I can't recommend it as I have no knowledge of it in that respect.

It is twentytwo at ShopTo and it has a map. A map. For twentytwo. Map.

It was Shacknews's game of the year last year (PC version) - but i've not played it

http://www.shacknews.com/article/72076/ ... s-of-kings

Quote:
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings may be draped in the cloak of a brutal fantasy world filled with monsters and magic, but it offers an interesting reflection of real-world problems. It's a political drama where those in command are governed by fear and uncertainty. It shines light on racism and sexism in ways that shows developer CD Projekt RED is unafraid to push narrative boundaries beyond most games in its class.

Based on the book series from Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher 2 goes worlds beyond the 2007 original title in almost every conceivable way (though there is some contention with the game's ending). Combat is completely overhauled--and after a few balance tweaks soon after release, it's satisfying to the point of perfection. The game can be unapologetic in its command for your attention and skill, pushing aside a generation of games marketed to the era of players raised by handholding execution.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings was perhaps a game many have missed due to its demanding requirements, but it was (and remains) an adventure of epic scale and scope. It is one of the few games that genuinely offers players a choice. What you do matters, offering players a diverging path that shelves an entire section of the game reserved for choosing another path.

Beyond the joy of slaying monsters and uncovering a major conspiracy as Geralt of Rivia, The Witcher 2 is gorgeous. If your machine can handle it, The Witcher 2 may be the most breathtaking adventure we've ever experienced.

Much like any game--even those we regard as classics--The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings has a few missteps; though many of its "bugs" have long since been squashed by the game's developer.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings isn't vast in the same way that Skyrim is. It is often linear in its overall story, though choices made along the way are important to the tale. Linearity is only troublesome if a game's vision is as confined as its environments are and The Witcher 2 suffers from no such flaw. It is focused. It's a wonderful game that you must play (either now on PC or this upcoming May when it arrives on Xbox 360). For these reasons and more, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings has proudly been voted as the Shacknews.com 2011 Game of the Year.

I'm of the opinion that the idea that magnets are bad for hard drives is 95% myth. I mean, the most powerful magnets in your house are inside your hard drive already.
You're far better off physically attacking the drive with a big magnet than trying to suck out the 1s with it.

Can it be made legal to run over pedestrians who stop, look at your red light, look at red crossing signal, and then step out anyway as your light goes green?

Likewise twats who, while a line of cars is waiting for the green filter arrow to come on so they can turn, cross the street against their red signal and thus cause half the cars who've waited patiently for their chance to turn right have to sit through a whole other sequence?

I think we should be more patient with pedestrians. They haven't been watching the lights as studiously as drivers and may not realise or be able to anticipate when the lights are changing. Drivers in general should be more tolerant given that it's them that are driving a speeding weapon capable of taking a life.

Pedestrians have more to lose. It's n their best interests to know what the massive rolling death boxes hurtling all around them are doing.

Many people die unfairly at the wheels of motorists who ought to drive a lot better than they do, but that doesn't mean traffic can't still be an exercise in practical Natural selection as well...

Unlikely to have been any deaths in SE London this afternoon, other than from road rage. Took me well over two hours to get back from Heathrow, spending the last hour and a half going 7.5 miles.

Heathrow is totally fucked at the moment, it's pretty much a no-go area if you are driving due to the lane closures, and some of the cycling is happening on the roads around heathrow during the Olympics so a lot of the roads will be completely closed.
Mrs T is staying in a hotel at Heathrow for the time being while she is training, as to stand a chance of getting to her training courses by driving, she has to be there by 6:30am before the lanes close. Even staying on the outskirts of Heathrow it is currently taking them just under an hour to drive to the training course the other side of Heathrow. (It would actually be quicker to walk, but don't ask me why they dont...)

Relatedly, two interesting plane crash facts for you, courtesy of Mrs T. The reason why you don't inflate your lifejacket inside the plane during an emergency? In a recentish plane crash, most people survived the impact at sea, yet half of them died afterwards as the plane filled up with water and the half that had ignored the instructions and inflated their jacket, couldn't swim down and out of the door that was underwater.
Plane crash number 2, crashed in a corn field, everyone survived the crash, yet a dozen or so people were killed. How you may wonder? They didn't stay together after getting out of the plane and ran in different directions, every death was due to being run over by a rescue vehicle as they rushed to the aid of the plane...

I have no idea! I'll ask tomorrow, I find it best to not ask questions like that generally, as the answer never really makes me any the wiser :D

I expect it is something to do with knowing the way if they are in a car, but not if they are walking. This is a girl who managed to get lost walking to the pub from my old flat, it was less than 100 yards away, down a straight road and you could see the pub standing from the front door of the flats...

Plane crash number 2, crashed in a corn field, everyone survived the crash, yet a dozen or so people were killed. How you may wonder? They didn't stay together after getting out of the plane and ran in different directions, every death was due to being run over by a rescue vehicle as they rushed to the aid of the plane... pounced by a Hunter or dragged away by a Smoker.

What route did you take?


Just the usual route.

Heathrow itself was fine. M4 into London, turn right, down to the river and cross at Vauxhall. Hardly any traffic.

From then, we passed the Oval, and it was a solid traffic jam from there to Blackheath.

Thank god for that. For a while, I was thinking that I'd done the most dickish thing today.
