Sweet! I'll be keeping an eye on that one too.

I don't know if anyone here has played UFO: Enemy Unknown (X-COM: UFO Defence) or X-COM: Terror From The Dee, but here's a link to a rather impressive looking fangame remake.

I'm going to be keeping a close eye on this one.

Sorry to hear that, Nuke.

Ok, I woke up this morning at 6 and nodded back off to sleep for a bit. I then had a short dream about a 1-2 foot diameter dark yellow spider hanging from the window of my dad's study and that my family and I eventually killed it and proceeded to cook it on a barbecue. The cooked meat looked a sligh...

It's pretty much factors such as insulation (ceiling, wall, window, and floor to a lesser extent), room size, window size, therma mass (house design and construction issue) and block orientation that can determine how much heat transfer can take place between a room and the outside environment. I'm ...

Yep, a lot of us Southern Hemisphere people tend to be forgotten about when it comes to seasonal release dates, but I generally automatically convert to the appropriate opposite season when I see these such dates on a internet forum, unless it's an Australian or Australian-dominated forum. It is bet...

Cheers, Kurdt! It didn't tweek the first time around (I was very tired after a few straight hours of driving earlier that day), but I picked up on it the second time around and thought I'd check to make sure I wasn't hearing things. Angelus, the Chinese guy (Ken Watanabe) was essentially a decoy, es...

Definitely was a great film! I even went to see it twice, which I rarely do with most films screening at the cinema. I felt the explanation of where he got his gadgetry and suit from was very plausible. [spoiler]I don't really follow the comics, but is Rene Ducard (Liam Neeson) really Rai's Al Ghul?...

My uncle's ok, so my family are relieved.

Still tragic, though.

what if it's a big one lol. I just noticed Skyshark has a quote from me as his sig. Probably the only thing I said on the forums where I laughed outloud as I typed it. I acknowledge my 800th post to you Skyshark Heheh, cheers. I got a very good chuckle out of it, so I thought I'd stick in my siggy....

A few explosions on assorted buses and trains during the morning peak-hour rush. One of my uncles works in London, so I hope he's ok.

Good to hear about some form of progress, Nuke.

Could be a diversion from the QFG1SVGA game that they're secretly working on...

No, as I'm too self-conscious.

I consider something logical if it's internally consistent. For example, Roger Wilco is a comedic character in a space-spoof world. If in the middle of SQ4 he started talking like Duke Nukem and started blew away the Monolith Burger manager for kicking him out of the returaunt, this would not be in...

Heh, that's not really outlandish, considering that when the PS1 and the PS2 were first released, their recommended retail prices were around that figure. I remember the PS2 first sold for about $AU700 and I joint bought one with my brother when it was about $AU500 a year-and-a-half later.

Nothing much happened today for me. I was mainly waiting for someone to ring me back about a job I applied for (rang her ysterday and she said she was sick, saying she'd ring me back today, but she didn't). It still feels strange being back home, after spending 3 and a half months out in the middle ...

Heh, looks like I'll have to hire out The Wannabes and play spot the AGD!

Happy birthday Erpy!

Hehehe, haven't gone to Japan yet :p (not getting married just yet either! Don't really want to lug a wife and possibly kids around different countries while travelling :p ;) ), but still considering it as an option. The way I've got things planned at the moment is to try my luck again with the rene...

Hello guys, just popping back into civilisation to get a cracked windscreen replaced and pick up a couple of other bits and pieces. Anyway, I've been fairly reasonably ok out in the middle of nowhere and pretty much have saved all the money I need to head overseas. I'm aiming for at least another mo...

<pops head up out of nowhere> Had a feeling QFG2VGA wasn't ready yet. Then again, working on a roadhouse in the middle of nowhere with no net access (well, there is a net kiosk there, but it's been stuffed since I got there) has made the time go by and the wait more bearable. I'm in a nearby town, f...

Thanks all! I'm just finalising the packing at the moment, and then I'll be off to bed so that I can get an early start on the trip, as it's about 1100 kilometres (687.5 miles) from here to where I'm going. Hehe, and I'll definitely have to find some time for a rematch when I get back, Angelus, as I...

Well, looks like I could very well be disappearing for a while. I got a call on Sunday from a country roadhouse called Caiguna Roadhouse about a job I applied for and I've got to get there for Friday to start work. It's on the Eyre Highway in far remote south-eastern Western Australia and is about a...
