  1. *pauses, for reflection, in headlong rush to buy the game* Moral equivalence from Eldar regarding necrophilia? I'm confused. Surely there should be rivers of blood and wives turning to pillars of salt?
  2. Not so much of the "old", thank you.
  3. Jealousy is better than envy. Jealousy says "I like what you want and I want it too." Envy says "I want what you've got, and if I can't have it, neither can you." Hitachi bought the hardrive business off IBM a few years ago, didn't they? They should be pretty reliable. Seagate are good, always have been.
  4. Any one you might wish to use.
  5. Abusing the artifacts, or the people?
  6. but... bible study class sounds good to me... And thanks for the critiques you guys gave my report. But why does it look like TADF is taking over TOMBS? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sssshhh! Super secret undercover plots cannot be revealed in unprotected transmission!
  7. Yes. My favoutites must survive.
  8. Cold Fear. :ph34r: <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
  9. Fiftieth State. I wonder if they'll start with the US territories, after that? Guam is game number 51 ...
  10. You read about the Christopher Lambert movie, in the book you found in a dusty corner?
  11. I thought that was called Nikita.
  12. Induct him into the simulation? A fate worse than bible study class ...
  13. Small ante-up should suffice in the first instance. Then a short interview ...
  14. Resolution doesn't make much difference: it's all the shadows in Chaos Theory that slow everything down. You'll have to switch off all the eye candy, and even then it'll only make a few fps difference. Or else wait whilst a slideshow flickers in front of you as you wait for your keypresses to have some effect ...
  15. Cold Fear. :ph34r:
  16. They're fast, but they're noisy.
  17. Hawaii is the Pole Star above the horizon ...
  18. I'm glad we all agree.
  19. Hope you've got a good rig. I really enjoyed the first one, then I bought Chaos Theory and I got a bit bored after a few missions ... I'll definitely go back, but the resource drain is significant (I was down to under 25fps) which didn't help.
  20. Well, I would suggest that the options are there (for the "Lawful Good" character to axe-murder all the liitle children in the route to the dragon he must deal with): certainly this would have a dramatic effect on the PC's alignment ... :D I don't think the game's engine is there to nanny the gamer, merely to provide the framework for people to do anything. Reputation, I feel, helps balance the alignment choices made by the character; this can be augmented by some sort of historical "background" quality as well, for in-game NPC biases (oh, you're a dwarf: we elves hate your kind).
  21. Pilots on commercial flights don't want every gorram curtain-ring salesman whittering on in a quad-band hail of smarmy gibberish whilst they are flying, in case the very powerful transmitters in the 'phones aren't prevented by their shielding from interfering in the cockpit's avioinics. A private pilot (or a commercial pilot) using their own telephone won't interfere with the critical phases of the flight path (typically take-off and landing) because the pilot ought to be aware of these times and manually overide the slim probability with their prerogative and its off switch.
  22. Beyond Belief Whether or not you call yourself religious there are things you believe in. The notion that humans are essentially benevolent, perhaps
  23. What about studying the mathematical relationships of the face after deciding it is beautiful, and discovering a pattern? A beautiful symmetry of numerical precision that echoes the viage in its putritude. Ex post facto a posteriori deductive reasoning can be acceptable, especially with a perfect abstraction like mathematics.
