Thanks for the effort! I'm sticking to binaries in the future

What's a good online newspaper? Bbc and NY Times can be biased.

Huh, I don't think I have it in me. I can't even find Cygwin mentioned in the manual. It just says type 'make win32' and everything should work. I installed Cygwin but I get some error. I'm going to let it go. It just reminds me how much I hate working with anything that has to do with Linux. I've been hearing how it's all better now since I first tried Suse 6.0, but every time I've tried Linux something eventually breaks mysteriously. EDIT: What a waste of time and effort. I tried to get the thing compiled in Linux inside Virtualbox, and although I could get Chuck compiled, no luck with the extension. I'm must have been born under unlucky open source stars or something, because so many people swear by Linux. I'm sure I've put at least a hundred hours in Linux that have gained me nothing but lines in my face. Sorry about the whiny thread :X

Guh, well thanks Erkki. Maybe I'll give it another shot at some point when I feel like I have the energy.

What do you reckon I could use? I've tried the free version of Visual Studio, but it gives errors. Either they don't play well together or I'm doing something wrong. Are there other options?

I just saw He Never Died on Netflix. The summary pretty much promises a cheap, bad action movie, but it's actually very good! All the reviews call it horror-comedy, but it never looks or sounds like a comedy. It's nothing like Evil Dead. Anyway, I recommend it heartily. It's about a cannibal who never died.

I think they've been amazingly clever with the design. I'm very happy with what I got for the $15 I paid. I disagree that the staggered release puts the onus on the climax. I think it's that way for Telltale episodes, but not this. They are very different because this is so incredibly replayable. The individual levels have to be worth what I pay for them, but the whole package doesn't suffer if one isn't up to par.

I dig your podcast, Teddy. Interesting questions, I mostly had no idea what the discussion could lead to.

"I tip my mouth to you, sir."

King Crimson is my all-time favourite band, but I don't think it works particularly well in the film.

Cheers, that'll do. Ugh, why don't they have an archive with the lot...

Do you guys know where I could get some good quality, very clearly marked WAV samples? By clearly marked I mean I need to know which notes they are, if they are only labeled with a number it gets too cumbersome. I'd love to have several instruments, but even a set of 88 piano samples would be appreciated.

Loved it, seven thumbs up.

We should lock all threads.

Thanks, Chris. I don't listen to every episode so I was wondering how I managed to miss Sean. Then I figured out it was because he was somehow more taxed with Firewatch. So now I'd been waiting for him to turn up.

The new Iggy Pop album is sick.

Ugh, this movie. I feel a bit sick, it just strikes so close. Although in the plot no-one has been born in 18 years -- as if such a crisis is needed, in my current state of mind I cant imagine this stuff 10 years into the future with just a progression what's going on. I was already feeling dark this morning ("I should get my story straight for when in 40 years kids will be asking me what the fuck we were thinking"), this was probably not the right choice.

God, the beginning of Children of Men is a massive gut punch these days. I never thought the film was special, but I'm a third through my second viewing and I'm changing my mind. I also appreciate Clive Owen's acting more, which is strange.

Tabletop Simulator deal going on. I'd love to try some stuff this weekend.

Ooh, I got that pack. I probably can't join you for the roleplaying (even though I'd love to, I just can't commit), but I'd love to try out some tabletop stuff this weekend.

Oo, that's a good podcast. I've listened to three episodes so far. Cheers!

I'm so used to Linklater being a ton of moody talking, I guess I've missed this other side of his work. I'm always game for more Linklater, though.

Guh, I'm too tired to tackle the challenge. I hope I can pick it up later.

Yeah, I had one where the previously censored bits were italicised.

This book's Finnish translation has a completely different title ("Satan arrives in Moscow") which always captivated me along with the stark grey cover with a large cat holding a revolver. I liked it a lot when I read it. I should read it again.
