I have mixed feelings about it getting dark so damn early. On one hand I feel kind of shitty because the day just feels so much shorter which demotivates me to do stuff and actually causes me to get less done. But on one hand it really nice and cozy when everything is dark out and I am sitting in the living room by the fire under a blanket and tea watching TV.

I know what you mean. It gets pitch black around 3 pm here.

gets dark here about 8:30 in summer, and about 6:40 in winter

I just had a vision last night while listening to the Serious Sam 3 theme. A vision that gave me an idea. An idea for a Serious Sam and Friendship is Magic crossover fancfiction that would work within the context of both of them. Though I'll need to play Serious Sam 3 to get an idea of what Sam's personality is really like to see if it works with my idea.

That sounds like it could actually work.

Serious Sam is quite similar to Duke Nukem in personality from what I've experienced.

[Alyxx Thorne]

He has some differences though.

You don't even know what the idea is yet! Fair warning, it's going to be very introspective.

Chapter 5

Winston is confined in Room101, strapped to a chair in a way which rendered him completely immobile. In front of him were two tables on which stood two covered wire cages. O’Brien was holding a lever which would operate the cages. Impassively, O’Brien explains that what Room 101 contains is quite simply, “the worst thing in the world.” This varies from individual to individual. For some it may be torture, fire for some one else, drowning for yet others. For each individual, Room 101 held his greatest fear. When confronted with that, courage and cowardice lose their meaning, one will do whatever one has to do to avoid the horror in Room 101 as naturally and automatically as one will grab at a rope to keep from falling.

In Winston’s case, his greatest fear, his worst nightmare was rats and it was rats there were there in the cages in front of him. O’Brien informs him that he is going to open the cages and set the rats onto him. The rats are starving, they will sense Winston’s helplessness and devour him inch by inch. Winston cries out in terror asking O’Brien to only tell him what he has to do to avoid this. O’Brien vouchsafes no answer and lays his hand on the lever which would open the cages. In a total frenzy Winston sees the rats behind the bar and with a sudden flash of intuition realizes what he has to do to save himself. He has to take the final step of degradation, he has to betray Julia. It is no longer a matter of choice, before this threat, he is helpless. He cries out “Do it to Julia! Not me!” Repeating that cry he is aware that the lever has clicked back into place, the cage is closed. His degradation is finally completed in Room 101

What is this I don't even

That's from 1984, although I think is not the original text, I remember the room 101 sequence to be longer.

Regarding the Serious Sam/My Little Pony cross fic, keep these things in mind:

 

1. I cannot stand when fanfiction writers take insane liberties with a character's personality. So owning Serious Sam 3 will be a pre-requisite before I really get started (Because I also don't like spoiling all the surprises before I own a game).

 

2. I am a slow writer.

 

3. I got shit to do and exams next week. My Winter Break starts on the 16th, so expect something to come out between then and January 3rd.

 

I'll mostly be pre-writing and outlining all the events between tomorrow and whenever I stop being lazy. I'm mostly writing this for the climax itself, which was my vision during my My Little Pony and Serious Sam double-duty. I will say no more than that of it because who likes spoilers, eh?

alright, i look forward to it.

So I was looking through forums to see if System Shock 2 would work on Win7 when I saw this...

System Shock 2 can work on Windows 7. I know this because I myself have got it working.

[Axeldeath]

Problem is it's nigh impossible to download SS2tool anywhere >_>

YAY! I don't even know what System Shock is! (I've been out if the PC loop for quite a while. The last GPU I saw from Nvidia was the GTX 560

Yeah, that's the site I was using. But if you click the link to download it just sends you to the index, regardless of web browser etc. but I did find a good version eventually with the help of Google and now I'm playing some SS2

Ah nice one. I'm not sure what you were doing wrong, I was able to download the attachment from the post it links to just fine (right here at the bottom of the first post if you want to check you have that version, assuming it's the latest version).

 

Either way, if this is your first time playing, enjoy!

Well seeing as how that's their most recent GPU...

System Shock 2 is a very old game. System Shock is even older.

 

Bioshock was System Shock 2's spiritual successor. The game is very old now, but if you can look past the dated graphics, it's fantastic.

 

Here's the intro to System Shock 2:
