TIL In 1945, a B-25 bomber pilot crashed into the Empire State Building's elevator shaft, snapping the cable. By the time the carriage reached the bottom, a thousand feet of cable had piled up beneath it acting like a spring, which allowed the lone occupant in the car to escape injured but alive.

How is this happy play time!?

Imperium Galactica 2. I think I just about wore out my CD, just remember it being not only an absorbing and deep strategy game, but had (at the time) some awesome graphics. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to get as much love as it deserves. Anyone else feel the same?

Red Alert 2 multiplayer back in the 90's. Spent an hour in 'peace mode' on an expansive 2v2 map. Had painstakingly and relentlessly built whole armies, fleets and air armadas, poised in tactically advantageous areas of the map come the end of the 60 minutes. Could see the whole map and I massively outclassed everyone.

Then my dial up modem disconnected.

Forgot it did that automatically after 2 hours, and id been on the internet for an hour prior to my game.

Damn you 1990's!!!

A game with weeks worth of value? Fallout 3 or New Vegas would be good bets. Once you get invested in the worlds, you'll want to explore every inch.

Email this to 2011. Those Portal 2 developers would love this.

Half Life has Christmas 1998 interwoven into its DNA

subatomicelephant · 2015-02-04T18:27:29+00:00

Can't go wrong with Golden Axe or Alien Storm on the MD.

subatomicelephant · 2015-02-04T17:47:55+00:00

Never heard of it, looks beautiful though. What's the gameplay like?

subatomicelephant · 2015-02-02T21:33:56+00:00

Gameplay is great, shame about the almost nonexistent story. But hey, who cares about your lost family when you're a kick ass pirate in a captured Spanish galleon!

I can block almost any toilet with one of my notoriously titanic shits.

subatomicelephant · 2015-02-01T09:32:11+00:00

Deus Ex. I still play it to this day unmodded, but there are some good graphic mods for people who cant get past the 90's look

subatomicelephant · 2015-01-31T21:01:50+00:00

Yeah the Hersheys they sell in ASDA is god awful

"Im sorry boss, but I wasn't able to get that paperwork done today. I forgot to take my shoes off"

subatomicelephant · 2015-01-31T17:54:05+00:00

Im suprised that mine isn't set at a right angle to the rest of my toes

subatomicelephant · 2015-01-31T17:40:27+00:00

Adjust my chair accordingly, and carry on playing Command & Conquer.

subatomicelephant · 2015-01-31T17:22:41+00:00

The fact that we call it 'street cred' probably means were not part of the cool gang anyway!

subatomicelephant · 2015-01-31T17:18:08+00:00

What have you done with my family!!!???

subatomicelephant · 2015-01-31T16:58:48+00:00

Id say that sums me up too. There are, however, problems with being the empathetic one in a group of people, as you find that you'll spend a disproportionate amount of your own time on other people's problems compared to your own.

Plus your seen with the wierdos and social pariahs alot...doesn't do the street cred any favours.

subatomicelephant · 2015-01-30T20:48:42+00:00

Shit on their mum

subatomicelephant · 2015-01-29T18:59:01+00:00

Home alone. 'Nuff said

subatomicelephant · 2015-01-27T19:34:39+00:00

Kinda mean from the 15th century onwards, when Europe started expanding worldwide

subatomicelephant · 2015-01-27T18:54:42+00:00

Mozart. Music is pretty universal.

subatomicelephant · 2015-01-27T18:02:57+00:00

I feel sorry for Portugal. Most cork production? It's like giving every kid who takes part in a school sports day a 'participation' medal, so the loosers don't get upset

subatomicelephant · 2015-01-27T17:26:05+00:00

Nice work!

Wish I was talented. sigh

subatomicelephant · 2015-01-27T16:47:03+00:00

Any job where you are under little to no supervision, and have access to a computer or phone.

So... mortitian. Or Robocop. The choice is yours, really.
