My Night Elf Hunter's home, Shadowglen. He's only level 8 now. It'll be nice when he gets a pet because he sucks in melee. It's cool being able to play at this resolution with all settings maxed out and virtually no Internet lag.

If you don't mind older games, Diablo, Diablo II, and Age of Kings (Age of Empires 2) are all fun to co-op play over a LAN. I had a blast with those games once upon a time.

I was playing NWN2. Was. Left Highcliff all geared up for Neverwinter but ended up in the little room just outside Zeaire's portal, where the exit usually is after rescuing Shandra. Oops. That's what I get for installing patch 1.06. The dialog transition to Neverwinter worked just fine in 1.05.
At least WoW is on the way to my mailbox. I'm a late-comer, but it'll keep me occupied for awhile.

At first I thought some giant was doing splits while bent over in the tunnel. And how are you upside down?
After months of waffling I finally ordered the game + expansion, but I'm not going to play on any PVP servers. I'll find a nice quiet, low population server and conduct my affairs unmolested, thanks very much. The XP bonus for casual gamers is going to be nice because I have a busy schedule. Hopefully there won't be too many low-foreheaded people to put up with. Had enough of that in D2.

Indeed, I wear Large, or XL depending on the brand, and I'm considered slim.
I agree, however, that the USA is getting bigger around the midriff, and it can't all be blamed on genetics or heredity.

You have to mantle, or whatever the HL version is called. Sort of jumping and then crouching to grab on and climb up. It's hard for me to do but I managed with patience.

I hear you. While I do make more money than I need for my simple lifestyle, I don't like wasting it. Instead of getting an 8800GTX when they came out, which would have been overkill (CPU limited) for my curren system, I got a much less expensive 7950GT that was a considerable upgrade, in terms of performance, from my 6800GT. (NWN2 went from ~20FPS at 1024x768 to ~40FPS at 1920x1200.)
I want the next computer I build to last for a few years, and I want it to be able to run Vista-like 64-bit operating systems, both from a performance standpoint and from a programming standpoint (I'm on a 32-bit system with a 64-bit processor so I can only fake it at the moment.) It should also be able to dominate any game that comes out in the next five to seven years (assuming programmers don't become completely incompetant in their optimization capabilities).

Glad I've waited. I knew something like this would happen.
Edit: wow some biting comments on XBit. *checks date; it's not April 1st* I'll believe it more when I see something written up on AnandTech.

So long as Obsidian is kind enough to offer limited (but still greater than most sites) photo uploading, we don't really need a paid host.
I can't remember if I was still running a 486 when I downloaded this image (off a BBS since the internet wasn't public).
Another old wallpaper.

If you have a program that lets you control the compression your JPG files use, you can tweak the setting to get the image under 1 meg and still keep your resolution. That's how I do it for my 1920x1200 screenshots, which often start out around 5 meg in size.

Soulbringer, an old favorite despite its shortcomings.

This is nothing new to me. When I was growing up, our animals always tended to be friendlier if one of us was sick or had a headache.
Anyone who's ever watched a good animal mother care for her young can attest to their being able to sense when something's wrong.

I used to run a half mile to school in five minutes as a wimpy kid (not very good imo, but coach wanted me to sign up for track anyway), but as an adult my bad knee prevents me from attempting anything beyond a short sprint.
-
I don't use a desktop image because my screen is off when I'm not at home and never idles when I am home. I always have a game, IDE, or document taking up the whole display (24", 1920x1200) so my "wallpaper" changes constantly. I prefer it that way after running with an actual wallpaper for years.

That's a weird font with the capital D looking rather like a capital stylized O.
Our characters get Oexterity instead of Dexterity, and one can contract a Oisease instead of a Disease. I wonder what other points of humor are in the game's text due to this font.
OMG Reduction = the factor by which a character's response to surprise attacks is subdued.
-
Thanks, I'll check 'em out when I get home. I still enjoy a romp through IWD/2 now and then and will probably have the games until I die.
-
I like. I also started with the early Ultima games, and I share many of the producer's feelings on the matter of CRPGs. I'm also glad to see the MO crossed out of MMORPG. Singleplayer's where it's at for me.
Looks like this game is still a ways off, as usual, so I'll wait and see as well. Be worth reading a review or two after release to see how first impressions go.

I wish NWN2 featured dancing. Instead we get to throw hay bales (aka cheer) and do some other ordinary things.
-
Old but funny, and a good Mage/Wizard/Sorcerer/etc theme song...

Go into a text field, such as the forum text editor we use for posting, replying and editing.
Right-click anywhere on the text field (where we type our messages) and select "Languages" then "Add dictionaries..."
This takes you to the Firefox Addons website for language support and shows your current dictionary in a big green button at the top of the list. Click that button to reinstall the dictionary.
I hope that solves your problem.

Huh, you know, I never did figure out how to get that titan/angel/whatever to reveal Mephistopheles' true name to me. She always refused when I asked.
You have to ask for her True Name first, then use it to command her to reveal his.
I'd forgotten that and was bouncing around her dialog options until it dawned on me again (haven't played HotU in a year or two).
-
Even all blocky and low-res, he's still more impressive than NWN2's King of Shadows, and I don't have to fight him when I have his true name. Mwahaha.
-
Just had what was probably my happiest ending to HotU ever. Nathyrra was my character's true love and Aribeth was the Sleeping Man's true love. Unfortunately, the epilogue didn't recognize the Aribeth + Sleeping Man arrangement; they still had separate lives according to the end game. Geez, Bioware, if you're going to randomize these things, you might as well follow through with matching epilogues.
