That was a shit thread.
So who's excited about the new Star Wars, JJ Abrams is directing it, how cool is that??? Pretty cool, I'm sure you'll agree.

I'm in london this weekend. What should I do?

Sadly, I am quite looking forward to it now
In London you should eat vast amounts of curry, drink lots and fart.

I think the plan is to go for a curry at needos on saturday afternoon.

Hello!

(PsychoChomp, Mon 28 Jan 2013, 13:41, Reply)

I set up a VM on my PC so I could download games with impunity.
Turns out VM has no graphics capability, the fucking shitcunt.
How can I play 3D rendered games?

And just for Nakers: If I have a red 9, can I put the black 8 on top of it?

What games are you downloading?

(PsychoChomp, Mon 28 Jan 2013, 13:45, Reply)

Sims 2
Got them all downloaded asnd installed over the weekend, blissfully unaware of the fact that it was an excercise in futility.

No idea, to be honest I'd download steam and pay for sims 2, it'll be like £3-£5

(PsychoChomp, Mon 28 Jan 2013, 13:50, Reply)

I already have steam downloaded, they only have Sims 3 as far as I can see.
£30 a pop for each expansion. Fuck that.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Mon 28 Jan 2013, 13:51, Reply)

Well just get a better game. Orcs must die 2, is on there for £3
New tomb rader £3.50. The sims is seriously shit by the way.

Yeah, well, so's your face.
I like Sims. It's like playing with dollshouses, but for grownups.

Well, okay, not for grownups, but you're not the boss of me!
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Mon 28 Jan 2013, 13:55, Reply)

Also, why don't you just play it outside the VM?
I don't see how having is a vm is going to change anything. If they're tracking the torrent you got it on, they've already got your IP address.

I was more worried about trojans, to be honest.
I figured if anything infects the VM, it won't touch my actual computer.

Have you installed the VMware tools?
This improves graphic performance a lot. You could then also enable RDP/Remote Desktop and connect via this at Full Colour.

I liked cloverfield because all the annoying characters were dead at the end

(quintsy, Mon 28 Jan 2013, 13:33, Reply)

The big joy with JJ Abrams films is the hidden bits and pieces.
There are squillions of self-referential things that you don't pick up on the first viewing. Cloverfield is full of them.
And in Lost, almost every flashback scene has some kind of reference to the six numbers, or another character, or something about the island.

You can equate with the people who study literature in depth.
At first read, it's a story - good, bad or indifferent.
To an English Lit graduate, it's an insightful allegory with hidden motifs and repeating themes.

seems to be that JJ Abrams didn't know how it was supposed to end, so he made up some shite that didn't explain anything.
