Yes. However, we're not in an era of re-making films to make them better, anymore. Carpenter's remake is a wonderful film. The decision to remake a film today is purely a business decision. I mean, they assign some random MTV or advert director to them, hire whichever actor is flavour of...

Your Short Circuit link just revealed to me that... that they're remaking... (the bastards!) The Thing! If they f*ck this up (and they will) I am personally going to launch a Jihad. Who's with me? You'll have to bring your own explosives.

Hollwood doesn't need creative people anymore. Your average movie-goer is as discerning as a brick, when it comes to choosing high-quality entertainment. This is the final stage of capitalism, btw. Stage 1 was pricing a product or service according to its worth. Stage 2 was realising...

Saw it today. Please excuse my language: it was SHIT. Seriously. Script writing is a lost art. This film's script was stupid beyond belief. It also wanted to take the action everywhere at once, which is common with a lot of films these days. One minute we're here with these guys, now...

Kind of hard to imagine him bald and bearded too. The new fella looks more like Carl from ATHF than an aged Max Payne.

Miriam should be using her Probe Teams a lot. And University's weakness happens to be... vs probe teams :D :D

Reading this reminded me of another fetish I have. I like armoured trains with big guns. I don't know why. I want to play a game where you have to build railways everywhere, because your main weapons are freakin great big train-mounted guns. This is one of my weirder fetishes.

XCom 1.5 Turn-based, isometric. Co-op mode, Vs mode, tweaks here and there. Extra depth, research, more options. But still XCom gameplay.

It's on the 2nd easiest ;) "Experienced" level. All the aliens get their base stats, but there are fewer of them. With TFTD, this is a good thing, otherwise on the two-part missions you end up against 30-40 aliens, which would be almost impossible without using lots of saving and loading...

Like... like a montage! Yeah I might just do that. Biggest problem is the amount of disk space it takes to record the raw video and audio prior to encoding. I wonder if I can record encoded instead of recording raw. But that might take more CPU power than my oldschool Athlon can provide...

You're right. I know I am :/ I just hate seeing my men get killed... Have you seen Kikoskia's TFTD series? He's an entertainer, where I'm not. His men don't often live long, but it's sure fun to watch. I admit, when I was recording the terror mission, and it took me two hours, I was...

It takes a long, long time to even understand the game fully; and longer to be any good at it ;) Been playing SMAC for years and I still suck at it!

I've seen a ton of these now, and thought it might be fun to have a go myself. Feel free to tell me how I suck, or what I could do better =) http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=F0F1F9A04B79D0C6

I didn't pay to see T3, and I was damn glad afterwards (it was pretty bad). Do I really want to pay $10 to see T4? I don't know. I don't trust current-gen Hollywood to do anything right. And I also don't trust current-gen movie-goers to know a good film if they saw one. In a world...

I'm going to say Miriam. Partly to be contrary, and partly because nobody ever uses Miriam in these "Let's Play" threads. She can kick some ass too, if you focus on amassing units and using probes for stealing research. +25% attack is not to be scoffed at.

windows automagically defrags during period of user inactivity. which is why if yor leave your pc alone for some minutes you will see massive hdd activity. it also optimises file placement on the disk to prioritise frequently used files.

Well I guess it depends who you are and what you do. Let's face it, for the average user, the way we use Windows hasn't changed since win95. Your average guy on the street isn't going to see much if any difference between XP and Vista, apart from the new shiny looks. There are some...

Ah yes, I found some info. "Not really, DX10.1 was basically what DX10 should have been before Nvidia complained about the specifications. It gave something like a 30-40% performance boost in Assassins Creed before support for it was mysteriously removed, which is believed to be because...

Well apparently DX10 was going to be a much different beast than it ended up. Apparently (from what I've read), ATI managed to implement all of the DX10 features on time (that will now become DX11), but nVidia could not do so. At nV's request, therefore, MS dropped a lot of stuff from DX10...

Win7 RC is free until June 2010. MS is ending XP asap. Those two combined, I decided to download and install 7. Most of the changes, except a couple nice UI improvements, are under the hood. So you aren't really getting anything visibly better than Vista. Since I skipped Vista, this is...
