Thread pruned a bit... Just a friendly reminder: Interesting part highlighted in a nice, shiny white colour.

...and I think that is about enough of that. If people has more to contribute about Dantes Inferno, good, if they have more to contribute about their fellow posters, not good. Lets see if people can handle that much freedom of choice [/optimism]

3 actually. Pistol, Bolter and Heavy Bolter (minigun version).Also, no wonder Dan Abnett books are good, he is one of the founding fathers. The storm bolter feels offended by being left out

Stay clear of "Lee Lightener" (sp?). It's not even a real writer, but a synonym for a collaboration between multiple individuals and probably some of the crappiest writing I've ever seen published (the recent space wolf books). The new Sandy Mithcel books are great, as are anything by Dan Abnett. Graham McNeal is a bit hit and miss. His Time of Legend books sucks, but his 40k stuff is Ok. Some of the best books out there are "Only in Death" (it's been at least 25 years since a book gave me goosebumps) and "Legion" (about the Alpha Legion).

I could argue about alt+enter being well-known amongst the masses, but that's not the point. Yes, you can switch to windowed by alt+enter but you can't change the size of the window that way. 640x480 or smaller is quite small on modern displays and to change that you need to stab the .conf file. I knew how to do that and so do many others who have used dosbox before, but how do you expect the avarage joe to fiqure out how to do that? By finding the dosbox readme? The world is full of people who try to find the any button when some prog asks them to push it! I'm not on some hate campaing against GOG or dosbox, I was just wondering where the practicality is. Thats all You could argue that the average Joe shouldn't be using DosBox unless he/she knows how to manually assign Irq and DMA# as well as Vesa and Glide drivers It would be nice if installers asked a few questions in an install wizard like manner and generated the lines in the .conf file. My own favourite is fullscreen=true fulldouble=false fullresolution=original windowresolution=original output=ddraw Especially output has given a lot of headache because it defaults to "surface"

It was only declassified and published by Правда yesterday?

X-Com Apocalypse is a must for tactical combat game fans. Only real competitor is Jagged Alliance 2. Destructable environments for the win!

BG&E was released late 2003, so I wouldn't bet on it Ah, so it is a fairly new game Edit: I.e. too new for dos?

It didn't specifically say "Mike Thorton", only "an Alpha Protocol agent". Maybe any of the Obsidianites has been to Paris lately? Edit: "Orientation training sandbox again for second-stage drills. Sandbox stage has a PR evaluator, who tracks our "visible presence" in-mission."... that was two days before Matthews Rories post about new PR agent Edit2: "Not sure who leaked the Beta Protocol news, superiors are classifying it under Operation: Constantinople. Not Istanbul. Constantinople. " Rumour thread

Start of old thread End of old thread After more than 4 months waiting for a warranty refund, I finally lost patience with Samsung. Sending them a letter with registered mail with my account info and a 7 day deadline to pay up, then I'll file a claim form at the Magistrate Court and drag them through a legal process. Bloody wankers that they are Sounds bad? Family not getting along?

...having visions of cars doing the "miniature mushroom cloud" thing when crashing and their fusion cells ruptures...

You can run Beyond Good and Evil in DosBox? I don't know Beyond Good and Evil Still, I managed to get everything from Master of Orion 2 to the original Tomb Raider to run, so who knows?

DosBox not good enough anymore?

Received some serious ass whooping in Wii Baseball today... learned two lessons: One, I still don't understand Baseball and two, I really need to work on the timing of my pitching

Burn the heathen! What did you expect? I am only a pretend Aussie Vegemite is sort of like a truth serum. Non-Aussies will choke to death on it

Vegemite... not even those girls can make it appetising

Indeed, it would be a hilarious spectacle.. I must admit I have a hard time imagining prisoners rolling their dice and playing their paladins and rogues. Maybe I have an unrealistic view of what kind of people inhabit prisons. Maybe they are playing a party of rogues that got caught by the city guard (damn magic ward went off with a loud wailing siren)? The Waterdeep Wanderers fighting to defend their territory against the Luskan Lowlifes

Flew to Melbourne yesterday for a meeting that turned out to be shorter than planned. A couple of colleagues and I then spent the afternoon testing the beers someplace close to a riverfront (I think). Several beers later it was time to fly home again (they served wine on the plane), so I felt in a strange enlightened mood when I got home

Not so much saw as 'going to see', picked up Inglorious Basterds in the Virgin store at the airport yesterday. I'm going to watch it tonight

Indeed. On a silver platter no less... Thread pruned a bit. Now, if the freeloaders and parasites of the net could kindly wait and at least pretend they are decent people. Like waiting until the official release date?

Thread pruned a bit... Guys, I am sure there are better suited chat lines for sex starved young men out there? Let's try and keep this work safe and "family friendly". No, I can't be bothered to delete all the early attempts at derailing, but try and keep it in mind in future posts

Almost as good (bad) as when you beat the snot out of the main villain, having him crawling on his knees, bleeding satisfactorily to death before you eyes, just to have the game tell you that you have to stop fighting since you don't have a chance of winning and force you to come back another day. Maybe not as bad as poorly designed spawn points, but still. Please, please, let there not be such "fake" boss fights?

Thread pruned a bit. Lets stick to posting game related pics and comments to said pics, not comments about the commenters?

Painkiller, 110% action 0% brains. Good fun I've been thinking about picking up Dark Messiah (heard of a lot of positive responses to the action part of it), but I've only found it bundled with Resident Evil 4 in a "dual pack" so far.
