Gorth

This one prefer games (just like movies) in their original language. If the original language is English, then yes, the English version is the preferred one. I played The Witcher in it's original language (with English subtitles) too.

Um. You do realize I'm American, right? Um. You do realize that you're not the only person in the thread, right? I was somewhat thinking of Gorth when I made my comment, but since he's thinking of revoking your voting rights, I'll withdraw my comment. You've piqued my curiosity... where did I accuse Americans of cultural arrogance? By calling a remake inferior to the original?

Um. You do realize I'm American, right? You are apparantly not "American" enough. Prepare to have your voting privileges revoked There are countries whose culture, ideas, humour etc. that you "get" and there some that you don't. I can e.g. usually relate to British humour but not to American humour. Not because one is necessarily better, but as a Dane I have more in common with a next door neighbour and can relate to the things being poked fun at much easier than something that has the gulf of an ocean between us. Sometimes it is as simple as that. As another example, no matter how hard I try, I'll never understand Anime, that is just too alien for me. Hundreds of millions of people disagree though, so I'll just consider it *my* loss, because I don't understand it... and so on and on >_

That's because she wasn't a dwarf. Everybody knows that dwarves are the ones with Scottish accents. dwarves is scottish? we always imagine 'em with a brooklyn accent. Maybe brooklynsque descended from scottish? I couldn't tell you, since I've never been to Brooklyn. I have no idea if they speak "dwarven" or not At least the Scots have dwarf tossing as one of their national oddities (together with whiskey swilling and caber tossing), so that might be why I made that connection first Pointless US remakes... *shiver* I had the misfortune of watching an episode of Stephen Kings version of "Kingdom Hospital". It was a great little Danish miniseries that should have remained dead and buried after 1994 >_ There are some things that just doesn't translate well to other languages, because the entire cultural and social context is missing for the reader/listener.

I must have the world edition of that atlas. It really sounds like a badly designed fantasy world!

Grabbed Tombraider: Underworld down at EB Games today. Got to play a bit this evening, making it past the giant squid and looking at Thors left glove. Good fun so far

Have you seen "Final Destination"? Sounds like he had it in for you no matter what.

Ok, thread pruned. My apologies to those posters who meant well and lost posts as "collateral" damage. Lets just repeat one important thing: Let's see if we can do this without me having to call in the firing squad?

There is indeed. Sounds like somebody needs to take a break and relax. Lets give this one a time out for a short moment...

Tried his signature too: "Pure Gorth. Pure Power." Good to hear that you are getting that stuff out of your system taks. I would hate the thought and suspicion of not being in total control of my mood, emotions, feelings etc. and always wonder if it was me or the chemicals thinking. It would probably drive me nuts. Hang on in there

Congratulations on your new rig I did wonder what that WEI was about when I got my own computer assembled, since my Vista wouldn't let me as much as run solitaire without doing that silly speed test first. I wonder how high they can go?

NWN2: Storm of Zehir is NOT out!... Well, not down here. 11th of December said the guy at EB Games when I went to check today Maybe they are shipping it on a raft, drifting on the Pacific currents >_

I used to do the same thing with my Commodore64 powersupply on cold winter evenings I know liquid cooling is not to everyones taste, but besides the way lower noiselevels, it did lower the case temperature as well compared to fans. My 4870x2 doesn't "radiate" heat the same way it used to before when working hard.

I don't know about the Asus, but when running The Witcher on my Sapphire, then I can keep a cup of coffee warm on top of my external radiator

Is that the same Ribsmasher as you have on your soccer team?

Hey, that was nicely spotted That would make a nice question for an interview someday, regarding inspiration.

...and I think that particular modus operandum of debating ends here. On a related note, I believe one of the obstacles to your suggestion is, that they can not receive any help that could in any way be construed as "financial support" or "monetary contribution", not even indirectly, or they'll have LA's lawyers breathing down their necks. Somebody hosting their forums for free is probably already pushing their luck

It's the Danish intelligence service trying in secret to undermine Canadian stability, in order to divert interest away from Hans Island. Tune in to this channel next to read about the renewed independence efforts of Quebec

You make on-line shopping sound like a viable alternative Edit: Being ready for Christmas? Not at the moment. Crossing fingers and hoping that those silly buggers in Bangkok vacates the airpoirt before that, or I'll be stuck with a worthless flight ticket to Europe (since it has Bangkok as a stopover on the trip).

Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, White Wolf, Arcanum (Troika's), Battletech, Heavy Gear, Call of Cthulhu ect. So many materials out there. If Obsidian managed to grow balls of brass after the release of AP and Aliens, they could look back to review one of the highly hyped but dropped IP during the Black Isle days: Torn. I don't know Heavy Gear and Arcanum wasn't really my cup of tea from it's description (I am not a steampunk fan), but the rest would make for a nice change. I am still dying of curiosity about what the project (insert state name) was that made an appearance as a forum section and then disappeared again was.

The facial animations and especially lip synching needs work though. It would bother me almost as much as if they had put Oblivion style lockpick minigames in it I suspect it is outtakes from work in progress, but it looks like a badly dubbed Hong Kong karate movie (the lip synching). Some actual dialogue choices would have been nice to see

Lara's posterior?
