George Orwell lived here

I recently stayed at a hotel called the Orwell in Felixstowe. They put us in room 101.

Bricks were shat.

As far as I know, pretty much no games work with a USB keyboard and mouse - would involve coding support explicitly for them as it's such a different scheme.

On the other hand there are solutions like the XIM - I actually built myself one, and it works pretty well. What it really revealed to me, though, was just how used I'd got to using a controller.

I still have it in a drawer. Would happily pass it on to a redditor for the cost of parts.

Seriously harsh :( And Lichfield's such a nice town too! It's not like you were hanging around in Tamworth! (Disclaimer: I lived in Tamworth)

Do you gig around the local area much or does it tend to be in Brum? Not much of a music scene in Lichfield / Tamworth / Burton, unless I'm missing something . . .

Did you mean Lichfield? That's just down the road from me. Was it Lichfield centre (such as it is) or somewhere further out?

I will of course keep my eyes open but (un?)fortunately I don't know anyone who'd do anything like this.

Best of luck reclaiming your stuff, though.

I am a hairy hairy man. Anytime we have tried to get foodstuffs involved in the loving has resulted in involuntary waxing experiences for me and immediately cessation of sexy time.

Not recommended.

I don't know, I find Destruction pretty OP actually. Now I've got free casting from enchanted items and guaranteed stagger from double casting, it's rare I even take a hit. Can take a few casts, but even a dragon does down in 10 or so adept-level spells.

I think it's a shame they didn't give a higher-level version of the constant-cast spells, they're absolutely useless after the first few levels. But should be so fun!

Sweet, and now I've found out how to fix the companions-not-levelling bug on consoles, it might actually be worth having someone along again!

I thought magic resist was capped at 85%? Or does that not apply to Companions?

It's the two-handed R2 attack. It supposedly buffs allies a smallish amount, but considering how vulnerable you are while doing it, it's unlikely to be of much use :)

Stissed! No, poked!

My wonderful wife got me this Cunningham DVD for my birthday a few years ago. She refuses to watch it though, as it freaks her out too much :)

True. But where Watchdog is useful is that it keeps tabs on CPU usage, rather than memory - and excessive CPU usage is one thing that will properly hammer your battery. Has saved me several times.

I'd high-five but my stubby arms won't reach over my belly

Both a TV and a gaming monitor in the front room, man.

She watches the shows that I can't stand while I play games, and being in the same room just feels a lot better.

Afraid I can't help with identification, but I see exactly the same behaviour here in the UK (Midlands). Not sure if it's standard fly behaviour in still air or for a particular species though.

One theory is that we're attracted to people with a different set of immunity genes - citation

I think socialisation has a lot more to do with it though.

I must have read pretty much all of Pratchett's books 3 or more times.

Be careful you don't give up something you'll need for the trophy ;)

Doesn't being a sunbro make it a 20% range rather than 10%?

Oooh yes you can :)

Slightly toasty feet afterwards but very doable

Is it even possible to trivialise Pinwheel any further?!

You completely skip any regions where you'd need that drop when you use the shortcut.

In NG, I wouldn't recommend it because of the important Izalith items, but for NG+ it can be a godsend

For some reason I destroyed Stray on second attempt, but needed about 10 on Firesage. Kept getting stuck in the geometry of the room and getting hit.

Also IIRC I was decked our for fire resist, rather than magic . . . which by the sounds of it wouldn't have made life any easier

You don't have to 2h to get his tail off - it just helps with getting enough damage out. I certainly did it one handed.

Also, the Demon Ruins has the Centipede Demon, who I found one of the hardest bosses. Of course, ymmv ;)

In addition to what everyone else has said, if you really want to move around faster while wearing heavyish armour, you need the Dark Wood Grain Ring.
