Sorry for the cheesy title. I've noticed a few things during my playthroughs that have led me to believe they were going to be part of larger segments of the game that were eventualy cut. The first is the Identify Jibral mission in Rome. I immediately picked up that Michael was wearing a tuxedo while sneaking around with his sniper rifle. Why? Also, during the mission you are constantly told by Mina and the mission descrition to not get caught. Caught by whom? You can't move, the security guards do nothing as long as you don't shoot. These things led me to believe that, initialy, the mission was designed for you to infiltrate as a guest and evade security. Also, the Sis subplot - was there going to be more to it? It seemed like the locket was going to lead up to something important regarding Sis and G22, but it felt like it stalled after Moscow. I thought that, perhaps, Sis might contact you to help her escape from the organization at some point - or that you would end up digging into the agency's background a bit more. But after Moscow and Taipei they just sort of fell off the radar. Was there going to be more?

Hello. My dad got a new computer for Christmas. He's had to rearrange his office to fit it in, and as a result the printer is going to be moved across to the other side of the room. His current plan is to buy a 15ft USB extension cord to run along the room, but I had another idea. The computer has Bluetooth built-in, so I was wondering if it would be possible to put a USB-Bluetooth adaptor on the printer and just run it wirelessly. Thing is, I'm not sure what adaptor will do the job with the least fuss. I've done some internet searches for USB/Bluetooth adaptors, but most are for the actual computer for wireless internet access. If anyone knows of a simple, cheap, usb-bluetooth adaptor that can basicaly just plug into the printer and work, that'd be great.

Aye, she's running fine now. Thanks!

Looking for a small, free, easy, uncomplicated, good mpeg 4 codec for Windows Media Player. Runing XP home edition service pack 3 with WMP version 11.

Hee hee, I wish I knew how to make one of those Hitler Rants videos. Anyways, now that Obsidian has five more months, here's my wishlist for what I want: 1. Improved martial arts. This means including disarms, counterattacks, blocking, grapling. Rock-em-sock-em robots needs to hit the pavement. 2. Multiple level entries. For a game with the tagline "your weapon is choice" limiting players to a set path is quite contradictory. I don't want to always start a mission in the exact same spot. Give us an option to choose multiple entries. For example: the mafia don's boat. We should be able to choose: night infiltration by zodiac (Bourne), crashing the party as a guest (Bond), hostile boarding in a police interceptor with guns blazing (Bauer). 3. Realistic gun names. It's an H&K MP7 for Pete's sake, call it that.

I think "We're On It!" would be a perfect motto for an intelligence agency. "How is that search for the terrorist going?!" CIA: We're on it! "Have you cracked into that computer network yet?!" CIA: We're on it! "Mike, have you slept with that female informant yet?!" Mike: I'm.... yeah, you get it.

You mean "we're on it" as in you're fixing the translation, or "we're on it" is what you want us to tell you to say in latin?

I need some help jogging my memory. I can't remember the name of the special effects technique that's really popular in Japanese horror films and in music videos that creates the extra jerky/spastic motion of the peron(s) onscreen. If anyone here knows what I'm talking about, could you remind me? I've ben Googling and trying to Youtube if all night, but I'll be damned if it isn't driving me crazy that I can't find it!!!

Keep getting a "damaged file" error. Anyone have a different link?

Ok, got a correct 1GB stick in today. Game is running pretty good. Cutscenes still slug, but nowhere near as bad as before. Loading times are great, and only occaissonal framerate drops in certain areas. Not bad for a laptop I bought on sale for school. Thanks everyone for your help!

I believe it was a wise man that once said "#$@#$@#$% SON OF A #$@#%@#& #$@#$@#$$ING #$%#@&%@#% #@#$@!$!@ PIECE OF @#$@#$ #%@%@#%@%%" When I ordered my RAM, I made sure to match the type, speed, and number of pins. Unfortunately, I missed the damn DDR number!!! So I ended up with a stick of DDR2 which didn't fit. Now I had to reorder a different stick and will have to wait another day for it to arrive! Plus, I'm going to have to ship back the other stick for a refund! Damn!

Started her up again, and let her run all the way through the movie this time, after it was over the game ran very smoothly. Loading times were horrible and the frame rate needed time to "catch up" once a level was loaded, but I'm pretty confident those were due to the Virtual Memory since I could hear the hard disk spinning and chugging, and once it stopped it was smooth sailing. Found out I made a mistake, but it was a good mistake: the RAM I ordered was a package deal, I'm getting two 1GB sticks so I'll have 2GB of memory, all free! Final update tommorow!!!

Ok, went ahead and installed it. Ran a test to see if everything was compatible, game opened fine, but frame rate stuttered horribly and then stalled during the opening movie. However, I'm hopeful this was due to the 256mb RAM and the game running almost entirely on Virtual Memory (the entire computer was sluggish after I boosted it, and it never actualy crashed) rather than a hardware issue. My 1GB stick is supposed to arrive on Friday, so I'm keeping fingers crossed that the stick does the trick.

This forum needed some cheering up, badly.
