You could change your orientation just fine, just once you stopped flailing your limbs around you'd stop spinning and remain facing that direction. I once saw a video of Skylab astronauts trying this very experiment. One of them carefully placed his colleague in the center of a large-enough room and ...

DTX and DTX2 will let you extract sounds from your copies of Descent and Descent II, respectively.

For those who hadn't heard this one... A few years ago, U.S. auto manufacturers started adding data recorders to their vehicles similar to the \"black boxes\" used in airplanes in order to gather and analyze data from the moments before a collision in an effort to improve safety. One of the ...

I found this game over at the Independent Games Festival page, where it's up for the Innovation in Game Design award. It's a cartoonish fighter where the object is to pile up enough shattered enemies to escape the arena. It's a small download (~11 MB), it's dangerously fun, and it's free. Check it ...

A couple is lying in bed one night. The man turns to his wife. "Honey?" "Yes?" "Do you remember that time when we were kids, and your dad caught us, and he said I could either marry you or he'd send me to jail for thirty years?" "Yes, I remember. Why?" "... I'd be a free man today." A Polish ...

Dropshaft.

It's a secret level in the Descent (1) mission "IronStar". I was beaten, humiliated, and scared off by masterful use of the weakest enemies in the game, and that was on trainee.

Another for Serious Sam. Here are a couple links to demos for the first game(s).

First Encounter
Second Encounter

I'd say that borders on destructive. That one could be a real pain to fix.

I'll second (or maybe third, by now) the one before that, though. Be sure you include some random error message in the screenshot, too.

Maybe you'd like to execute that program instead.

I don't want to start any browser or platform wars, but I have to agree with Lothar. I had no idea that site had pop-ups or other weirdness until I read the snopes page.

He's not the first to try something like this.

Clutch, my father has caught and released several skunks. They're actually some of the calmest creatures around. Just slowly put a tarp over the trap, load it in your car, find a good wilderness area, and let it go. You'll be fine.

Hmm... I'm just east of your just west...

And a few months back I trapped a racoon and released it a few miles west of Ann Arbor...

Probably not, though... right?

Not the level, but the game some guy released a couple weeks ago. It's a fun little arcade-style game that will run just fine on an older computer and only weighs half a meg. Check it out:

I'm Doom 3, and I approve this message.

What about feet? Can you see your own feet, or do you have to look in a mirror to do that?

Excellent! Thanks for the heads-up.

I thought of trying to decipher that, but then I noticed DCrazy saved me the trouble.

I did notice there are no vowels anywhere in there... that's probably what makes it look like Klingon.

Hmm... the folks at Lionhead made a Black and White patch specifically for this device... that could be interesting...

And the reason they're not on autoselect by default is that most people would not like discovering, in the middle of a dogfight, that they've just fired off a missle that's disabled their turning controls.

We've seen problems that pop up with new installations of Mercenary before. Often times the solution is a particular sequence of installs and patches... something like install 1.0, play a few seconds of a level, install Merc, play a few seconds of a level, patch to 1.4. See if that works.

Google will usually have a "Sponsored Links" column off to the right, but if you're getting pop-ups, you've got spyware.

i made a back up of my descent 3 cd when i first got my burner. only problem is descent 3 knows its a backup is there a no cd patch to fix this? (wont 1.5 remove copy protection?) I use my backup of disc 2 all the time to start the game and it never complains at me. On an interesting semi-related ...

Scottris's repair bot and Bash's creepy old blinking walrus.

Try this one too: <a href=http://www.albartus.com/motas/ target=_blank>The Mystery of Time and Space</a>. Similar to Crimson Room but much longer.

(This wasn't finished the last time I went through. I don't know whether that's changed.)

Is Windows allowed to turn off the card to save power? There should be a setting for that in the card's power management properties.

For the record, it isn't "brown-nosing," but that'll get you to a nice 150%.

Also, I think the level needs to have a briefing.

Unless they've changed stuff since 1.5, middle-click can be set to open a link in a new tab under Preferences -> Navigator -> Tabbed Browsing.
