More of the Idiot dance...
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.

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

TV: Heroes
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.

kotor2
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.

System Shock 2
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.

What are you playing now?
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.

New Power Suit Amplifies Human Strength
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.

What are you playing now?
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:

Influence
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.

System Shock 2
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.

Adventures in Game Buying
(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.

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...

Some people develop severe allergies in their 20's or later. In the realm of fantasy, seems plausible enough to me....kind of.

50 Dark Movies
There's a list? I'm not sure I would've gotten the Blue Velvet on on my own. That clue didn't make me think of that film at all. I always think of psychotic Dennis Hopper in an oxygen mask...

50 Dark Movies
Yeah...I went through a horror type of phase in my late 20's where a friend and I watched oodles of 'em, heh. A lot of those I haven't seen in years; it's a real brain-wracker trying to remember titles of multiple possible answers to some of those clues.
