Command & Conquer 3 (and most likely all the later games until the series was killed off) included file handling code from the original Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn (released 1995). Due to the way sequels are developed, familiar pieces of code you have around for jobs you know you'll need to...

I haven't had sex in over a year, it doesn't bother me too badly. I haven't played any games since 2PM, after nearly three hours in the Physics department trying to make the Runge-Kutta method work in python, that does bother me. Well, my answer should be obvious.

Colonel Gaddafi. That's something I don't miss about the 90s.

Opera's speed-dial screen, with that vector art picture of Freddie Mercury as a background.

You guys haven't considered that the size limit of devices is the heat dissipation capacity. Sure tablets and laptops have i5 and i7 chips, but they're underclocked low-end models so they don't fry themselves. As time goes on, even with more efficient microarchitecture that's not gonna change...

Not sure if apt because acting on instinct or totally not apt because... well, it's an RTS from 1995. Alternately apart from the fanatical shouting that might work ok. As mentioned though, the guy shouting "Die Waffen! Legt an!" (German for 'present arms!') might be a bit of a turn-off.

Poor Iron deposits (origin of the myth of awesome swords, the blades are pretty good but they're designed to a way different spec than western ones as they didn't have large quantities of armour to deal with, and nothing like the heavily armoured Knights of Europe) and this:

I'm not a massive anime fan but I'd recommend: -Black Lagoon (Dark in places, funny in places, doesn't fall into too many of the typical stereotypes of an anime). -Cromartie High school (10 minute bouts of hilarity, and a character you will meet in episode one who is my favourite character in...

I sank over 600 hours into FO3 easily and yet I still prefer S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (and also on a tangent New Vegas). The world just felt more alive, more involved and just plain better. I'll still boot up Shadow of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat every now and then but I haven't touched Fallout 3 since...

I used to like Command & Conquer. [/thread] In all seriousness I dislike them because of their utter lack of commitment to anything except short-term financial gain. They run franchises into the ground because it's cheaper to do and makes more immediate profit, not realising the IP itself had...

Down it, Fresher! The point is twofold. Firstly it's essentially some people's first time managing their own alcohol intake over any timescale more than a single night out, Fresher's is a testing ground and a week that's not wasted if they accidentally give themselves a 24 hour hangover and...

In fealty to the God-Emperor (our undying Lord) and by the Grace of the Golden Throne, I declare Exterminatus upon the Imperial Website of 'the Escapist Forums'. I hereby sign the death warrant of an entire subdomain and consign a dozen souls to error 404. May Imperial Justice account in all...

1) A friend showed it to me. 2) HEEEEYYYYYY SEX LAAAADY! ...I guess you could say it grew on me. It started as merely something funny, then it got played very loud with the windows down driving through Brighton at night, and it kinda stuck. 3) Yes. I'm pretty bad but it amuses me, and...

The HECU Marines from Half-Life 1 are actually pretty good seeings as they're pretty early on in the whole scheme of bad guys having a story beyond being 'bad guys'. They're trained soldiers, they've been told that strange abominations are swarming over the Black Mesa research facility, that the...

Wage war on breakfast, and sometimes lunch. During any day where I have nothing going on I sleep in til noon or so. Eating a rather generous and properly nutritious dinner keeps me fed and the sleep reduces the time I'm awake and building hungriness, whilst not considerably decreasing my calorie...
