I read some of the text on that page... the language they use doesn't leave the best impression, so I wouldn't take everything they say as pure gold... Myself, I have Mandrake installed, but I haven't actually used it much. I'm thinking about giving Fedora a try. Redhat has always been (one of ?) the most popular distros. Since Windows XP is almost the only pirated software left on my computer, (except a few things I don't really use any more) and everything else is free software & most of it multiplatform, I'm thinking of starting to use Linux on a daily basis because I can still use nearly all of the same applications I use in Windows. I still need WinXP for gaming though... Hmm... Maybe it's not as rosy as I'm picturing it... can you play QuickTime & Windows Media formats on Linux? Also, I'm not sure if my TV tuner works in Linux.

Your animation scarred me for life.

I only use Schick Xtreme razors. And that's a fact.

I played Texas Hold'em too for a while, but couldn't stand the long sessions other people wanted to play (usually 5 hours at least... aargh). Couple of my friends still play it a lot, they've started getting pretty high rankings in tournaments.

Yes, the mission is not complete until all caches get refreshed.

Thanx, that was the hint I needed.

happy birthday!

All I know is that I want it. I finished the story missions in the PS2 version, but the PS2 pulled a boner before I could even really begin with all the wuxtry stuff.

Meanwhile, in the castle, a fire had broken From fireflies squashed by a meaningless token The flames caught the throneroom, and out raced the king, The fearsomest cockroach with one broken wing The smoke made his eyes weep and filled them with fog He twirled, lost control, stumbled upon the plug. Falling, he grabbed it, pulling it hard. The castle collapsed and broke into shards. All sorts of bugs came tumbling down Left drifting in currents beyond their control. The fire was spreading and when Tim looked again, A great flaming cloud was headed his way.

Totally undressed Psychonauts

Adventure Gamers is ahead of us in the Undressed Psychonauts business... But that page doesn't even contain the word undressed, although it does have the word Psychonauts...

I don't really have strong opinion about the european constitution. Mainly because I haven't read it. But I kind of agree with this guy:

Hmm... yeah. I didn't get it until now you made me think of "idle fingers" and now it makes sense. It wasn't an automagical association for me, I've rarely heard/read that term...

Undressed Psychonauts! I've never really thought about what Idle Thumbs means... When are thumbs more idle than other fingers? I have no idea.

Yes, suckass trailer. There's some gameplay footage at gamespot: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/adventure/longestjourney2wt/media.html

Is Valve going to fuck me if I install Steam with the same account on another computer? I want to try Half-Life 2 on my new computer, but I'm still using the old one mostly and don't want to uninstall anything yet.

Steam did actually allow me to be connected on two computers. Haven't tried playing yet, though. I suppose in Offline Mode you can play Half-Life 2 on multiple computers too then.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

rattataa. We all (programmers @ my workplace) got ourselves new 19" monitors (previously some people, like me, had 15" montiors). For the first time Idle Thumbs doesn't fill the whole screen... yay!

Yay! And the saga continues. After also getting new PC's at work, I bought a new one for home as well. I went kind of cheap: used ASUS A8N-SLI motherboard, Athlon 64 3000+, Radeon X600Pro 256MB and 512MB used DDR ram, some sort of Antec case, and a 160GB SATA hard drive. Also I finally got with the times and got a DVD burner (had never even had a DVD-ROM). I'll probably upgrade some of that stuff in the fall or so, at least the motherboard should have lots of potential for that.

I'll fornicate the beast

Yes, I was wrong too. Nintendo is the winner. Although the nostalgia factor is kind of lost on me because I never had a Nintendo system except the GameBoy, on which I only played 4 games: Tetris, Mystic Quest (some FF game) and Zelda: Link's Awakening (I think -- it was the one with the sleeping Windfish) and some platformer. The FF and Zelda were fucking amazing though, especially at the time, and that Tetris is still one of the best ever. I have especially fond memories of Mystic Quest. It will be awesome...

Super.

Too little polls here...
