Maybe the tablesaw is a motivation thing... is there a timer on the power socket in the wall?

Not to mention that nationalising corporate assets, besides making Castro go green with envy over the scale, would set a dangerous precedent. Both by making foreign companies more reluctant to invest in the US, but also because overseas nations might be more inclined to think, "They can do it, so can we" and help themselves to American assets in a dispute situation. Moving thresholds and lowering bars can be detrimental.

Well, I got Windows 7 Ultimate, which in turn made my keyboard unusable (No windows 7 drivers). Got the water cooling blocks and the gfx card too (XFX "Black Edition" Radeon 5970). Still need to replace the fan on the gfx card with the cooling block. I wonder why I even bother with a case, it's not like my stuff is going to fit in there again Still need to find a good keyboard one of these days. Maybe that DAS Keyboard somebody once posted a link to. Describes my previous PC very well (except it is 5+ years old). I still hang on to it. It just keeps running and running.

For what it's worth, the only "compatibility" problems I have is with ATI is old, really old, games, like Icewind Dale and Disciples II. I need to disable a few features to make the flickering go away. But once you create a normal everyday profile and an old games profile and save for easy switching, it's no biggie.

On the internet, we are all experts

Happens every now and then, both indoors and outdoors. Try to stay away from "corners" or you might end up floating on air. I found the view from above quite spectacular at the Normandy Crash site On the other hand, having finally cleared and endless stream of constantly respawning droids and getting stuck up in the air with no way down at the end of the warehouse wasn't one of the high points (pun unintended)

The combat is awful and the mini games atrocious, but overall the game is better than the sum of its parts. Well worth playing a few times

For all the media attention, hype, propaganda and mutual (presumably) lies, it isn't the largest number of casualties on a non-combatant ship attacked by Israel in high seas. I believe the attack on the USS Liberty holds that little enviable record with more than 30 dead Americans and 170 wounded.

I've got no idea what the story is about, but if the missing body gets dug up on the location he gave the police, wouldn't that be a good indicator of at least more than just random talk on his part?

I knew it, the Mayans were wrong. 2013 it is then... Time to stock up on matches, canned food and bottled water? If it hits Earth like an oversized EMP grenade, we might want to practise living without internet and computers for a while. Thinking about it, those were actually the "good" old days

Well, I got as far as . Adding a few modifiers to my favourite equipment might come in handy. Mind you, I like to hold on to favourite equipment, even if it isn't the most cheesy stuff. My ranger played most of the game with a scimitar +1

Try this; http://www.thieves-guild.net/index.php?pid=462 It worked! Well, off to a good start. My very own shield, two long bows and a short sword (before I realised it was working) Edit: Edit to say "Thanks"

*Cough* Can anybody explain to me how crafting works in SoZ? I've crafted the most wondrous stuff in NWN2 and MotB, but it completely eludes me how it is supposed to work in SoZ. It's like the the instructions just tells me, "you just craft stuff, how hard can it be?". I've carried two scores recipees, a mule cohort full of dead animal parts and the equivalent of a medium sized nations treasury in gems, rings, necklaces etc. all over Samarach (sp?) and The Sword Coast and I still haven't figured out how to use it

Moved to proper section...

It is. Denmark, New Zealand and Australia are the countries I've lived in the last decade. Denmark lack stability, which means it's possible, but I wouldn't count on it

I've got 3 teams in the tournament, but I would be surprised if they made it further than the initial round. Still, I might be pleasantly surprised

You really need to work on your bias, otherwise you can't hate this next gen abomination properly Seriously. They brought this series back for... a cartoonish fps starring the black blob from startrek as the antagonist? Hey, I've done my civic duty and hated this game duly from page one of this thread:

SoZ gets awesomer and awesomer for every day I play it Beyond Good and Evil is fun so far. I'm struggling a bit with the interface and the lack of easily accessible save functionality. Overall, not too bad. Devil May Cry 4... well, it is a nice brainless action game and your protagonist at least appears male and not suffering from random bouts of "emo-ness". So far that is. The over the top action is fun, but I still don't understand the sillyness that is the oversized phallic symbols they need to swing around to enforce their dominance over their surroundings

This thread needs more pictures (tunnel vision not required)...

Just like when painting your floor. Start in the middle and then work your ways towards the corner. Oh, wait...

Still playing SoZ. I can now travel between Samargol and Crossroad Keep, finally finishing some old quests I've been playing a bit of Devil May Cry 4 too since I've developed a bit of a craving for action games again. Reinstalled and started playing Beyond Good and Evil for the less action, more adventure type entertainment. Who would have thought taking pictures of wildlife could be fun

Wasn't there somebody once who claimed they could do climate analysis based on ice core samples from arctic areas?
