  1. I'm pretty sure you're actually approaching those puzzles from the wrong angle Dan, since the game isn't a "proper platformer". Any time you think you see a solution which requires you to have excellent platforming skill then there is a far more elegant solution that involves a new way of using the time mechanic of that world...


  2. You don't even need an account for the latest build wrestle.

    Also I've been meaning to ask you, did you run it in full screen? I know some people have had really bad frame rates in windowed mode but it has run fine when full screen...


  3. Miffy, that sounds like a .NET 3.5 issue.

    Do you have multiple versions of the .NET framework installed? Perhaps try re-installing .NET 3.5 from scratch.

    Thunderpeel, did you try both the direct link and going via the website front page?


  4. I just think that if you quote something and you don't clearly modify it with ellipses or brackets, you need to stick to the source, period.

    A couple of months ago there was an amazing headline in several newspapers over here : "The Queen: 'I used to take cocaine at parties'"

    By "The Queen" what they actually meant was "Actress Helen Mirren, who once played the Queen". I could not believe my eyes when I saw several versions of the crazy inflammatory headline.


  5. Try rolling a healer and having that same perspective :P

    Some of my favourite moments soloing have been when I have helped the opposing faction, on more than one occasion me and an alliance char have simultaneously helped each other with quests. The massive communication barrier is really pleasing to overcome.

    Revenge isn't something I have any desire for in anything I do, and I hate self perpetuating circles ^_^ Having said that being ganked doesn't bother me beyond the instantaneous annoyance of having to corpse run, if some corpse camps though that's a whole other matter.

    Also as far as story and history goes, the characters I play really have no reason to PvP indiscriminately and the Horde and alliance have various subgroups which co-operate and others that don't.


  6. Hmm, in British English soldered is pronounced with a soft 'L'. Same goes for Colonel (as opposed to the american pronunciation 'kernal'). I gues the L is almost imperceptable and so would dissappear easily in the American.

    The British pronunciation for colonel is exactly the same as the American one unless you are more than 400 years old...

    Solder is actually pronounced both ways in this country, but the pronounced L is far more prevalent. If you follow the etymological route further back than middle English you find the L comes back in (i.e. the latin solidare).
