Don't know about Lucius but that wasn't my problem. Not every weird pc symptom is virus/worm based. That's an interesting bit of information tho...the pages don't really descibe what it does very well (to me), however. Anyway...yeah...the internet is a dangerous place, haha.

Firefox can run slower than IE on some systems, particularly older ones - as always, just depends. I don't use IE for browsing, but I do still use it for other things on occasion.

I'm not buying one, so I'll go with the 'none' answer too. Although I don't have the antipathy towards it as some here seem to. heheh Except... ....that made me laugh. So true.

I'd like a game where your main method of locomotion wasn't always your feet. Some landspeeders would be nice...where you actually rode in/controlled them, not just clicking on something and then going to a black loading screen...One thing I liked about Sacred was riding a horse all over the place. Riding (and fighting while on the horse) had it's control/techie problems, but it was pleasant to do something besides run run run everywhere. WoW's beast riding transport system is fun too, tho it certainly didn't alleviate the running much in that game. Meh.. And yes, I know it has nothing to do with story or anything. And in terms of Kotor you'd have to enlarge the landscape/terrains a lot for it to be worth doing, which I doubt very much they'd bother to do. But I'd still like it, if done well.

They don't burn and slash forests very often. However they use a lot of pesticides. That's what I meant by poverty vs. non-poverty. To (many) of them it's survival because they lack modernization etc. One of the things that disappointed me when I bought my Subaru Legacy was the gas mileage. It's only about 20mpg in the city and 26mpg on the freeway. I was expecting a little more than that. I guess that's what I get for buying something with 'GT' in the title, even if it is a small wagon. haha. I try to be environmentally aware but I do my share of 'bad things', like anyone else. I'm particularly bad about using paper - even if I do recycle it when possible. My older sister is the obsessive crusader in my family. <_< And that I've bored everyone with my posts in this thread, back to our regular scheduled programing... edit - too many hard returns...

Did you just buy the game? If so, maybe it's faulty and you could try to exchange it.

You could try re-installing your browser. Once IE stopped letting me 'view source' of a website...it was exactly like that, where I'd click and it would do nothing at all. I never figured out why...it seemed to happen out of the blue for no reason etc...I just reinstalled IE and it went away.

It's as good a place as any, CoF. :D First car? Man...I remember my 1st car. Fun, until it got smooshed.

I never understood that rule. No wait, I do understand it's an anti-spam/learn to edit measure but doing it on occasion...nothing to be guilty for, nope.

Calm down, I don't think anyone here was claiming to be an environmental saint. But there are long-term issues that could be lessened or alleviated or prevented - many of those things are political in nature and/or poverty vs. non-poverty oriented that can really only be dealt with by the "common man" by voting, unless you want to join the Corps or live in the jungle with apes, as a few brave & dedicated souls have done over the years. And, of course, the truth is that the planet itself will survive whatever we do - humans may not, but that's what we're really complaining about when we complain about environment, isn't it? The human-comfort/pleasure/survival aspect to the topic. As to your indignant list: No on the first half, because there is almost no such thing where I live. If I lived in San Fran, there's BART and lots of bus routes to close by shopping etc., but where we are....nope. Typical US suburbia where homes are clustered together to the point where it's miles to the nearest clothing store. I do, however, drive my car very little - only when neccesary, I don't joy-ride in it. My car is 7 years old and it has 25,000 miles on it, to give you the idea. I recycyle everything that's recycable until the giant bin the city gives me is full. Yes to the lights/TV, no the computer. I also keep the thermostat at 55-65F even when it's very cold outside. I just wear more clothes. Me personally, I only use hot water when I take a shower, and that's once a day. There is, however, washing dishes and clothes. Which is probably every other day. No, but I recycle those plastic bags and I insist they do not bag stuff that doesn't need to be bagged, like toilet paper.. It's not available here, we don't own our house, and it'd be pretty expensive to try and set it up. If I owned this house, yes, I would.

Hmm....thanks. I'm not sure I quite understand completely but it's more than I knew before. Doesn't sound like I need it on then...I don't think I ever get FPS beyond my refresh rate except in menu screens.

I'll agree with you there. Not to mention all the potential medical possibilities that might yet be found in places like that. Fubar indeed.

Yeah, I know, I felt the same way initially. Di just...grew on me over time.

I fail to see how people got "I want Kotor2 to be MP" from my post. But whatever. Edit - nevermind...I failed to notice the post several above mine. *self-rasberry*

I wasn't suggesting that it be a MP game. Just the content updates part of it.

The females are just as whiney...just in a different way. All the party members...complain complain complain nag nag nag all the time. I still have the hots for Disciple. Sorry, but I do. It's the voice. Accents like that make me melt. Atton's adorable but he's more like the funny comic relief.

Indeed. From either side.

I don't like near any rainforests. I don't think a lot of people here do. *scratches head* I could be wrong, but I think you might have missed the joke I was making.

I'm beginning to understand how some people can rack up 1000's of posts... I have no suggestions but I'll add my 2 cents on whether or not I want a Kotor3 - I'd like one. But I don't feel a big need for it to be a direct sequel to the first two. I didn't like the unfinished ending of #2, but to me that's the past and I'd just be happy with a new game of similar quality/style/fun. I'm not sure any attempt at bringing back old characters to finish their stories would work for me in a game-setting...maybe some cameos or something. I'd prefer to have new characters to get to know and love/hate...to me that's half the fun of a RPG game. If I really want to see or hear Atton I can just play the Kotor2 again. I understand that people like to see their favorite characters over and over again...which is why the entertainment industry -games, films, books - has a really bad case of sequel-itis...but I for one am kind of tired of that routine and I want new characters, worlds, and environments. Being able to play a non-Jedi character class would be interesting - especially if you could play an alien. I also liked the idea of the frequent downloadable new content, say, 2-4 times a year or something, perhaps, even if I had to pay a few bucks for each one (say $5-10). One of the big selling points of MMORPG's is their constant updates...not just bug fixes but new levels and maps etc. I wish they'd do that for other types of games as well.

Hey, can someone tell me exactly what vsync is supposed to do? In the ancient past a lot of my fave games would go a little wonky if I had it on, and I never understood it's purpose...so by habit it's always off.... Am I missing something by not using it?

I often say I'm not an expert at anything, but I am an expert at wasting time. *looks at watch* oh look, it's evening already and I haven't done a damn thing. :D

Biochemistry and attitude combine together to create peace or chaos. It's hard to control either one all the time - no matter how many times you may tell yourself to 'don't worry be happy' or try to convince yourself to be rational/practical vs. irrational/emotional it doesn't always work. Is that a failing of attitude or a failing of biochemistry? Does attitude influence biochemistry more than biochemistry influences attitude? Can you really seperate the two? I don't think we know enough to know that yet. And yes, Fionavar, very subtle.

Soon if you want to visit the rainforest you'll just have to walk out your door.

Ah...that's a trying path to have to walk. Hopefully it'll have a happy ending. *sends goodwill and luck his way*

I finished watching The Island. I suppose if you just like big explosions & CGI and such it's tolerable. The plot concept could have been interesting but wasn't. It's Michael Bay, what can one expect. I'm a little shocked that so many reviwers gave it a B tho...
