Love the music though. Very fearsome.Now I've never been a fan of that one. But then I've always liked the more feelgood ones - Emerald Hill, Casino Night et al.

Yeah, I do like a good feel-good tune like that, especially earlier on in games, but I'm also a big fan of darker and more severe tunes that come in later on. The Mega Man games usually have good ones.

Bar, I still haven't beaten the last boss of that one.

One ring, that's all I ask. ONE ring!
Nobody ever had any trouble finding One Ring.

Are you sure about that? I mean, there's only one, so only one person can have it. There's probably a whole bunch of other people who are looking for it on the other side of the planet. You never know.

That doesn't necessaraly mean that it is hard to get. Just hard to hold on to for any extended period of time.

Also, a force field prevents me from picking up the ingredients.

I just turned 18 today, and apparently either the law was changed or is about to be changed so you have to be 21+ to drink alcohol here -.-

:rolleyes:

Happy birthday, though.

Happy Birthday.

Does anyone actualy cares, though, if you drink under age? I know in Russia nobody cares when a bunch of 14 year olds get drunk. I know, I've been one of them a few times.

Sonic 3's Doomsday is the best.

But you need Sonic & Knuckles as well.

Edit: Happy B-day!:D

Sonic 3's Doomsday is the best.Yah, that's a good one too.

Anyone else here read Richard Feynmann's QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter? That's a fun book.

Anyone read Demons Don't Dream by Piers Anthony? entertaining book

Watching the presidential debate.

Bush just interrupted the moderator.

That was funy. Though, he did improve a lot from last time, but he is still more moronic than a monkey.

My cat was just sitting next to me and watching the cursor move around on the screen.

lol

I want my cat to do that.

Not really, but it's still not easy to get the stuff

I can't get enough of the Valve's Source Engine!!!! Play CSS' map cs_office is so awesome. Blowing everything up from computers to plasma screen TVs to file cabinets!!! The physics are loads of fun and the character models are awe-inspiring. I NEED HALF-LIFE 2 NOW!!!!!!

*explodes with overwhelming excitement*

I'm writing this using Dasher.

i wrote this with on-screen keyboard. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

My spoon is too big.

There is no spoon.

It damn well looks like a spoon to me.

I have a fork!

*beats sup with a big sign that reads "Ban spoonguard"*

"Oh my god, he's got a spoon!"
"Damn! I knew I opened the wrong drawer this morning!"

I just picked SSBM back up.

I think Marth might just be my best character.

Pffft. Kirby all the way!

I said my best character, not the best character. ;)

I don't believe there is a best character.

Memo to self: Empty bedroom trash far more often.

You know it's been a while when you actually find a mysterious green gelatinous substance in the bottom of your trash can. I had to go hose the damn thing out.

i hate Automatic Updates. downloading always seems to jam somewhere and then the bugger tray icon doesn't go away.
on another matter, does anyone know how to get rid of SP2's Security Center? it's the most annoying thing i've seen, since no matter how much you tell it to not annoy you, as soon as you restart settings return to default and there it is again to make your life miserable! :mad:

There is no spoon.
Some people would say that this makes it very difficult to eat soup. But you have to remember that there is no soup either. You might then ask how is it that after you eat it you are not hungry anymore. And these of you who are paying attention have probably allready guessed that there is no hunger either. So next time you feel hungry, remember that it is just an illusion, and even if it isn't, there is nothing you can do about it, because there is no spoon.

My computer decided to restart without my consent while I was having dinner. Or at least I suppose that's what happened, as I was having dinner and when returning had the Select User screen with no user (there's only 1 :p) currently logged in.
My computer's weird.

Aren't everyone's?

Cheetos are great - especially the poofy ones.:D

Although I quite dislike the spicy ones.

You can always just eat it directly from the boul(suposing it's not too hot)

I just felt a sudden learch. I think it was a minor earthquake.

That must have been Windows Update. It prompted me to restart every 5 minutes with a countdown.

Literally. It's a bowl.

Unless you're talking about those water-filled miniature bowls (the rolling kind, not the eating kind), but they're boules.

Anyone else here own a boules set?

Doesn't sound like Windows Update to me....

Do you have Ad Aware?
I had a dream about quantum universes. I’d go through one story, then I’d go to another, and one thing would be different from the “master” story that would change the outcome. I woke up to find that when I did something, like sit on the curved edge of the tub to pet the cat, I kind of had a “physic” vision in my minds eye of me slipping backwards and hitting my head on the other edge. What???

Doesn't sound like Windows Update to me....

Do you have Ad Aware?sounds more like Automatic Updates. if you don't restart, it sodds you off with the same "Restart now?" message every minute. though it never gave me any countdown.

yes i have Ad-Aware. though it seems IE has got (don't know how, i only use it for gmail) some sort of Adware that Ad-Aware doesn't detect/remove and seems to randomly (as in, ramdom times) create stupid shortcuts (Casino, Gambling, XXX, etc.) in my desktop and IE Favorites folder. it also lays on the hdd in C:\Program Files\DOWNLOAD MESS DATE (yes, in caps) and i can't delete it because it's in use, though i can't find the sod in the Task Manager.

BAH TO IE AND ADWARE! :mad:

Try updating the reference file, or you could report it to ad-aware so they can figure out what it is if you have something that isn't in the referance file.

Restart in safe mode, and delete it
That woked with me once I got something similar to that installed(it created a new random folder like every 10 minutes, and it made the pc run sloooow and it wouldn't let me delete it cause it was "in use", by the time I found it there were like 100 folders with a similar name each)(all in caps too :p)

OMG there's a Doom 3 patch (http://www.doom3.com/update.asp)! will this be the one that will finally fix my problem? i hope so :)
my only problem is:
Note on previously saved games - This update will NOT make previous single player saved games useless. When loading a saved game, or continuing from your last auto-save, you will start at the beginning of that same map, with the inventory that you had going into that map, fully intact. Using this update will reset the Nightmare skill setting. If you were playing in Nightmare mode before applying the 1.1 update, you will need to re-enable it by pressing ctrl + alt + ~, and typing 'g_nightmare 1' (no quotes) at the console (for more information about how to enter the console, please see the readme file). Then save the game and reload that new save for Nightmare mode to work properly.well, i guess restarting a level beats not being able to finish the game. but will it work? stay tuned to find out ;)
Try updating the reference file, or you could report it to ad-aware so they can figure out what it is if you have something that isn't in the referance file.i have the reference file updated. how do i report it?
Restart in safe mode, and delete iti'll have to try that, though it'll probably return more powerful. the first time it showed i could delete it, now it returned and i can't delete it. next time it'll probably be a virus :p

My cat is arguing with another cat :-/
It all started a while ago, it was quite quiet then suddenly WEAAAAAOWWWEEAAAAAAOOWAAAAAAWWW then some random crash noises and stuff, and since then they've been arguing.

What are they arguing about? Are they using any good arguements?

"... Bananas do not lick syrup! It's just that simple!"
"No, Trevor, it's rather complex actually, you seem to ignore an important fact..."

I really don't know, it's got something to do with a "MEAAAAAOW" or something, IMO I think they are being quite childish

By the way, if anybody ever winds up playing SSBM with me, don't gang up on me all at once. I'll get quite angry.

On a related note, Gamecube controllers are very durable. :p

I've just realised summat: Trevor and Fushia are philby's cats, not Mtl's...

Whoops.

I'm thinking of getting Max Payne 2 in the future because I love the demo. Do you guys recommend it. It's only $20 now so is it worth it?

Portugal keeps amusing me:
"Recent News: A car went out of control and crashed on highway A2. A passing pickup truck stopped and the driver tried to help the guy that crashed. What did the guy do? Beat the crap out of the "helper" and toof off in his pickup truck. When Police arrived at the scene, they only found the crashed car and the helper knocked out on the road."
Moral of the story: Don't try to help people that crash :rolleyes:

It's a good game, but it's very short. Only 5 - 8 hours or so (depending on how you're playing).

If you play like me (screw everything, just kill, kill, run, run, kill) it's 4 - 5 hours. If you play more like 'explore, explore, explore, kill, explore, explore, explore, fiddle around with physics, explore,' it's around 8 - 10 hours.

Actually I got the credits, a cheesy but amusing cut scene of James McCloud dancing like an idiot to his theme song, and 40 tickets.

I clearly had too much time to spare last night:

Theme from,
Em-erald Hill,

This is the theme from,
Em'rald Hill Zone,
With its nifty opening chords,
This the theme from,
Em'rald Hill Zone,
It'll never make you bored,

It's also got two diff'rent instruments,
Performing on the mel'dy line,
- Oh yes it has!
There's some nice interplay going on,
Which I think is rather fine,
- Oh yeah!

It's the theme from the Em'rald Hill Zone,
Sing it loud and sing it clear!
It's the theme from the Em'rald Hill Zone,
Shout and cheer!



Wel-come to,
Ca-si-no Night Zone,
We really do hope,
That you enjoy your stay,
With so few bad-niks,
To get in your way,
You can wan-der through and,
Really take your time.

There's lots to do,
In Casino Night Zone,
Those slot machines,
Can give you lots of rings,
We're being gen'rous,
But, there's a snag,
The boss is a monster,
So you're gonna need all,
The rings that you can possibly get.

lol, I guess. Pretty cool, though.

So, having beaten Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 and Knuckles and all points in between, my new chore is to beat Sonic 1.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I couldn't resist the urge to say it: If Paul can do it... ;)

I clearly had too much time to spare last night:
I have no idea what the tune to those should have bee, therefore I made one up. It sucked. I now hate all Sega games by association. I hope you're happy.

You know, I'm not sure if the last boss of Sonic 2 can be beaten with Knuckles. :confused:

I have no idea what the tune to those should have bee, therefore I made one up. It sucked. I now hate all Sega games by association. I hope you're happy.Maybe these'll change your opinion:

Why does Paul have Sonic midis coming out of his armpits?

Why does Paul have Sonic midis coming out of his armpits?Simple. I collect MIDIs, paticularly computer game ones, and particularly Sonic ones.

I have around 700 MIDIs, around 400 computer game ones and around 170 Sonic ones.

EDIT: Actually, 700 is an overestimate as several of those are old semi-complete MIDIs that I've made myself. Still over 550, though.

My struggle to become an F-Zero GX master continues. I've beaten the first two cups on Master, but the third seems iffy and I dread to think about the last one.

BUT I SHALL PREVAIL! *dramatic music and camera angle*

By the way, you're an early riser, Paul. ;) By my standards, anyway. Granted, I usually wake up at noon now that I'm out of work...

F-Zero GX... F-Zero GX... i take it it's related to the F-Zero Maximium Velocity i have for GBA?

I figured it was something like that.F-Zero GX... F-Zero GX... i take it it's related to the F-Zero Maximium Velocity i have for GBA?Yep. F-Zero GX for the Gamecube is the fastest and most intense racing game ever.

Does anyone know where I can find a video game "box office" type of thing, in which it tells you how well a game did?

You have a phone call.

Are they allowed to take the ID card? In US the ID is a property of the state, so only a state official can take it away.

Do mods get to see the original, unedited post? Or is it only with delleted posts? And if you do, what about the posts that where edited right away and don't have "Last edited..." line?

Do mods get to see the original, unedited post? Or is it only with delleted posts? And if you do, what about the posts that where edited right away and don't have "Last edited..." line?
If a post is edited the original is lost forever. I don't know if Sel can look at it.

If you edit a post quickly (even if someone's seen it) it doesn't add the "edit by" line unless you give a reason for editing. I don't know what happens if a mod edits someone else's post that quickly. Possibly it lets it go through. That would be amusing.

We can read deleted posts. Personally I think users should be able to see their own deleted posts and, if it was them who deleted it, undelete them. This would also allow them to read reasons given by mods who delete their posts (but not reverse the decision).

id like to rant about UX getting carried away with my rants about n00bs, and am quite proud that spadge came to the forum to see what was going on lol

Newbie is a bit of a silly categorisation anyway, given that experience is a gradual gradient rather than a discrete number of classes.

Actually, according to quantum theory, experience is quantised into discreet packets called "senions".

To be frank, they bore me. Unless they're roasted and alongside parnsips given the same treatment, in which case they are the bee's knees!

That statement can, in fact, be used to describe any noun you like.

Even parsnips?

Spot the subliminal message!

*nonsenes*

Spot the subliminal message!Sorry, but it's a quarter to midnight and I can't be arsed.

Hence my misspelling of "nonsense" in the above.

Ender's Game is an excellent book.

Spot the subliminal message!
Logically, if it's subliminal then by definition we can't spot it.

I've just dropped my QM course this term.

This means that I now have nine o'clock lectures three days of the week, and no lectures at all on the other four. Weird.

Why did you drop QM??? It contains the only bits of truth that you'll ever be told in the University.

That's not true at all. IIRC, Paul's on a maths degree and therefore by definition everything in the subject is true (though much of it is more or less academic).

I stand corrected. The only bits of truth about the real world.

That's not true at all. IIRC, Paul's on a maths degree and therefore by definition everything in the subject is true (though much of it is more or less academic).Hey, we make (and occasionally break) the ciphers that keep the world's economy in shape!

Though fair play, I can't see how much use Analysis, say, would be in that scary place known as The Real World. But Number Theory is becoming more and more critical.

IMO, if you don't understand many world int., you don't know anything about real world.

Not a tip but more so of a request, Paul find me a pet shop in the Ontario province which sells Hamsters for cheap, I'm too lazy to do actual research.Can't find one, but I have found something mildly disturbing:

OTTAWA — The Public Health Agency of Canada is warning Canadians in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and northwestern Ontario who have purchased a dwarf/pigmy or regular hamster in the past three months of a potential health concern.

Ill hamsters from a pet distributor in Manitoba have tested positive for Type B tularemia. It is a rare and usually mild disease in humans that can be treated with antibiotics. In rare cases, some forms of tularemia can be fatal.

The purpose of this advisory is to ask people who have purchased a hamster in the past three months to contact their health care provider if both they and their hamster have experienced illness.

"We believe the risk to human health is low, but if people have sick hamsters and are feeling ill themselves, we want them to advise their health care provider," Dr. David Butler-Jones, the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada, said in a release.

Ill hamsters, along with other small mammals -- including chinchillas, guinea pigs, and gerbils -- that were included in shipments with the hamsters, were sent to pet stores in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and northwestern Ontario. At present, there is no indication of illness in the other animals.

The British Columbia Centre for Disease Control, Alberta Health and Wellness, Saskatchewan Health, Manitoba Health, the Ontario Minister of Health and Long-term Care and the Public Health Agency of Canada are working together closely on an investigation.

weather here seriously can't make up his mind. you see heavy rain and wind outside so you take an umbrella and a coat. by the time you're outside the rain has ended and it's sunny and calm. so you decide to leave the umbrella and coat at home and by the time you're home, it's raining again. and so you go get them again and it starts to rain. etc.

I breifly skimmed the thread and wrote my reply, his response "thank you for your worthless reply" and other crap he was going on about

So, I made a mistake, reported myself to the Mod and sworn not to come back for two days there

OMG there's a Doom 3 patch (http://www.doom3.com/update.asp)! will this be the one that will finally fix my problem? i hope so :)

i have the reference file updated. how do i report it?
i'll have to try that, though it'll probably return more powerful. the first time it showed i could delete it, now it returned and i can't delete it. next time it'll probably be a virus :p

Glod darn it! I gave my mum a list of computer parts to pick up, but I forgot to tell her to get 2 sticks of RAM.

Even worse, the power supply I want is only available online, but it's out of stock. And it needs to be MATX (Micro ATX) instead of the usual ATX, so I can't just get a different one.

But I got my 128MB ATI Radeon 9200 PCI video card!:D

Evertime I go in there to the R Zone(Electronics section) I feel like a kid. :o

anyone knows how to get Opera to show a page BEFORE it fully loads? like, show the page as it loads, as it should, instead of having to wait for every kind of pointless crap (like ads) to load so the page shows up?
specially annoying when the pointless crap doesn't load so you get stuck there and have to hit Stop and sometimes Refresh for the page to show. or when a flash movie has loaded and is playing, BUT YOU STILL CAN'T SEE IT BECAUSE SOMETHING ELSE IS LOADING! :mad:

Try this:

1. Install Opera.
2. Run Opera.
3. Navigate to a webpage.

That's what I did and it worked.

Buy a brand new computer for myself, several musical instruments, and probably some music classes
Sell magizines, yard work, part-time-job, buy one of those M&M's fundraiser thingies.
Yard work won't really work here because most houses don't have a yard around here, the yard is quite small for them to care or they already have someone working for them on that
And in some cases, they would rather do the work themselves than paying someone to
Selling magazines, that ain't that much a good bussiness around here
Part time job, already got one, doesn't pay much at all

Incidentaly, today I learnt that my father is a complete idiot.

*is stabbed* *deflates* *catches fire* *explodes*

How idiotic is he?

I offered a solution to our echonomical problems(which costed me at some point a lot of money i had already saved), and he refuses to try anything because he thinks I shouldn't get involved in that, and because he thinks I'm being disrespectfull and that that is a sin
His current plan is selling a terrain he got some time ago, giving us that money and leaving to live by his own

edit: he is also the kind of person that cares more about what people think about him than what happens to his family(which has got him to get really involved in religion, because he wants to become a "saint" so that at some point people will admire him)

edit 2: he also believes he can read souls :rolleyes:

That's pretty idiotic, yeah.

His current plan is selling a terrain he got some time ago, giving us that money and leaving to live by his own
That seems like a good plan to me.

I think I should probably come off the net now, it's starting to affect my mind...

That seems like a good plan to me.
He's been trying to sell that terrain for 2 years, and for some reason he believes he's gonna sell it in less than one month(he probably talked to god, who knows)
What was your solution suggestion?
My mom's income, that is the rent of 2 locals is barely enough to pay up for monthly expenses, and my dad income who knows what he's spending it in, because he barely gives any money, he just every now and then brings something to the house(usually things we don't want or need)
So If they merged those 2 incomes, and any decission about what to spend on was taken by both my parents, or even us included, I'm quite sure it would suffice to live well without any further problems, but he refuses to do this, because he thinks he shouldn't be asking us permission to use his money

I'm quite sure it would suffice to live well without any further problems

After careful deliberation, I'll safely say that I'm with you, hopefully your financial (if that is what is going on) problem solves soon. No one wants to really be in that kind of environment.

I now have $160 000 000 in X-COM TFTD.

it's common sense that the project gets shut down if all countries stop funding you. if the whole world doesn't care about you, why would you exist? you're not one of those "rebellion groups", you're a "government project" so you have to keep them happy or you're screwed :p

After just finding out that Leviathan I built a long time ago can take me to T'leth I have since finished the game. I didn't know I could get there already - I thought I needed to destroy all 12 synomium devices before I could beat the game.

After just finding out that Leviathan I built a long time ago can take me to T'leth I have since finished the game. I didn't know I could get there already - I thought I needed to destroy all 12 synomium devices before I could beat the game.

Speaking of which, what happens if you destroy all 12 devices? Nothing?To beat the game you just need to complete T'leth, and to get T'leth you just need to unlock the Leviathan and the T'leth mission info, which you should get with a live alien commander.
even if you destroy all the alien colonies in the world, the game automatically creates a new one on a random place so that if you still haven't gotten a commander from one, you always have a colony to get one from. and so that you always have a colony to keep you busy.
so, to put it shortly, if you never go to T'leth, you can play the game forever and ever and... well, you get the picture :p

btw, if you have a REAL lot of time in your hands, you can complete alien colony missions by killing all the aliens instead of just destroying the symonium device. that way you recover everything in the colony.

I mean the artifact sites. The ones that appear on the map as pink crosses instead of squares. The UFOPedia says there are 12 of them. Probably nothing happens - you just don't find any more or something.

I took a base once by capturing every alien alive in an attempt to find the commander. Of course I didn't have enough Alien Containment facilities to hold them all and the commander wasn't one of the ones it kept. I later managed to get just a commander. I also took an artifact site by killing all aliens and leaving the device intact, hoping to capture some great technology, but all I got of use was 515 aqua plastics. (which I sold)

Speaking of live aliens, how do you capture big aliens that take 4 squares alive? I hit them with the Thermal Shok Launcher and yet it appears they die anyways.

hmmm... don't know about that, i never tried to kill all aliens in a colony. you can always try and put the equipment you want to recover on your soldier's backpack or on the entrance pad or something.
