I will let her know
Oh, and instead of focusing on trivialities like an omelet, I spent time improving my martini/margarita mixing skills and am proud to say that I've made her some spectacular cocktails

Definitely more man points than the omlet!

The comment above one picture of a bloke climbing one handed is interesting:
"Many of the explorers do not even take the precaution of wearing a helmet. At least one is reported to have died."
Trust me. If he fell, an helmet isn't going to save him...

It should make the cleanup easier after he's dented the concrete.
I mean if you can keep all the bits in one place...

I especially like that last one in the gypsum mine. It looks almost Aliens-esque.

Yeah that one is good very surreal and the fact they discovered an underground city is pretty cool. Imagine what an abandoned underground city would look like?

...I bid on a new copy of Duke Nukem Forever on Sunday - got it for £1.29, so I thought I'd install it and have a relaxing afternoon killing things. If I had known (or remembered) that Steam was involved I might not have bothered.
Installed, and pretty painlessly for a Steam product, so I'm thinking maybe they have improved since I first met them and developed a grudge.
So...I'll run it.
Little dialog pops up: "Updating Duke Nukem Forever" - did I ask for this? No. Can I press the "Play" button? No. Is there a "cancel - leave it alone" button? No.
And what does the rest say? "Ready to launch in approximately: 2 hours 42 minutes"...
So...Steam's still cr@p then?

Not for anything they have done but for the entire concept of having to have "permission" to play a game I purchased at a store. Steam is not "required" to play a game. It is only "required" for licensing. Thus I don't support it. end rant, oh your situation sucks too.

Why do all People dislike things that were so damn needed earlier?
I mean the F***, in my early gaming days i needed to dl the patch from some random site!
Now with steam 1 klick and boyakasha i got the update and can get back to Play online.
There is at least to pissibility to prevent steam from updating automatically, and updates
are made for updating, so why being angry at steam and not the developer who keeps spamming updates?
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

In my early gaming days (well, PC ones - mainframe games don't count) we didn't have the opportunity to download anything - the internet didn't really exist.
What we did have to do has hand tune AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS for each game, trying to squeeze out enough upper memory to fit in the mouse driver AND the soundcard. Do I need EMM386 or HIMEM? If I use the logitech V2.112 mouse driver I can save 104 bytes, but then I don't get the middle mouse button...
It's not the updates I complain about - it's the whole way Steam decides what happens, and never, ever give you any choice. I first met it with Half Life when I still had 56K dial up - and the first, last and only thing it ever wanted to do was update Steam, never mind the game. Since it never managed to update itself without dropping the modem connection at least once and having to start over, I never got to play the game on my PC (though it worked fine on my XBox 360 when I bought one) and I developed a loathing of Steam, for getting in the damn way all the time!
I see it hasn't improved on that front.
I agree, licensing is needed, piracy must be controlled, but it should be in a way that is to the benefit of the legitimate consumer, not hassle and pain and assuming we are all thieves!
