Haha, well I won't turn down a legitimate free copy of a game I want, but I agree that I'd much rather pay for all sorts of reasons and indeed I haven't pirated a game for like six years (ie: since I got a job).

I propose that we kill Furyo.

Fuzzdad — there's a name (and dude) I've not seen for a long time.

It is actually really sad how badly this went for id.

That actually looks really sweet IMO, although I'll still want to use an actual phone as a phone because I don't want to be that guy who seems to be talking to himself. All the other features look useful though, it'd be cool to have notifications and warnings pop up in your vision rather than rely on hearing the ringtone or feeling the vibration — it's bringing another sense to the party.

I wouldn't ever wear glasses like that, though. If they could be built into regular glasses for those who wear them and contact lenses for those who don't, that'd be cool. Or even better, just built directly into the eye itself.

The graphics actually look pretty decent, but it seems such a pointless game!

How dare you say such a thing about a fine British pastime sophisticated gentlemen going back generations have enjoyed!

My bank's online thing lets you change this, but if not just about every online shop I use asks for my Verified by VISA password — I think it's compulsory with UK sites. Examples off the top of my head are Amazon and eBuyer. :derp:

Condensed highlights video for those who can't be arsed with the full presentation:

Yeah, CVS sounds a lot like what I experience.

Awesome, nice to see some Jurassic Park stuff. You should make the visitor centre to go with it...

Yeah, my vision is much worse than it was when I started doing full-time computer work five years ago. Like, way worse — sometimes when I'm outside I literally just can't focus on things a little far away. Weirdly it's not like this all the time, and seems to be much worse after a day of working. I'm sure general ageing is related but I'm convinced focusing on tiny details on huge, bright screens in relatively darkened rooms is a big factor.

Textures look good.

Haha, that's what I thought too.

I've had that and it is indeed quite nice.

That's gorgeous. Lovely use of ambient smoke/fog, something often missed out of such scenes.

- If your superiors notice that you've been looking at recruitment/job sites and you see your position appear on the company website's 'Careers' section a few weeks later, accelerate your job seeking.

My friend once did that to my other friend at college. He replaced a certain noun he was using a lot, with 'penis'. He handed that essay in as well

One of my colleagues once added 'STEVE IS A BUMMER' to the header of a website design the lead designer had left on the screen (grey on black so it didn't jump out), who was of course the Steve in question. Unfortunately the lead designer put the site up without checking it again as it'd already been completed and checked — and it remained this way until the client pointed it out several weeks later.
