So far as I can tell? Bank account and passport information. That's why it scares me.

It amuses me because it's posting threads in just about every forum and not even pretending to not be a spambot.

The new spambot both amuses and scares me.

Ok, new problem. I made sure that cents was in the printf statement, like this:
Code: [Select]
printf("\n You have %.2f cents. Thank you!\n", cents);But then, I got this:

WHAT.

Depends on what you're looking for.

Dawn of War (the original plus expansions) are amazing RTS games with lots and lots of units and upgrades. I actually prefer it to Starcraft, though of course everyone has different opinions. Best game in the series is probably Dark Crusade.

Dawn of War II (plus expansions) is more of a squad-based game, revolving around cover, suppression, and using your small number of units to great affect against larger numbers of enemies. It's different than the original, but not in a bad way.

Space Marine is sometimes compared to Gears of War, but there's less focus on cover and more on murdering Orks in close combat. I do not have it, but I've played my friend's copy and found it epic.

You should give it a shot some time. It's got a good story, told almost entirely without cutscenes; likable characters that avoid being Mary or Marty Sues, and a number of iconic moments and enemies. You also get a gun that can pick up objects and shoot them at enemies, and that's always fun :P

Perhaps I'm just too tired to spot my mistake, but is there any reason why this program won't do simple multiplication?

Eventually, this thing is supposed to figure out exactly how many dollars, quarters, dimes, etc you have, but first I need cents. It won't give me cents, just a 0.00.

Hmm, the concept sounds interesting. Not sure they can pull it off, and of course if they're charging money I won't be able to play any time soon. Still, posting to watch.

Jump and attack.

Bats (and pretty much any flying enemy) are a pain, but just wait until you're running around slaying kobolds and jaguars like a baws. I'm currently at the point where I'm doing roughly 40-50 damage every attack and can take on multiple opponents at once. It feels pretty damn awesome.

You are thinking of Synergy, a mod that, indeed, allows for online co-op through the main story.

This sounds fun. I'll see if I can participate  :)

As someone who never bothers to use smoke grenades, I'm honestly not at all torn up about that :P

The headcrab has to be alive and intact in order to control anything, and the process isn't instantaneous. Therefore, it seems likely that a unicorn is safe.
