  1. Very unlikely to happen, my grey hair is a dead give away Yes. I don't vote (I don't have citizenship). In the case of the airport, yes. I accept it as a price to pay if I insist on flying. I need to fly as part of my job, I can live happily ever after without a video game. A slight difference. Here I can exercise my free will and chose not to subject myself to it
  2. *confused* Now my reply to posts which no longer exist don't even make sense. Where did you move them? Uhh... was that a question to me? I didn't move anything "away", I moved something here from elsewhere (from Gromnir, Blue and Tigranes).
  3. ...moved a few wayward posts here, which seemed to have lost their way into another thread... They might be on some previous page now though. Bonus replayability value of this thread
  4. It looks that the original topic was abandoned a while ago. Continued speculation about Biowares marriage with Securom here: http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=49658
  5. Hanging out too much with Volourn again? Not really doing much these days, just alternating between work and sleep.
  6. It's the same thing in Denmark. Only movies/cartoons for young kids are dubbed. You sort of "grow up" with subtitles and original languages. It has the added benefit of making it easier to pick up stuff like English in school, when you are used to watch english language movies with subtitles
  7. For me it is a sense of violation of my privacy. The same thing as when you are under camera surveillance in a taxi or a public place. Besides that, the majority of the games in my cupboard is from companies that are no longer around. If those games had only been playable through online activation... *shiver* As for Securom and other things invented to insult the paying customer, I've experienced on my own body, that some of the games I have doesn't like my drives and only runs if tampered with. Things like that doesn't exactly endear them to me
  8. Gorth I scratched my name from the list of potential buyers...
  9. That one, and the enemy instant (re)spawning, which makes your tracking skill worthless just about every place where it could have been useful
  10. I sure that a smart guy like you can do that without the implied personal insults...
  11. You had me worried there for a moment Deraldin... that would have left me with the oldest and slowest computer on these forums :ninja10:

    Food Thread!

    I sure can The Aussies still have a thing or two to learn about coffee making from their cousins across the Tasman.
  13. And the groove goes on and on... http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=49643
  14. Start of previous thread: http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=49343 End of previous thread http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?sh...5&start=495 Last song listened to: Iron Maiden - Hallowed be thy Name (from Live after Death)
  15. A rather apt description. The game does that to you I'll probably give it a go again once I finish Fallout 2
  16. Which is our sluggy friends way of saying "congratulations"
  17. Finished playing Fallout 1. It has been too long since I played that one. I even missed the Master, only remembering that he is somewhere underneath the Cathedral, not the military base :blush10: Decided to have go at Fallout 2, this time with the "Restoration Patch" 1.1 downloaded from the link at NMA. No matter what I did (yes, I did follow the installation instructions and deleted the patch000 file), the game wouldn't let me exit Arroyo without crashing/hanging, so I removed the mod again. Now I am at Klamath, looking for Vic.

  19. I had help (thanks Sand...) figuring out how to bring back the strategy camera mode of NWN2 pre-MotB Which, if I remember correctly, is very much like the camera in NWN1. It centers on what you have currently selected and rotates around it.
  20. Privacy -> Ad Blocking -> Custom Button -> Animations
  21. Do you have "Play Animations in Web pages" checked in your advanced browser settings? Some kind of privacy software installed? I seem to remember that my ZoneAlarm Pro has an option to block that kind of "intrusive" visuals.
  22. Bought a handful of "nice price" DVD's yesterday. Watched two of them... Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer. Not much to say about it, good easily digestable fun not requiring any cerebral action on my part. Tora! Tora! Tora! - I like some those old WWII movies. My first thoughts after watching it was: Wow, makes "Pearl Harbour" look like the poor cousin, doesn't it?
  23. All the best just got back after the celebration beer. i successfully defended my dissertation today. in exactly 3 weeks, i'll be posting (for one day) as drtaks. man i feel relieved. thanks, gorth. mark Woohoo! Congratulations Dr. Taks
