Texas! That says it all.

Life imitates art: lets hope it doesn't for Mr. Craven. :) RIP scary-maestro.

"csenes" category is my fav! :0 Seriously, I really enjoy this event every year! Thanks for link, Doc!

Whatever the case, the new, longer, videos are quite captivating. I wonder if building / expanding the ant farm into the rest of the captured ship will be similar to Xcom EU/EW requiring the expenditure of money,etc., OR will the captured ship have 'surprises' when certain chambers are accessed? :) Expanding the base on the ship might be more of a challenge?

Awesome!

Or, perhaps, a rescue mission to extract Vahlen? or 'debrief? :)

Welcome... :)

Eventually, AIs will become self-actualizing. Human engineers are already developing ways for the proto-AIs we now have to make redesign themselves 'better.' Since they replicate many generations to each of our human generations, they will evolve way faster than we do. Indeed, based on what I have seen and learned about human history, we haven't really evolved in the past 20,000 years - and our most decisive 'advantage' (intelligence) is also our Achilles

Thanks Gear. :) As much as I like steam, I also like to get the DVD, just in case. :)

[quote who="starkers" reply="20" id="3581997"] I love that series... on of Canada's best. I won't tell you how the final [and last] season goes, but sufficed to say it is a doosey and right up there with plot twists and excitement.

Ayn Rand should read Lord of the Flies, oh, never mind, Rand is dead, just her 'social jungle' 'survival of the sleaziest' writings remain. And I am totally, like totally unbiased. You read it here first. :) :) :0

Everyone and their aunts are per-ordering Fallout 4. I haven't - as I have never per-ordered a Bethesda game before. Based on past experience, where is the best place to place a pre order (of FO4) to get earliest fulfillment? From Beth's web store directly? Steam? etc. :)

[quote who="Jafo" reply="20" id="3533968"] Quoting Stanley Tarrant, reply 17 Weird, I suppose I could pay 50 people to cut my grass with scissors over several weeks or just grab a lawn mower and do it myself in an afternoon. Why aren't all the grass snippers protesting the modern gas lawn mower? <br /

What 'important stuff?' :)

No, Uval, I have no problem with skyjacking the thread. Please enjoy. I am.

Bottom line: MS Corp is a business. Anything that they can get away with to increase the Corp's bottom line is acceptable. We are not customers anymore. The days of the customer being 'always right' are history. There is no real personal element to business anymore - its all aggregates, statistics, vast numbers of 'commodities' both human and other. So MS's business model is not a failure - they still make fairly good profits, don't th

That happens to me, every time i play some steam games. It acts like I am installing the game and playing it for the first time. Howver, I have never had it go on and on as you describe. Clueless... try steam help?
