The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
L-l-l-look at you, [Chat]ter, a p-pathetic creature of meat and bone.

System Shock 2 is a computer game. A computer game is where you push buttons and make things happen within a computer primarily for entertainment.
In this particular case your button pushes will make you pretend you're a soldier on a starship called the Von Braun, where something has gone very very wrong. Don't believe me? Just listen to the lady near the end of this clip...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dQp8gv2KBwYou can be a soldier in one of three ways:
- Soldier Classic: Shoot things with guns
- Diet Soldier: Use technical skills to help you out
- Soldier Zero: Use psionic powers to burn or freeze dudes.
The lady in that cutscene guides you through the Von Braun while you fight the very very wrong things. On the way you have a non-zero chance of having terror struck into your heart while enjoying some funky techno music.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCb-hWgZau4Eventually you reach something I like to call the Terminator 2 twist: If you'd been completely blind to this game before you started playing this would come as a shock, but the marketing largely spoilt it. In case you didn't know...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOFZ5fv_pb8After this twist, you continue to fight very very wrong things and hopefully enjoy the tense atmosphere. This game is hard to find these days, but I recommend you try. For something in a similar vein, try BioShock. The similar name is deliberate.

The moral of the story: Have a [chat] saved in your drafts.
Paws: I believe real absinthe is legal where I live so I don't know.
And not in the front of the pants.
My Shock [chat] would have been a bummer.
Oh. I ...might stick out like a sore thumb there.
"To the girl with dyed red hair, no plastic surgery, red lipstick, big nose and looks like she was swimming in her clothes.
how you doin' :winky:"
Those two don't really go together. I think it's the wormwood or something that is restricted in the US.
Edit: Well geez, times change. Since 2007 it's been legal.
But first thief now that I got it running on my machine correctly finally.
It's still one of the coolest reveals in a video game ever
i love how the walls peel away. so cool.
Dead Island is so fun
I kind of am lost on what I'm doing skillswise, but otherwise great times.
The techniques you used to do this should help with System Shock 2, since they're on the same game engine. Which reminds me:
Super green!
Echo is having a stroke, someone dial 9-1 and then another 1.
As of 2007, the regulations on sale and possession of absinthe in the United States were relaxed, with several foreign and domestic brands approved for distribution. An American absinthe distillery, St. George Spirits of Alameda, California, opened up shop in 2007. St. George Spirits is the first American absinthe distillery since 1912.
Says a random google search.

I still twitch when I hear the SS2 monkey screech sound effect in anything else.
And it's quite a commonly used stock sound effect.

I thought it was still busted?
she and two other folks immediately started spraying cleaning fluids and wiping up the mess
but it stained things instantly, and now she feels terrible.
however there is a lovely herbal spice smell in our kitchen now, so that's nice
Is it really? Well that sucks I guess I am avatrless for the forseeable future then.
Have I mentioned today how much the new forum is junk?
I mean, I would skip tomorrow, but then I'd have to deal with having the cold for another couple of days while in class.
