  1. Stacking

    yes, it's here today... I was watching PSN for hours yesterday evening. Stupid timezones.
  2. Internet Comics

    neat... will it be a daily comic ?
  3. Recently completed video games

    It's a game about a child's imagination about trick and treating... isn't that a hint enough that it's a kids game? Anyway, you finished CQ just in time. 'Stacking' will come out today iirc.
  4. Movie/TV recommendations

    I think Samuel's acting was quite fragile in that movie.
  5. Mafia II

    Where have I heard that line before?
  6. New people: Read this, say hi.

    Congrats Nick! And his stretchmarks.

    I picked up my copy for ~20 euros at an online retailer, they are usually cheaper than Steam (unless there's a sale). Anyway, I doubt there will be more patches for NV. A lot of the scripted bugs are already fixed by the community. But the engine bugs are still there, specially the performance drop with certain number of NPCs is annoying.

    Finished New Vegas. Spend close to 2^6 hours in the wasteland. Visited every location, completed as much quests as possible. In the end, I didn't really like the way everything was developing. There was no ending I really liked. New Vegas sure had a lot of game breaking bugs, but at least it didn't have the quest shortcut bugs of FO3, i.e. there was no way you could accidentally skip a bunch of quests in the main story. One thing I quite missed in NV were parts that were really decoupled of the main world. In FO3 there were a few quests/areas that stood quite on their own. There were a few vaults out there, but nothing really special going on in there. And eventhough there were VR machines, no simulations at all. That's a real shame. Also no interesting or remarkable things in the world. The H&H Tool Factory was presented as being something special, or mysterious. But it was just dull as hell. The star cap thing, nothing special. The radioactive rocket toys, nothing... And the list goes on. So many missed opportunities. Ok, there was one mildly interesting thing. The vault with the sacrificing plan. But it was so short, and so un-mysterious. Anyway, considering I put almost 64 hours in this game would suffice to say that it's worth playing. So, ps, they should really make a game about VaultTech. That was one fucked up company. Or at least, what was with all those experiments going on in the vaults you encountered in FO3 and NV. Clearly there was more going on that providing a shelter for the nuclear war.

    that's because it's not funny, but dumb

    That was because that Dog was badly damaged. I hated those chase segments in the game.

    50? that's just too cheap, I would've bought it at 100, but now that it's at 50 it has been degraded to the pauper level.

    What boss do you mean? The Dog? I don't think it's the same dog you encounter at the bridge.

    maybe you shouldn't let those big companies run your countries

    God, I hate religious stuff. If there was a god, it would either smite those people or make sure they could sing.
  15. Unlike ISPs often claim, switching to a plan with more bandwidth can actually make your connection worse. The problem lies in the quality of the connection. If you have a lot of noise on the signal you can get worse performance due to more need for error correction and retransmissions. This stuff can happen when you're simply changing your plan, and all the ISP does is allow more bandwidth. Other problems can happen when there's a firmware update on either side if your cable. Often ISPs increase bandwidth for all customers and release a firmware upgrade to their routers and often the modem of the customers. Here are some things you can try: - Perform a hard reset of your modem (i.e. to factory defaults) and see if that works. This is usually done by pushing in the small reset button on the device. - Reflash the modem's firmware (if possible). This can because it's often difficult to find it. Always test your connectivity using a wired connection to the router.

    Fire her. ... out of a canon.
  17. Achievements/Trophys

    I don't hate them, I dislike them because they are often pointless and often contain spoilers. Also, they rank up egos; and I really hate that.
  18. Private messages

    Let me introduce me to my friend 'sarcasm'.
  19. Private messages

    Private messages are in absolute contrast to the idea of a forum. I'd say, reduce them to 1.
  20. nah... I've seen that void appear all over the place
  21. If you mean the group of 4 floating islands close to the monolith, I did. Still not finished though. The other floating island isn't by me.
  22. The wizard's tower has an awesome platform of non-existence \o/ You need a companion for the full experience. The wizard's tower is on one of he islands of Na Pali Haven.

    It's worse. It's £1000 which is like $1000000
