From Wikipedia: "On 31 October 1831, the first "popular" edition in one volume appeared, published by Henry Colburn & Richard Bentley. This edition was heavily revised by Mary Shelley, partially because of pressure to make the story more conservative, and included a new, longer preface by her, presenting a somewhat embellished version of the genesis of the story."

Who' is DNyeal? I got a friend request. Is it anyone here?

Unfortunately not. I just heard that the first one was more controversial, and the later version kind of softened it.

There's two versions of Frankenstein. The original was supposedly a little more subversive than the later, padded out version. Do you know which one you read?

That goat looks like he has a bad attitude.

It's funny because the loading screens didn't bother me at all. I remember before I played Half-Life everyone was going on and on about it having no loading screens, then when I played it for the first time the game suddenly stopped and I saw the word "loading", I was shocked to say the least.

I don't recall there being much gay stuff in the beginning of Season 2, but depending on who's staying with you, I suppose it may not be worth it to you to take the risk. (Also, I could be wrong -- the first shot may be of Omar with a young lover for all I can remember!)

Ooh. I need to look out for that stuff, then. I've never wandered into a subtitled screening, thankfully, but that would be really annoying if I did. I did get what subbes was saying, my point was that it's the same to me whether it's a "hot" new screenshot or a cute chicklet... Although to play it safe, she could have gone for a Chocobo

Wow, Miffy, that sounds like a typical small company. Lol. I remember I became the technical/server dude at my old graphic design company. ("In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king", leapt to mind.) There's some great resources on Dolby's site, but that's only one part of it, I guess. Must be a little worrisome that something might break that you have no idea how to fix. (Eek.)

You mean LFE, right? Lol. Yes, that's six channels of sound. We need to get you brushed up your technical lingo!

You mean six channels, right?

Akh! That's very depressing. Their "screen checks" aren't going to reveal anything if their staff can't tell something is wrong, even when it's right in their face. Hard to believe sound is so neglected. A simple reel that displayed, "front left" and played sound through the front left speaker, then, "front right" and played sound through the front right speaker, etc. sounds like it should be standard issue. I've seen the time and effort that goes into perfecting the sound in movies... only to now discover that it's apparently being utterly destroyed by chains that can't even tell two of their five channels isn't working. Very depressing indeed! "Films are 50 percent visual and 50 percent sound. Sometimes sound even overplays the visual." - David Lynch

I think this thread has already firmly established that Chris Sawyer developed Theme Park, Sid Meier developed Transport Tycoon, and Peter Molyneux made Rollercoaster Tycoon. Thanks for trying, though The question remains as to who is developing Cities in Motion. I searched on Googles and I think it's this guy:

Actually, I think wide images are bad even if they're screenshots... right? Is there some rule I don't know?

Well here's been the problem: In two separate cinemas (from the same chain), speakers have not been working. One was the front left, the other was the front left and right. It had nothing to do with the prints as the music was affected in the trailers, too. When it first happened I told the staff on duty and one followed me into the cinema to see for themselves. Complete and total lugnut he was, he couldn't tell that the front left and right speakers weren't working (to be fair, I'm not sure most of the packed cinema could tell, either -- but they would have noticed if they'd come back on, I'm sure). Afterwards I spoke to a manager who literally said, "Well we've got rid of all our projectionists now. You have to wonder what they did! (suddenly realising) Although, I suppose they would have spotted something like this." He then offered me a free ticket or a free popcorn next time I was in the theater. I said to him that I was only concerned with him fixing the sound... but I have no idea if he was going to follow through. Even though they no longer have projectionists... at all, he did say they do "screen checks". I was wondering what this entails, or if they were standard for cinemas? I can imagine that a blown speaker is pretty hard to detect from just listening to a movie soundtrack (how would you notice if the LFE had gone if you hadn't seen the film before?), so I'm hoping that they run some sort of check/calibration software/film/thing? If they didn't offer unlimited cinema goings for $25 a month, I probably wouldn't use them... but I can't turn down such a good deal. *sigh*

Come to think of it, didn't the Dreamcast have a screen in the controller? Albeit, a VERY limited one?

Skyrim...

I like how you gave up so quickly. Lol.

More realistic stealth/better AI. Less bugs. More sandboxy/grenade rolling down hills opportunities. Less bugs. No respawning enemies. Less bugs.

Yeah, it's amazing. So many people think it's real, but it's clearly not. She's just a really funny girl. I'd date her! (Also: eHarmony doesn't have video bios - to my knowledge, and the YouTube account name is: Cara Hartmann - not Debbie something.)

Ye brokeh d pagee! Congrats Miffy. Can I ask: What kind of checks should cinemas be doing? I'm so annoyed with my local that I want you to come and fix it.

Well if you look at it from his point of view, she's helping someone get away with murder (potentially). There's a time for politeness and there's a time where any amount of bullshit is not tolerated. From the police's point of view you're the enemy as soon as you start lying or withholding information. That said, I'm still getting to grips with the game myself, to be honest, and I'm halfway through, but it sounds like you're getting onboard with it.

I don't think even Columbo could help here. This whole case seems boinked. Phelps is mentioning people I don't even know yet. Hmph.

First Vice case.. I'm interrogating someone and I have nothing to contradict the suspect. It's confusing. So I look it up and it turns out I should have gone to another location first... How are you supposed to know that? Now I can't back out. It seems totally random and annoying

Ugh. THAT was the conclusion to the homicide desk? Meh. And what's this about being "Promoted" to another desk? Homicide is the pinnacle of police work. Only the best make homicide. WTF? Onwards... PS - You're hot, too, Toblix.
