    Pedro Almodóvar

    "Hable con ella " (Talk to her) was such a beautifully touching movie. "All about my mother" and "High heels" bored me terribly. One out of three's not bad, is it?

    X-Com game speed issues.

    You might like to try the famous Moslo http://www.hpaa.com/moslo/moslotry.asp - best I can do, I'm afraid, unless you get your hands on an old PC (Pentium 90 is fine).

    UFO: Alien Invasion

    Pity it doesn't work for you, Dove. I can play it here with sound, albeit with some slowness. I'd hate to lose base and money management ; it would end up as UFO : Tactics, and we wouldn't want that, eh? :shock:

    UFO: Alien Invasion

    This project looks interesting; I'll have to keep an eye on it. @Dove: I'm not quite sure what could be dumbed down from the first two UFOs, the game mechanics are pretty simple for a quick off. I guess that's what makes them so enjoyable: an interface that's not fiddly, accessible gameplay...

    BOS = Facist?

    The Brotherhood of Steel in Fallout 1 was neat, a small group of elite warriors and brainy scientists, the very select country club of the post-apocalyptic age. I wouldn't get within a hundred miles of the rude and crude Brotherhood of Tactics.

    Advanced Squad Leader

    Has anyone ever played the excellent hex-based turn-based tactical game Steel Panthers? ASL reminds me of it. Matrix Games has brought out a new free version of Steel Panthers, called "Steel Panthers : World at War"; it has more units than you can shake a stick at (Elissar, stop waving that...

    Advanced Squad Leader

    As if I didn't have enough to do with Warhammer :roll: It looks very interesting; thanks for the link, Welsh!

    Best Flash Game ever

    Why, oh why did you post that link, King? I won't sleep tonight until I find the answer to level 8. :tired:

    what is under your dashboard

    Current PC: Athlon 900Mhz, 256Mb RAM, GeForce 2 MX/MX400, 30Gb hard-disk, WinMe & WinXP, ADSL connection (1.2Mbits/s). Previous PC (still used for older games): Pentium II 233MHz, 128Mb RAM, S3 Virge, 12Gb hard-disk, Win95 (old hard-disk with DOS & Win 3.11). It has often been written that...

    war hammer

    Space Hulk and Space Hulk: Revenge of the Blood Angels are neatly scary (yet lack variety), while Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat and Warhammer: Dark Omen are reasonable (crummy interface and graphics though). The other Games Workshop PC games are dreadful, apart from the old Blood Bowl...

    Operation Flashpoint

    I played two demos of it, and didn't like it very much. Instead of the whole screen moving with the mouse like any other FPS, the screen stays where it is and the crosshair moves on it - very confusing !-. During all three missions I played I was totally lost at sea; I didn't have the following...

    war hammer

    Usually half the fun is in painting your army, and ebay seems to sell mostly pre-painted models. You'd have to make sure the army books are the most recent versions too, unless you're looking for the older ones which have more fluff (but aren't compatible with the current rules). Quick...

    The Return of the Rat King

    EEK EEK SQUEAK! SNH, SNH, SNH. Oh, and it's nice to have you back. I guess I can now free the virgin I was going to sacrifice on the Altar of Spam to resurrect you (or maybe not).

    If you could rule any country for a month, what would it be?

    I'm pretty sure they'd buy it, but only if you got rid of the French first.

    If you could rule any country for a month, what would it be?

    The USA. Release chemical weapons all over the planet bar Australia while quickly moving to said country, spend remainder of life on a sheep farm in the outback. Easy! :twisted:

    Five CDS of 2003

    Sorry Kharn, I thought this meant the five CDs we'd listened to most in 2003. Should have layed off the rum. I'd think and hope that a few artists are creating interesting and innovative music in some style or another, but they're definitely not getting radio time in France. Remember the...

    When is your Birthday?

    April 7, 1984. Any mention of Mister Orwell's novel will earn you a visit by my little friend. SNH, SNH, SNH.

    Sports car of choice

    I voted Dodge, but I love the old Chevrolet Corvettes as well (and they're much more affordable). It's so hard to choose!
