it actually reminded me a bit of what little we've seen of Dungeon Siege III so far. Blame it on my age, but Tombraider and Tombraider II still stands out in my mind as "The Tombraider Games", because the focus wasn't action, but exploration. It wasn true sandbox games, but the levels were effin huge for its time and you were rewarded for exploring it. Lara Croft was as much the super elite force, all slaying soldier that Indiana Jones was (i.e. not). Besides, I don't really have time for co-op games unfortunately, so that isn't a selling point

If they told you that there were secret passages, they wouldn't really be secret anymore? Saying yes would be a lie no matter what.

Less than literal quote of your post Never managed to survive that one without cheating. If Tigranes beats it in one go without reloading, I'm going to be not just impressed by his skill, but ask him to fill out my lotto coupon

Gorth - a Hater since 1966 and proud of it Moderately interested in Fallout: New Veges. I would have loved to be looking forward to the new Tombraider game, but I took one look at the trailer, scratched my head and went "WTF?" Am looking forward to Victoria II and Europa Universalis III: Divine Wind

Seemed like a good place to continue the discussion... Start of old thread End of old thread

I've switched mine off and leave it to my Kaspersky application control to keep the running software in a leash. Quite revealing what some programs try to do every now and then, from writing hidden registry keys to trying to "phone home". I just don't trust programmers

Start of old thread End of old thread Don't they have some kind of legal aid for the financially challenged or some such in NZ? I once had a scuffle with Samsung and asked JustAnswer for advice. Got to talk with a lawyer whose specialty was Aussie law on the subject and got the info needed on how to tackle it. They asked for a donation up front (typically $30 at the time) and then you could pay what you could afford/felt it was worth after receiving help. The latter being optional.

Dude just look for a saved game online. I have, yet again, they suck. There's a close one that's good, can't remember what I disliked about it. Edit: On second check, there's only one thing wrong with it. The Bhatia body quest. I guess I can live with that. Isn't there a save game editor around where you can tweak most things in the previous game?

Maybe, some day, they'll release the entire collection of DLC's as a discounted "box set". Same thing for Dragon Age. I'll probably skip ME3 and DA2 and wait until they come as some packaged deal in the bargain bin. Might be a few years, but whats the hurry?
