Just finished The Appeal by John Grisham. Gonna start Limit by Frank Schätzing soon.

This. Also the OP seems to forget that his PC also provides MUCH more power than his PS3. Mind that you can now play games with 1.) more detailed geometry 2.) higher resolution textures and 3.) higher quality shaders and filtering (AA, AF) on 4.) FullHD resolution rather than 720 that is offered...

The first i played was probably Duke3D at the age of 15, as i only had an NES before that. However, I didn't like shooters back then, so i spent my time with RTS and adventure games until i bought Unreal Tournament (UT was rated 18+ and later put on the index in Germany). So i guess i'm among...

This thread gives a whole new meaing to "cheat death" :D I'd probably play some pool, although, if he's good and gets the first chance it may be over and you couldn't even interfere. How about TicTacToe, you can always go for a remis, and with luck he my lose interest..

*sings* I left my hea--rt in Sa---n Fra--n... no wait, somewhe---re i--n Ottawa...

Wow, is the legal situation really that fucked up in the UK that even someone with further knowledge gets to hesitate helping? I'm lucky to not have been in a situation like this before (that is, outside of civil service, which i passed on an ambulance - but that's a whole different situation)...

I only shot two of the police officers who happened to be among the civilians, other than that i didn't fire at a single person until the special forces arrived. I have to say, although i was kinda prepared through the media / forum discussions i still had a queasy (i hope thats the right word)...

The very first time i saw a video game was when my uncle showed me a gold digger game on an Atari in nineteen-eighty-something. It took several minutes to load from a datasette, and wasn't more than a few pixels on a black screen which represented the gems you could dig for (unless you hit on a...

I just walk along, saying "No thanks." and casually waving my hand in waist height.

One of the best was for christmas a few years ago: Ostrich steak with potatoe croquettes, subtle honey sauce and a tasty salad.

I think it's quite obvious that the 90's cartoons are way better than the 00's. And don't get me started how much more awesome the 80's cartoons were. Nothing beats Saber Rider, Galaxy Rangers and the like. OK, Captain Future was late 70's but wasn't released here until early 80's.

My surname translates to something like "fallow deer hunter / herder", at least that's what my grandma says. I was quite surprised: According to a german site on surnames, there are only about 246 phone book entries on that name, around 2/3 within a 100km radius of where i live. That's about...

I came for Zero Punctuation, but i stayed for the forums. It's for a nice change to have people who actually think before they write, allowing for real discussions instead of childish fanboy behaviour.

I didn't finish Oblivion. Started several times over and played all kinds of classes and quests, but i couldn't be bothered with the main quest somehow. On the "i simply couldn't beat it"-side there is Snake Rattle N' Roll on the NES, i managed to get to the last stage several times, but i...

I love these threads although i findd it difficult to give an answer, but getting references and suggestions on what to listen to next is just great. That said my favourites shift from time to time, but if i count in not only my personal preferences but also what these albums meant for their...
