WTF?

did the servers not smell funny?

surely using this method would make the servers smell funny. would the liquid not be left behind?

I keep reading it as "Clit Bang", which suggests a different product.

he should have got a job at PC World

If he wanted to take pornographic pictures from other peoples PCs, he should have got himself a job at PC world.

I dont think he needs locking up for long. A week behind bars, a psychiatrist, and some free porn sites would be better.

X-COM UFO: Enemy Unknown

Thumb Up

this game is EPIC

I remember how addictive this game was, and its turn based nature meant each battle took ages to finish. Being able to research alien technologies and turn them into weapons for your troops gave the game long term appeal. Having a squad of troops that got increased experience and rank as they survived battles was also excellent. I used to love putting down smoke grenades for cover, then having my troops pop out and kill things. I think it would be great if someone did a modern realtime version of this game.

do the war laws apply to evil characters? Evil characters wouldnt be much fun if you had to obey international law. I think some people have too much time on their hands, to think of things like this. What kind of person thinks about the legal aspects of "Call of duty" for example.

Sony reveals slim PS3, drops price

dont like it-looks like a piece of junk

I have a second generation 40GB PS3. It looks great with its shiny finish, especially when on its side next to a plasma TV. This new PS3 slim looks like a cheap piece of rubbish. I would only buy one if you cant get hold of one of the classier looking existing units.

The new unit will reduce production cost and price, and is a sad reflection of the need to cut costs.
