  1. (Lots of political metaphor and verisimilitude, too.)
  2. There are some pretty weird monsters ...
  3. But Finland is hosting the Eurovision next week ..!
  4. I agree that the first Tombraider camera wasn't good compared to later games, BUT, it was a feature of the gameplay to make some of the jumps that little bit harder without the player knowing exactly what they were jumping into ... but it was definitely overdone in the later games, to the point of ruining the mechanism.
  5. Schweppes Indian tonic water (with Quinine)
  6. Tombraider: Angel of Darkness, where obscure camera angles helped the lamentable controls hide the appalling plot and production.
  7. what Edit for Diamond. Me not you Yeah, you pushed-in whilst I was posting! Posting pusher-innerer!
  8. You can run on your hands!
  9. The desert? Or the dessert? "
  10. Predictably unpredictable?
  11. Go for a run and find out. ;p I went to Boot Camp at noon today.
  12. Anyway, here is my result: No use trying to fight it, you're an eight-sided die, a d8. A fine example of simple elegance, the d8 is one of the least appreciated types of dice, and is often neglected. You are known to be quiet and shy, outward traits that conceal viscous sarcasm and mean wit. You are very smart, yet wise enough to hide your intelligence the quicker they found out how smart you are, the sooner they'll put you to work, which is something you can do without. People call you dark and pessimistic, or moody and cynical. You find little point in arguing.
  13. I just read a review of Bioshock (June PC Format) and it really sounds interesting. I think they are trying to emulate the System Shock mood and gameplay, and I think they have used the body-modification mechanism rather well ... time will tell, though, I am genuinely interested.
  14. Upsidedown internal tot carrying is to be commended.
  15. 13.73mb (that's MB, silly arts graduates) MyDesk.PNG ( Number of downloads: 114 )
  16. Yeah the old Diplomacy Games added much to my attachment space. Until I deleted them.
  17. .... No, I would guess that none of the posters have ever "had" a blond. Yes, that is a sound conclusion.
  18. ^^Perils of Posting Under the Influence.
  19. I hear what you're saying, but I was really BORED by some parts of the film. That, or wincing. Noticeably when Toby Maguire was trying to emote.
  20. Under-side-d. (See what I did there?)
  21. That might make sense in some situations. If they were naked and oiled up it would be very difficult for an opponent to grab hold of them. (Ladies, please restrain yourselves at the mental imagies ). I know the fights that were held in the original Olympics involved the contestants stripping and oiling themselves, so they might have brought this into warfair or taken it from their battles. It would also mean that clothing wouldn't be forced into a wound and cause an infection-some duelists in the 17-1800's would fight bare chested so if they were hit their clothing wasn't forced into the wound. Given that most of the wounds in a Greek era battle are likely to have been from penatrating wounds (from spears and arrows), rather than from cuts from swords this would make sense. It could also be that the Spartian armies were meant to move quickly, in which case dropping some of the armour would make sense. The Hopilite/Phalanx formation was intended largely for only short distance warfair-defending homes for the most part-not for treking long distances. Spartans might have left everything but their weapons at home if they needed to be somewhere very quickly. And if that meant they were wearing no armour they might as well have got rid of the clothing before battle as it would have made little difference to the way they could fight. (The Spartans at Thermopylae might have been sent there was quickly as possible, in which case they might have left as much heavy equipment as they could at home so they could move as quickly as possible). Then fighting naked could have been a way for the Spartans to show that they were not afraid of an opponent-'Look, we are so brave/powerful/fearless we don't need armour' or just a way to scare the opposition. The Celts used to fight naked as well to frighten enemies and for the warriors to show their bravery. It is recorded that the Spartans at Thermopyl
  22. So, would that be making a post-apoc game out of a game that suffered an apocalyptic event ... a post-apoc game of a post-apoc game?
  23. Or you could move to where your skills might be saleable ...
