      Just finished playing this morning, this was awesome, in an old skewl way - would love to make a TDM homage to it...

      I'm using the CD with TG, T2 and T3 on it. Darkloader doesn't like it. I can't get TG FMs to work

    4. Sir Taffsalot

      Sir Taffsalot

      I assume it works with a TG only CD

  3. There is a day in your life when you turn to the Internet for entertainment and you discover it has nothing whatsoever to offer. Scary.

      He basically rips their whole argument apart piece by piece. I found it an excellent (and funny) read.

      Thanks lost_soul, that was a good read.

      There so much I want to do when I finish my job like work in DR and go to the gym but I'm just so busy at work that when I get home I just fall on the sofa and pass out. I barely have time to post on ye olde forum these days. I make sure I drop by at least once a day though and I really want to finish my map before the year finishes.

  5. Now travelling to: Novosibirsk & Akademgorodok. Bought a new cap.

      I'm pretty sure that Doom 3 modders are supposed to be the arch enemys of HL2 modders are (according to D3W). So, arguably TDM is their direct rival...? Well, probably Classic Doom 3 mod but it'll be fun to play with that rivalry idea anyway. Too bad Cruible wont be ready to be released the same day. DIE HL2 MODDER SCUM!! LoL

  8. So I just spent thirty minutes looking for my Thief Gold box, which was in plain sight on a bookshelf all along. I even inspected its area twice, but didn't find it due to its black box. I swear that thing was hiding in the shadows. :o

      @Sotha, but here in the Uk we always put the work Go at the the beginning of that sentence..

      Huh? Cannot understand. Sentence seems incomplete. "Put the work" on what? Go to the beginning of what sentence?

      Sotha: That was just the list of presentations - we held the roundtable in a beer garden due to the good weather, had a reception in the evening, and a field trip the next day. Lotsa stuff.

       

      Vae: That's really for the guests to say... but they seemed happy enough, so... :)

      I don't know how it was over there, or if you even got one, but coach hire in the UK was an absolute nightmare. They're such money grabbers, and all miserable as anything.

      In what way were they better?

      Melan

      Tarhiel: they would agressively look for "vantage points" to keep their distance and get a better shot at you, and as a consequence, were harder to catch.

      It's quite possible the article is satire, but vampire and related communities are real: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otherkin#Description The Bloodlines entry on GOG's community wishlist used to get a load of scam spam like http://rfjseddon.net/ext/vampire_spammers.png

  19. Papers, Please!: The nightmare of slowly but surely suffocating under bureaucratic paperwork you have to deal with under increasingly desperate circumstances. Masterful intense, bleak, and surprisingly realistic.

      This game is orders of magnitude more fun than it initially seems. I definitely recommend trying it if you're in the mood for something strange and amusing.

      It's got a black sense of humor for sure. I saw a video review of it and played it after that. Yes it is more fun than it looks, when you add the situations and personalities and humor.

  20. All work and no play makes Melan a dull boy.

      Wow, The Fly. Why's he wearing lipstick? I... have several questions.

    3. ERH+

      ERH+

      Once Brundle-fly dreamt he was a whole family, merged with Geena Davis (what a nice idea) and her unborn baby. So maybe it is a part of this transgender deep Self merging of polarities and achieving godlike wholeness... by wearing lipstick and not shaving legs at the same time. Deep.

      This thread is now cooking... The Fly traumatized me at the age of 13... I was so jaded then... boom.. The Fly just eroded my comfort zone with horror flicks.

      If you have Microsoft One Note installed you could maybe screenshot the .pdf pages and then drag them in to One Note and "copy text from picture"
