Gorgon

I'd say the one thing the game runs out of rather fast is narrative thrust. Sandboxing is fun, but unless there is something noteworthy to do it gets old.

Also I wouldn't keep trial running the system at critical temperatures, that could kill the processor. What does the BIOS read as CPU temperature.

If the CPU fan isn't a snug fit it could well cause the mobo to auto shutdown. Since your machine could boot and work for a while the processor must still work. Next step is to order a new CPU fan and heatsink, it's quite cheap compared to anything else in there so i'd say you are in luck.

No wonder they needed that game

Storm of Zhehir is the more open world one from Obsidian that's been done for ages that they are holding out for a Christmas release right, whats the other one.

If Fallout 1 or 2 had had the technology available, there is no telling how much more enjoyable it might have been. There are a lot of extras that just weren't possible. The comparison isn't fair.

I liked the first for it's exploration and puzzles. Good for it's day. Then came remake, 1 through 109. There hasn't been a good Tomb Raider game for over a decade, that don't seem to stop the tide though. It's amazing what name recognition can do. I know of which I speak, I played some of those horrible games. Also I intend to be a better man than you and leave the function of utter crap unattributed.

'Tomb Raider' Gimme a break. All the previous installments have been utter crap. What makes this different..

I like save points if they are done carefully. Not just before an unskippable sequence obviously. If I know that not too far back is an autosave or save point, I can immerse myself more in the game and not have to press quicksave every time I feel I have done something slightly noteworthy. There is no call to disable independent saves though, Save points only work if the game gets the difficulty setting just right. Often that is not the case.

Nice dodge, aye.

I think that's the reason we turn into slobs. Psychologically it starts as a statement of identity.

She is really bad at costume dramas and usually good in everything else.

None of the women I have known could ascend, or stoop, to my level of slobness. Of course all this proves is that I am one.

So that's what the weird flash of light is. Yes, try switching off the light and peeling some scotch tape.

Go further to sell your stuff. Also the heavy military fighter you have access to in the beginning is the best overall balance between moveability and firepower. You could shoot more stuff and take more damage, but moving around slow is a sure way to catch a lot of missiles.

I accidentally killed all her companions. Should teach them not to stand between a flamer and a ghoul anyway.

Well surely if you believe in God you believe in satan, angles, miracles and ghosts by extension.

Whenever my boundless pessimism and skepticism regarding spirituality comes up as I'm talking with my friends, I am always berated with the knowitall phrase 'there is more between heaven and earth', and the smug bastards all fall over each other priding themselves on being more open minded than me. It's not like it takes any effort to believe in Santa, Jesus, Asmodeus or the tooth fairy, and they never qualify why it's better to jump to conclusions you can't support.

Virtue in brevity. I generally ignore posts that take up an entire page.

Wing Commander had Mark Hamil as the protagonist, or was he just commander hero.

Something drastically awful has happened. It's been days since I finished the game, and for some reason I have one of the Radio Free Wasteland songs on the brain. Bongo bongo bongo I don't wanna leave the Congo oh no no no no nooo.

Well there's EVE online I guess, if you are interested in a game that does on for ever, and ever, and ever, with no conclusion, emotional investment, or dramatic curve.

Anyway are we counting Fox News as part of the 'liberal media bias' now.

So is she your mother or not. She seems to suggest there was something between her and dad and you, and if you go to the Lincoln memorial and listen to a few project purity tapes before you head to Rivet City you get the dialouge option 'I have been doing some poking around'.. she will then tell you that she is really your mother, but other tapes point in another direction. Maybe an affair.. Also in the opening scene, doctor Li appears to be helping to deliver the baby.

I think it comes back to subjectivity, philosophy, the very definition of what is 'real'. We aren't a completely empirically based species. In response to what we can't explain, we make things up, then we perpetuate them through suggestion and tradition. How else could organized religion have survived this long. I can't help but notice how paranormal encounters always seem to happen to people who are already believers, logically enough since paranormal phenomena are part of their available solutions to unexplained phenomena. A skeptic would not be satisfied that an unexplained sound is indicative of a poltergeist after all.
