Re: Been running Adblock Plus for years...

Because you're not used to it. The rest of us have our own in-built Adblock now :)

Re: Yawn

Your TV is a webserver and a print server?

Gazareth

Re: Black Sheep is not a Peter Jackson film

But his company Weta Workshops were heavily involved.

And it's more or less a remake of Brain Dead, which actually is Peter Jackson's best work.

Re: Correct Horse Battery Staple

I do wonder if CorrectHorseBatteryStaple has made it into the top 10 most frequently used passwords yet.

Gazareth

It's Valve

So it'll actually be released sometime around 2022?

Gazareth

Re: "should this one ever die"

Agreed. My Model M is older than I am!

Gazareth

Re: @Gareth

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

Gazareth

"some of the positive charge on the insect may transfer to the plant"

It's been a while since I did it at school, but doesn't electricity work the other way round?

Re: SimTower + Streets Of Sim City

Man, I thought I was the only person who played SimTower!

Gutted when I lost the disk :(

Gazareth

Re: Optional

SCART was the work of Satan.

USB's just one of his kid's school homework projects.

Gazareth

Re: The gist

Sounded to me like they were discussing breakfast, or last night's football!

Another day, another meteorite...

Gazareth

Re: Classical Underworld?

Ah, missed that, was thinking no one had used it yet!

Gazareth

Classical Underworld?

Got to be Slippy & Cowgirl.

Gazareth

Re: You can see our house from up there!

Do you two live next door to me or something?

Gazareth

It was, until they bought Alienware. XPS is more the 'Premium' brand rather than performance nowadays.

"Is there a reason you've totally hidden the "comments" box?"

Top left. So that those who want to make reactionary uninformed comments without reading the article don't have to scroll to the bottom :)

Re: I just don't get it...

"fuck the people sitting next to me"

Be rude not to, really.

Re: "If Elop was not a Trojan horse, then he would have kept Symbian and Meego alive"

@Eadon: "Elops destruction of Nokia only makes sense if he's a trojan horse, nothing else fits."

Seems odd that you'd make the assertion that Ballmer is doing the same thing to MS, and then come up with that in the very same thread!

Why not say:

Ballmer's destruction of Microsoft only makes sense if he's a (Linux/Unix/open source) trojan horse, nothing else fits.

Re: Thanks, Ace.

It'll taste almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.

Gazareth

Correct, they're referring to the online lesbian magazine.

Gazareth

26 for me

Which seems to put me much higher up the list than I'd expected!

Re: Good review...

Easy explanation for lack of fauna - any species that run towards explosions/gun fire/big metal exoskeletons have become extinct. The fauna's there, it's just heading rapidly away from you :)

Gazareth

Loved the 7th Guest

D was good as well, although I suspect it hasn't aged well.

Half Life gave me a few jumpy moments, and the Ravenholm level in HL2...

The opening of Bioshock, where you're trapped in the Bathysphere had the heart racing too!

Gazareth

Re: Still no Zombies?

There were loads out last night. Killed about 15 of them myself. Dunno why they were all carrying sweets.

Gazareth

In these cases, I tend read 'Hacked'

as mate got hold of my phone & stitched me up...

Gazareth

Notro

Always worked for me. TIFKAM is too much of a mouthful too.

Gazareth

Union Flag parachute, Lotus, Underwater Lair, Sharks, Jaws, Barbara Bach and Caroline Munro (mmm Naomi). Not to mention a cracking theme song :)

Gazareth

Re: OHMSS

Ooo forgot how good that track is... Hope it's on Spoitfy!

Gazareth

Re: I followed that link to the past excuses.

Lost a 2-week old pair of Raybans once this way.

Funnily enough, I've not done it again since!

Gazareth

That website's horrific

And why are the 24-month mobile broadband prices higher than the 18-month?

Gazareth

Re: Bullshit pricing

Alright Betty?

Gazareth

Re: Glitches

It's not a Bethesda title - they're just publishing it.

Arkane Studios are the development team.

Enjoying it so far, do keep thinking at points that Batman: AC was more fun though.

Gazareth

Re: Not eccentric - intelligent, practical and sensible.

Don't work in my office do you?

Gazareth

Re: How did pork

Breadcrumbs, Red, White, No.

And now that's done, we can talk Super Noodle sandwiches.

I'll start with... Bacon flavour :)

Gazareth

Re: But what about the books?

Yeah, that got a laugh in the cinema.

He orders the drink as described above near the start of the card game.

There's a moment of quiet reflection, then most of the rest of the players order one too. Le Chiffre is a little wound up by this.

Gazareth

Re: It doesn't take take thousands of years

The Algebraist by Iain M. Banks had some similar issues in the semi-background.

People on the slow ships being overtaken by the quicker method.

And then the quicker method gets broken.

Gazareth
Happy

To all not getting these columns...

... I prescribe catching some episodes of Nathan Barley.

Not making sense is much of the point of these columns :)

Gazareth

Omnishambles

Because I like the word.

Gazareth

Re: Tried to rate article 11 out of 10

That's because Christopher Guest holds the patent on that.

Gazareth

The Poster Who Was Thursday?

Gazareth

Re: Piffle

Nope, it's the very definition of a procedural show, which they all are & the production of which the US have got down to a fine art.

Gazareth

Re: I think she's read "The Culture: Look to Winward"

The Dwellers were wheel shaped or something?

Sounds more like his companion the littler Hathering or whatever her name was.

Gazareth
Headmaster

Loved playing this years ago, you're right that not many other sports games can matched its fast & fun gameplay!

On a pedantic note, in his current role as England manager, Roy Hodgson doesn't actually have the option to buy & sell players...

Gazareth

Re: Arse Technica

I'd attribute it to AutoCorrect myself.

Gazareth

Re: From the article and comments, we can deduce 2 things;

Early 30's.

Gazareth

Re: Frank Frankovsky

Finally, somebody commented on it :)

Cracking name!

Gazareth

Re: 30 RUN

It appears he's not the only one!

Gazareth

Re: Why is it only for premium users?

I seriously doubt the pricing model is the dev's decision ;)

Gazareth

Re: Beta is good

I hope they hurry release then, the current version is ruddy awful!

Gazareth

Re: Surely an invention?

I'm wondering myself!
