Maybe we should give the writers a copy of Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Christo ... it may be an old story, but at least it's not the same old story they keep using ...

The background writing looks very solid, which I take as a (pleasantly surprising) good sign. Check out the archives.

I liked the story of Quake II, a lot more than Doom 2.

I think you're being too kind. It sounded like the entire voice track was recorded in chronological-procedural order, and there were no rehersals. Bao-Dur certainly ended better than he began, but I can see why voice actors get $500 an hour ...

No it was a link to FO4.

The latter is more probable than the former, unfortunately.

Isn't that a justification for sleeping with ugly girls? " ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is NO justification for sleeping with ugly girls.

Ender, as apalling as genocide is, you cannot simply dispossess the people who have lived in an area for three thousand years to try to undo the harm: Also, the six-year-old's argument "we were here first" isn't very useful. FACT: the land is deeply contested. The UN was trying create a compromise when it set up Isreal. But everyone needs to compromise to reach a peace, even the Israelis. Come on now. What are we (humanity) trying to achieve here? Peace? Co-existence? Freedom to live life without fear of attack, and threatening no others? I hope so. Revenge is an empty vessel: it does not sate an appetite; it is the spiritual equivalent of drinking sea water. Personally, I would have said that proper integration of the Jewish culture into the countries of the world, as has happened in the US (thankfully) is a much superior strategem than starting a turf war in one of the poorer regions of the world. But there is an Israel, now. And there ought to be a Palestine, too.

The Common People cover really doesn't work for me. I'm listening to Z Scars - Starp tevi un mani <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You don't look at the mantlepiece when you stoke the fireplace ... I'm still listening to this, it's great!

It always seemed to be a favourite watch for people who were just come back from a big night out, still a little wired from the evening ... PS It's

Actually, I think Schwarzenegger is quite a good actor. Try watching Pumping Iron, and tell me he's not a consumate acting professional. Vin Diesel is a worse actor than Jean-Claude Van Damme, and that's saying something. Perhaps Arnie got to be Govenator because he has "it", that indefinable charismatic essence that makes people want to watch a film star (like Al Pacino).

Um, it is a fact that OE, who developed the game, have completed a patch for the high-definition movies and high-fidelity sound. Last time anyone bothered to check, the patch was with LA (presumably for for QA). OE could be sued for libel if they make stuff like that up.

Take it on the chin. Don't whine. Everyone get's a bad ball, or a bad call. Just carry on, regardless. Whinging about it just makes you look like the little kid who doesn't want to be out in the backyard ball game. I grew up in a big family. Holidays were when we all came together and systematically all attacked each of us in order, usually clockwise. Capisce?

Remember "Apathy is Death." ?

Depends if you hold a grudge. Some un-asked for advice? Cop it sweet.

Ah, shucks. :">

Amnesia: the poor writers' crutches.

I thought Peragus wasn't too bad, actually. A little pointlessly long, empty and meandering, but not a bad environment. Again, a lot of potential, just not brought to any satisfying fruition.

There was a thread here about how you can go through the entire game using just the mouse (it was apparently easier in K1 than K2). No keyboard necessary.

It's more hybird cross-breeding, I think.

It is thirty years old. Probably the greatest legacy of the film was the live interview with John Cleese, Michael Palin and the Archbishop of Cantebury on tv, where Mr Palin tore sheets off the shamelessly running-away-and-hiding head of the Anglican church ...

Well, that's alright, then.
