    What age were you when you left home?

    Quake III v1.27h Wrong heads on some characters !!??

    I've been noticing recently, probably since I installed the latest patches, that some character models have got other character's heads. It's most noticable when a character's body has the Orbs eye for a head, or Bones has the chap smoking the cigar as the head, but it occurs with other...

    Question for trekkies When people order food or drink from the replicater it replicates the utensil aswell. What do they do with the utensils afterwards?

    I think it's illegal to deface your nations banknotes but......

    ....if you were to draw a moustache on the face of the Queen( or something similar that wouldnt draw immediate attention when your paying for things ) every now and again, how many would you have to do before it got noticed that some idiot was drawing moustaches on the Queen on a regular basis?

    UK: Looking for a chair. I want something thats not gonna punish me after a few hours of DVD watching. any ideas ?

    Yeah I know I should just get of my backside and go to some office supplies places and try some, and I will, I just thought while I'm on here I'd see if anyone in the UK could recomend a mail order place or a particular model or something. I was looking at an Argos catalogue and saw this...

    Anybody know if the Indy Jones or Star Wars movies will ever be released on DVD?

    I suppose its something to do with piracy, but if they price them sensibly Im sure most would prefer an original legit copy. Oh, and while Im talking DVDs, if you do a box set lets see some behind the scenes footage or stick some of the thousands of stills all films have taken on there aswell...

    Quake 3 : Why does it keep freezing on me ? it never used to !!

    Thanks Blackflagg, I think your right about it being a heat thing. I took the case cover off and ran Q3 following a bot in spectater mode, it lasted 70mins before freezing. I then cranked all the graphics setting down to minimum and it lasted over 120mins and didnt crash and a further 70mins...

    Quake 3 : Why does it keep freezing on me ? it never used to !!

    Does using the 'Reset 'button too often harm hardware?....

    ...my comp has been freezing during Quake 3 recently and pressing reset is the only way out ( ctrl+alt+delete doesnt work) Did it about 4 times today, a few yesterday. Does it harm hardware or is it just hassle ? I will reinstall quake 3 anyway, see if that fixes it.
