I'm in the same boat as Crow with the downloader. It works, but it tends to slow down other stuff when it is running... Bleh...

Anyway.... thanks, you little sneaky one :-) *big hug*

Everyone please beat the lady (gently, of course, not actually violently or anything) with +1s, hugs, and any other appreciation you see fit :-)

I got Crimsonland. I don't know if it is good or bad but I guess there is no need to call for Mr. Poirot. :-)

Perhaps someone set up some rule on your work's network that is interfering with the downloader.
404 to me.

What's it called when your next door neighbours can't close their doors but have to slam them? Night, day, early morning, the hour doesn't matter. What does matter is slamming their front door hard enough to rattle their next door neighbour's windows. I'm sure there's a term for it.

I feel better now, I had some ice cream. B&J's Phish Food. Mmmmm :-)

Assholeitis. Or my brother.
Or, who knows, it could be genuine OCD. I never slammed doors, but I would ram into them at full speed to open them, back in the day...

[/officially jealous of your tasty frozen treat] :-)

On a technical level? First thought is that it's indicative of people who either express suppressed anger through the act of slamming everything, or at the very least being raised by people who exhibited those symptoms.

More informally? They're a bunch of inconsiderate fuckwits.

Take your pick. =)

If anyone here wants a mix of Zelda,God of War with a pinch of Devil May Cry do yourself a favour and buy Darksiders(the whole series).
It's one of the best games I'm playing on my 360. Fluid controls,deliciously hammy VA(sometimes you can taste the ham),nice visuals that still holds up and if you're a fan of Biblical characters,there's plenty there for you from demons and angels.

Two exemplary responses to my query, both accurate and concise, and pleasing as a result. :-)

The neighbours are an odd pair of multi-cultural, politically uber correct super-liberals who, apart from hugging anything with even a hint of bark, LOVE everyone within earshot to hear what they do and within sight to see what they do because of the obvious social benefits it gives us. They're performers and we are their audience. Sadly they're in a perpetual state of 'encore,' at least in their own fuck-useless minds.

And I've become a real Ben & Jerry's man. A combination of Jerry, Ben, some clever ideas and a few cows make for some seriously nice num-nums. :-) (you can tell I'm unshackling that 'grownup' thing, can't you)

-laughing hard- So, they rearrange deck chairs on the Titanic (love you, Fight Club) and want a cookie, gold star and pat on the head for it.

Fuck them.

Repeatedly slamming wooden doors will cause the doors to need to be replaced more often.
Endangering poor defenseless trees everywhere.

You could play Neighbours from Hell or watch that old Tom Hanks' movie (I forgot the name) where he has to deal with some strange neighbours. Maybe you can come up with some ideas to deal with yours.

"The Burbs"! :-)

Damn it, GOG, no one is trying to chat with me. So stop putting up the notification from ten goddamn minutes ago!

Great :( I'm waiting for the Gog support since 19 days to fix it .

That one. Thanks! :-)

It still works fine with your old name.

It really is amazing. During the summer they put a table and chairs in the tiny area between their front door and the pavement/boundary fence so we could all see mummy idiot, daddy idiot and the two little plebs eating their evening meal. Lucky us! The view from the front of our houses, while no cesspit, is not what any rational person would call attractive, and as a setting for a regular late afternoon picnic said rationals would rationally head for the grass and relative privacy of the rear garden. But not our Shakespeareans! Why pass up the opportunity to be seen and heard chomping down your nightly grub while imparting 'educational gems' to the bibbed little'uns dropping food in their laps and making all kinds of racket. People like that need on/off switches. All it would take is a quick operation and a pair of pliers. I'd happily do it for them. :-)

Consider my spleen now vented. :-)

AND: I've just bought a couple of games! Woo-hooo!!
