    Nerd Alert: Can someone help me with a Latin motto

    It was a long shot, thanks for replying :P

    Nerd Alert: Can someone help me with a Latin motto

    D'oh, I was hoping there would be someone who understands Latin amongst the varieties of nerd that frequent The Escapist. :P

    Nerd Alert: Can someone help me with a Latin motto

    Ok so I'm working on personal project which is a short animation (very short) with a mech tearing shit up (as only a mech can). It starts with a shot of the squadron logo and I want it to have a Latin motto. Here's what I've got so far: "Ubi nemo audet gradi" or "Where no one dares (to)...

    Team Bondi should be given a break.

    OK, so your argument is flawed because the ex-employee claims have many sources and have not been refuted by the Team Bondi people. Added to that, there are reports from Rockstar (hardly the best company for treatment of employees) that McNamara and the rest of the high-ups are bad at managing...

    I'm giving away Frozen Synapse (Ends at 3am GMT) (Winner Selected!)

    This is a great idea. Very Generous. Count me in. Game looks very cool. I've been thinking of getting it since the glowing review on the Escapist.

    Australians and the Internet

    Technically, all the major providers have caps here in Canada, or at least in Ontario (regardless whether you mean total caps or throttling). I use a company that buys bandwidth wholesale from the majors and sells it for WAY better offers. (I use Teksavvy - cable if other Canadians are...

    Witnessing death.

    I've never seen anyone die, but it is interesting how death affects us. I remember when my Godmother who I was really close to (she gave me my first gaming system: an original Game-boy) died of cancer. I just nodded in acknowledgement when my mom told me, since it was cancer we knew it was...

    Your tank-driving music

    That is a wicked song. and the heaviness/beat works marvelously for tanks It's probably good that I take the transit to work, because if I drove, every time this song came on I'd start speeding as 1:20 came around.

    Your tank-driving music

    Hehe, I agree. If I had an Apocalypse-Now-type-scene happen to me it wouldn't be Wagner blaring, it would be Klepacki. p.s. my captcha is "Berlin wall". Fitting for the whole soviet invasion theme.

    Escape to the Movies: Green Lantern

    I just think it's funny how surprised MovieBob seemed. I was perplexed with all his supporting big picture lead-up. I (as well as all my friends) knew this was going to suck the moment the first frame was released. It's a bad sign when they release the costume and it is universally mocked...

    What's the worst injury you've sustained?

    Not the most severe injury, but for me very memorable as I was in pretty serious danger: At my grandparents cottage in Nova Scotia (so on the ocean) we had this tall diving stand that, at high tide, was 90 percent submerged. It was pretty far from the shore. The weather was overcast and a bit...

    Memorable Quotes (And a guessing game)

    Hah! took me a sec. I forgot about Freeman's Mind. Love that series. It ended abruptly though... didn't it?

    Ever Physically Lost a Game?

    This is my entire life. Inexplicable detail to some memories, but when something is required expediently it always manages to slip my mind. OT: Once during a party at my house back in high school I lent my copy of Myst 3: Exile to an attractive female friend (Who I didn't know that well). I...

    Your Stupidest Moment in Gaming

    Recently while playing L.A. Noire (not wishing to spoil, details are omitted) I thought I had finished a crime scene, but the music still played and when I asked my partner what I was supposed to do, he repeated the same "We need to get more outta the neighbours, Cole" over and over. Since I...
