Get some cans of Magicool - that stuff is fantastic. I don't know if it's under the same name in Germany but it's basically an aerosol that you spray either onto yourself or in the air around you and it cools you down. It's brilliant!

I think there's a video of how that happened knocking around on the internet... :shock:

And that new image is a lot better than the photo that was posted before, I'll pop into Smiths and pick up a copy when it's released

I think I may have to agree 100% with you on this one - no arguements from me here. I've played this dungeon until I'm blue in the face (and sometimes red with frustration, but in a good way). I really should have posted my thoughts on it once I'd finished it as they would have been fresh in my mind...

There's a funny quote from one of the lead designers (or someone like that) of Cannon Fodder about their dealings with the British Legion. If I remeber correctly, they had to pay a load of money to the Legion to keep them off their backs about the poppy usage, even though it wasn't a trademark as su...

Frankly, I've been quite scared the last few times I've been in flaschat, and that avatar of Suule's isn't helping. That grin looks so, forboding... Anyway, I might pick this up too, prob for the Cannon Fodder bit alone! I love that game so much. Codemasters are remaking it for the PSP! Although the...

Definitely option 2. A hi-res redux will be different from the original anyway, so it makes sense to me to add ambience with a touch of music to give it that extra edge. When it's done right, ambient sounds / music can make a game so much more involving.

Mine originally came from my first network gaming session I had at a friend's house. Quake, I believe it was, and I must have been about 13 or so. I had never played a network game before and wanted something quick and witty but I couldn't think of anything as I was having a mental block. My friend'...

It is also possible to create a dead-end situation where you cannot proceed to accomplish the challenge. Do you know how? Is there more than one way? Destroy your keyboard and mouse with a hammer.
