    We have a dfans user who did a let's play of Amnesia. Airandius is his name.
    You should check it out. It's pretty fun.

    I love ghost/spooky stories. They are fun. We need to share our most frightening memories right now.
    Mine is when I got lost in a field at night. The plants were over 2m tall, so I couldn't see past much or know which roads led where. I was so disoriented and tired at that time. And there were a few tombs here and there. Kind of an old tradition thing(where I lived) to bury your family members in fields you own. The reason was that their spirit would guard the land and stuff like that.
    Anyway at one point there was that sudden wind that started blowing when i got to the foot of a hill with a tombstone near and i just got that irrational fear not to climb on top to see where I was. In my mind it was something like- anything would easily spot you if you go up there. LOL.
    Talk about being seriously stupid.


    Now in hindsight, I think all of it was pretty awesome.
    I need sleep now.

    Edit- I forgot about the witchcraft stuff that was scattered all over the place. Animals sacrifices and shit. It was really atmospheric. Set the mood well. haha.

    Learning to play Fifa12... Man U is so difficult to play with when compared to Real, Milan, Barca or City.
    I've seen some really great players with Man U however. They must have some special custom tactics that I'm still not getting the hang of.
    Dammit.

    I've never been able to rate girls on appearance. They all look bang-able to me. Sure, some must be more attractive than others but my dick doesn't discriminate. It's just a hormone thing I guess. Maybe when the libido drops and I get older, I will start being more selective.

    I do have preferences though and it all goes down according to personality to me. If she's annoying(aka intellectually dishonest, whiny and excessively self-centered), I'll overlook ALL physical features and just dislike her. Personality traits rank so high in my appreciation of other people that I will get turned off if she turns out to be someone i don't like. And that's coming from a guy who religiously masturbates at least twice a day during no-sex days.

    @Succubus- Hope everything turns out well for her and the family.

    If the movie is any indication then expect a Twilight style of books though,,,
    I've never read the twilight books. Vampire stories (movies and books) are extremely boring save for the one and only Dracula(book) from Bram Stoker.
    Women tend to make vampires into that sex-fantasy ridiculous bullshit that mostly teenage girls will respond to.

    In any case, from the reviews about the movie and books on the hunger games, I gather it can't be that bad. I find the story concept itself rather intriguing, so that's a good a reason as any to pick up the books.
    Child actors usually fail on a major scale, so the movie is a last resort thing and I will only touch it if the books are good.

    AArrgh bad news guys! just had a participant drop out of my PhD study. That's like, 10 hours work down the drain :( :( :(

    How come? Did you have re-testing to do and you finished compiling the first data set?

    I would hate to do a study with pre and post testing. Unless participants are able to perceive benefits very strongly, drop rates usually tend to be quite high.
    You should prepare some cookies as a lure.


    Edit- @Trannsvaal: It's funny because I actually see your name itself as a typo. Must be the double consonants and double vowels. It looks kind of wrong. Original though and sounds nice, but reads badly.
    Same could be said about my username actually.

    So many questions.

    Shock victory as in-
    you weren't expected to win?
    A dramatic late winner?
    An awesome comeback?
    A combination of these?
    And what were the champions 'raining' on you?:P

    posted a message on No more used games?
    Seems to me pretty much all has been covered here.
    I think the used car analogy has already been mentioned as well and which I think sums up the situation very nicely. The lobbying within the entertainment industry have stepped up their game these last years.
    However most of their so-called 'protective measures' seem to be motivated by extreme short-sightedness and greed.

    They are completely overlooking the free advertising they are getting through 'easy/discounted availability' of their products.

    I think it is difficult to argue against this case all the same, because while an estimate of lost sales through the 2nd hand games retail business can be easily(?) made, the same cannot be done of the advertisement value benefited by company/team behind the game.
    That's why I like referring to games that are currently being funded by fans. This is a testament to the real nature of what they mean to us.
    It's not a you-entertain-me-I-give-you-money one. It's a connection the creator of the game tries to form with the players. A story they wanted to share with you. An adventure they wanted you to take part in. Games, music, paintings are all forms of art and creativity that seeks to form that bond between the creator and the experimenter/viewer/consumer.
    This is how one becomes a fan. Why one likes talking about their favorite games/music and why they in turn want to share it with the rest of the world. And what makes them want to spend money on the product(or future ones).

    And there are also so many genres that would have remained unknown if it wasn't for that easy access to it for many individuals. Especially ones which don't have that immediate draw and can only be fully appreciated through actually experimenting it.

    With all that said, there are two components to the entertainment industry- the financial/publisher part and the creative(artists/game developers) one.
    These measures are seeing the day because the financial department has become so disjointed from the product-creation and public relation aspect, that decisions are being made to maximize profits without a complete understanding of the process.

    Even then though, commercial success is understandably among one of the objectives for companies. I just don't think they are going the right way about it.
