... Besides Dark Raven?

I like the Brazilian one. Wait ... what was the question?

... Because you like to play games on more than one platform at once.

(Arranged) marriages are still legal for (girls) aged fifteen in Sicily, with the parents' consent.

That is exactly what we've been led to believe, so it's good to have it independently confirmed. Tune in next time: same Bat Time, same Bat Channel ..!

The juxtaposition of these two comments was at once humorous and also quite disturbing.

So, you'd be pleased with a NOT well thought-out sequel? * can, floor; open; worms, everywhere *

It's okay if she tells you she's over 18. (Or at least that's what I head from Ed-D'Oh.)

Cruise ships can be a fantastic way to travel. Be aware that, to stave off boredom, generally food is provided in all forms and overabundances. (My mother goes on a cruise at least every year. Yes, she is nearly eighty, but she would out-powerwalk you and swims everyday: last year she went on a walking tour of Tuscany.) Anyway, be warned that most people are older on a ship; some people retire and cruise around the world. As for whether you'll like it, that depends on the ship, the culture of the crew and how much you are shelling out. Ships travel at night (there is little danger of seasickness out to sea, though November, if memory serves, is a stormy time in the Mediterranean: wasn't it late September when Xerxes's armada was dashed against the coast at Artemision?) and pull into port for the day, so you're best advised to plan your shoreleave to dash about and see everything. Personally, I'd travel the Greek Isles by yacht (they are readily hired, including pilots) and spend a week or two just sailing around. But I like sailing. I think it might be be the rainy season, too, in November.

After giving the experience of The Lord of the Rings trilogy (Special Extended Edition) to my friend, we have embarked on the (even more Hurculean investment, in time if nothing else) task of watching the Appendices. Just watched the From Book to Vision (over four hours), and next up will be the second (of the first film) From Vision to Reality. What I found (this time through) is that watching these is perhaps even more interesting than the films; long after the trilogy is regarded as one would look at Gone With the Wind, The Wizard of Oz or Ben Hur nowadays, these document the epic geekiness of Jackson and his remarkable achievements (the list of props, costumes, weapons, latex prosthetics and everything else that had to be invented for the films is just extraordinary).

The right monitor has a picture of of the desktop, which has two monitors; the right monitor has a picture of the desktop ... infinite regression!

Evian is pretty chalky, too; the main reason why I don't use it in my kettle.

Jumpman 3!

That's just after the introduction of the characters; I'd recommend re-watching it from the beginning as there is some (fifteen-twenty minutes or so) of good stuff.

If I can hear the voices in your head, does that make me crazy too? (Crazier than you, or less crazy?)

^^What he said.

A wooden Bender? clickie!

Laser beams from the eyes!

Yeah, it sounds like the PC (from the OC, if you like) wakes up .

Good mods.

I'm playing it without fan patches. The only awkward bits are the statues, so far. Zombies are zombies, after all. Do you recommend any fan texture mods?

Psst. They aren't targeted at you, they're for the others.

I haven't read up on ClipMap/MipMapping yet, but I'd be interested to see the real advantages ... especially now that the latest GPUs have unified architectures.

Gives a whole new meaning to "Battle of the Sexes". :D

no, but stupid CDMA phones will continually search for a network and burn themselves out in the process... grrr. razr = crap. You could not give me a Motorola phone I can't stand their OS. Actually I did know that the risk is negligible: it's the vapour that's flammable, not the liquid. (Good old exploding Hollywood cars.) What? You mean you didn't issue special "Y2K Certified" mercury bulb t-stats?!?!11!! You missed a big opportunity there ..!
