  1. Recently completed video games

    Interesting questions, but is the technical director the right man to ask? I'm seriously wondering; I know roles – maybe in games especially – are not that clearly defined, but from the title it seems this guy would have more knowledge about shaders and asset streaming than themes and story.
  2. Are you high on drugs? Less assholey edit: Why do you consider painting and sculpturing to be irrelevant as art forms? And photography? Your post makes me think you've either thought about these things a lot, or not at all.
  3. Happy Fat Tuesday!

    Yeah, those are hard to do right, and it quickly becomes just a mess of whipped cream that engulfs your face. There's a lot of things you do with them to make them delicious, though.
  4. Recently completed video games

    What in the hell? DR2 was impossible! What manner of superpowers did the DLC costumes give?
  5. The Idle Thumbs Acheivements Leaderboard

    I like how they casually point out an inherent flaw in their system. I am now going to buy all the most horrible and boring games that nobody wants to play.
  6. CD Burning-related question

    Have you tried actually burning the files, or are you just looking at the file sizes?
  7. The part about having to sit in a corner looking at the wall was fuck
  8. The Wire

    Holy moly, I had never even considered that was possible.
  9. Books, books, books...

    I'm not a film expert, and I know you have a lot more knowledge and experience than me with regards to film (and maybe movies), but this really strikes me as a super strange view. Aren't most films/books/games really about something not directly and explicitly related to the setting? I'm pretty sure you don't believe everything should take place in weird abstract space that need to explicitly reference the core sentiment of the film, so I'm curious to hear how you feel a film's setting has to be justified in such a direct way.
  10. Funny Pictures Thread

    They look like rubber bands, and probably came with the packaging. You should be able to pick them off.
  11. RISK: Factions

    Is it good? I'm in if it's good.
  12. Happy Fat Tuesday!

    What in the jesus holy shit fuck is that a little baby?
  13. Spam Talk: Split from Catherine Thread

    Oh, I get it!
  14. Spam Talk: Split from Catherine Thread

    It feeds the Google beast, increasing their ratings, etc.
  15. GTA V

    Word on the street is this is a casting announcement for GTA V. The descriptions sound very GTA-like.
  16. Tabletop RPGs

    I just watched the Robot Chicken stuff, and was highly embarrassed when the DM did his fire breathing ballista voice.
  17. Gray Matter

    I'm leaning towards buying it online, and then installing it from TPB.
  18. Gray Matter

    Now how hard was that? I found it available for download here, for EUR 39,95€ euros. It has German and Englishsprache(n), and apparently you get the maximum amount of Geschwindigkeit they are able to provide. I'm a bit wary of these unknown downloadable sites, though. How do I know they don't use some sort of horrible DRM stuff? Maybe it's in their FÄQ, I'll go check. Oh shiiiiiiit
  19. Gray Matter

    I want to play this, but I'm not buying a box from some country. There must be a downloadable copy somewhere...
  20. Internet Comics

    So you're all done with the operation now, and it went well? Congrats!
  21. Hard disk fail

    Just like rummaging around inside the box without wearing an antistatic Strap, there are things you shouldn't do but that usually goes all right, like vacuuming.
  22. Piracy/theft

    So this guy is just taking illegal copies of frigates and schooners?
  23. Scrolls

    I'll try making that plugin tomorrow. It's a great idea.
  24. Gemini Rue

    Buy it after you've bought the Blackwell games.
  25. Scrolls

    I think that, in the late 80s, early 90s, if you had a keyboard with scroll lock, and you had a lock, if you hit scroll lock it would scroll that lock.
