But why is the count so much higher than the number of posts in https://www.gog.com/forum/general/count_in_pictures/ ?
Does anyone know, is there any hard proof, what the Ancient Druids did with their dead? Burial rites, cremation?
These get on my nerves:

Why do radio stations choose to play the short versions of 3-5 minute songs? I'm talking songs like "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Shout", not In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" or "Thick as a Brick". It's not as if radio stations normally have hard-and-fast time schedules to meet, unlike TV; even if they do, the DJ can use more or less chatter to make things fit. Chopping just 15 seconds can jar ones' expectation if a person, say, owns the long version from the album. Just want to throttle the program directors. Irritating to hear the short version of "Radar Love".

Will radio - including online stations that aren't subject to 'decency' regulations - ever play the uncensored version of Everlast's "What It's Like"? I don't care one way or another about the song itself, but listening to it sounds like a kid playing around with his Casio keyboard sound effects.

tinyE: This has been bothering me for a while now.

At what point in the history of human evolution, or the evolution of society/civilization did North become associated with Top/Up and South become associated with Bottom/Down? It's not like when you are facing South you are being pushed towards it or when you are facing North you are falling from it. So who decided maps would be drawn that way?

People in the Southern Hemisphere don't have to look up to see people in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa

Why do we see the globe like THIS
Rather than THIS?

Dejavous: Why do maps always show the north as up? For those who don’t just take it for granted, the common answer is that Europeans made the maps and they wanted to be on top. But there’s really no good reason for the north to claim top-notch cartographic real estate over any other bearing, as an examination of old maps from different places and periods can confirm.
Appears to have actually been the Muslims although for the same reasoning:

Actually they do if they're getting content pipped in. I know here in Charlotte, we have the John Boy and Billy show (OK, shop laughing) which goes out over syndication to over a hundred stations. The music and the local content is scheduled around the content coming from them which is done via a satellite feed.

In that case, sure. But when they advertise "90 minutes commercial free!" I think there's plenty of time (90 minutes) to play the longer, aka correct, versions.

WRT John Boy and Billy, possibly the funniest thing I ever heard on the radio came from that show:

Question: What can you tell me about Alien Breed?

Enebias: Question: What can you tell me about Alien Breed?

https://www.gog.com/game/alien_breed_tower_assault
The guns didn't seem to fire very far (a bit like Dogs of War's cheapest guns), and the aliens were close to Aliens but not quite enough to be an official Alien game, which was a bit disappointing. I ended up playing Alien Syndrome instead, in co-op. For me, Team17 were above all the Worms dudes. For pure real-time action I was going to Bullfrog, Psygnosis and The Bitmap Brothers.

No, the real question is elsewhere.

The real question is : Which horribly expensive DLC should I get before launching Crusader Kings 2, finally ? Which ones are actually adding gameplay mechanics that significantly complete the game ? "Monks and Mystics", and "Reaper's Due" ?
Which team do you think will win 2018's Soccer World Cup?

Also why do some forumers sign their posts as if their name wasn't already attached to it. On the left. Next to the post. A bit to the right of the avatar image. But to the left of the post's date. But higher than the posts count. But still below the previous post. If you look closely.
Why is Jean Claude Van Damme peddling tortilla chips? :P

Are you telling me he is that unbankable!? Shit, I'd go see another Bloodsport movie! :D
Also, what's the average size of a gog.com videogame ?

_________
Answer : I would say that, on average, a gog game and its accompanying files are around 1,3 Gb.

Update : make it 1,5 Gb.

Update : make that 1,7 Gb.

Why is there always one green chip in a bad of potato chips?

IT NEVER FAILS!

In 42 years on this planet I have never come across a bag, big or small, that didn't have at least one green chip (and typically only one which makes even more disturbing); regardless of the brand or the flavor.

I keep imagining an assembly line with one guy whose job it is to put a green chip in every bag.

tinyE: ^^^^
hearing about potato the green bit is some kind of poison they produce iirc, seems like cooking it kills it, no idea why it's not removed aswell, also these crisp system can be fully auto, i watched a TV program that they said 1potato=1bag(small bag, not the bigger version), i had 1bag with the roots/something similar or potato and got couple of coupon when i complain about it

not all crisp r potato, some r from corn,

wish i knew about this thread awhile ago, had so many random question to spit out, would of end up making tons of threads but held back
Why?
