http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/200611...ntsitupstraight
The longstanding advice to "sit up straight" has been turned on its head by a new study that suggests leaning back is a much better posture.Researchers analyzed different postures and concluded that the strain of sitting upright for long hours is a perpetrator of chronic back problems.
Using a new form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), researchers studied 22 volunteers with no back pain history. The subjects assumed three different positions: slouching; sitting up straight at 90 degrees; and sitting back with a 135-degree posture

Looks like time to upgrade your card j/k
Just pick Geforce and TNT2. The 8800 series cards require a seperate driver from the rest, which is why they are listed seperatly.
My hero.
You're right about the upgrade, though. Now that the 8 series is out, the 7s should be much cheaper.
-
Went to Nvidia's site, and they don't have the 6 series cards listed...or at least I don't see them. Help.

Hype of the year, nothing else. Noone will even remember it in 3-4 months, just like F.E.A.R
Except that they're advertising FEAR again

I always enjoy PA, but that UserFriendly comic is pretty bad. Maybe I'm not the right type of geek for that comic.

Seriously, for the love of god, sell it!

Anyone else post on the BG msg. boards that were threaded and oldschool in format? I'm not sure there were even post count counting abilities, but I don't recall. It was so many years ago...I don't even remember what nick I used. heh I remember when they made/moved to "new" boards that was closer to current forum formats, but I never really went there much - I'm kinda assuming the stats are from that "new" forum?

Odd, how after having once spent two years of your life completely wasting your time spamming some gaming forum, four years later this is the only thing google finds when you type in your name.
I'd be surprised if one of you even remembered me. Anyway, if someone does, how've you been? As for me, after I got banned from the interplay forums for some reason I don't remember, I actually got a life. Maybe it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Afterwards, I finished my bachelor wih credit, and now I'm doing my master in Bologna (italy), having loads of fun with other international students. But, as you see, I'm still nerdy enough to want to recall memories of internet forum days. So how've you guys been?
Hey, snookums.

I found Most Wanted really fun. Looked great played great, made me want to drive really fast in real life D:
Not sure about Carbon...want to give it a try, though.

Don't you already have a DVD player or two or three?

Nice

I can't wait until they start expanding the Wii's games into the survival horror zone of gaming.

You don't say.

Even after "photo-realism" is achieved, tech companies will try to make it where you're actually in the game, ala a holosuite, or something similar (but to a lesser degree).
-
Ok dawgs.
This is the new Spidey 3 trailer. Its been out for a few days.
However, this is something that Sony is trying to keep secret
Hah..that second one will be at the very end of the movie perhaps.

A quick google search brought this up from the FAQ.Shapeshifter abilities now create "symbolic paws". When you wield one you
turn into a Werewolf, when you remove it you're human again. No possible
exploits, and you may choose whether to put the paw in your on-hand or
off-hand. Since your off-hand THAC0 as a pure druid is, shall we say,
sub-optimal, I recommend the on-hand.
When you try to shapeshift, do you have an item appear in your inventory?
You know, you'd think I was an intelligent guy, but I never thought to look in my inventory, even after I had read that (from the readme). That seems to do it. Still weird, though. Thanks!
-
So, to hold myself over till I can get NWN2 (around Thanksgiving, maybe), I decided to do a solo run through BG2. Decided to use a Shapeshifter, sinch I've never done that before. I heard they were pretty weak, so got the Weidu Shapeshifter rebalancing mod, but I think it's bugged. When I create a new character, I only have 1 shapeshift available, and it doesn't seem to do anything when I activate the ability. Was this a known bug, or is something els happening.
Yeah, I know, I probably won't get an answer, BG2 being "dead" and all.
-
No, it wouldn't. There is no factual evidence to back up that claim. None whatsoever.
I have to agree...at least, I want to agree.

we needed to be a HUGE presence early on to discourage the so-called "insurgency" from neighboring countries and from within the various opposing clans in iraq itself. lessons learned that i hope we don't forget.
Why? We apparently didn't learn similar lessons from Nam?
Nam started off small, too, then it became a situation of escalating commitment. The same thing would happen now (probably) if we sent more troops to Iraq.

Anarchy in the USA!
if you're being serious, you're more of an idiot then I had ever imagined.
Go rent a movie like Black Hawk Down. That's Anarchy. I'm 14 and I can figure this stuff out.
Nothing says "Anarchy in the USA!" like a half-assed attempt at it.

Had to vote a straight Dem ticket.

"I like how the npcs will bicker with each other, it gives the group realism in not being a bunch of yes men."
the problem is that they bicker all the time over the most mundane stuff. They're pretty much all chidlren; not a partu. Neeshka is the worst offender, and is why she deserves nothing but poo.
Both music tracks are awesome. NWN1 music is stilkl awesome, and most NWN2 tunes are awesome. Sadly,t ehy also snuck in some of the lame NWN1 tunes as well.
Wait, you edited your post and it STILL looks like this?

10 hours, huh? Can't say I'm surprised.

Just a quick question;
does anybody actually use pause liberally? In IE games the way I played was, I would pause every 6 seconds (or more often, really), order each of my party mbmers actions, then pause whenever I need someone to make a move. In difficult battles I would be pausing literally every couple of seconds.
So I'd like to know if anyone plays with that much pausing and the lack of complete control still bothers them, or if party members running off and all matters if you don't pause as frequently.
I was like you. I had to pause ever other second in any significant combat situation. I never trusted the scripts from the IE games and didn't trust the AI to have my best interest in mind.
The complete opposite, NWN, disappointed me. How much better is NWN2 in this regard?
-
Also, the way romance development in BG2, depended on how long you had been playing the game, and where your characters were at any given time, worked a lot better than just making the development dependent on what level you were on.
Agreed, but BG2 takes a lot longer to finish than games today, and it often led to oddly placed romantic conversations...

Why wii? why have thou done this to me?

No they shouldn't. Either way, one would have a hard time proving that the guy wasn't swinging the Wiimote around like a madman. If this was an epidemic like Xboxs overheating, catching on fire, or whatever, maybe.
