  1. Zanzarah: The Hidden Portal

    I can't imagine it would have any difficulties running on a modern machine. It's getting on for 15 years old! Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
  2. Fan Made Fallout makes the Final Milestone

    @DU: It didn't mean too much by it, really. Like I said, there was nothing wrong with the writing per se, it just didn't seem particularly transparent, which would seem to be the desired quality for such a document (e.g., I'd have inverted most of the sentences). Meh, I probably just read it...
  3. Fan Made Fallout makes the Final Milestone

    They may well have had some great ideas, but on the basis of the first paragraph in that wiki, they weren't very successful at communicating them. While there's technically nothing wrong with the language used, the sentence structure is muddled enough to require more than one read through to...
  4. Forgotten oldies - ZX Spectrum games

    Thanks! The game was basically a loop of three sections: Spell selection, spell casting, then the main movement/combat phase. So you chose and cast one spell per round. Seriously though, if you've got a few buddies round, give it a go! It's a blast in multiplayer, and still holds up well to...
  5. Forgotten oldies - ZX Spectrum games

    I recently returned to the ZX Spectrum game which consumed more of my childhood than any other... Chaos. I thought I'd have a go at writing something about it, which some here might be interested in: Is it possible to review a 25-year old video game in any meaningful way? When...
  6. ITZ ALMOST HERE

    Looks great! Time to dig out the discs again.
  7. Brand-new PST bugfix and restoration packs

    I've not tried these out yet (and would like to hear comments from anyone who has), but I'm very excited about the prospect of any extra Torment content. Anything to justify another play through!
  8. Game News Support Nazism by Supporting Grimoire

    So Cleve, let me get this straight, you're so brilliant you've got a cure for cancer and a solution to the world's energy problems, things that the greatest minds having been striving for for decades? Yet you're not clever enough to get either published or patented, things that people of average...

    Right, because it would REFLECT more light back to Earth. If heat/light is heading toward space and it gets turned around to head back to Earth, it has to have been reflected. Anyway, that's just terminology I guess. Saint, this is a very common misconception. Let's clear this up here and...

    Lordy, I'm regretting getting into this at all... I'm not sure I follow your arguments about height of CO2 at all. I presume you mean reflection (bouncing of light rays), not refraction (bending of light rays)? And the amount of heat radiated by a planet and the amount of CO2 that radiated...

    Damn you, I'll bite. I'm going to get fired at this rate... Anyhooo, yes, Venus is closer to the Sun, well spotted. This increase in solar flux makes Venus' blackbody temperature (assuming no atmosphere) hotter than Earth, but not as hot as Mercury. However, and here's the point I made, it...

    Thanks! Oh. Can we set a date? Who buys the plane tickets? Seriously though, this has been a fun distraction, but I'd better get back to work. You're familiar with the concept?
  13. Game News Support Nazism by Supporting Grimoire

    Actually, Venus needs more water, because on Earth the water cycle controls the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere (it works a bit like a thermostat - if you try increase CO2, it removes more, if you try remove more CO2, it removes less, keeping it in balance. This only works if the changes occur...

    Cleve, that's not really climate change - it's seasons! The two are very, very different. Just because some journalist read a Nature article and attached the latest buzz word to it, doesn't make it science. Also, you stated climate change on 7 planets in our solar system, notably Mars and...
  15. Game News Support Nazism by Supporting Grimoire

    Aw, Cleve, you've spoiled it now. This was fun for a bit: Arguing about stuff, you deflecting the argument once someone pointing out how far off the mark you were, you making an even more radical claim to sidestep the issue. But now you're just making up stuff that doesn't even *sound*...
