Alright, perhaps it wasn,t so smart of me to use console-games as an example since i have very limited experience with these. I can admit my faults.

I,m not saying that new games have fewer bugs. (Fallout 2, for example, was so bugged that it was impossible to play without the patch) I guess my original question should apply both to new and old games. In the end though, I guess we have to live with the fact that PC-games probably never can becom...

Oh okay then. :) Australian Magpies are really pretty birds. Do your magpies make the cool sound? "warble-warble..."? In Denis Glover's poem The Magpies, the mature magpie's call is described as a "quardle oodle ardle wardle doodle". B) GAMER It,s actually so long since I heard ...

In another they put chopped magpie on the pizzas.(Mm,yummy :rolleyes: ) This myth surfaced in the times when pizzerias were something new (and therefore ...

Thank you everyone for your welcomes. I think I will have a good time in here :) Hiya! Welcome to DGF! Where'd you come up with a username like "Rat-pizza"?? Actually, I based that name on a well know myth here in Sweden (perhaps our most known) that a chinese pizzeria had put rat-meat on ...

Hello everyone. Allow me to introduce myself. I,m a 22 year old (Soon 23) Swede and i have loved dos-games and other "oldies" since i played my very first PC-game, Hugo,s House of Horrors. Ah, the memories........ :) Oh, hrm, sorry, where was I, ah, yes as I said, I love dos-games. Actuall...
