Re: Hunt Down The Freeman aftermath: Unforeseen Consequences

So what does this mean? Basically: Don't expect another Black Mesa or any remake/fangame of any other Valve IP again... (at least being sold and promoted on Steam like Black Mesa was.) ever. I can only pray they don't become overprotective with their IPs and start suing non-profit fangames like ...

Re: The Merits of Doom 3

I love Doom 3, it holds a lot of great memories for me and I found it very scary. But that's probably because it was one of the first games I've played, at the age of 9, long before I played the classic Doom games. :)

Maybe if I played it today for the first time, it wouldn't've seemed so great to ...

Re: Russia attacked and captured 3 Ukrainian warships

And here in Russia the news say that the Ukrainian ships illegally crossed the border and that this was a deliberate act of provocation...

I don't know who's right, but it seems impossible for Russia and Ukraine to just get along. I just hope this won't lead to large scale conflict.

Re: English thread. Why not?

It's called "fume hood".

I searched for the word 'capela' in Wiktionary (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/capela#Portuguese) and one of the definitions was the fume hood.
Wiktionary is a good site, I advise you to use it! :)

Re: English thread. Why not?

Oh, yea. I've noticed that, too. Contact/contact, subject/subject, &c, but thanks for clarifying! :)
Really neat feature, BTW.
Edit: just to clarify, I was mostly talking about nouns in my previous post.

Re: English thread. Why not?

Wow, I've just realized that the majority of English words (at least in RP accent) have stress on the first syllable, even many loanwords. I've never noticed that before. This really makes things easier. My native Russian has stresses all over the place.

Re: English thread. Why not?

Many learners of English have problems with pronouncing 'th' sounds. I speak English very well, but still often fail to pronounce 'th' as in 'think', ending up pronouncing it as 'f'.

Oh, I didn't know that. I thought GPUs and graphics cards are synonyms.

Re: GZDoom has become extremly laggy

Do you get less money in other countries? is hardware more expensive in other countries?
Yes, and yes. Germany is probably one of the least poor countries out there.
I, myself, am struggling to get money to buy a laptop with a good graphics card.
So I really wonder why you even consider to use a ...

Re: Do you think Half-life's story could be nonsense all alo

1) I don't think HL's story is nonsense. It's not one of my favourites, but it's certainly not bad. Many people like it, that's why everyone was so hyped for Episode Three, which never came out...
2) And even if the story's nonsense, it doesn't mean it's bad at all. There're many games with very ...

"To the rescue" is correct, "at the rescue" is not; leodoom made a mistake.

Re: English thread. Why not?

Using "shall", especially with "you" is old-fashioned, mind you. But if you're intentionally going for that, it's OK. :)

Re: English thread. Why not?

"Shall" and "will" indeed have the same meaning. The only small difference is that "shall" is used only with 'I' and 'we'.

Edit: so, yes, both "I will" and "I shall" are correct.
