  1. V The Elder Scrolls

    The game really changes a lot when you reach level 51. YEMD28MMtNg
  2. Plug your shit

    I like the color scheme, but I don't like the icons or the map (should be in the same color scheme). Also, a very very subtle wallpaper would be nice. Anyway... it's a much improvement over the default theme. It reminds me more of the blackbox windows manager (for Linux/*BSD) than Steam.

    It could work. Ubisoft's DRM prevented me from pirating their games for the past 3 years. Also, I didn't buy a single Ubisoft game in the same time.

    I will probably pass on Diablo 3 due to ubisoft like always-on DRM.
  7. My monitor just melted

    Ok, it didn't melt. But my secondary monitor is now sort of dead and thus I need a new one. Anybody got some recommendations for a monitor suitable for gaming? I really don't want a 19:6 resolution. Other than that I'm flexible.

    RPS had a nice overview of PC games in 2012: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/01/04/an-exciting-list-of-pc-games-for-2012/ Anyway.. me would be most interested in: Mass Effect 3 Interesting to see how the story concludes. Despite keeping my expectations low, I fear the worst. Prey 2, Bioshock Infinite, X-Com, Syndicate, and Borderlands 2
  10. Laws in giving away food in the UK?

    In the Netherlands given away food has been regulated to some degree. There are so called "food banks" where companies can donate food which they can no longer sell because it has been "expired". And this is where the regulation comes into play, even though products are "expired" doesn't mean that they cannot be consumed. It simply means that it cannot be sold in a store anymore. A lot of companies "dump" those "expired" goods at those "food banks" that process it and hand it out to the needy. I wouldn't be surprised if there are "food banks" in the UK. A quick google search returned this: http://www.trusselltrust.org/foodbank-projects

    that's insane
  17. V The Elder Scrolls

    Dark brotherhood is now also in the pocket. The only things left: thieves guild, the circle stuff (but I don't want to be a werewolf). I think I'm missing 1 dedric quest. And I need to get married. I might also try to find the 4 missing gems in a box, but I probably will use a guide for that. The challenge is a bit gone now. I can just come in and start swinging and walk to the end of whatever. It's actually a bit annoying when I have to swing twice to kill something. So I think Skyrim has about 100hours of gameplay in it, I'm currently at 113 hours. It's time for Bethesda to release the toolkit so that people can create new stuff for the experienced player.
  18. GTA V

    Somehow I get the idea that somebody thinks "quantity = quality".
  19. V The Elder Scrolls

    Just finished the civil war quest line. Damn that was a boring one.
  20. V The Elder Scrolls

    hurray for me... I beat the main quest line. The main quest is the one with the dragons, right? Or is that the war one? Anyway, it appears that I'm now a absolute bad ass. Dragons and dragonpriests no longer put up a major challenge. I can even take on 2 dragons at the same time. That's a bit of a shame though.

    RSI is quite easy in a lot of cases. It all boils down to posture and position. I never had RSI like issues until I changed mouse form at work, and not at home. After a while I started to feel strain at home. Obvious solution, switch to the same type of mouse form at home. The problem of RSI is simply wrong having a strained form when using things. This is always wrong. If you are able to do so (physically), sit behind your desk, and completely relax while holding the instruments you use. If any part of your body has extra pressure compared to the rest, compensate. Find the position where every part of your body is "pressureless" when in relaxed state. That is the position you want to work in. Adjusting to pressure can involve adjusting chair, desk, and utensils (i.e. mouse or keyboard). In most cases it's best when your chair in so high that your forearms can lay completely horizontally on your desk when holding you mouse or operating your keyboard. The tilt in your upperarms depends a bit on preference, for me about 30 degrees is ok. Also, make sure your feet can reach the ground when bent into 90 degrees. The don't have to be in that position when you work, but it gives you a good reference point for chair/desk height. The most important part to battle RSI is to combat any for form strain. Yes, it's ridiculous as it sounds. There are no golden rules, just trial and error.

    OIC, that explains the shaving. I wonder how I got the association of hernia and back into my brain, apparently that's completely not really correct.
  24. V The Elder Scrolls

    I was due to sort of a quest bug. I accidentally triggered the "join the legion" quest and the general wouldn't want to speak to me until I closed that quest.

    But wouldn't you want that cute nurse handle your balls? Oh wait... he already has a GF, now it get it.
