Lastly, this guy has a lot of insight.
Recurring nightmare - at some point during a fairly ordinary dream, my teeth will become stuck or locked together and by merely getting my teeth apart, I rip teeth out. They are almost always at the front of my mouth, it's very bloody, nasty, but not painful - just the sheer tension of feeling a tooth come out of its socket usually wakes me up. But fuck me they are horrrible fucking dreams.
What the fuck? I've been having these for about 6 years.

That is until Beth soft not only banned discussion of it on their own forums but also went around to 3d part sites telling them to take the program down. Anyway, I think it's still available on bit torrent but you must own Morrowind as well..

Like, last night, when Locke was looking for Jacob's cabin, and there was that grey dirt on the ground... I knew that was from some past episode of Lost but so much shit has happened I dont even remember anymore.
Its like there's been so many episodes with nothing really being explained that I've lost focus on wtf is even going on anymore. Just kind of feels like they should end it already.
Then when Hurley was in the closet hiding and its like one group of Losties versus the other group it just feels like they jumped the shark. Nobody even wants to leave the island anymore. Wtf is going on with that show anymore? I like all the mysteries and everything but jesus christ tie up some loose ends before starting new shit already

I just finished episode 1 and 2, and suddenly found that the series are starting to show it's age. While the enviroments are evolving, the core mechanincs have been the same for years.
A few things:
- Modern shooters have dropped the health bar. I don't miss it.
- Location based damage is a bit weak. The Combine never seems to drop from headshots.
- There's ALWAYS an unlimited ammo crate wherever there's a boss fight. They're like big "boss fight here" signs.
- You can lug a crowbar, two pistols, a SMG, an assault rifle, a shotgun, a crossbow, a huge ZPE device, a RPG, nades and ammo to spare without breaking a sweat.
- You'd think the good doctor would have learned to shoot straight with the rilfes by now.
- The silent dr. Freeman. It's driving me nuts. Alyx seems to have a thing for it though.
Don't misunderstand, I still love the games. They're just starting to feel a bit old and formulaic, like the Doom series. After Crysis and Stalker, my bar seems to have shifted.

I was a teenager when it got reissued after many years of total unavailability. I was lucky to see a screening before it officially came out, and it blew my brains out of my head. Here, all these years later, it still does. Frikken crazed Jimmy Stewart.

I played this for a couple hours tonight, totaling maybe 5-6 complete matches. It's really, really open. Like super-duper open. Like Britney Spears' legs open. I played Engineer most of the time since my team didn't have one and it was really an exercise in frustration. There's so many long angles and so many alternate routes to places that getting anything built and making it safe/effective was nigh impossible. Granted, it's still new and maybe time will reveal some worthwhile locations for sentries/teleporters, but right at the start it seems really difficult. Aside from that, I like how all the elevation changes and stuff make the map feel really meaty, but it also makes capping the 2nd point on either side really, really hard, like worse than capping C on Gravel Pit. Played as Demoman for most of the rest, so I can't say much about the other classes. Based on enemies, though, I'd say it seems like a good map for Soldiers, Snipers, and Scouts. What do you guys think?

I ordered a new laptop hard drive from www.overclockers.co.uk about 9 days ago. I paid the little extra to upgrade from second class to first class postage. I figured it would take a couple of days. There is still no sign of it. I received a dispatch note the day after I placed the order.
I emailed them asking what was taking so long and got this reply
"As this package was sent using Royal Mail Standard post there is no tracking number available. Royal Mail items are normally delivered within 7 days of dispatch but can take up to 21."

I hunt around for 10 minutes half asleep, scent lingering, and the dog comes meandering in, head lowered but eyes up, tail cautiously swinging back and forth.
There was nothing there.
He left an epic bomb, one for the Canine Historical Ledgers, and then fled the scene out to the living room and hid out there. Over a fart.

Before I reformatted and reinstalled, I copied the entire /steam directory off to another drive. Can I just drop that folder back into my program files and have it work, or do I have to reinstall the entire Orange Box? Last time I installed it took an eternity, I hoped I'd save myself some time, but can't find an answer out there on the intarwebs.
