I saw the trailer and wasn't overly impressed (but, then, trailers tend to be made to attract the stupidest possible audience nowadays), especially since the games themselves offer a better horror experience than a lot of horror films.


SH3 still manages to creep me the hell out after playing it about 5 times. The movie, just a few cheap jump scares and too much gore.

If my PS2 controller wasn't broken, I'd play 2, 3, and 4 again (I seem to be one of the few people who thinks 4 is as good as the previous 3).

Haha, I can upstage this admission by saying that, when I was a kid, I read a preview article thing about 'Silent Hill 2' in a PlayStation magazine and couldn't sleep that night cause I was creeped out by the pictures.

Chipped the keeper in a 3-2 win playing football tonight, that was satisfying!

Nice!

I miss playing so much. Really hoping I can play again at some point next year.
16 months now since I tore my ACL.

Sick and tired of treadmills, weights, swimming...

Was a good game, I love playing midfield. I also haven't played in yonks so it was good to finally have a game.

Ah mate persevere, once you're fully fit you can proceed to slap those 40 yarders in a la:

I normally Don't expect much from Deepercutt, but this was pretty damn funny. BoC also makes an appearance.

Any hints for cheering myself up? Post-university loneliness seems to be getting at me today, to the point where I couldn't even hold up a conversation with a good friend over IM.

Are there any techies here that can answer this question?

So i just got my sister's old laptop because my computer is on the fritz and she got a new one. It came with a few problems which have all seemed to have been dealt with, except for one. Whenever an open window changes position on the screen, it lags while it's moving. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

No I do not- sorry sir.

I'm currently writing a series of short stories- one story right now about a guy living in the near future hooked on a psychedelic dissociative thats really addictive and he also is a dealer of the drug and gets caught in all sorts of insanity and meets transdimensional creatures in bouts of delirium and talks philosophy and nonsense with them, one including a giant cockroach....

He gets entangled with a drug kingpin and finds himself being chased and watched by really strange people and his paranoid drug delusions begin to add up and he loses his shit and the story spins out of control. Also the speaker/narrator is entangled within the story so the reading itself is altered by what goes on in the text. I've been having so much fun writing this lately.
endlessly manifold, self contained revealed, replete

This sounds like a graphics card issue, check to make sure the drivers are installed correctly and up to date or whatever. You should be able to download the latest driver from the manufacturers web site.
