HAHAHAHA I loved that game! Machete wielding goalies. Fans throwing chainsaws on the ice! 2 Minutes for fighting, 5 minutes for fighting and losing. And faceoffs? Well, those were just opportunities for you to punch the other guy, not win the faceoff!

Too bad it was never available via Direct Download and you could just go to the site and get it again

*zing*

I was never talking about the beta patch, but the actual patch. By the way, I heard this at IGN: It does have additional content, which is likely where they will justify the monetary requirement. http://pc.ign.com/articles/700/700655p1.html EDIT: ERROR. While that page is mostly about a patch, it seems as though (upon looking closer) the charge is JUST for the new content. My bad.

It comes with most Windows systems. Maybe she's using Linux though.

Still undecided. Looking for bestest bang for my buck.

Which I think is built on top of Mozilla too isn't it?

"God, if you don't want me to do this, give me a sign.......<cue earthquake>....really, any sign at all"

Hmmm, I don't remember problems. THough I didn't pick up NWN right away. I know it's OpenGL which is nVidia's thing....but I believe NWN2 shifted to DX9.

My roommate played through that.

Have we heard any official reason? I know it's something stilly like $1.98, but I've never heard of a company charging for a patch before.

You'd probably be better off with a handheld.

Oh Sargy, I know it'd be a waste of money. Hence why I said I'd be stupid But 3 X's in the name OMG r0x0r speed!

Is it true they are going to charge for the actual patch?

Fair enough. Which is not something you require a CD for. It sounds like if a digital distribution company that you bought a game from goes belly up a few years later, it won't likely bother you.

I'm surprised it took them this long.

I really like As Heaven Is Wide

The point was that there's no guarantee that his precious CDs are going to work forever either. It must be a real pain in the butt for him to patch games though.

What if your CD wears out or gets damaged? How do you install the game then?

I install the game then put the disc back in its packaging. Get a No CD patch and plug it in. No need to have the disc in the machine and its nice and safe in a secure location in case I need to do a reinstall. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Errr, that wasn't the point. I can quite literally play any of my current batch of games without the CD in the drive, as long as I have it in while loading. So I'm thinking people are overstating the issue about the computer needing to start spinning every few minutes. Some games may require it, but in my own experience many (most?) do not.

It wasn't the car disappearing...it was just the trunk!

I remember beating him 1-on-1 once. He can be a doozy.

I'm probably going to be stupid and get the X1900 XTX when I upgrade my computer. I mean, 3 X's in the title...it must r0x0r!!!
