Tycho seems near death which is a real problem since he is my gravy train. There has been a lot of talk recently about creative teams breaking up, but I assure you that will never happen here as long as I can help it. It’s really not even fair to describe us as a creative team since that implies a level of comradery that just isn’t present in our relationship. You see I recognized his talent for writing years ago while the two of us were still in high school. It seemed that his suicidal pessimism and fierce inner demons drove him to create some pretty incredible creative works. It was then that I developed a plan to harness his crippling depression and ride it to financial success, even if it killed him in the process. For the twelve years that I’ve known him I’ve treated him like a powerful creative furnace that I must feed with insults and contempt in order to produce clean, warm creativity. My greatest fear is that he will one day die or feel true joy.

Whether or not this is the best game ever is obviously debateable, but I have NEVER seen a game with this level of art design. Everything from the textures to the backgrounds, to the maps is just insanely detailed.
Just bough Riddick. Another game to add to my stack of unplayed games.

I just got UT2k4 a week ago, and i'm having troubles. A lot of times, when i quit, i get a blue screen letting me know it's beginning a memory dump, and then my computer restarts.
I'm going to reinstall, i'm just curious if someone has had this problem, and maybe knows how to fix it. the game runs fine, otherwise. it's just when i quit.

All of a fucking sudden, my two western digital HDDs have gone R.I.P. Yesterday I booted up my comp just as usual only to find out that the cmos couldn't recognize my WD400BB/WD450AA. Reboot, one of them shows up on cmos, one of them still missing. Reboot, both gone. Reboot, both shows up, me ecstatic, but the screen right before loading windows xp tells me there's no HDD on my system. :( Reboot, both of them gone. Forever.
They showed absolutely no sign of this beforehand. For the 4 or 5 years of faithful service, they had been working flawlessly, which led me to purchase a new 160G one from WD. :( Mind you, I'm writing this to blame WD. Isn't 4-5 years pretty long lifetime for a HDD anyway?
Now here's a question - I made couple of phone calls to WD service guys and they told me that restoring the files on the presumably dead HDDs is near impossible. Is that true? It's just that they are not showing up on the stupid cmos. :( I tried switching primiary and secondary IDE cables / slots, no worky.
Phew.

the eu beta is about to end and i managed to level my rouge
up to level 19 in 4 days. i was very skeptical and still am about blizzards billing policy in ger and the lack of linux binaries but after playing the beta friends have talked me into buying the game (even the freaking collectors edition... i hope that i mightat least be able to resell that thing including the character once i grow tired of the game)
i'm just kinda concerned that with the 1-2 hours per day i'm willing to put into the game i'll take forever to level up for playing along with other people in groups.

The German Consumer Association has recently found that the packaging on Half-Life 2 is misleading. In a report made following complaints from the public, they said that the mere listing of an internet connection under the 'other' category in system requirements did not accurately describe the true extent of the internet tie-in with the game, and ordered Vivendi to amend the packaging and untie Steam from HL2 or face a hefty fine...
... No mention of the Steam software is made in the EULA for Half-Life 2. This means that the terms of the Steam EULA that you agree to when installing that software are almost certainly not incorporated into the contract you agree to when installing Half-Life 2. Consequently, the $10 transfer fee would not be enforceable because it isn't in the HL2 contract, and Valve would be acting illegally in blocking any sale of the game from one person to another.
That second one covers transfer of ownership of HL2, which can't effectively be done without a $10 service charge for Valve to unlock the HL2 retail package's CD key for the new "licensee".

Friends are bringing gallons of chili and I got a bunch of chips, hot dogs, tortillas, and spaghetti noodles along with fixing so we can have chili every possible way. Hopefully no one gets too drunk or the chili could be a problem I guess :P
Is everyone else ready?
