  1. Buying a New PC

    CPU GPU SSD I always spend hours studying Tom's Hardware when I'm about to upgrade.

    Those are there for the same reason as in the American presidential elections: to increase the significance of rural areas and to make sure the entire country is represented. Jyrki Kasvi was the only MP with any expertise on online matters. Mostly he seemed to be fighting against windmills since the others were determined to fuck up any internet-related law.

    Gwardinen, they did better than anyone could have expected. Rodi, they hate all good things and like all bad things. They used to have 5 (out of 200) seats, now they have 39, just behind the Social Democrats (42) and Neocons (44).
  4. Life

    Totally fucked up results in our Parliamentary elections. I feel a bit sick.

    English is a cinch. Immigration (since 800 AD) has smoothed out all the difficult bits and the remaining challenge is that there are so many words that originate from different languages.
  6. Movie/TV recommendations

    Well, it sort of is... The last parts of the movie totally poison everything good that came before it. I can't watch that movie again because I know everything that's good in it is only a trap, and when it springs you're left with nothing but disappointment.
  7. Portal 2

    Wouldn't be very good marketing if it didn't. I'm just confused by how people get so excited about marketing.
  8. Almost Human

    That photo looks like a Hollywood movie's idea of generic Scandinavians. Set in Greenland apparently.
  9. Portal 2

    I can't stand any of this viral bs Valve spews constantly. It's really turning me away from the games. The only thing keeping me interested at all is that the actual games are bound to be terrific.
  10. Movie/TV recommendations

    I really liked Idiocracy! Extract was ok.
  11. Tribes: Ascend

    Man, Tribes. What a game. You could make such a good Tribes game these days with say BF tech, but who knows if that'll happen. Others might not have the vision Dynamix had. EDIT: Ahah, I burst out laughing at the voice over in the end. So tacky!
  12. Steam client vulnerability released

    So your idea of hackers is that they generally just wait around until a white hat publishes information, and then exploit it? They don't, say, find security holes themselves and then either exploit it or share it to other hackers.

    Also, I had no idea these things were so expensive! I'm sure they are expensive, but I'd never pay 150€ for one, and that's the student pass.
  14. Life

    Me too, I was there last summer. But no, I can't go 10-12 May.
  15. Plug your shit

    That's very well done, Nevsky. I think the quality is top notch, so no complaints there. For internet shorts I would recommend to keep it very short and fast paced. I know it wouldn't be easy, but I think it would improve if you cut about three minutes from it.
  16. Japan

    Who the fuck is that guy? I HATE HIM AND I HATE HIS VOICE AND HIS FACE. God, so annoying...
  17. Movie/TV recommendations

    And how was 300 competent? I'm still surprised by how Watchmen ended up (well IMO) considering it was directed by Zack Snyder.
  18. The threat of Big Dog

    I wonder what kind of munitions payload that thing could carry.
  19. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    That interview just seems like a desperate attempt to make a 14-year-old girl cry. Pretty sad.
  20. Movie/TV recommendations

    Hey, thanks for the Warehouse 13 tip, I'm going to check it out. Apparently is somehow based on a miniseries called The Lost Room, which wasn't perfect but I liked it.
  21. Movie/TV recommendations

    They also link to you for troubleshooting, so enjoy that!
  22. Movie/TV recommendations

    I started reading the book and hated it. Later I saw the movies and really enjoyed the first one. It has his faults of course. The latter two movies aren't quite as good, especially the second one.
  23. Idle Thumbs Camping

    Ossk: From my time living in Britain and looking for hostels and such for small trips, I learned to appreciate clear and concise websites. That's the viewpoint I had when looking at the site.
  24. Idle Thumbs Camping

    That website is totally fine for the purpose it serves. You could try adding a banner type of photo under the menu in each page (different shot for every page). That way some of the pages didn't look so spare. Otherwise very clean and gives you all the information you need.
  25. Blue sky in American games?

    I wear red sneakers. Can we close this thread? If someone is actually interested in debating these points, we should make a new thread without all the hate and start over.
