  1. I have an idea as well. Sirius I like your idea abut making not three what's needed for this topic... I was thinking of how to increase activity while maintaining the option of creating interesting difficulty for real movie aficionados...

     

    How about this for a guide

     

    All posts should have a minimum of one pic... more if you want.

     

    If next poster correctly identifies just one of the pix at least, they get to post ...again one pic minimum more if they want.

     

    This sound good?

     

    :)

     

    gogo

     

    Yes, that sounds quite alright, Gogo.

  2. I must agree with Czevak here, Gogo.

    This game is very stable over steam, and it's the only reason I downloaded steam in the first place.

     

    Another useful hint:

     

    NEVER reload after a couple of shots. This is one of those games where you don't save the ammo left in the clip when reloading.

  3. Remember those little G.I. Joe cartoon PSA flicks that was trying to teach kids what to do in dangerous situations?

    I don't. Because they weren't aired in Norway, as far as I know.

     

    Anyway, I found these really funny remakes of the same cartoons on youtube some time ago.

    They are made by a group called Fenslerfilm. They made quite many remakes of the G.I. Joe PSAs.

    In the original video, G.I. Joe tells the kids that getting into containers can be dangerous because of suffocation, and lets the kid out of the fridge.

    In the remake, however, G.I. Joe have different plans:

     

     

     

     

    Some more of Fenslerfilm's remakes:

    I have to tell you..

    When I first saw these videos a couple of years ago, I nearly wet my pants laughing.

    I really hope you will find them funny too. :D

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  4. I often can't sleep when I am forced to stay in a hotel because of job and have to hold a meeting the next day.

    Don't laugh, my best medicine against sleeplessness is an mp3 player with animal voices. I put a playlist which starts with songbirds and turns to night active animals and ends with early birds. I noticed that I can't sleep when I wonder why songbirds sing mid in night and that I jump out of the bed when I hear a blackbird while I am sleeping. I think that I slept too long and it would be already 5am in morning :D

    So I don't put a full cd with animal voices anymore, but rather a playlist with sounds normal to this time of day.

     

    Living mid in a forest and sleeping with open windows, I guess I miss my normal background 'music'. And it is a good training; when walking with dog and kids I can tell every bird by its voice and impress my kids.

     

    It isn't strange at all, Chattius.

    Hearing sounds that triggers good memories and emotions would most certainly be relaxing.

    If you are used to silence, just put a playlist of silence on your mp3-player at night.

    While you all recover from that joke, I can say that I've got alot of experience with Circadin pills (with Melatonin).

    What can happen when using them for a long time is that your body might get used to them.

    When this happens, the effect will wear off during the night, and you may wake up in like 3-4 AM, not being able to go back to sleep.

    I had to get yet another set of sleeping pills from the doctor in order to sleep through the night.

    They are called Remeron, and has been effective at keeping me sleeping until morning each day.

     

    Anyway, pills are not a good way to go.

    Like I said earlier, try everything else before starting on pills, narcotic of not, they might just mess your head up to the point where you'll need them to get some sleep at all.

  5. Sounds better in nature, with many tools combined into [1]. Is the CCleaner free to download? If so, where?

     

    I remain, :D

     

    Just do a google search for crapcleaner, they have their own site.

    It is a freeware as far as I know, and it is a very small file.

     

    Will you remove any vital system files by checking every box in the cleaner (not including messing with the options or the advanced otions)? If not, I don't think the program is reason to get nervous.

  6. I have been playing this game for some time now, and I can highly recommend it to anyone who likes sci-fi and action.

    It's servers are stable, it's got good graphics, it's intense and satisfying, and most of all, it's addicting!

    Come on folks, it's free!

     

    If you have never played this game before, I can give you some good hints:

     

    1. NEVER leave your squadmembers. The aliens WILL gang up on loners and bash them to death.

    2. ALWAYS have at least one healer in the squad. The healing gun is the best way of saving dying noobs.

    3. Know the map. This will require some playthroughs, but it will really give you the upper hand knowing excactly where the enemy will appear.

    4. Check your characters stats. Some characters do more damage with explosives, others have very short reload time, some are better at healing, etc..

    5. If the grain-filter in the graphics annoy you, you can disable it in the console. (Choose the console-button of choice in the options menu.)

    6. If you are surrounded by utter noobs with big guns, you WILL take friendly fire. Stay away from them at all costs.

    7. The Vindicator is a very powerful weapon if it's in the right hands..

    8. Flame-thrower ROCKS and also stuns enemies.

    9.

    Faith is the best healer, but the male healer is better at killing enemies.

     

  7. I've heard that CrapCleaner can seriously damage your system.

    Is there any truth to this rumor?

    I use the program frequently, though my laptop was braindamaged long before I runned my first scan.

     

    (Perhaps we can get the guys at Mythbusters to try this out.) ;)

  8. Maybe I jinxed it.

     

    Shortly after posting here: click, I started having some pretty hefty problem with my sleep.

     

    I've been having some rough nights since last Friday, when I had a housewarming party from one of my mates. I left pretty on time, because I had to work at the supermarket on Saturday morning. Needless to say, I didn't really get a lot of sleep, but thankfully it was a very quiet day. After that, I jumped right back into bed for some more sleep. Bad idea, because I had trouble sleeping that evening. This pattern remained the same on Sunday eve'. And then the trouble started.

    Thankfully this night has been normal, but the previous two nights have been awful. I have been having some kind of panick-like reaction upon falling asleep. My heart races, my breathing is off, and I break a cold sweat. The most awful thing about it, is that after these 'episodes', I'm completely awake, and on top of it: I remain very anxious. I wasn't able to catch any sleep until about 6 a.m.

     

    Yesterday, and Tuesday, I felt really nervous about going to bed and having to sleep, because of these experiences.

    And on top of that, my lack of normal sleep left me very burned down, no energy, and my mind a bit foggy, especially yesterday...

     

    Thankfully this night has been normal, but I'm still going to see my general practitioner about it. It was a creepy experience, and I want it to stop. As fast as possible.

    I'm scheduled for a 40hr week at the supermarket next week because of staff shortage due to the summer holidays, so I really need my sleep.

     

    Had a couple of nights like that myself.

    It usually happens when you are very tired and have been awake for like 18-24 hours or more.

    Drowsiness comes and goes, and at certain points you feel wide awake, even if you have been up for 30 hours.

    I have also experienced waking up in the middle of the night, being completely unable to move or breathe, just staring crazy around the dark room before falling back to sleep.

    Also, I have had some episodes of apnea. I don't know how to prevent it, but you could do some tricks to help you fall asleep and stay sleeping:

     

    Usually, people with sleeping disorders are very anxious about getting enough sleep, ironically.

    This really does no good, as you can imagine. I therefore I suggest you go to bed and try as hard as you can to stay AWAKE instead.

    This works quite well, as the harder you try NOT to fall asleep, the faster you will.

    I suggest reading some funny cartoons or books, and nothing intriguing or dramatic like Stephen King books and such.

    Also, keep your environment dark and warm before you go to bed. And keeping things real quiet shoud also help.

     

    Hope things will work out for you.

    Also, I would like to add that some people, like ME, will never get used to getting out of bed early.

    If my job started like 12 in the morning, I would be in seventh heaven! Why does everything have to start so goddamn early?!?

    That's what killing people! Not beer, not tobacco, but getting UP in the morning!

  9. I used to have trouble sleeping, but after my doctor recommended me the amazing duo of sleeping pills and more sleeping pills, I'm in daisyland before I even reach the bed. Lalala.

     

    (But seriously, you don't want to walk that way. Try everything else before pills if your problem is chronic sleeping disorder.. I know!).

  12. I have never been able to play a Starcraft match properly.

    I really suck at strategy, even though I love games like that.

    I'm always more occupied by placing the buildings of my base and the line up of soldiers.

    The fighting and rushing usually ends my reign of terrible symmetry.

     

    "Don't even think about attacking me, or you'll be petrified by my astonishing and well-designed base" -.-
