Dragon Age
Ooh, so that is why they added the plant woman, that is for the tree-huggers! Maybe her favoured enemy is "vegetarians"? I am getting curiouser and curiouser about this game, and that despite the cheap marketing ploys, not because of. Since Kotor1 was my last Bioware game, I think I could survive another dose by now

net neutrality
Sounds like the place bad people go when they die on the internet I remember hearing the name before, can't remember who mentioned it though. It's probably better to get all the information before passing judgement on AT&T's actions.

How will it end?
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).

How will it end?
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.

K3 AND K4
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'

What are you playing now
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

Need OpenGL 1.4 Drivers?
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.

Girl with half of a brain
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

Girl with half of a brain
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.

Sounds simple
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*

Press behaviour
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

Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 Will Not Have LAN Support
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?

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

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

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

I got to play AP yesterday :-)
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
