See, if you were a tyrant now, you could have simply ordered your loyal enforcers to take care of the whole cat business.

Well, I like both high- and low-pitched voices, so I've never really thought much about this particular factor.

So, it's really... dark. And deep. Like a vampire lamenting his lost mortality. Yeeessss, I think I could like this. I will hunt down more of their songs to sample.

Sad but true. When I start thinking, I have this tendency to always go back to the most embarrassing and traumatic memories imaginable. And, of course, there is quite a rich library of those, it even has sub-genres. But ultimately I try to accept all that and look at it froma different angle - as the fire that forged me into what I am today ;)

Mmm yes, early 2000's have lots of good stuff too, most notably Return to Castle Wolfenstein which I played a lot during my college days. The very first Call of Duty is pretty good too - that was before they started introducing all the annoying modern gameplay features, it's also historically interesting as using a modified Quake 3 engine.

Oh, I had no idea that number was important. It's #9232 - give it a try.

I know someone talked to the person behind the fake account and asked them about this. They said they lacked the confidence to talk to people normally and thus needed to play these roles in order to have a normal conversation. Some sort of pathological shyness? I don't know...

Entertainment can be such a fickle thing. It is not uncommon for some mediocre thing to become more popular than something that truly has quality. Currently, the music most popular in Bulgaria is so mind-numbingly bland that even Justin Bieber seems deep and sophisticated by comparison. it's like they deliberately took all the bad traits of western pop culture and multiplied them tenfold. And this whole thing is accompanied by a horribly arrogant attitude, as if they are the greatest thing in the history of music.

Awww, VCR's - yes, we had lots of these too. But being so mechanical, they were prone to breakdowns and other problems. The only real convenience was the ability to record stuff while you were away - just set the clock and it would take care of everything.

Remember when we did streams together... perhaps we could try again some time, though I won't be able to provide a video/audio feed of myself, sadly. The lack of evil relatives in the house should provide us with greater time flexibility, hopefully.

Every topic of interest can be picked apart and analyzed in detail... though some are less popular than others and it's harder to find people to do it. Or there are people but they do a low-quality job. When I do something, I like to do it as best as possible, and a Wiki is a good place to do this. And this is where collaboration really shines - when one doesn't know how to do something, the other one probably will know.

When i was looking for the classic Serious Sam games, I specifically hunted down the CD versions... as opposed to the Steam version. And it was exactly for this reason - when I have something on CD, I know I have the whole thing and I don't depend on external factors.

Oh wow, this sounds so... weird. I guess they were trying to go for more depth in the whole roleplaying experience, but it sounds like a horrible mechanic nonetheless. Lots of people have said that WoW's great success over other MMO's was its overall simplicity - the whole lack of bothersome mechanics like what you just described. And I guess they were quite right about it.

Indeed. Some of the more recent bugfixes in SVN were very useful - made Tomb Raider much more playable, for example (it used to have some major issues with cutscenes).

Glide is a peculiar animal and an artifact from a bygone age... but back in its time, it was actually a superior alternative to OpenGL. Especially when a game was specifically optimized for it - this is the case with Diablo II; its GL support really sucked until a few years ago when they finally deprecated DirectDraw and made Direct3D the default mode. But they still left an option for Glide wrappers because fans requested it (and with good reason - it works best, especially with that custom-made wrapper).

Perhaps we get visitors with an OCD related to small letters :P
