Ok, I have to be sentimental and post my dad's mouth-drawn art. The first two are a couple of the family Xmas cards he draws every year, the last is a self-portrait from many years ago.

I find anime creepier than Mr. Jason.

It's been interesting re-playing this game, because with today's video cards, this game looks a lot better than I remember. Except of course for the low-polygon "pointy brassiere & blocky features" and bad draw-distance...

Moving van engaged... And..the giant space worm from ESB. heheh

The Summoner appears to be have fallen to the DarkSide by default. ...they're all like that in this game. Must not be enough sun.

This frequent question/discussion can be further pursued here.

Are you wondering what kind of card type your board supports? That's usually easy to figure out just by looking at the slots on the board. They're different sizes/placements for the different types and often also seperated by color. For example: From this spec page it would appear you have an AGP slot.

No, not by themselves...it just achieves the same thing as having high positive influence...ie, it opens up the Jedi conversations.

So I watched it...and it does seem to me that it wasn't neccesarily 'overnight'. The guy painted the paintings months ago, for example. The regnerative gal could've had faster than normal healing for a long time and thought nothing of it until it became even more speedy and she had an injury recently, perhaps. Certainly an intriguing show premise, but the first show is all set-up without much real story, so hard to judge.

geforce2MX wasn't a good card even for it's day tho it will run older games fair enough. It's one of those things where you won't realize how clunky a card it is until you get something better, but Kroney's assesment is pretty accurate. That said, the 'steam' in Kotor2 can give at least minor lag problems to many even with better cards. If the ini file trick didn't help, there's not much to be done about it beyond avoiding standing near them/run by them as fast as possible. PS - as to getting a new card - there's some threads in Skeeters Junkyard forum that talk about that issue.

Don't hold your breath for that Kotor3. I thnk I finished Kotor2 twice, once Dark once Light, and played the rest of the game up to the end-planet a half dozen toa dozen times, and certain planets/pieces/save games 100 times. I don't really remember.

I used to buy Guides because I hated getting stuck (especially by a puzzle or something) and not being able to continue/finish. That was before game forum/sites were all the rage and it wasn't always easy to find a quick answer. Plus, I liked the ones that gave formulas and percentages and other geeky stuff. :D As long as you don't read the Guide, play, read the Guide, play...nah, doesn't ruin anything.

I think it just depends on who's behind the counter, and what kind of mood they're in.

Sometimes that's definitely what one is in the mood for. :D I'm lost in the first town of Summoner. I forgot how huge it was.

My mother could've used one of those. Funky as it looks, at least it seems like it could eventually be something functional, rather than just a novelty.

Yay, I got it to work. Yeah, it's patched. But for some reason the summoner.exe file won't stop running when I click play...I have to go into task manager and stop the process manually, then it runs fine. Weird. I still got the chain timing down perfect after almost 6 years, hah!

I wanted to play Summoner but so far I can't get it to run under XP. :angry:

Disciple - Grit teeth and take the Light Side hits to gain high influence with him early on, and then as you become DS/take DS points he will as well. If you're pretty late in the game already, there's not too much point in it, IMO. If you gain enough(max?) negative influence, if I recall correctly it achieves the same thing - aka you've broken their will/spirit.

SS2 is a great game for its genre. I haven't played many others of similar type so can't really give a rating comparison but...it's a good game. Not your typical shoot-em up. I would disagree with that highly on a principle level, but I can see where you're coming from. Abandonware is still covered under copyright, unless it has been put into the public domain by the copyright holders themselves. But it's pretty common these days and so far as I know, no company with games on abandonware sites have complained so...people will continue to put them up. Edit: I guess early on there was some flak but...well it gets complicated.

(w00t) ...if you can still buy the first one, I'm not sure. First thing I noticed when I opened the thread. I was almost blinded by the yellow. Heh, that's what I always do at first, till I get a feel for the game at least. I'm terrible with game-guns. :D I also enjoyed your description of the 'miniscule PC section.' That's so true. It makes me sad.

It's worse than how the value of your car drops as soon as you drive it off the lot.

It may almost be time for an Obsidian Member Gallery.

lol...no. Mus has it right. The ever-present DK is on my monitor.

Sounds like the friend I used to play with last year. Except I think he goes on raids/does guild stuff and the huge dungeons now. I never got past lvl 44 or so. Hmm...
