Start of old thread End of old thread Bought a few handfuls of DVD movies since start of the last thread. Haven't really had time to watch any of them

Hey, you never know which asteroid comes with a "3rd planet from The Sun" as its delivery address Disclaimer: I've never read the text in question, so I wouldn't know how it fit into the context of the rest of the events to take place.

Gah! You're right. Austria is not Germany. What's the difference between the two anyway? It's a bit like asking, what is the difference between the USA and Canada ...or how do you sum up 800 years of history in a few lines? Short version, Austria is a country and has been for very long time. Germany is an amalgam of a bunch of other germanic countries (Austria excluded), which lives together in an empire/federation (and is only a few centuries old). Otto von Bismark is often credited with leading the unification wars. After Prussia and Austria had conquered most other german speaking nations as "allies", they went to war against each other over the spoils. Prussia won out in the end and a united "Germany" was the result. I am sure Morgoth can add more details/correcting my mistakes. Austria had for many centuries close ties to Spain and The Netherlands/Burgundy through family ties (the Habsburgs).

Gene manipulated tomatoes? It is probably going to be something we eat. It either makes us all glow in the dark before we perish or it turns us all sterile over a period of 200 years.

Either way it still is same price, just like 50 bucks a year would equal 4.20 bucks a month (I think) The difference can be all important to a company, especially if they have large running costs like salaries. The keyword is 'cash flow'

It's called "population control"

Playing Dead Space again... finally made my way out of the military vessel (like 25+ reloads later). On a side note, Dead Space is the only game where I suffered death by hentai so far. Damn tentacles

There is a nice little utility for download here which can give you a "second opinion" on which OpenGL version you are running. Just to see if it is Kotor2 that scans your driver wrongly or if you have a Gfx card that indeed doesn't support OpenGL versions higher than 1.1.

Humans were once bred as zombie food, but then they rebelled against their masters and tried to remove all traces of their former overlords. Now they are just a vague racial memory that haunts us a primal instinctive fear of darkness and cemetaries

So, "You've only got half a brain" isn't even a real insult anymore Amazing indeed. Makes you wonder how much of our potential remains undiscovered because we normally don't consciously use quite a bit of our brains capacity.

Hmm... might have to try the extension cord thing for my joystick. It occasionally fails to work because it doesn't get enough power from the hub in my monitor. Said monitor hub is amusingly enough is detected as a "mass storage device", which I can eject (although I haven't seen it jump off my table yet). *Notes down: Go shopping for USB extension cord*

It is safer to assume that everybody (and I mean everybody) is lying to a smaller or larger degree to further their own interests, whatever they may be. If you can dillute the lies by adding a quantity of truth, so much the better, makes for an easier sell

So close... Time to go back and play Dead Space I think

Maybe the condescending tone and the implied insult doesn't sit well with everybody? Used to to do lan parties when living back in the old country. Great fun they were too. Never got into the internet gaming much apart from muds. It just isn't the same playing with "strangers" (as if there were much else on the internet). Diablo wasn't really my thing, nor was rts games, but the fps's, the simple racing games and other small obscure action games were a blast. Anybody ever tried a Blubber Volley tournament?

Yes Started the seasonal chemical warfare against all things green in my garden. Damn rain, makes stuff grow. Drought makes for less work.

The high pitched noise that prevents you from hearing what game he is a designer on?

For the benefit of a couple of young men taking childish delight in discovering a new word: **** (twt) n. 1. Vulgar Slang The vulva. 2. Offensive & Vulgar Slang A woman or girl. The American Heritage

Food for thought... I wonder if Morgoths cover doesn't capture the "essence" of the game better than the official box art

Thread title changed and thread pruned a bit. Lets explore the depths of human depravity rather than an Englishmans play with obscure profanity?

I like books as a way of passing time while flying. Both fiction and technical stuff will do

Would this qualify as "cruel and unusual punishment" of forumites? I am not a fan of cut scenes, but then, despite all the info, the whispering and the guess work, I still don't know what kind of game really AP is. Sounds like it doesn't matter either as long as it is fun to play

You should have asked them to embroider your initials on her head

eh... i don't know. witcher had lots of little stuff that you collect that has some use, but ultimately is not a necessity. It seems to be at least somewhat influenced by your experience and choice of difficulty setting. If you need alchemy to survive, you better start using those hunter/gatherer instincs and collect every flower and herb along the way If you are good enough (or picked easy difficulty), you can mostly ignore the stuff you pick up, apart from particularly valuable hardware. Just to keep your cash flow in the black.
