I still have a pile of old PC GAMER magazines lying around... --Erwin

I see your point, but let me add this: - John the Mole puts a lot of money in it. I have no official figures, but I think the Talpa start-up budget is even bigger than SBS, Veronica and Yorin's together. - John the Mole can retire if he wants to. He's not the youngest anymore and he's filthy rich. This leads me to believe that he's very passionate about TV making, and I think he doesn't do it for the money. --Erwin

Because it beats the alternative it's facing right now: Termination. I'm curious why you're comparing Talpa with Tros? I fail to see the relation Also, Talpa can't get any worse than what we already see on the RTL and SBS networks. John de Mol has the money and power to shake things up a little. I expect to see an increase in quality. Then again, I'm known as a foolishly optimistic person. --Erwin

I was once hooked on Apogee's Raptor: Call of the Shadows. Anyone remember that game? A true classic. --Erwin

You've been playing Day of the Tentacle again? Anyway, I seem to be the only one who never dreams about games. --Erwin

Nova was probably the only thing I watched on the public network. And Kopspijkers. I hope Nova will, like Kopspijkers, move over to Talpa. I'm not sure it can co-exist with Barend & Van Dorp, though. Too much ''actuality programs'' spoil the broth. --Erwin

Well, it already did *some* damage. France and England are fighting over an agriculture subsidy, Italy and The Netherlands are moaning about their financial contribution, and there's uncertainty as how to proceed. And the Euro devaluated a little, although that's not necessarily a bad thing. --Erwin

Hey, that's a good one! I should use that when applying for a job --Erwin

Everyone knows Major Stryker kicks ass. --Erwin

Probably because the space sim genre has had its best time. Like another genre that knows a lot of creative amateur developers: adventures. --Erwin

You should apply for a job as dialogue writer for Family Guy. --Erwin

Well, fuck. I've played GTA 3 and GTA Vice City on the PC and found the keys + mouse far more comfortable to use than that clumsy PS2 controller. Anyway, impatient as I am I bought San Andreas for the PS2 as soon as it was out, played it for days until I got stuck (yes, at that fucking 'wrong side of the tracks' mission) and now I got the PC version yesterday. Guess what? I can't use the keyboard and mouse anymore. Can't even walk straight! How fucking pathetic. Anyway, I do love the graphics, though. I can see so much more buildings in the background (max. horizon distance rules) and it seems that the sky displays much more different colours and shit. The leaves on the trees are not that good, though. They have an outline in the colour of the sky. Must be my aged Radeon 9600 XT. I guess the game is optimized for nVidia cards, if their logo in the intro isn't just for commercial purposes, that is. --Erwin

Now I'm curious... Who else is in that penitentiary? --Erwin

Teachj me to loosj terribiel Dutts accent, pleasj! --Erwin

I'm a loyal SuSe user. Especially after Novell acquired it. I've been using Novell products for as long as I can remember. At home I'm still on Windows, though. And probably will be. --Erwin

I don't, but I might. --Erwin

Your voice reminded me of Adrian Ripburger. --Erwin

To quote your quote of Baconian: bleah. BLEAARGILLLILIL BLEARKGLUullullullullgl grillllbLRILEEEAARKKLKKKuckl. --Erwin

For a brief moment I thought you were talking about premenstrual syndrome, or PMS for short. --Erwin

They don't make -em like that anymore. I remember some shitty Pizza Tycoon-clone game called Pizza Syndicate or something. And Sim City 3 was also crap. And I didn't like Theme Park World either. --Erwin

Fuck you And fuck you all, by the way. I still have to see the movie, but my anticipation level is, thanks to the bunch of you whiners, currently 0.00000001 percent. --Erwin

I was seriously addicted to Pizza Tycoon. And Theme Park. And Sim City 2000. And Transport Tycoon DeLuxe. Somehow I don't care about sim games anymore. I did buy Sim City 4 when it came out, but that was wasted money as I never really played it. --Erwin

Haha, that dancing mission was crazy. Somehow I couldn't manage to remember the location of the buttons either. I kept mixing them up halfway through. Anyway, I grabbed a piece of paper, drew the button layout on it, and taped it on the TV, just below the screen. Instant success! --Erwin
