    Guild wars trilogy - Worth it?

    I just noticed the guild wars trilogy on steam for 20$ Now, I've heard about Guild Wars but it never really penetrated my intrest filters. However, looking at the development blog for guild wars 2 there seems to be some really cool heads behind this game. In your opinions, is getting into GW1...

    What games that were bad that you saw potential in?

    This again. It's a shame they didn't release the abstract maps expansion pack to the PC. I've only seen it but it looks to really fulfill on the promise the game made. I would defnitily buy a sequel.

    Stephen King

    I think I read a great majority of his books and my all time favorite work by his is a non-fiction short story called "The Last Rung on the Ladder" from the compilation book "Night Shift". It's a small brilliant master piece and an haunting story with no need for any ghosts. I also loved...

    Best commercial I've ever seen

    First thing, watch it! Now let's talk about it. This video blows me away, it delivers in one minute and thirty seconds a stronger emotional message then most of the two hour movies I've seen lately. It manages to take a known situation and wrap it in a new visual and story. It is as...

    On the Ball: Man Versus Machine

    I agree. And while I'm not a computer scientist, programming is a major part of my job. This post is the first one that seems to have any real understanding of programming. The AI required to play starcraft strategically against a professional player is miles outside our abilities at the...

    Your first gun

    My first guns were an Uzi and an M-16. Basic military training can actually be fun sometimes.

    Poll: The moon landing

    The reason is the relation between the distance to the moon and the size of the landers resulting in an amazingly small needed seperation angle, you'll basically need an optical telescope about 300 meters wide and I have no idea how long. You can find all the science here...
