  1. In a league of its own
  2. Men in black will come and pick you up in the middle of the night... We are just waiting for confirmation from above to remove all traces of a user once known as "Calax" Edit: Bought myself some TV furniture. Got tired of having it standing around on the floor. Stuff was heavy as . Managed to get bruises, scars and a strained shoulder which still can't be used for any lifting. It sure didn't look that heavy in the store
  3. And you are completely unbiased listening to Herodots version of it? Your description of "Greek" doesn't really make sense when there was no "Greece". Some of the states may be governed the way you describe it, but Sparta sure wasn't
  4. Still waiting for confirmation from a dev or funcroc. If the game is 'M' rated, it is not aimed at the 15 year olds anyway. I think they are aiming for a different group of people.
  5. "The darkness holds no terror for me, demon! I curse you now under the Sign of Ill Omen!" Warlocks channel arcane might wrested from primeval entities. They commune with infernal intelligences and fey spirits, scour enemies with potent blasts of eldritch power, and bedevil foes with hexing curses. Armed with esoteric secrets and dangerous lore, warlocks are clever and resourceful foes. However you came to your arcane knowledge, you need not accept the poor reputation warlocks sometimes endure. You could be a libram-toting scholar captivated by ominous lore, a foot-loose wanderer searching for elusive ultimate truths, a devil-touched hunter using infernal spells to eliminate evil, or even a black-clad mercenary who uses sinister trappings to discourage prying strangers and unwanted attention. On the other hand, you could be a true diabolist using your gifts to tyrannize the weak
  6. Ouch! What game is that?
  7. Saw Die Hard 4.0 Over the top, comic book realism, plot holes that could sink the titanic and enough cliches to build a wall of them from Adelaide to Melbourne (exaggerated for effect). Oh yeah, and an incredibly fun film to watch too

    And on that incredibly tasteless note, we seem to have reached the end...
  9. Sorry, I was off to a bad start on the new year too where germs are concerned.
  10. The thing that bothers me most in ToB is the combat. The rest isn't so bad and it was nice getting an ending to the story. But the sheer feeling of inflation of values when peasants are armed with Pitchfork +3 and priceless gems are strewn about, it hurts the "immersion". Highlevel campaigning is just not my thing. Mask of the Betrayer suffers a bit from the same things despite having many other good features (IMNSHO).
  11. I like his little "blurb" at the end... "It's a shame I'm not reviewing Killzone 'cos I'm trying to end up with a review for every letter in the alphabet and I haven't got a K yet" "I've got eight S's, stop making games beginning with S you ****s"
  12. Isn't there some point in the "Repair" process where it offers you to log in and authenticate yourself? I seem to remember having used that to save documents from a disk with bad blocks. It sucks having to use the dos prompt though, navigating through C:\DOCU~1 etc.
  13. Still playing BG2. Finished BG2 proper and brought my party into ToB. Sighing deeply I quit the game in disgust, since I just can't bring myself to play this ridiculous part of the game Examined some of my old games of Europa Universalis III. A fairly fresh game of playing Muscowy or an old game of being the Byzantine Empire. Funny situation in the latter... the Kingdom of Quebec is under pressure from the Empire of Haiti, being completely surrounded and outnumbered. Don't ask me how that came to be.
  14. There was/is still a lot of those. About as entertaining as "infomercials" Zoids, Power Rangers, you name them. All aimed at disposable income. I did watch a lot of those old TV series on and off in my younger days, Knight Rider, Space 1999, MASH 4077, I dream of Jeannie, Blakes 7, Macgyver, The Avengers, The Persuaders plus a bunch of German stuff that is probably not known in English speaking countries.
  15. Probably the best starting point, what is your budget and is there anything you can salvage/reuse from your old system. Do you intend complete instant replacement or can you build it over time and spread the costs (I usually do the latter)?
  16. Isn't the only soft RAID 0 you can do in Windows a striped volume in the Disk Management Console? I think for the rest, you need hardware specific software/drivers for your controller(s). Too long since I played around with that stuff on my home pc
  17. The article didn't mention anything about which part of the chinese coast the ship was spying on. They could return the favour and send chinese navy vessels withinn 125 miles of the US coast for a bit of snooping and see if the favour was returned
  18. You are going to join the uncountable legions of the BOS and fight the endless hordes of Super Mutants of course
  19. Baldurs Gate 2. Just made my way out of the Underdark and started gathering allies. Still need to get the wayward bard from his planar prison and see if I can't kick Kangaxx' butt (not that a floating skull really has one) before heading for Suldanessellar (sp?). I plan to take my party to the end of Throne of Bhaal... it's just that, high level play is SOO horribly boring
  20. Which process does your task manager say takes all the cpu time?

    What did you do, kill her Norwegian Blue? I am not exactly an expert on girls, but I have noticed that they seem to have this deep seated need for constant communication. Quite frustrating really, as it makes them hard to work together with. They want to communicate, I switch off my phone, they get angry...

    Boys

    I guess that is what was to be expected when leaving it to the boys to keep the place clean. Spam everywhere
  23. Heh, take that Funcroc (he probably doesn't speak Portuguese). Nice You might need to contact the magazine for written permission to show anything from it though.
  24. One could almost think you did that deliberately So, what happened to the other guy? I am always in favour of drunk drivers becoming involuntary organ donors May your recovery be fast and uncomplicated
  25. Hey, you still got a thumb left! My dishwasher broke down... I am not panicking yet. Not until I run out of dishes
