  1. Thumb Fortress 2

    I'd love to try some MvM.
  2. It's iconoclast, he is breaking the mold for triple-A gaming.
  3. Feminism

    I've always of the opinion that I am fucking awesome, but never of the opinion that anyone has to agree with me.
  4. Ok, Murdoc, Dewar, anyone else, PM me a dwarf name that shall be you. I'll do the 1st year.
  5. Transistor

    On the controller you can hold the attack button to aim during turn, it really helps, but the tooptip only popped up when i was doing one of the challenges.
  6. Life

    Are you the toilet bowl, and this scenario is the gigantic poo that is blocking your pipes?
  7. List of things that must be in blah

    It can't be that hard, you just do a find replace on Dx10 with Dx9. Lazy devs imo.
  8. Life

    Take it to the plug your shit thread guys.
  9. Transistor

    Dash into them and then start your Turn(), that way you don't waste the start of it moving.
  10. Transistor

    Just use the dah vanilla, you can use it when recharging. I'm finding it tough too. There is a lot to read on the abilities pages. I'm not too bad there as i'm used to that sort of shite, but for someone who is more used to just hitting things there is a whole lot going on. I've been doing Turn(), run/dash behind, combo start (A), then B to get combo + backstab bonus. pewpew.
  11. No, it was pre 2000. I've been looking at wikipedian since trying to find it. I know it is pre 2000, as i borrowed it off a guy in secondary school. It looks very like Star Trek: Bridge Commander, but set around the original series time i think. It deffo didn't have picard in it, and the graphics weren't as swish as that one.
  12. BigJerKO affiliated with space-puritans. Wasn't there a Star Trek game where you controlled everything from the bridge? I played the hell out of that. It was on a million CDs if i recall correctly.
  13. Diablo III BattleTags

    DiabLu?
  14. Don't anyone worry about skill level. Half the fun of DF is the inevitable 'fun' that leads to your demise. If you go 2nd or 3rd, the 1st lord should have the basics up and running so you needent worry too much and can concentrate on building a fortune for the next poor sod to defend.
  15. Who is up for it then? Dibs Murdoc (Maybe) Twig (Maybe) Voyeurs: Reyman I don't mind starting. We can continue to rotate if we survive 1 year each.
  16. Movie/TV recommendations

    Oh man, Godzilla was so bad. I loved it.
  17. Transistor

    Guys, its just the pause mechanic.
  18. I've not played since then and managed to pick it back up in around 2 hours. Like falling off a bike.
  19. Life

    Oh god, i left mine half done. My room is lovely and clean today, but the spare room is worse than ever...
  20. What to look out for in employee contracts

    My latest contract had a clause that said I wasn't allowed to work for anyone else (on my own time) while working here. I challenged it and it turned out to be bad wording and was withdrawn and replaced with just not allowed to work for competitors while working here (perfectly reasonable). Just be careful with items like that, don't sign a contract you are uncomfortable with. I've been told (word of mouth from non experts, also Ireland) that even though a contract cannot invalidate your law given workers rights, that the signing of a contract where you do "invalidate" those rights can be brought up as mitigating circumstances if things ever go wrong. At a previous place of work, nearly everyone was on contracts that signed away their rights to a maximum 48 hour working week. I wasn't. They worked 60 hours+ a week. I worked 39. Edit: Yes, i meant what juv3nal said, but also opportunity to work 2nd jobs/consulting etc.
  21. What to look out for in employee contracts

    Make sure they don't try to get you to sign any of your rights away. Make sure they don't try to own any code you create when in their employ (like at weekends at home on your own projects). Make sure the exclusivity clause isn't crushing.
  22. Life

    Fake it till you make it baby. You were at a conference, like an academic one? The process of getting my PhD burned all such thoughts out of me. I no longer get very nervous about things, and I take the position that everyone else is just as big a faker as me, but that maybe i'm not such a big fake after all.
