  1. have dim question :(

    i have installed simcity 2000 on my windows xp laptop, and apart from usual display issues is running fine. does anyone know of a way however that i can speed up my mouse? it's driving me insane...
  2. Economically F'd in the A

    irish newsrags keep referring to "recessionistas". disgusting business.
  3. morowind. and echochrome. frustrating little bastard.
  4. How I Met Your Mother

    i really really don't see the attraction of this show either. and one of the people i live with is mad about it so i've seen enough to know i hate it. however i have become massively obsessed with garth merenghi's darkplace - how did i not know this existed? i'm going to marry matt berry. so my name will be joberry. sigh.
  5. Merry fucking Christmas

    there's a really fat bloke on my floor in college who looks exactly like comic book guy, pony tail and all, who constantly plays american dad and family guy on his shit hot fuck-off alienware, visible fromm that bit of the foyer where you wait to use the toilets. i heard him in the lift the other day talking about his wife. they're going to ac/dc together this summer. twice. thats fairly heartwarming.

    oh no the game wasn't a disappointment! i was looking for the shift too! the disappointment was that it wasn't there!

    omg. tmi. keep it precious, like.
  9. 3ds max

    Hello everybody, Does anyone know where I can find a plugin/if such a plugin exists that makes 3ds max backwards compatible? As in, files that I've (painstakingly) created in version 9 aren't openable by 8. I have 7 computers at my disposal to render in 8, and all my bipeds are created (painstakingly) in 9. I really, REALLY don't want to have to redo all that work. All the bipeds have skins and mocap files associated with them. Any takers?
  10. *wibble*

    hello! definitely a great game. i played loco roco on christmas day. that was disappointing. what a tiny game! although i think 2 is bigger.
  11. Spore

    wow. nick yours all look fantastic. mine look like they've been created by a spastic with a mr potato head.
  12. Help me leave my country!

    eep. ireland has havoc and demonware but there's a recession (big scary recession) and also according to a friend, the immigration process is nearly as bad as for the uk. which is funny, considering how almost the entire american population IS actually, y'know, Irish...
  13. How are you guys? ...we're fine.

    my mother is in her fifties and utah jehovah witnesses came to the door the other day with the strongest accents ever...i was in the sitting room creasing up with laughter as i heard my mother explain in the same utah accent that she was jewish and, as such, didnt really have any need for different interpretations of jehovah. i do it too, to an embarrassing degree, i just got back from a conference in hamburg where my accent changed every five minutes. its definitely easier for me as a native english speaker i think to modulate my accent when talking to non native english speakers, as in i would think it would be harder for say a finnish person to modulate their accent when talking to me than vice versa. i speak almost fluent italian and i certainly can barely tell the difference between different italian accents. i notice other people doing it too, especially around english speakers from other countries - my sister works in london and speaks in this weird london-irish accent when in work. i think its definitely a conformity thing. yes.
  14. Where is everybody?

    jesus, he really is taking up a lot of time. shut up wrestle! im finally going out with someone who knows less about games than i do! i'm right even when i'm wrong! it's fantastic! so what's everyone doing?

  18. So...

    that's a serious fashion choice...... i used soup mix instead of lentils in my soup for dinner and it didnt turn out very well. that' the worst thing that happened to me today. surprisingly good monday!
  19. Lack of Banter.

    I assume the only correct answer in that exam is ".......they're circular" ?
  20. see this is my problem with it. if it's an existential comment, fine. but as a game clearly it's a load of wank. i mean, yeah. wow. serious amount of articulate-ness outta me today.
  21. It's time for Moustache March!

    this is all just too funny
  22. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    seasick steve DOES rock! i've been struggling with oppenheimer, grand pocket orchestra and mclusky obsessions myself lately.
  23. passage - load of wank.
  24. Lack of Banter.

    yay banter! i too feel i have been abandoning gaming, been doing a lot of rendering and it's really hard to come home and wanna turn on a computer. do a phd ginger! they're fantastic, it's like three years of going "am i doing enough? no? shit. wow. i really didn't do enough and now i'm unemployable". i'm just entering my second year and it's the constant second guessing yourself that does it. on the plus side i took january off to drink and laze about. there are perks. also i have started a band and we're going to be awesome. ha, i sound about 17.
  25. Alliance and Leicester are Shit

    this thread is going a long way to explaining why i was so suicidal just before i quit my bank job. there's just no love. also there were no windows and 5 security doors between me and a cigarette at all times
