I bought it about 2 weeks ago, on a saturday, and I had finished it by sunday, took me only 12 hours... But it's one of the greatest games I've played. Too bad it requires a directx9 complient graphic card, and mine has a mix between 7 and 8 (geforce4 mx420, bought it 2 years ago). But it looks very nice on my computer. I friend of mine bought it, and he was able to play it on a 700mhz with a 64m directx 7 graphic card and 384 ram. I'm not sure HOW he was able to do it, but...

Hey, I challenge anyone here for a match on Half Life2 Deathmatch!

I think games should follow the "comedy killer" rule: can you do a joke about a certain topic without completely offending an audience? If you can, than you might do a game about it.

You can make a joke about Hitler being anally raped and killed, so you can do a game about it.
You can't do a joke about the challenger explosion, so you can't make a game out of it.

But I do belive that JFK reloaded softwarehouse, Traffic, might release a 9-11 version to show that it was indeed possible to fly those planes, and that there was no conspiracy on it.

I did something like that once. After an hour you get tired of it, so it's better to do it 45 minutes a day. I mean, even Servo, Crow and Joel took breaks, and they had scripted it beforehand.

The Star Wars Kid...

My favorite one was the Matrix Reloaded one, with him overimposed over Neo on the sight against 100 agent Smiths. I remember downloading it on my old job, and me and a friend of mine, who stills works there, started seeing it, and we laughed so hard when the kid started to spin on the air... LOL that was funny...

But I don't think it's funny what happened to him in real life, reminds me of my own high school years - although nothing SO humiliating ever happened to me.

I, for one, think he should be invited into the Skywalker Ranch for a tour and stuff, and he should be able to watch Episode 3 before any of us.

Motivated by a morbid curiosity, I decided to download a cracked version of the game (mostly because I don't think that getting it for free would be stealing), and I played with it for a while and I felt it was ok, it was supposed to be a digital re-enactment of the assassination and not a game, althought it was very, very bizarre and morbid. That is, until I actually saw that you could actually crack open Kennedy's head and send his brains out into the limo...

JFK reloaded, and then the 9-11 game where you try to escape the towers and jump from it... Jesus Christ people, what's next, "concentration camp tycoon"? Is it me, or the computer game industry is getting VERY politically incorrect?

Are you a hard-core republican not satisfied with the president? Part of the Cuban mafia? Perhaps a secret CIA agent, or a military equipment maker who wants the US to get harder action in Vietnan? What I'm asking is... did you always WANT to kill John F. Kennedy, but never knew how to do it? NOW you can do it: The KILL JONH KENNEDY COMPUTER GAME. For only $9.99 and a 800mhz 256ram computer, YOU can kill Kenney too!

Oh ok, so it's weight is different, it could be heavy or lighter. Let me think...

OK I got it.

Weight 4 with other 4, that's the first one.
Take the heavier side, and weight with the other 4 left, that's the second one.
IF they weight the same, that means there is a light one on the 4 bbs left.
IF they weight differently, that means there is a heavier one on the heavier side.

Now you take those 4 different bbs and weight than, 2 each side, that's the third one.
Take the 2 who were heavier or lighter (depends on what happened on the second try) and put than on the balance, you'll get the different one, and... that's the fourth weighing. There you go.

I was actually thinking of the "visualization" sequences with John Nash (Russell Crowe) in A Beautiful Mind.


Actually I do act a little bit like him. Except for not being a genius and not really being a schizo. At least that's what the giant bunny who lives with me told me.

I started doing this "math" thing after I saw it on a french game show on TV, where they had to use the four basic math operations to get another number.

Now, Bossk, if you change your name into numbers we'll get 2-15-19-19-11, let's get the first 2 numbers, 2+15=17. Lets multiply 17 by the third one, we'll have uh... 323. Let's multiply by the first number again, we'll have 646, and uh... ok I don't know how to add 20 here, I'd have to think for a while. Guess you're not Satan after all.

You do capoeira, Starboy? Cool... And look at the irony: I'm from Brazil and I do kung fu.

I have never heard of a Mestre Boneco, but I'm not into the capoeira thing. I can garanty he is not such a big celebrity, or I'd have heard of him. Boneco translates to "doll", BUT... only to male-figure dolls. "Barbie" dolls and such are "bonecas".

Pinky? Really?

If the scale you are mentioning is the one you put weight on both sides, it's actually THREE the answer:

1- You have 12 bbs and weight them, 6 in each side, you'll end up with 6, you used the scale once.
2- Weight 6, with 3 each side, you end up with 3, used the scale twice.
3- Weight only 2 of them. If both have the same weight, the one left is the heavier one. If the scale changes direction, you'll logically know the one heavier.

I can do this in a few seconds. Whenever I was in a long road trip or aboard a plane I used look at numbers and number sequences around me, and try to change them into other numbers by adding subtracting, multiplying or dividing. I usually work on other cities, and when I'm waiting for the plane (and my possible death, I'm scared of planes), I try to add the flight numbers and do math with them so I get the number 13.

I liked to yell at teachers with no reason. Specially when they were NOT my teachers.

About the Satan, thing... let's ponder for a moment. Here we have a name, just a random name, let's say uh... George Lucas. So, we take the last name, Lucas, and invert it. We have Sacul. Now we change the letters into numbers, we have 19-1-3-21-12. Now, we gather the first number with the second, the third with the fourth, we have 191-321-12. Let's focus on the two last numbers. 321 plus 12 = 333. 333 times two... 666! So... I belive George Lucas might be... I don't know... maybe... SATAN?!

If I were one of those children, I would be suing for independence and legally changing my name before grade school. Can you imagine how much resentment a child like that would have for their parents? Childhood is cruel enough even with a normal name. Give a bully ammunition like a stupid name and that child is screwed for life.
And what about the 3 poor kids in the US named 'ESPN'?
Then there is Hollywood, where we have Apple Paltrow (or whatever the kdis last name is), and now we have Hazel and...umm...Filmore, no, Phinnaeus, yes that's it.

Phinnaeus?? I've got a friend to introduce you to, his name is the 21st century.
That kids going to have a home tutor, you know. No parent in their right mind is going to first give that name, then let them go to school with it.

They'll be luck if the tutor doesn't riticule the kid.


There's this guy, who became famous in the 90s over here, whose name is Um Dois Três Oliveira Quatro, which translates to One Two Three Oliveira Four. I guess his last name was Quatro - which is bizarre by itself- and his dad was waaay to drunk at the time. There are also the three twin sisters who were namedafter three different synonims in portuguese for "xerox copy" (Xerox, Fotocópia, Autenticada), and there's this woman whose name is very similar to uh... the genital parts of a woman. Some people put her phone number on the internet, poor lady.

Bossk, the answer you want is: a man... who uh... did not bath at all while alive, and... and when he died... the morgue people decided to put a little bit of... perfume, or cologne or anything... on the deceased. Am I correct? It's either that or fish, your answer. Is it fish?

I belive JFK killed himself. You can clearly see him pointing a gun to his head, with both hands, before his head blows up, at the Zapruder film. But hey, I love Kevin Costner's final speech in JFK, it's one of my favorite movie scenes... "Back... and to the left. Back... and to the left. Back... and to the left."

But I agree with GlopOfGrease, these are not myths at all, these are theories. The conspiracy kind. Has anyone seen Discovery Channel's Mythbusters?

It was a joke, in some ways. I'm not ready to be a RELIGIOUS budhist, which is the one who dosen't eat meat and has no attachment to material stuff, but I do follow some of the filosofies, and I attend a budhist temple at a near city from time to time. Sometimes I did consider giving up for good and living on the temple, they are accepting those who want to get free from the material world.

Ric, I can sympathise with some of what you say. Christmas has gotten completely bloated and commercialised. It's sad, really. And it can be such a depressing time. My girlfriend broke up with me three weeks ago, and while I was still madly in love with her, she no longer thought she was in love with me. She gave me the 'you're a nice guy' bit, and it was a huge blow. She is the first girl/woman I've ever loved, and I was looking forward to spending this holiday season in love, but alas, it was not meant to be. And even though I was around family for Thanksgiving, I still felt so very lonely. So yes, I understand where you're coming from, as far as the loneliness factor comes in.


Exactly, it is way too commercial, it's not about what we care or feel, it's about AMEX or VISA. I'm sorry about your girlfriend, I know it's tough, but keep living one day at the time, as we all do, and things will get better, you'll see the whole issue from another point of view, and you won't feel so hurt anymore. OK? But hey, really, I wouldn't know what to give for x-mas to a girlfriend who has broken up with me only 3 weeks... see that's why x-mas sucks...

You got it, motti... It's bullshit. And actually... the Coca-Cola ads created a standart image for Santa Claus. He is present in the tradition of x-mas, in the way we know him today, since the 1800s. Before the ads Santa Claus didn't have a color pattern, and was portraid with blue or yellow clothes sometimes. Here in Brazil, deep in the south, they have an old-fashioned santa claus tradition, with Saint Nicolau dressed in yellow and blue coming to the homes and giving candies.


Well, I hate x-mas and always will. It has never been a good time of the year to me. I can't wait for january, so this insanity finally end.

OK, I had to mention this one, and I belive some here might agree with me:

I hate christmas time. Absolutely hate it.

1- People who have ignored me for the rest of the year, such as some relatives, suddenly feel forced to get friendly with me.

2- I hate x-mas shopping, I hate TALKING to freaking salespersons at the mall, I hate being FORCED to spend average 60 dollars on presents for everyone closer to me, because if I don't they'll think I don't love them.

3- People at work always arrange some stupid office parties which I feel oblied to participate.

4- All the failures I had across this past year come back to memory, so instead of getting all happy and filled with the freaking spirit of christmas or whatever it is, I always feel like putting a gun on my mouth.

5- Even thought I insist that no one, NO ONE buys me anything, making clear that I would NOT be offended at ALL if no one got me anything - as I don't belive on turing x-mas into a commercial x-travaganza - people always get me something.

6- Budist people can't eat meat. WHY?! I want to join your religion so I can escape x-mas once and for all, but you forbid something I love so much, eating meat! Oh the irony!

7- I always have to work until late as it comes closer to xmas and new years eve.

8- My parents got divorced when I was about 10, and they always fight on who am I going to spend x-mas with, my mom or my dad. Which also makes me wish I was dead.

So the thing is, I hate x-mas. HATE IT! Please do forgive me Jesus, wherever you are, but we celebrated your birthday so many times, and you've been dead for two thousand years! So, could you please appear as a giant face in the sky and speak to the world that they don't have to celebrate x-mas anymore?
