Pull the Mouse out of the back of the computer and slide it across the floor.  Maybe monsters are scared of mice 

Download Chrome.

But... bone torches are way more rock and roll \m/

-Take the Dead Body's sweater off and wrap it around the bone.  It could be used as a torch o O (if only you could get back to the car for some petrol...)

That totally sucks man.  Why did your roommates just suddenly decide not to help you anymore?  Did they have a geniune reason, or just being total arseholes?

Hope you get sorted, mate.

Wikipedia is playing up for me.  The pages don't load properly.  They look like just basic HTML, like some of my early attempts at web design.  It looks like I'm somehow accessing the mobile versions of the pages, even though the URLs are correct.  Any idea of any browser (Chrome) settings that I could play with to fix this?

It only seems to be affecting Wiki. Havent come across it on any other sites.
Cheers

Turns out this was a simple 'clear cache' jobby.  I feel a tad stupid 

I really like She's waiting in the Attic.
Don't have 30 big-one's lying around though

Try chat, chaps

Try that, Bob
Check you're male.

I might decide to use G+ a bit more maturely.

Of course! Links to YouTube and Twitter! The peak of maturity!

Haha, I said 'might'... I need to weigh up the options...

@Jon - check your Gmail

@Mods - I clung on to Myspace for all my life until I was forced to concede that nobody used it anymore.  Had a grudge against Facebook from day one and it only ever got worse.  And I made things worse for by adding all my old school friends (which at the time seemed like FB's only redeeming quality).  With Google I'm going to be a bit more fussy about who I add.  I no longer play Pokemon so I haven't got that 'gotta catch 'em all' mentality.  Facebook can be where I dump all my shit jokes and rubbish updates that no-one wants to read,  I might decide to use G+ a bit more maturely.

Aw man, I want to be involved in this magical AGS pixie circle.

And...and.. Google had webcammy type talking technology built into gmail and that other thing they did that I can't remember the name of so maybe this could one day replicate the magic that used to happen on the AGS Stickam rooms.
I got powerfully nostalgic for those today.

Check your Gmail Eggie.
G+ does have 'Hangouts' where you can get up to ten people with webcams together.  I'm without cam at the moment so I haven't been able to try it, but apparently it's pretty good.

Haha, yes thats me
Theres a few AGSers in my circles if you have a snoop.
Trouble is not knowing everyone's faces or real names.  G+ should have a way to label friends with a nickname, especially if you only know them by their internet handle (do we still call it a 'handle' these days?)

Haha, I guess I just have one of those faces 

I agree it doesn't really seem to be doing anything that you can't paricularly already do with other tools, but it seems to be doing a good job of bringing these things together and not making a total dogs dinner of it.  Another thing G+ seems to be aiming to do is to make its other products more accessible using G+ as a kind of hub.  Google Wave tried this (and did a good job, I thought) but it was missing the Facebook-esque social element.

I still think it will take something shy of a miracle to convert the masses away from Facebook, but if they manage to convert enough cool people to keep it going and keep the chavs festering on Facebook, then I won't mind.

Anyone on it yet?
What do you think?

I'm liking it at the moment.  It's a nice toy for sure and its certainly a lot less nosey than Facebook, although it's difficult to decide if it is really going to compete.  I prefer it as a tool, but then I've always had a bit of a grudge against FB. FB was good at allowing me to get in touch with old school friends, but now I've been in touch with them and have no reason to talk to them again.

I feel there is a lot more that can be done with G+, but I guess that's what these early stages are for.  I've had to unfollow some people that I had been following because they post too much and clog up my stream, but some clever things can be done with the circles to avoid such problems, it's just a case of fiddling around.

If anyone wants a look, PM me your gmail address and I should be able to send you an invite. :-)

My browser froze when I loaded this link last night.  Probably just a coincidence, but just thought I'd mention it.

Haha, he is a cute kid for sure!
I've voted, and expect that in return you train him well in the ways of the adventure gamer.

Has anyone else heard the news that Charles Cecil, the man who gave us Broken Sword and Beneath a Steel Sky, to name a few, has won an MBE in recognition of his "services to the computer game industry".  That is good news for adventure fans if ever there was any.

Congrats Mr. C!

Interesting peice there Tim.  And it doesn't even mention the war...

Yeah, come on guys.  Give us another game.  Go on, just one more.  I promise this'll be the last one.  I need one more hit guys, just one more FUCKING HIT!!!!!
