The Gaming Den

I suspect part of the problem is that you cannot release a new major edition every 6 months - whereas Terry prattchet turns out a new discworld novel to roughly that schedule. Additionally the IP/brand of 'Dungeons and Dragons' is an asset not owned by the author. Managing these issues may be a bit ...

I'm going to also recommend Schlock Mercenary. No better sci-fi webcomic is to be found really.

Very few people like Okra. It's surprising.

I dislike prawns, mussels and oysters. For some reason the texture of prawns makes me think of biting into a dick, and I just cannot hack it.

Fuck knows why. Paging Dr. Freud?

Pretty sure that blood bowl and necromunda are the best GW games going.. still.

The only thing that is close to the NSA sabotaging cryptographic algothrims is that they knew how to beat DES long before everyone else did - you can see from the advice they provided on S-Box design. The legend about NSA sabotaging crypto comes from the design of DES. What happened is something lik...

One of the things I suspect that is inhibiting our communications here is the differences with which a degree is respected in various fields - in some fields, a degree is almost considered worthless, while in others it seems that it is much more highly valued. echo In most of the professions, a deg...

Space crusade was fun.

What is doom's arguement? That inflation is bad?

Edit: Wow, the definition of saving in the first topic is total bullshit. Investment is different from hording. But he defines hording = saving = investment capital.

:flames: A question exploring the relative value of education and experience is by no means pointless in the context of this thread, and your answer eventually boiled down to "because of my personal anecdotal experience", which was exactly what I wanted to know. As someone weighing the va...

I have total sympathy for eating Mcdonalds once or twice while overseas, particularly if it's for a protracted period. There is only so much rice a man can eat, and if you're in south east asia for a while you eat a fuckton of rice.

Lotteries are basically "Bet on a system because while the evidence flatly shows that you have a near zero percent chance of winning, the rewards are big and you only lose a couple of bucks doing so" Recognizing it's not a great bet - just like the chances of winning a lottery - just mean...

Except I fucked it up, but that was generally the idea.

It was a mad upgrade for the oracle because it got HANDS which is pretty bling if you ask me. Especially for free.

What are you doing? If its standing in place for a protracted period of time, your company will have access to rubberised matts for the purposes of standing on. They are MUCH better that standing on a hard floor. You will not belive the difference.

If you are walking around, you need new shoes.

If the point is about bioware's games, you need to ask what percentage of straight male gamers create a woman - I almost always play a woman (voice acting is better, model is better, dialog is always funnier) or try both, but my housemate always makes a guy. He's really complaining that the options ...

It's almost impossible for the Israeli's to agree to peace, because the proportional representation ensures that the hard right factions end up being involved in any government. So as a result the Israeli's have this bizarre desire to act like huge cockheads. However, both sides are dicks. Fuck I ha...

PM for the skiny arco.

I cannot summon up the willpower to care about this game. I could probably fight off frank, but I'm not having fun any more. Unless someone wants to sub, I will go AI. What's got you down? Is it the micro? The key to having any sort of shot at winning this game I have to negotiate with Frank. Frank...

pw sent. I use a fresh password for every game.

I can help the transition for any sub.

Not quite sure what kind of arguments I can give to a friend of mine who strongly feels that NASA shouldn't be a gov't agency, and stuff like it should be privatized (profit breeds innovation in her opinion). Unfortunately, I don't have any good arguments. NASA needs, "a man and a plan" t...

What has Dell A massive end-to-end process for assembling and delivering PCs and laptops to customers involving dozens of different suppliers and customers and doing it at a price generally lower than its competitors, with a consistent enough quality and tech support to ensure repeat purchase. I'm ...

It's still higher than long term returns if you bought the S&P index and held.

It's just job interviewing. You reference tangible achievements you have, then to 'make it real' wheel out an anecdote. For example, when discussing client engagement/stakeholder management, I have a specific range of high profile projects that I mention and my role in them, then tell a story about ...
