It was a fucking masterpiece. They can't do the equivalent death animations properly today, ten years later with approx. 1.14 megawatts of CPU power.

So... feel like joining NATO now?

in which foxnews have you got lost in? . Oh look, a Russian nationalist agitator. How quickly they grow up; one minute they're in jackboots stomping communism into the faces of everyone in their way in the name of the proletariat, the next they're wearing jackboots stomping fascism into the faces o...

Wasn't it the fifth anniversary of the Bush speech under "mission accomplished" -banner, like, a week ago or something? We got ourselves a new Chechenya--Vietnam-Iraq-breed! Modern guerilla warfare, yeehaw! And this time, it's right next door! Hot damn, maybe we'll let slip the dogs of wa...

The Sheriff of Megaton.

and he puts them away in his desk drawer. That's it.

Torment was the best of that lot, without a shadow of a doubt. I'll be surprised if Fallout 3's dialogue is more complex than that of Half-Life.

Also, why are those Polish bastards into polygamy now?

I believe the American Association of Retired Persons already vetoed that one, and no-one cares about westerns today.

Harlan Ellison was pissed about the ending of the movie (it's different).

I think it inspired the director of Le Dernier Combat as well. Bloody good stuff.

Uhh, maybe because Cavelli didn't do any combat? Thirty minutes is plenty of time to see if the dialogue is shit and the NPCs are cookie-cutter shells. If you avoid the combat, Tom.

Good but not spectacular performance by Ledger, saved the movie, but the amounts of unbelievability in the whole thing were just absurd. What, the Joker just wired up the whole fucking city with explosives while no-one was watching? All his henchmen are spec-ops supermen who never screw up or deviat...

I think I'd rather play Mirror's Edge. At least it's honest about what it is. Fallout 3 seems to be dripping dishonesty ("It's an RPG, really! I mean, there are guys talking, and, like, you have the Bloody Mess trait!").

I didn't see much of anyone making a fuss when there was a 'graphic' sex scene in ... ah ... I forget the name. Game has to be popular first. With any luck that won't be the case with F3. Politicians only notice games when some crackhead who owns GTA commits a murder or some idiot suburban parent s...

Should have killed him before he had the chance to report you. Now you know for next time.

Quick, someone write a hot coffee mod for f3 so it can be banned in the US as well.

The only thing that I found mildly entertaining was the lockpicking effect, which beats clicking on a button, and the addition of radio station, which unfortunately reminds me of the Burnout games. Other than that it was complete rubbish, with Doom-like visuals and ridiculous ragdoll NPCs. It's also...

Oh, they're here alright, they're just subliminal and you can't see them.

Truecrypt for everything else you want to keep encrypted. Also free.

BCWipe, PGP desktop, Keyscrambler.

My e-penis is longer than yours. Take a look at all 1920x1200 pixels o' mine.

I know, it's unfortunate. I bet you just pretend to be gay so you can get attention. I remeber that picture you posted of you at a party with some girl and you were both like outcasted by everyone. We were outside smoking on a bar patio in the freezing March weather. And there were a few of us. And...
