  1. Troy.... Errrr What?

    Hollywood has enough trouble being faithful to actual documented historical events. How do you expect them to fair with mythology and ancient plays? In a similar vein; I know it is for kids, but there is something about Dinsey's Hercules that I find horribly offensive.
  2. No, I'll restart my computer later

    Is it? I almost always choose it. In fact the occasional app which doesn't give you the option is infuriating, especially if you have other stuff running.
  3. Uncharted

    OH?
  4. Rez HD

    SPACE-U BUT-ER-LER!!!!
  5. Uncharted

    But the bushes are really clouds! :\
  6. Unofficial Baby Thumb's 1st birthday today!

    I think he was postulating the existence of an anniversary to celebrate the placenta (everybody's secret twin. It's like a teddy-bear for the foetus!).
  7. Uncharted

    I suppose next you're going to say tell people ?
  8. Uncharted

    Just shit on my childhood why don't you?! Hmm, I'm going out tonight; maychance I'll try the half-tuck...
  9. Screw Barack Obama

    Obama seems to have the most support from the rest of the world. From this side of the atlantic he looks like the best bet. Also, what would you like the first black president to be like? Some guy with an afro, gold chains and a bucket of cajun chicken? Berating a black person for not being black enough is... well it's not good.
  10. Off-Road Velociraptor Safari

    Is that... a raptor in a hat?
  11. Off-Road Velociraptor Safari

    OK I can tell you that my average score is 364,263. The potential achievements on the profile page made me laugh too. woot, 475,100! And unlocked Insurance Fraud achievement.
  12. Off-Road Velociraptor Safari

    this is indeed a fun little game. I think I got about 500,000-ish my first go, but haven't been able to match that since. The 5 minute timer is pretty harsh. Edit: also I like how the raptors are feathered, and the inclusion of raptor facts. Learning is fun!
  13. Unofficial Baby Thumb's 1st birthday today!

    Happy birthday to yah happy bierthday to yah hap-py bir-irthday! PS hope that thing growing out of your chest clears up soon!
  14. I'm putting my ethics on you, ruthlessly!

    ahaha, nice one.
  15. Mass Effect

    Sweet, a retraction from Cooper Lawrence in NY Times*. I still think she's a sexist pig though. *(if it asks you to log in then just go to the front page and search for her name)
  16. Mass Effect

    Fuck's Sake. Cooper Lawrence. What an awful woman. After all that rhetoric about sexism and treating women as objects of desire... check out her previous book: http://www.amazon.com/Fixer-upper-Man-Maybe-Right-Steps/dp/1598694561/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201191523&sr=8-2 Misandronistic crap. Treating men as if they were houses; property to be assesed, improved or discarded as needed. However, check out the associated tags section for some hilarity.
  17. Mass Effect

    Hahaha... Normally I'm against this kind of personal attack since it can cast all gamers in a bad light. However the reader reviews posted in that article make their point succintly.
  18. Mass Effect

    EA, of all people, have stepped up to the plate. I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. The world is a little more sunny today. Or it would be if it wasn't night right now.
  19. Mass Effect

    I seem to remember hearing that the interactive sex-scenes were removed from the US version of the game. I think I know why all these people are objecting to the Mass Effect love scene. It's because the women aren't wearing bras isn't it? Everyone knows that in the USA women always keep their bra on during sex. Doing otherwise is probably dangerously deviant. I learned that from TV and movies.
  20. Seeeeeen it...

    Amongst b3tans (whose influence spreads far indeed) I believe the word is "glasscock".
  21. Mass Effect

    She actually scoffed! I don't think I've heard anyone actually scoff before. You can also tell she was full of shit by the way she kept changing her argument. First it was "this game treats women as sexual objects", then it was "their dad's aren't going to be playing it, only 15 year olds" then "gorwn men will be buying it" then "studies show blah blah blah". What an awful, awful woman. At one point the presenter amost seemed to be coming round to Keeley's side though.
  22. Mass Effect

    It is most likely due to projecting their own feelings of guilt and self-revulsion.
  23. I'm a year late, but Bloodlines was going on steam for $20 and I was bored. A bargain. And damn am I glad I did get it, because I'm halfway through my second palythrough now and still loving it. The community is still going strong, so there are two sets of fan-made patches to choose from. I chose the "Unofficial patch 4.5", and from what I can tell most of the bugs have been dealt with and it even gives you the option of re-enabling some stuff that was cut from the game at the last moment, which has been restored by the mod-makers. At first I did find the combat clunky and horrible, but what became evident as I played through is that this is a result of your noob stats. As you increase your rating in a given style of fighting the combat becomes much more fun and manageable (perhaps not the best design decision with which to hook new players, but it's not a fault of the engine per se). The game also implements a pretty decent stealth system (lacking only corpse interactions), which together with the great dialogue makes a very rounded game. The strongest area, as any review will tell you, is the dialogue and characters. It's also occasionally very funny. Playing as an insane Malkavian, I've had conversations with street signs ("No, you stop!"), heard whispering voices in my head telling me who to trust, and convinced someone to give me information based on the fact that "I am a fierce dinosaur. Rawwwr!". I advise all FPS/RPG crossover fans to play it. The emo vampirism isn't too prevalent and is even lampooned on several ocasions. Play it soon before it starts to look too old.
