Where's oDDity?

Correct; and us not getting it is in reference to how poor the humour was

Wrong. It works fine on the 2.0 ghz processor I have

Right, found it under Fahrenheit, sorry. I guess you can toss this thread.

I have just completed Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit in Europe ), and I have to say that it was one of the most unique, visceral, interactive, gripping, and completely kickass gameplay experiences I’ve ever had. This was an extremely profound experience for me, and I was completely enthralled by it literally the entire way through. When I first began to play this, I played for almost a day straight through without realizing it. It never once occured to me that I should take a break, or do anything else like get dressed or shower; I literally couldn’t stop playing it. I believe that your experience with the game is entirely personal, and so it’s very difficult for me to accurately describe this game, and so I’m going to simply recommend that you at least try it once; rent it if you have a console. This is easily something that I would rate as one of the best adventure games ever made. Indigo Prophecy is available on everything except the Gamecube

This intrigues me. Anything online that we can look at?

If you want it both ways then there has to be much harsher punishments for abusers of drugs/alcohol who cause harm to others, because as it stands with current judicial systems they "get away with murder" far too often. A Big Brother approach (Orwell's 1984) doesn't work because of the ingrained attitudes towards those substances. A better approach would be modifying the attitudes towards them, which would take some generations to do. I found Huxley's Brave New World to be more in line with how to deal with the beast of society. With enough time and social engineering, you could make, for example, killing for social advancement a "good thing"

Not anything worth mentioning

There's a difference between substance use and substance abuse. The people who abuse drugs or alcohol will suffer major health problems, and even the occasional users will too.

Go to your Doctor's and say to them that you will not drink any more alcohol. If he's not a quack, he should say 'great'. Next some people are going to start listing the benefits of smoking tobacco...

Why the heck is the holiday always on a Thursday?

Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines......meaning Yes

Another form of national gaming control: According to German media reports, language introduced into a proposed revision to Germany's child protection laws targets violent video games in specific, and would place a ban on any game that depicted lethal violence. A coalition made up of CDU/CSU and SPD party members has drafted an updated version of the child protection statutes, originally put into effect in April 2003, part of which demands that violent games be banned for the sake of Germany's youth. As with several cases underway in the U.S. and Japan, the legislation would impose government controls above the existing German ratings classification. The anti-game language in the laws, according to comments made by parliament member Andreas Scheuer, is part of a wider effort to remove violent media from children's lives. The topic has been a hot issue in Germany since a high school student in the town of Erfurt staged a Columbine-esque shooting spree, resulting in the deaths of 16 before the student shot himself. The passage in question is so far a very minor part of the larger coalition effort, but has already come under criticism from several critics within Germany. Grietje Bettin, of Germany's Grün party, said that "The laws read in such a way as if the coalition partners are not familiar with the existing regulations at all." Olaf Wolters, head of Germany's interactive software association, said to Der Spiegel magazine that "As far as we are concerned, there are no such things as killer games, but adult games." http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=7227

Too many ask "Can We?" and go ahead before asking "Why?"

Wow, they shot a sparrow cause it disrupted their little game of dominoes If you have dinner with any of those guys from Endemol NV, make sure you kill their dog if it sniffs your shoes...

Really? I have my System Shock 2 on a Princo. Should I copy it off to something else. Any brand name suggestions?

I don't quite understand what you mean by that

Go 3 tier: 1. Backup harddrive 2. Backup to CD/DVD's 3. Invest in cheap but good data recovery program, such as R Studio

That's not a morale, it's just common sense

A Malaysian city is introducing a curfew for online gamers in a bid to stem a rise in the number of addicts. The authorities in Subang Jaya, near the capital Kuala Lumpur, say that from next year they will close down net cafes which allow patrons to play games late at night. Politicians decided to take the action after being approached by a worried mother whose son had gone missing. The teenager was found in a cyber cafe where he had been playing for 48 hours. Police monitoring Under rules due to come in next year, cyber cafes will have to set up different areas for gamers and for other internet users. Gaming areas will need a separate entertainment licence and will be required to close at midnight, even at weekends. Local lawmakers say they plan to deploy teams of officers to check on popular internet spots. Those found playing games after midnight will be told to leave, while cafe owners who ignore the rules face having their licences withdrawn. The plan has met with a mixed response from proprietors and gamers alike. Some believe the move will cut crime as well as preventing young gamers becoming addicted to their hobby, while gamers have expressed resentment at the intrusion. Computer gaming is a multi-billion dollar industry which attracts million of players in some Asian countries. It is a professional sport in South Korea, while in China a dispute over a game earlier this year resulted in murder. Quoted from the BBC

Sounds like someone hitting a homerun in a hallway.
