I'm sorry, what??

It's awesome, isn't it?

Tonari No Totoro Beautiful. Miyazaki is my hero.

Happy birhtday, man!

I think System Shock 2 came out less than six months after Half-Life.

How's this: "One of my favorite films of all time."

One of my favorite foreign films of all time. With good reason. >_ Although, I feel the word foreign is a bit superfluous.

In a worst case scenario,npre-DX10 graphics cards won't run DX10 games at all. At best, the games will run, but with all DX10 features disabled.

I want to say two things that you should take with a grain of salt, as I'm in no way an expert. 1) From a gaming perspective, I would advise you not to go for the 7950 GX2 right now. Considering that Directx10 is less than year away I'd say, right now you should get a budget graphics card right now (like the X1900XT you mentioned), and wait and see what comes out after Vista's release. I don't feel that getting a very expensive, top of the line graphics card is worth it, if it becomes obsolete six or eight months later. 2) I don't see the point of getting an LCD monitor, if you don't have any space problems. A good CRT monitor is still much more flexible in terms of resolutions, which is a great help for gaming from a long term perspective. I hope I've helped.

Raise The Red Lantern

Scorcese wasn't even nominated for Taxi Driver. The Academy is laughable. I think Rocky won that year (1976/7?).

Personally, I prefer neutral backgrounds. They should be as unobtrusive as possible.

SHODAN is the best game villain of all time.

Let's not forget the voice acting. Irenicus was all about David Warner's voice.

I agree with Hades.

You don't have to subscribe.

You have a BG-like party of up to four people, including the PC. You have full control over their actions.

Almost no health at all, much more resilient enemies, less items, less nanites (those ten nanites each ressurrection costs can really add up). :ph34r: At least it isn't timed like System Shock 1.

You know you wanted to. Actually, I didn't but the pure awesomeness of the game forced me to. I'm playing it on impossible difficulty. It's maddening. :ph34r:

Even better?

This Planescape mod is actually looking sweet. I get the feeling they're being too ambitious, though.

System Shock 2. And it's all your fault.

Indeed. Even if it's still not as incredible as the laser sword in SS1.

You actually got the full game, and that's the first quest. You must find the magical disc 1 of power. :)"
