  1. Well, I can tell a Singaporian customs agent from a Californian customs agent. The latter is genetically engineered to have no sense of humour
  2. Hey, I've *literally* been around the world twice. I'm not getting any younger
  3. She had the best tail of any npc ever
  4. Rumored to be a wonderful place. Home of Peter Jackson! well... it's alright... it's know as "windy" wellington for a reason. which is really annoying when you have hair as long as mine (it's long enough to tuck into my belt now) coz it flies all over the place It's one of the most beautiful places in the world. I lived there for 2.5 years :cool: If I could pick any one place in the world to stay and grow old, it would be there. Alas, job opportunities are just more attractive across the Tasman
  5. Born and raised in Denmark. At the moment living in Adelaide, Australia :cool:
  6. The violent nature of chess: http://www.chessbase.com/eventarticle.asp?newsid=2000
  7. What do you mean by full contact? Another example of full contact sports: http://www.kungfu.net/sanshou.html Other definitions here: http://www.answers.com/topic/contact-sport (search for "Full-contact sport" on the page). A full-contact sport is similar to a semi-contact sport, but which contains physical contact between the combatants with the aim of causing a knockout or otherwise rendering the opponent inable to continue the match. Injuries are much more common in full-contact sports since the amount of protective gear is often reduced, and the techniques are executed at full power. Makes Chess much more interesting
  8. Happy birthday :cool: I'm sure that Arkan, being the nice and generous guy that he is, will give away any surplus birthday greetings to the needy and deserving
  9. You obviously haven't tried full contact, real-time chess :("
  10. Sledge Hammer, meet Testicle. Testicle, meet Sledge Hammer... *Clonk!* I miss this game

    What's the penalty for throwing a BigMac
  13. I liked the firendly fire accidents. Made it more "real" somehow. Sounds silly, I know, but it made me think where I went, to avoid getting into crossfire between teammates and enemies. If just my team mates would have shown the same consideration every now and then As for the control over team memmbers, FO2 got it exactly right for my taste. Give them general orders, limited by their personality and let them do their own thing. It felt like you and a party, Not you being a 7 headed hydra wielding 3 guns, 2 knives, 1 flamethrower & a gauss rifle at the same time.
  14. In no particular order (besides numerical, integer, lowest to highest designation) 1 3 5 6 8 9 10 16
  15. *Sniff*... *Sniff*... That smell is slightly familiar. Has a whiff of Interplay (R.I.P.) about it :ph34r:
  16. That's less than 0.000955725 Nautical Miles Poor you :'(
  17. Images of politicians wearing tin foil hats spring to mind...
  18. You are all midgets 1.90m btw I got a little brother who is also 1.90m and the youngest one is 2m
  19. So the dutch can't really call their country "Nederland" (low-land) anymore, now can they ? Welcome to the new Holland, the "Highland"
  20. A few personal favourites... Joy You dont' say Boooring Makes me sick This thread is doomed You are joking, right ? I'm Danish Brilliant idea Work in progess it seems
  21. I'm pretty sure the last time I checked, there were still a few progress bars (light sabers) at the bottom of the list showing 0%. They are "gone" now (as in left the 0% mark) ... Can we play it now ? Please ? (w00t)
  22. I think the problem with your machine is the way it works. It's not a teleporter, but a clone and disintegrate one machine you've got there. I'm not a matematician, but if there is a delay between having cloned yourself, the verification process and the disintegration of your original self, you will for a short amount of time exist as a doubleganger of yourself in two places at the same time. A teleporter is for me, a machine that actually teleports you, i.e. moves you over a distance. The move doesn't have to be instantanious, just presumably faster, safer, whatever. For the sake of argument about the definition of the *I*, you might as well just have stuck to a simple clone example. If a machine could duplicate you as a snapshot in time, with matter, exact configuration of electrical charges in yoiur braincells, everything pretty much, which one of them would be the *I*. You would most likely just go nuts when you are faced with the paradox of being half the person you were before
  23. I wonder if I should tell what an independend danish politician (and comedian) once got elected for :"> As in really truly elected and spent some years in parliament...
  24. Of which the first was an update to the online manual (if I remember correctly) and the second was strictly an attempt to fix some hardware incompabilities. They could easily have fixed some of the most glaring bugs, like typos etc. but I have some suspicions about contractual obligations to keep the xbox and pc version identical content wise. Just imagine the wailing and teeth gnashing if the patch had actually fixed ingame bugs for the pc users and not the xbox users
