  1. I suddenly feel like Tequila, salt and a lime wedge. Stupid hotel minibar has nothing of the like
  2. Yeah, Bethesda is just as important to providing good crpgs as McDonald is to providing health food. Both commercially successful mind you
  3. Some day, I am going to find that game in a bargain bin somewhere... if for nothing else, then just the music.
  4. Older games... Forbidden Forest for the C64 (followed by a long list of C64 games) Defender of the Crown on the Commodore Amiga (followed by a long list of Amiga games) Recent games... Bloodlines, no contest Fallout/PST IWD Honorable mention: Kotor2 had a pretty decent sound track.
  5. 5 kops of cammomille tea mixed up with two thirds of a bottle of black bacardi rum. That showed my cold who is the boss here. It left
  6. Well, if its to be set in DC, monument avoidance is impossible. The place is rife with them as I assume most country capitals are. I wonder if Canberra is full of monuments...
  7. Perhaps somebody in Paris were rubbing their hands together gleefully at the thought of Royal Navy ships finally being brought down by French arms... mumbling something "Abukir", "Jean Bart" etc. in the process While war is never a pleasant affair, it was one the few modern wars I can remember being "interesting" in that was actually fought between military forces as opposed to stomping on regional dictators and their personal bodyguard/bully boys. Anybody know what the civilian casualties were, compared to military casualties?

    Vesak

    So, you either need to become a Jedi or get a lobotomy to get to paradise? I think I'll go for a few more rebirths before I am ready Happy Vesak to whom it may concern
  9. Tillykke Rosbjerg Nu husker du hvem der var dine venner, ikk?
  10. So, the killing of innocents is perfectly acceptable collateral damage to you?
  11. Muahaha... the only thing left, when everything else is done, will be that one minor issue
  12. *Running in circles around a hole in the ground, yelling "28!" repeatedly...*
  13. "Next time, I will hold the map!" "Oops, forgot to tell you, the warranty on the autopilot expired last week..." "How could that oversized thing squeeze itself out of that tiny wormhole?!?" "Join the Jedi, see the Universe blah blah blah... note to self: Never volunteer for anything again!"
  14. If any non British people wants to participate in the game, they should go look for a copy of Little Book of Mornington Crescent by Tim, Graeme, Barry and Humph on e-bay (I doubt you can find it on Amazon.com anymore).
  15. Ebon Hawk: "This is the Ebon Hawk calling the Death Star... We have you surrounded and the Force is with us, you have no chance. Surrender and we will show you leniency!" Death Star: (sound of a switch being flipped) Bzzzz.... HUMMM.... *CRACKLE!*...
  16. Been seeing too much Clockwork Orange again, have we?
  17. It has Boobies in it Btw. I don't quite get the subtitle of your thread, isn't it CANT Does, not CANT do? Congratulations and may you have a long and interesting career in the world of entertainment I can definitely appreciate it when people takes chances and do things with their lives, instead of just sitting around and daydreaming about it. I've been told stuff like that made the country you currently live in
  18. Lowpoint: Caught a cold. Feeling feverish and a headache the size of, well something very big Highpoint: The weather is nice, the sky is blue and the sun is shining. And, I pre-ordered Tombraider - Anniversay for PC
  19. You could learn something from Singapore then. They have the death penalty for arms possession, drug possession, kidnapping etc. I don't know the numbers, but I would guess they have very few repeat offenders.
  20. There is always Guantanamo bay... On a more serious note, I've always felt uncomfortable with the death penalty for the simple reason that the system is not perfect and innocent people sometimes gets convicted falsely. Sometimes they get released again when proven innocent after all. Very hard to even partially apologise to/recompensate a dead man. Accepting the killing of a few innocents here and there as collateral damage just to "get back" at serious offenders is not good civilised behaviour in my book. As for the actual case, I would like to say that castration and a tattoo on the forehead would do, if it wasn't for the fact that is just as permanent damage to a man as the death sentence. Separating him indefinitely from society does seems like the best solution, but thats just an (my) oppinion from somebody whose only encounter with the legal system is a speeding ticket. Since speeding sometimes is putting other peoples lives at risk, somebody out there would probably also think that it is worthy of the death sentence :ninja10:
  21. Don't nod if it's project Georgia...
  22. Spent Monday and Tuesday working in Sydney all day. Got bored with the Hotel and the entertainment there Monday night, so went for a night walk down to the harbour and a trip around the Opera House. Not sure what the crazy birds flying around over the building were doing, but it looked rather amusing when they were in the upwards pointing spotlights, gliding around in the air. Looked a bit like those old WWII documentaries where they show night bombers being caught in the searchligts. Flew to Adelaide tuesday night and grabbed a rental car, off to the countryside to stay and work for a few days. Im Westen nichts Neues...
  23. Isn't there an option in Windows (possibly depending on version) that allows you to see icons on your desktop or not? Maybe it got toggled somehow? Just speculating on what could match your description.
  24. I installed Kotor2 again... Now just waiting... I'll be a good boy... promise...
  25. Arghhh! That reminds me of my first encounter with Kiwi Cuisine (although that toxic green glowing gunk was called "Vegemite") It would be nice if they just called it by it's right name and said: "Here is our very own most belowed PC games that we can remember right now.". Admittedly, it doesn't sound quite as catchy, but at least it would be honest. If they wanted to be serious about it, they need to separate genre and list a set of rules and criteria up front that they judge each games merits on. As it is, it's just as good as any Obsidian Forum Poll
