****ALANSCHU INFLUENCE: INCREASED**** :D

It could always be Nintendo is being more realistic with their predictions

That was one nice thing about my install of Fedora Core. Given the way Fedora is distributed, it's waaaaay easier to have incremental updates for drivers and whatnot. It pretty much autodetected my entire system with latest drivers when I installed it

I would have liked to have seen Atris as a potential ally...even if purely as a NPC that wasn't part of your party, but you saw in action at other places. Of course only when you convinced her the true path of the Jedi

lol Still, I had to dig up a floppy drive to use my l33t SATA drives

Why did they move again? I asked before but I cannot remember

I love my Athlon 64. 3500+ Socket 939 here 1 GB dual channel mem....yum.

I heard someone quote John Carmack as saying the best defense against software piracy is quality software. I can agree to a point, but at the same time I don't know *anyone* (myself included) that actually owned Quake 2. And all id Games since Q3A (both of them ) have CD Keys, soooo

Meh.....I "hate" the market leaders Gooooo ATI/AMD

I haven't, mostly because I have a soft spot for the underdog, plus I have enjoyed the Windows performance out of my ATI cards as of late.

Sweet multiplayer with a CD Key seems very effective. Games like Diablo II, Half-Life and whatnot Of course you *could* argue that they're just good games

I suspect the biggest "challenge" would be dialogue...particularly the voice. Although I would probably be happy if even Aurora did it. It could even be silent for all I care, if the content is still good.

I asked my teacher if I should go for the 64-bit version of Fedora Core, but he said I should probably wait, likely because he knows I'm using it so I can do some work on it. He probably hasn't done much checking with his project to make sure that it'd run fine in a 64-bit environment. Fedora Core 4 was actually a pretty smooth install, and the default GNOME X-Window GUI is actually pretty clean. It's much nicer than that time I watched my Dad try to get Red Hat Linux running in the late 90s when he was checking out options for a server he needed for work Being in CompSci, I am surrounded by some uber-geeks (myself being one of them). I remember one time commenting in class that I used Windows XP, and I heard a few snickers :angry: I'm sorry, but I'd use Linux or MacOS if they actually supported the games I'd want to play. I don't understand many of the people that install and use a different OS simply for the sake of being different. In fact, I switched from MacOS because the games I wanted to play were all on DOS. Although my Dad has a neat idea of building machines for customers that only want a computer for e-mail and the Internet. He's hoping he can configure a simple enough system with Linux on it to help save the customer some money, as they won't have to buy a $150+ copy of Windows XP just to check their email. EDIT: I find ATIs drivers suck ass in Linux (in my one week experience). Unless someone knows where I can find some better ones, it might be something to think about.

Really? I don't remember that. Even then!!!!! In unrelated news, Fionavar seems to be back. Oddly enough, he feels some threads need to be taken care of He's taking it quite well though. I was expecting a healthy amount of :rawrs: when he came back

She kept it in safe keeping as a memento of you? I wondered the same thing

I actually just got a 250 GB HD (for free!). Both of them are SATAs too. Thank goodness Fedora Core 4 recognizes SATA. I found it ironic that the only way I could use my state of the art hard drive was if I temporarily hooked up an old obsolete floppy drive so I could load the HD controller for XP to install I've split both my HDs into partitions. My 160 has a 10 GB partition that holds ONLY Windows. I did this so if I reformat, I don't have to worry about backing stuff up. The rest is a 150 GB partition used mostly for games and other junk. My second hard drive is split into a 200 GB and 50 GB partition. I *just* got this hard drive, and the 200 GB partition is still empty and basically all I did was put the swap file over there for now (no sense having it compete with my constructive spins of my HD ). The 50 GB is a new install of Fedora Core 4. My work is basically all done on Linux, and while I had Cygwin running for a bit, it just isn't "real" Linux, so when the new HD came into my possession, I figured it'd be a good time to go with a dual boot system. Considering I only use it really for work (and I'll still surf on it if that's all I plan on doing and it's already loaded), 50 GB should be plenty for it. I'm a mediocre Linux user at best (never really had a need until school and work this summer), so learning about how to use everything has been quite a bit of fun

Yeah...I was hoping for a bit more from her, especially seeing as you seemed to have quite the history with her from before the game. Even if it was just an opportunity to get your original lightsaber back

Hahaha

Then again, the game wasn't meant to portray the events of World War II with one hundred percent acurateness. Much like, say, Lionheart used real events contrasted with fictional ones, so did Silent Storm. In my opinion it really works because it gives the story and gameplay a fun twist, B movie meets sci-fi. Although I can see why people wouldn't like this, it's how the game is made. And personally the fun still exists after it. The only real problem I had with that element was that the mech suits felt overpowered. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's probably the biggest beef I had. I didn't seem to have any inclination that they were coming, and then suddenly I met up with one and my team of commandos was relatively ill-equipped to fight them. I just felt it was too much of "lets make a cool new twist since fighting humans gets boring" event. While I still haven't played Far Cry (though I intend to), I am weary about it since apparently it takes a turn for the Sci-Fi too. I guess what I don't like about the "twists" in both of these games is that they same unnecessary. The demo of Far Cry was insane fun and I expect the retail will be too, and I loved Silent Storm and was having an absolute blast. I guess I just didn't feel it needed a twist. The second mission I got with those panzerbot thingies was crazy....there was like 8 of them....and I can only carry so much heavy weapons to deal with them. The first mission there was only the one so it wasn't as bad, just a shock.

Or don't alternate at all. I almost always use a new slot (having a 160 GB HD certainly helps). I have 1.5 GB of saved games for KOTOR 2

And no problems for you :D

It was very common for people to get black screens when trying to return to Dantooine after finding the remaining Jedi. I actually played through the game a variety of times, and found that as long as I did not FINISH Dantooine first (i.e. I could get right up until the end with the mercenary fight), I never had a problem. But if I did, then I would have a problem. I tried to mix and match the planets up as best I could, but the only way I could ever have the gamestopping bug was if I finished Dantooine first. Some other people in a thread I started a while back reported the same problem and agreed with my solution, but there are those that said they had finished Dantooine first and had no problems, so :\

Twitch skills in MOO2????????

Spellmar should be lucky he survived that ordeal.

My Ryu will r0x0r you (unless you use Chun Li...at which point it might be close :D). Fei Long was definitely the Bruce Lee clone of the fighting games. Crazy fast punching combos for him. I'll admit that I didn't continue playing Street Fighter into the EX ALPHA GAMMA Epsilon squared to the root of Omega Marvel edition.
