Galaxy truckers is a great game - and that designer does really good work. I really like Space Alert as well if you like coop games. Similar mechanics (you program orders while under time pressure with partial information), then you have a resolution phase where you see how badly the plan failed. It...

The last 15 minutes of ME3 are an irremediable pile of shit that completely wreck the game. If you're going to play it, get to the part with the beam of light, turn your console off, and insert your own ending The ends are a direct cut paste from Deus Ex 1 (?!?!) that don't make any sense, and the e...

aWoD Rules questions
Does all uses of disciplines cost powerpoints? I ask because some powers mention cost of a PP or 5 PP or whatevr and others just say a simple action e.g. (emphasis mine) Death Knell The character shuts off access to The Gloom. All creatures with a Potency of zero and an Orphic power source (such as ...

A shirt and tie works fine for me (I'd really love to get rid of the tie), though I wonder why you'd wear a suit on a plane in the first place. The plane IS where you're complaining about all this laptop carrying, right? Can't you just change when you get off? Change where? The taxi? Is that really...

If you brown paper bag your lunch, I can confidently guess you're not travelling much because otherwise you'd expense it. You may live in an alternate dimension where you don't have to pay for things, but is it that weird that some people who travel a lot may not have other people paying for litera...

Doesn't the backpack wreck your suit jacket? Or do you carry your jacket in your hand until you get to the client then carry the backpack in your hand while wearing the suit? (Suits are 100% mandatory at my job) There is also a big period between 'coming into contact with the client' and 'getting w...

My favorite part is people complaining about the 10 pound laptop, when the 6 pound laptop was still a better deal than the airbook. I mean, I walk to work every day carrying my laptop and managed to not have my arm fall off even though I'm also carrying lunch (HOLY SHIT THAT'S WAY OVER 10 POUNDS). ...

http://www.qantas.com.au/travel/airlines/carry-on-baggage/global/en Sorry, it's not clear. It seemed at the time you'd get away with a slip case for your laptop, but not another bag. Not clear why carrying a notebook + business cards and pen is outdated. Most people don't like you to be typing when ...

It would be great if I could take a briefcase AND a carry on onto the plane, but that's against the rules because the firm won't spring for business class. I've tried fitting my briefcase into my carryon before but it doesn't work. ?? You can't fit your laptop into your carry on? Oh, then I think t...

In hand . To translate, go buy 5 kilo of meat, put it in a shopping bag, and walk around for an hour. It fucking sucks. Your hands hurt, you end up stopping, putting the bag down, and wiggling your fingers a lot before resuming your trip. a) we've all held 10 lbs before, in our hands. Thanks. b) la...

Yeah, DX HR is a really good example of demos being awesome. Everyone was kinda leaning towards invisible war level quality in our heads. Then all of a sudden, preview that is really good, worth it. Oh course, that preview was probably more than 1/16th the games size, and it was only 1/16th of the ...

Except we can see how drastic of an effect the shareware model has on game sales because people have already done it, and do you want to guess how successful shareware games were? You might not have heard of Doom, Quake and Half-life - after all, they did provide generous demos so they probably nev...

10 pounds is a desktop replacement. 6 pounds is a heavy midrange. Airbook is about 2.5? pounds if I remember correctly. eh, fair enough your mileage may vary though (though I suggest standing around, shaking hands and having a 20 minute conversation carrying a 5 kilo weight plus your folio for a sam...
