Whoa. Looks like my teddy. (I 'modified' him when I was 7) Maybe this is why your link didn't work, Nikki. (Just the title) It's a pity really alien aliens are so rare. If aliens aren't people with donkey ears and flaky skin, they're really based on insects. Except for The Blob, of course. (and a few others, like the forementioned two Thing films) Though some aliens tend towards the absurd - giant fly swatters, anyone?

If I can, I fourth it. One of the best series I've read in years, though I most definitely found the end disappointing, not quite going with the tone of the story. Not that I'm saying it's a bad ending, far from that, just not at all what I expected.

Oops, I believe I posted that on the wrong page. To get into the discussion on this page, I have to agree the Thing was great. I never have understood, was it a remake of the older black&white version, or not? (Having not seen the older one) Did you know Burt (The Grin) Lancaster's son did the screenplay?

The alien costumes (ahem, humanoids à la Star Trek), though were nice.

Have just found Green Magic on the internet. Awesome. I think I shall find more by that author. I shall try the other books, too, if I can find them ^^ The net is my best bet.

So it's more al-or-ai-el? (ai as rhyming with "high") Because that's the way I would pronounce Raphael. Though I always thought it was al-or-ael (rhyming with ale). I suppose my daily speaking of French has tainted my pronunciation of Raphael, more like.

Titan sounds fun, though complicated. The mention of tons of dice reminds me of my Magic: the Gathering games. Having looked through some google images of it, it actually seems quite fascinating. To investigate. Scrabble is an immensely fun game. I don't know what you have against it Whether you whip out your 8 letter 9x score words, or come up with a two letter monosyllabic pair of vowels, and then point it out in the Official Scrabble Dictionary (a pile of weird words), you're in for a fun time. Anyone want to share highs scores? ( I once got 200~ points for one word). Another fun board game is... chess.

Just my daily non sequitur. Though now I check it, I am fairly sure I pasted the wrong link... @Sleeping Dragon - Bush! Speaking of Bush, the other day our new village mayor was elected (a common practice in France). I didn't much find this interesting, until I discovered his name was ... G. Buisson.

Carl Sagan is a master. Have you read the Dragons of Eden?

Yes we could - the directors habits of always changing the books are terrible. But whatever. Can anyone recommend me some good fantasy/SF? I'm finishing all the Orson Scott Card books, and finally finding some fantasy which isn't just the type of book you have with breakfast for the fun of it, which is actually a very good book, has made me want more.

If you email him with your details, he'll give you new keys for those old games. I'm awaiting a reply for my question, will keep you up to date. edit: 20$ off.

648+994 does not make 7000 ^^ Or did I miss something there? Congrats Diki! Is it a coincidence Episode 6 surfaces at around the same time as this milestone? Maybe you can include me in this one. I seem to recall being killed in episode 2 - maybe I can have a more glorified part. Perhaps some day I will reach 606.

It was indeed quite a surprise. Obama himself was quite surprised - I'm trying to dig us the exact quote. It is however a good point - it puts even more attention on him, so that when (if he gets round to it) he does something really groundbreaking, it will seem even more important (I don't know if I got my point clear there). But it's also quite weird - is he not currently involved in two wars? Maybe they just gave it to him cos he's just so different than Bush? I am simply glad they didn't award it to that prat Sarkozy. EDIT: Aha! "I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many transformative figures that have been honoured by this prize," and "I will accept this award as a call to action, a call to all nations, to confront the challenges of the 21st century". He did however give his Nobel prize money to charity. Also, interesting.

Freeverse are terrible with old games. Wingnuts 1, after being released in the full version freely (exactly two days after I paid for it >.<) is now just a footnote on the Wingnuts 2 page. And many other games published by them more than 4 years ago now are nowhere to be found. I did however manage to secure a copy of the demo of ByteME (I think) a couple years ago by contacting Freeverse. I suggest you try the same. Originally Posted By: To Activate is Hazy and Unread My experience has been that authors of old games are usually happy to hear that somebody enjoyed their game enough to search for it years later. If you can find them Richard White is a good example.

I read Angels and Demons not long ago too. If you look past the ridiculous parts, I just liked the way the plot fit together. Though It would have (just like the Da Vinci Code) been much more enjoyable had it been set in a fictional setting, because then most of the ridiculousness would have been irrelevant. Though the book was a perfectly amusing, though far from good, read, I REGRET paying 7 euros to sit through the two hours of rubbish that is the film! It cut out the only fun bits in the plot, and Max Kohler wasn't even mentioned. And all the names were changed. And the villain was made Irish, a fact which deeply insulted my patriotism.

Does this mean, in theory, that if a universe existed in which protons and neutron weighed about the same as electrons (yes, totally inconceivable, but for the sake of the question), light as we know it would not exist, and ultraviolet and infrared spectrums would be adjacent?

I've never driven in Paris (France ^^), and wouldn't want to! (at least not with several inches of car around me) Under pants? A frayed knot.

If you buy the CD with all five Geneforge games on it, currently available in the Spiderweb store, can you get a discount if you've already bought Geneforge 2 and 4?

Depends what type of aliens. Would definitely not follow the District 9 path >.< I have to agree with Nioca on the diplomatic note. Providing we can get them to understand us - because, true, unless we are extremely lucky, any aliens who attempt to invade us will definitely have a higher tech level than us. Tell you what, I'll bring my imac underground too and we can rig up a network!

I'm only 15, but the law in France stipulates you can drive a scooter type thingy from the age of 14. (Let us not mention the percentage of road accident deaths due to this) These scooters are limited to 45 kph, but as you can expect all us anarchists twiddle our ones so we can go much faster. I tend to leave my scooter in the garage due to the recent abundance of policemen checking teenagers scooters lately (wonder why...), but from my experience on the roads, the French rarely go above the speed limit (providing they aren't teenagers on scooters, ofc). Can't really tell about other countries because I am solely a passenger there

I seem to have problems running the installers for avernum 1-3 from spidweb.com . As far as I can see the problem is that the installers are classic application which don't run on my (nice shining ) new Intel iMac. Is there any alternative download sites with installers that run on intel macs? Because I haven't replayed the demos for the original 3 avernums for some time, and am planning to buy another spiderweb game and want to repay them all to decide. Or maybe there is some classic os9 emulator around? EDIT: Having just checked, avernum 3 at least is not classic, But it won't open anyway. It bounces up in the dock in between 3 and 20 times and then 'unexpectedly quits'.

Just put down E. R. Eddison's The Worm Ouroboros. Amazing, and a quite new adventure for me, being one of the first books I;ve read written in that type of archaic English.

I always name my creations. I also occasionally freak out when my first Fyora snuffs it. With GF1-3 I gave them misplaced names (Charlie the Fyora, Bart the Gazer...) but with GF$ i keep calling most of them ---wyrd , like Flamewyrd, Firewyrd, Wyrdfang... Wierd, wot? (555)

He can if you cheat... (see forum header - links to cheat scripts)

Here's a list I compiled of Nethergate's items and their numbers to enter in the Character Editor's Add Item box when it asks you for a number. For those who don't want to look in corescendata2.txt.

Nethergate was almost my favorite game before this if not for the dialogue options (put me off all the times i tryed to play it) but Resurrection definitely burys that problem! My new favorite Spiderweb game. Well done Jeff!
