... probably six. Most of the time megaman games improve (gameplay wise, anyway) as they get newer, imo, at least until you hit the PS2+ era.

Then, uh. From what I understand, they still do, there's just the usual hiccups from changing art styles and whatnot. I just haven't really played those ones. Or many of the actual megaman ones to completion... was always more of an X-series fellow.

E: Ohey, they actually got around to officially localizing rockman and forte. Maybe get that instead :P

Or 7. Honestly, I was never terribly enthralled by the pre-SNES or gameboy ones :-\

I want to know how many pounds of fish a single fisherman could catch in a fishing day using medieval technology, preferably handline or fishing net.

Who should I ask?

Google, probably. But I think you tried it already, so try people who you know who have been fishing.
My wild guess is around 10 kg, or a couple of pounds more than 20 in your imperial units.

Well, it depends of the fishery. Are you speaking or river fishing, shore fishing, or "Let's go all the way to Newfouldland where we can sail on the glorious codsea, because we're Basque and we don't give a shit!"?

That movie sounds quite interesting.

Yeah... I'm definitely downloading that one. :D

Fakeedit: Holy crud, it has a score of over 7 on IMDB? Maybe it's not as B-grade as I expected.

Here's a question
Is dwarf fortress a good tool for learning geology?
I'm wondering if I can use it as an excuse to 'study' by playing DF

You can learn quite a lot about it from DF. I wouldn't call it studying, though.

If you look up every rock you find in the wiki, it's actually probably quite a good way to study. I know most of what I know about rocks from DF...

The premise was ocean fishing, but not too far from shore.

Anybody know of any good games I can play on my PC without having any internet on said PC?

I can transfer things to an external HD from another computer, but that's about the extent of my internet. I can't install anything on this PC either, because it's a public computer that I don't have admin privileges for. I also can't play Minecraft because that requires Java to download, and this computer doesn't have it updated. I could also resort to torrenting, but I'd rather find games I can get and play legally, at the moment.

And yes, I know about most of the free roguelikes. I usually have to be in a certain mood for those.
