I don't think you can just plug in a laptop hd into a computer, but I'm sure there are ways to solve that.
You really should try to fix that usb problem. Is it phisical or virtual broken.

BACKUP YOUR GAMES, PEOPLE!

LOL. When I read the title, heroine made me think of something different.

Ah. my bad. Sorry.

And where would ROAE go on the timeline?

that's funny. they say "Michael Jackson in coma" when i visit cnn.

But, yeah, small chance that you come back from cardiac arrest, and since Wacko hasn't looked healthy since his Thriller album I'd say he's never going to sing again. He was a good man, especially to kids.

I have a question.
MI4, WTF?

Jet, I know my words might not have been the best choice.  She's probably not 'perfect' to anyone else, but to me, she is.  It's not so much putting her on a pedestal, it's just the best way I could describe her.  She has her faults, but I love her regardless of them.  Hell, some of them are endearing to me.
...
Maybe I didn't chose the right words. It's because of this idolizing that you are hurting. If you didn't admire her so much you would have gotten over her.

She's perfect.  It might be my biased view, and that she's only perfect in my eyes, but nevertheless, I adore her.  She's the only person in the entire world that I've actually really cared about.  As far as I'm concerned, she IS my world.  I'd do anything for her, all she has to do is ask.  I honestly don't think I'd be able to cope without her.
...
That's the problem in a nutshell. You're clingy and put her on some golden pedastal ready for worship.
And what's with the selfless chivalrous knight bullshit -"I can't kill myself because it might hurt her feelings. Whine, whine."
So if you're the chivalrous knight then she's the virtuous muse. This might sound like a very romantic book, films, etc. but this is real life and it got you nothing but buckets of hurt.
(There's also some other stuff like not being a man and put a move on her when you had the chance, but you missed that boat, enjoy the island.)

The solution? Be a dick. Work on your game (real life game, not ags). Chase tail. There are plenty of other fish in the sea.
I know what you'll say; "But Jet, I can't/won't change, it's too late for this grumpy, scary, drunken geek. Besides, this fucked up voyeurism relationship with a woman already occupied is the only thing I've got going for myself," (or something in those lines). To which I reply; "You tried it your way and now you're about to crack up. You're asking advise of anonymous game nerds! That's a huge and clear sign of -HELP ME-. So grab the life line and talk to other women. You don't have to marry/sleep/date them. You don't even have to ask their number or talk to them longer than 5 minutes. Just ask them something random they can relate to like: popcorn or pizza, is there such a thing as too much colone/perfume, what's the deal with japanese men wearing bra's all of a sudden. Sure, you might get rejected 300 times and even if you're not it will take time (years?) to build up such a comfortable relationship as you have with that girl, but you will never feel as shit as you do now.


Side note:
The other day I got rejected by a girl i'm working with. I was tapping my finger nervously, trying to think up something witty, while she seemed to read a text book like it was the last page of an Agatha Christine novel (note that this was at work during a break, and how bored do you have to be if you bring a text book to your part time job). I'd say something, and she say something back without really looking up and then it was back to uncomfortable silence. This is how girls reject guys. No slap in the face or knee in the groin, no restraining order or big scene infront of your friends and family, but just a cold shoulder, that's it.
I got up at one point, nicely said goodbye and walked away. I felt crap because I got rejected, but wasn't mad at her since she made her feelings clear, while letting me down gently. So I'm walking through the halls when I see this other bratty girl who thinks she's the second comming of christ. I see right through her and even thogh I don't wan't anything to do with her I still flirt with her. And what do you know, she get's one of my jokes so I'm feeling good about myself again.
So if you get rejected, get back into the sadle.


PS: this might not be on topic but I think I've might have written this more for myself for future references when my heart takes a punch.

To find more sources, is there a way to find out where the games.php page in the games db is pointing to? Right now it's like e.g. http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=597, but where is the destination of this link? Is that only visible in the database and if so, is there a way for me to find out what the original host was? I then can search more efficiently in archives and histories...

That stupid link to the AGS download counter irks me too. How many times have I downloaded a html page instead of a game. I always move the cursor over an url before I click it (look before you leap) but strangely I can't do that with something as safe and familiar as the AGS game db.

Hmm, 2 monitors. I haven't thought of that myself but me likey.
Water cooling uses more power but makes less noise and heat. An easy choice.

General Discussion / About new computers
Sun 07/06/2009 12:06:28
Hi there.

It's been years since I bought a new computer and this one is waning so I'm thinking about buying a new one.
Usually I buy one in the price class of low to mid range, but since I use the same computer for years and years I was thinking to go all out this time, so I'll be up to date for a decenia.
However, as I page through the hardware reviews I don't really see a big difference. It's all 100 bucks extra for just a few bits more power.
Speaking of power, my room is already +5 °C hotter than any other room in the house because the pc is on (and that when I'm just browsing the internet). Will two gforce 200 series + quad core + huge ass monitor + power adaptors turn my room into a rocked exaust pipe with the sound level to boot? And will the electric bill be so high that the cops think I'm growing pot in the attic? ...Which I'm not.

So to summarize: what's the best hardware that money can buy a.t.m. (or at least can dispay all the enemies there are on screen in, say Fallout 3, with no frame drop) but also keeps heat-noise-power level down to a minimum.

Sad to hear that too. Lapaset was a blast the last time I was there, but there was no way I could get off from work.

Poor, poor glasshoppa.

Naked in a closet with a cord wrapped around not just his neck but other parts of his body, and the Thailand police immediately suggest suicide?  Dollars to donuts the man was murdered by some crazed Thailand fan and the government's covering it up to prevent backlash.
Progz, it was wrapped around his balls.

Funny fact:  Alfred Kinsey tried to do himself off the same way too but failed.

Most funniest accidental said thing I heard all day, and that on the day that one of my colleagues told me he had to go home to play with his new pussy (cat).

Disco, you should have posted one of your nudes.

Telltale wasn't involved in either Vampyre Story or MI4 (which did not happen), though. Right?
...

I was referring to the 3D graphics, dickweed.
#57
MI SE looks fun, with a bit to much vector graphics. Yay, the monkeys are listening! hmm, but I kinda played MI1 so many times already.

I am less impressed with 3D telltale MI game. Probebly because of Vampire Story and MI4, which did not happen.

PS: Love Dominic Armato's voice. That was the only good thing about MI4, which did not happen!

I suggest you watch From Hell with Johnny Depp and Heather Graham.

I've been a Trekkie for a long time but I don't remember an episode where they kill natives because they're commie savages. What's the title?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pighpPCNPU I love this scene. I see phasers so they could have stunned them but the crew opted to dish out some head trama instead. Just look at those silly clubs, the savages didn't stand a chance. I don't remember any large brawls in the later series. It was all pussyfied.

I liked it because it was as the old skool series which had a self rightious vibe so they could pull off a lot of crap and get away with it (it's ok to kill the natives because they are all commie savages). The later startrek was more political correct (lets accept our differences and be friend like a happy family universe- and now insert some teckno bable).
They don't kill locals but they do kill loads of romulans. Everybody knows negotiation is useless.

Darth, the reason why Kirk bumps into old Spock is because of the reoccuring theme of destiny throughout the fiml, like Sulu being asigned as pilot because he's replacing a guy that got space-worms or something. Even though it's a different universe, Kirk and crew are destined to become part of the enterprise. Old Spock says so and his logic is never flawed.

I liked the little plot twist that spock and uhuru are romanticly involved too. They're not moving set pieces to make Kirk look cool but have their own lives too. Oh, spoiled alert.

For me the most funny part was chekov having trouble with the computer because of his accent. It reminded me of the time ozzy osbourne tried out the voice recognition in his new car. An overall strong performance by the guy that played Chekov throughout the film.

I whished Bones had some more grumpy lines towards spock.
