Tale

I know only two things of Vista that I care about. 1) There's only one feature of Vista that I'm interested in. The one that enables graphics drivers to run (and crash) like user apps. IE, without taking the whole system with them. 2) If that's the only feature of Vista that I'm interested in, Microsoft did crap for consumer research in regards to my demographic. Maybe Vista has another feature I'm interested in. Anyone here know if lowering your desktop resolution then raising it back restores your old icon locations?

Interesting, Ive never seen the "Spellsurge" enchant before (on his main weapon). http://wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=22558

http://wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r...s&n=Cleopas My e-friend Cleopas. Played with him in SWG, EQII, and even WoW for a while. They just downed Illidan.

I occasionally chat with a psychotic on another forum. I don't know what he's been diagnosed with, I only know he has been diagnosed and medicated in the past, but you dare not bring it up. Chatting with him you can see that either he's a constantly high raver (which is actually an alternate supportable theory) or that he has difficulty distinguishing between fantasy and reality. It doesn't sound like it's so bad that it effects his daily functioning, however. He has some pretty interesting views on history, the government, even reality. And supposedly he's writing a book over the latter. A Schizophrenic's Guide to Reality (my title, not his) God, I'm so buying that book.

I keep looking at the game and while it has positive reviews, most comment on how the story is so-so. What's your opinion?

I never said this was a memorial service. This thread appears intended in memoriam, however. Which means its rude to just post in it "I don't care." If you don't care, don't bloody post! "Just because it's public doesn't mean it's not inappropriate and rude" says the guy who enjoys crashing in-game memorial services for lulz. (But at least I'm not deluded enough to argue that my actions are anything other than rude)

People die all the time, I didn't know him or his music. So i'm supposed to feel bad because he was famous ? No, I think the point is that you're just not supposed to post about it at all. If someone holds a memorial service do you just walk up to the podium and say "I didn't know this guy, I don't care."

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/v...uation-BioShock Yahtzee is a terribly creative guy. Aside from Zero Punctuation, he also makes freeware adventure games that have recieved some significant popularity. Most famous appear to be the 5 Days a Stranger "Defoe" or "Chzo" series, however you like to refer to it.

Jedi don't "fall" to the darkside in KOTOR games. They jump.

16:10 is pretty much standard for widescreen LCDs. 16:9 is more common for HD TVs.

I'm reading a book. Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King. Taking a break from Persona 3. Will probably finish it this weekend. Still need to finish Final Fantasy IV, as well. Then I might start up Jagged Alliance 2 or Katamari Damacy.

I'm bottlenecked on the CPU side, which I suspect is related to it. Most games seem more forgiving of it, though. When Mask of the Betrayer comes out, I'll probably just play with nVidia's scaling options and pillarbox the game to a lower resolution like I used with my 4:3. Edit: Or as an alternative, bump the thing up to my full 1680 x 1050 native and turn off some of the more meaningless options (that I don't remember turning on) while keeping shadows to low. Which seems to run a lot better.

It still has performance issues for me. But oh well. I like the strategy mode, but am not a fan of the character mode default keymaps. Perhaps without the performance issue I could accept using mouselook instead of using the keyboard to turn. Overall, that's mostly just an issue with customization and having to get used to it. I love the strategy mode and am likely to use that as my default mode. However, I'm still used to BG controls, so hopefully I can find whatever key is "select party" and the only thing it lacks is formations. And touch sneak attacks. Crap, looks like webdings and wingdings have been disabled.

I'll cut you!

What fix is that? Sneak attack applying to ranged (and melee, actually) touch attacks. Some might argue about it being a "fix" or not, but that's what I call it. I know there's supposedly a fix on the vault for it, but it's still on my wishlist, dangit!

Still missing my most anticipated fix.

It would be a blatant disservice to myself to do it any less! I'm so beautiful as it is.

Not much different. I've always believed I was a lesbian trapped in a man's body.

Sometimes I miss my Warlock of DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM. I remember trying to get newbies to conspire with me to unleash a Doomguard on the other newbies. But then one screwed it up. :'(

I draw a heavy distinction between character development and character manipulation. Just because a character's attitudes or behaviors change doesn't mean it's reasonable. Reasonable character development doesn't have dedicated characters turning into homicidal maniacs and vice versa over a number of sparring sessions or mild kind gestures. Looking at Baldur's Gate II, you could turn Viconia and Sarevok good. I mean, BLIMEY! All of these are only achieveable through ego stroking acts of plot. Sarevok gets a piece of a good soul. The KOTOR main characters have force bonds. Characters can develop without this kind of thing. People do it all the time. People become smarter, more informed, change opinions, reinforce old opinions stronger. And they still make decisions that contradict other people they're around. And handpicking choices to get a particular response isn't roleplaying unless you're roleplaying a liar. It's metagaming.

Most definitely. DVI is intended to maximize picture quality of a digital display. Converting it over to analog loses that. I can't give you any technical reason for it, but a) yes DVI has better picture quality than VGA and b) no, you do not retain that quality converting to VGA. From what I'm grasping from the wiki entries on the two, the 29 pins of DVI transmit quite a bit more information than the 15 pins of VGA.

Attach frickin' laser beams to their heads!
