After four months of constant Minecraft I've now switched over to obsessively playing World of Tanks instead (mainly because it, unlike Minecraft, keeps me from thinking). I think I've played some...

I'm rather certain I read this as a kid (or young teenager, perhaps) too, but I don't have any idea who the author or what the title was either...

My uncle died very unexpectedly almost exactly a year ago, so my aunt gave me some of his books last week (she doesn't read English). I only knew a few of them, but as it turned out they were all...

Lovely game, even with the wonkier bits.

This is an old shot of me trying, not very subtly, to find the last remaining enemy on a level. I never found him, so I suspect he was stuck in part of the...

Thanks. There was some water (several rivers meet there), but I had to remove quite a few hills too down to water level. Then I made the initial 101 circle with a smooth stone 'floor' one block below...

I've been playing Minecraft obsessively the past six weeks, mostly in an attempt to stave off a severe depression. The past two weeks were spent making this thing (there'll eventually be an NPC...

Finished Jon Ronson's The Men Who Stare At Goats and I'm not sure what to think. It's a bit like the way it's written stops it from having much impact. It feels sort of too casual somehow. Still...

I'm playing 'trying to decide on a new computer while having very little money' because my laptop's fan died.
Before that I played Minecraft obsessively for five weeks (and I was far from getting...

I've kept the big boxes I have (also the Amiga and C64 ones), but there aren't really that many. I do like having Arcanum and I also have Warzone 2100, Hostile Waters, Kingpin and a few others.

Excellent idea.

Just spent 5-6 days building a rail tunnel on my vanilla survival Minecraft server. ~11.5km, which makes for a 24 minute ride.
Hell of a lot of work to get materials for the tracks.

Pretty sure my Toshiba laptop's fan is dying, so I need a replacement, but all the stores I've found seem kind of iffy (using the same text as several US stores and poor grammar and such).

My laptop just started doing this this morning. At first I thought a neighbour was drilling into a wall...
The uneven noise, the vibrations and the types of sound remind me of when a graphics card...

From December:

GMG:
Dead Island
Red Faction Gorilla
Spec Ops: The Line

Steam:

To The Moon (gift for someone I haven't decided who is yet)

I did think that, especially with my KV-1, I got far too many matches where I could barely damage 3/4s of the tanks on the enemy team while they could kill me very quickly. That ended up getting a...

I haven't played in months (haven't seen physics or the new matchmaking or anything), but I just bought more garage slots anyway...

WoT somehow sticks in my mind as something pleasant I /could/...

Fairly terrible name, but I read the thread about them on the Minecraft forums and thought they seemed okay. They're very cheap compared to the others I've checked out, have...

I took the plunge and rented a Minecraft server earlier today. Never tried that before, but I always figured that if I did, I'd spent ages fiddling with things and generating x number of maps to find...

Thanks.

There is a mod that should fix a lot of things with it and, apparently, makes it into the game it should have been, but I don't remember what it's called. Maybe someone else does.

Is KOTOR 1...

I've actually been wondering why I didn't. The whole thing is set up for it to happen.
I don't know if it was the shape being different from the soldiers or the clothes or lack of weapon or maybe...

yeah, exactly. There's not enough sense of being your own person for the 'you could just stop playing' argument to work. It just feels like you step into Walker's shoes for a short while, so there's...

heh. I forgot the game was on sale and first remembered it again about eight minutes before the sale was over, so there wasn't much time.

Well, 4.99 USD according to steamprices.com (for me it was of course 4.99 Euro...).
