Thoughts about Game awards
I am not sure that the Academy Awards really has the same prestige as it might have had once. Maybe it is still well regarded amongst the peers in the industry?

Modding Was Better When it was Underground
Thread pruned slightly. It looks better without some of the pointless flamebait

EA Releases Tool To Bypass SecuROM Limitations
I don't know, now I might actually grab Spore and Mass Effect some day, at the very least when they hit the bargain bin

First robot controlled exclusively by living brain
Wow, somebody put points in their Science Skill allright! Actually, it reminds me more of WH40K's "Servitors". A way of putting irredeemable criminals to good use for society.

Thoughts about Game awards
Marketing Never underestimate the power of adding tonnes of meaningless "accolades" to your ads. Gorthman 3D (2009) GotY 2009 - Nervous Gamers Therapy GRoup Top Pick - Adventurous Investors Online Most promising Game 2009 - freecell-addicts.com Most promising non-working game engine 2009 - Pwned! Magazine Etc... People don't really read that stuff, but you know if you can't dazzle people with brilliance you can dazzle them with BS

Akinator
Whoopi Goldberg, Baron von Munchausen and Alexander the Great sure didn't fool it. Nor did the current US president Now, if they could extend it to narrow down the location of missing keys, socks etc...

I've started having a recurring dream that...
And here I thought it was about getting older and older and looking back at the missed bus stops in life. The bus never turns back. It's all in the interpretation

Movies you have seen recently
The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Season 1. It was an "impulse buy" and I quite enjoyed it. Acutally, I enjoyed very much. Now I just have to see if the stores will put season 2 on the shelf some day for me to buy >_

New Dev Posters?
Since new questions about crates has arisen.

Will there be crates?
http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?showt...crates&st=0 Crates, and everyone's role involving said crates, discussed at length. Indeed Lets resurrect the old thread instead. Lots of answers I sense in that one. Powerful it is in its information. Feel it you can

'wanted' Sort of a b-movie without the charm of b-movies. If it wasn't for Angelina Jolie, I wouldn't bother to watch it a few more times

My brute
Wow, Tango of Doom Anyway, I am crushed. My poor brute needs some rest. Revenge will have to come another day. I think I need to keep a record of my grudges

New screenshot from Alpha Protocol!
I wonder what dialogue stance that was

Octopus
Yum!... SPAM, and lots of it. I wonder if it really goes that well with octopus rings though

DRM Thread
Same here, even the low cost DVD type "boxes" and printable pdf manuals are preferable to just being a customer number in somebody elses system

DRM Thread
Yes. All you need to do with Steam is right click -> install and that's all the interaction that is required on your part. It takes care of the rest. Of course if you happen to have a 60GB (or lower) that can make it a pain in the butt for the rest of the month. Try half that size and welcome to the rest of the world. It would take 2 months to install your games and no internet for you

anybody have any good trailers for upcoming movies
That "Star Wreck" trailer didn't look too bad either.

New sekret project confirmed?
I think part of the problem is, Bethesada is just about the only company that tries to make "crpgs" of the free roaming kind (the Gothics being the only other ones that spring to mind). One day, they are going to wear out the poor Gamebryo (sp?) engine. I would love to see other companies, Obsidian included, try their hand at such a project.

When life was simpler
The paper you linked to was "flawed" because they couldn't get their numbers right, so they segregated out a group of people and even then they only got partial correlation between their hypothesis and the measured results, hence me being a bit sarcastic I think men and women are born with not only different physiology but also different psychologial makeups, hence what works for one doesn't always work for another. Try looking for studies of boys with behavioural problems that were raised the same way as girls. Both as infants and adults, the sexes have (as a result of evolution) different inbred traits, not at least how they express themselves. There is no excuse for not offereing equal opportunities though, i.e. same rights, same pay for same work etc. because that is indeed a construct made by society and shouldn't be in one (society) that consider itself "elightened". I think I made it my lifes goal to make a mockery of the selfish gene and try to identify everytime I think something that could in reality be the Homo Somethingveryoldus speaking through our racial memory.
