Japan now also faces a power and environmental crisis, because one of their nuke reactors got damaged, and the danger of radiation leak is rising. God this is awful. The least we can do is pray for Japan's recovery.

I'm with you on that one.

Holy fjord dude, you are nearing 800 posts and only been here a week.

I wonder how long it will take for me to reach 1000...

And a Xanadu cheese... I mean... OST even.

Nowadays... PC's have pretty much caught up with them.

Surpassed is the correct word.

Yes, that's it.

Just a customized text under my username, like "The self-appointed AF queen" or something.

Thanks I was trying to keep it short and hoping I didn't veer off the topic of animal suffering too far but I feel like our ways of life really reflects on it

Lifestyle and food production go hand in hand, and I can easily understand that was your general point. I much too often buy fast food and frozen food because it's so easy to cook, without thinking much about what's behind it.

I have never had either one.

Then what would you rather have?

Macintosh computers were vastly superior to the PC back in the early 90's and was the preferred platform for any kind of serious graphic designer or studio musician. Nowadays... PC's have pretty much caught up with them.

Thunderstorms are awesome, I wish they happened here more frequently than once every year or two. It sends shivers down my body hearing the claps echo across the sky.

Same here. Mesmerizing to experience them.

ha ha

So THAT was the song the programmers liked. XD

I knew I had heard that music somewhere before, but I couldn't remember the name of the game...

There are more, but those are the best in the collection.

I spy with my little eye two Pink Floyd classics.

I think in the end it also depends on your taste as a gamer and what you're in the mood for in general.

I'm gonna preorder DX:HR as well when I trust it's really coming out.

Taking a break from my Duke Nukem marathon to play some Fallout 3.

Hmm, now you've sparked my curiosity... I'll have to see about importing that some day.

Natural disasters are especially terrifying because you have no control over them.

 

And that makes them scary. I've never seen a tornado in real, and I hope I wont. I think such thing it pretty scary. I don't even want to imagine tsunami to see on my own eyes - but in the middle of europe it's quite impossible.

I've been within 2 miles of a class 5 tornado... Not that scary. I was only 4 years old, and I thought it looked cool and wanted to sit by our sliding glass porch window to watch it. lol

I feel the same thing about thunderstorms.

Uhh... think for a second... this wouldn't work.

 

Freeman's voice is the same as Mike's... just saying... (yes I know in the OP there's no Freeman talking).

I suppose it is the thought that counts.

Actually, to be honest, I never wanted any kind of titles. I just wanted to be able to write some text that appears under my username.

If I personally would but it in any kind of order,

1. Gameplay

2. Story

3. Graphics

4. Multiplayer

XP.

 

And Macs... Don't get me started on Macs...

(Actually, I really don't care. But it's fun to pretend that i do, especially around my Apple fanboy cousin )

 

Haha! I know how you feel. my friend has a mac and any time it has any kind of error or just hiccups I make a really big deal about it saying things like "Oh I thought it is a mac and IT JUST WORKS?!" I know Im being a jerk but its fun sometimes since they will talk about how mac is easier to use than PC and all that jazz.

For me, a computer is a computer, regardless of the brand.

I've seen fake videos actually. They're very fake. But I guess that's what is typical for fake videos.

Well as long as your not a radical vegan and screaming angry slogans like "You wouldn't eat your pets!" No I wouldn't I don't eat cats, dogs, or any other animal that eats other higher animal forms. (sorry I saw this on a bumper sticker and thought it was ridiculous).

Now, I completely agree with the general opinion that it is ok to eat animals but wrong to treat them like crap, and luckily we are getting more free range animal products and some without antibiotics. But unfortunately those are more expensive than regular meat.

Another downside is that majority of us prefer to buy pre-made foods (ie fast food, take out, frozen dinners) because it's easier and considering most of us need to work and feel like we do not have the time, or skill to cook, making pre-made meals the preferable choice. The restaurants or companies that make these meals usually don't want to reduce profits so they go with the lower grade meats, usually the animals that are full of chronic stress hormone (cortisol), which is not good for humans either, so pumped full of antibiotics that they get overdose side effects, and they don't get many vitamins, so in turn, neither do you.

Basically (before I go off on anymore of a tangent) I am just saying we should just try to change our style of life, calm down a little and cook for ourselves. But more importantly for our own health, eat a little less meat. Not saying you should not eat it at all but reducing your intake, especially when you are older and stop growing will help preventing heart disease and high cholesterol.

You have a lot of good points there.

Hmm, my readings are telling me this thread's geek factor is off the scale.

I use Win7 HP x64, and I've customized the various hidden services etc. (more security, more performance, less excess crap that 1 in 100000 people use)

That's pretty epic win right there.

George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford, and Paramount Pictures... Can't possibly go wrong with that combo. Add in Sean Connery for the Last Crusade, and you've got the winner!

Got that right.

I liked the original Mr.Pibb best of any drink ever. They replaced it with Pibb Extra, but that's just too sweet, and too thick of syrup... I've taken to cutting it with coke to make it taste more like the original.

Never heard of that before. Some kind of local cola?

I just preordered AC:B through Steam, hopefully it'll be good when it releases in 11 days...

I take it you're a bit hyped about it then?
