Some classes and builds are way easier than others - If you're not a cleric/favoured sould/druid Gann is essentially your only healer and he burns spells likes he's addicted to them.. That makes things a little tougher.. and if you're a class that doesn't deal much damage, well then it's alot tougher.

Aye, the biggest problem is probably that the game doesn't support your Quadro and can't figure out how to use it.. hence the crashing. Unless there's a specific hotfix at the producers webpage for old games - I say stick with the Radeon.

After some upgrades this is my new rig. Asus P5Q Pro Motherboard (onboard Realtek HD audio) Intel Core2Duo 8400 3.0 Ghz 2 GB Corsair DDR3 RAM ATI 4870 1GB DDR5 250 GB Maxtor HDD (will be upgraded to a 1TB SATA in january) 19" ACER 1951 LCD (max resolution is 1280*1024 but I actually like that) Logitech MX 700 Mouse and wireless keyboard. Altec Lansing 2.1 speaker system (somewhat old, but a really realiable setup with great sound) XP Pro 32bit

And by "lived with" - you are saying that he often had things charged up his loading ramp?

Clever..

A little..

Following your example they could probably extend their lives by 10-20 years - not a the better part of a millenia.

Of course, it would be like denying the holocaust if I said we weren't.. But both the European and American legacy is what this world is.. Without either of us a great percentage of this world would still be living in huts made of ****.. and because of both of us some are far worse off.. But if we removed Europe from the equation don't you think the Arabs would've conolized the world? and if we take them away don't you think the chinese would? There's always gonna be a superpower that takes advantage of others. I can only hope that we are able to keep USA in check and hold them accountable to their ideals and they are there to do the same to us, because then we might actually be remembered for something far greater than what blood stained legacy we have now. And just so we are clear - France is a country in Europe not Europe itself - Denmark has stood by America since WW2 and I wager that we will continue to do so. Sure we don't agree with everything they do, but we are willing to give our lives just as they are, to defend the values we *do* share.. oh give me a break. i've made my positions regarding the "rest of the world" beyond clear. i've always couched them in terms relating to those that are hypocritically condemning the US telling us how to live. you either haven't been paying attention or just don't care, but that is the truth. it is akin to a strawman to think i really mean every single person that does not live in the US... rather than calling my positions "ignorant outbursts, childish accusations and obvious hostility" why don't you take a long hard look at whom i reply to and why. do yourself a favor and search for the intellectually honest approach. exactly, everyone, including me, is entitled to his own opinion yet here YOU sit in judgment calling me childish. not one of my opinions, btw, calls for my or any government forcing an opinion or behavior on its people. Where did I say that I'm forcing you to change your opinion? I'm just calling your sweeping generalizations bull**** - because you might think that polishing them makes it fine, I simply argue that it doesn't - and your shotgun arguments are hitting anything but their mark. i am, apparently you can't see it or don't understand it. and those that aren't are the ones GD and i speak out against. taks Just to round this up - bascially I'm on your side - I don't like these guys either and I think they should shut up and go play with their small manhood somewhere else. I just don't like the fact that you go all Rambo, because you have a problem with a few idiots.

Okay taks I'm getting a little offended by your constant remarks about "the rest of the world" .. It's really people like you that give your great country a bad image with such ignorant outbursts, childish accusations and obvious hostility towards others for simply stating an opinion.. Why are the rest of the world envious of you? Do you truely believe that europeans are envious of americans? in that case I suggest you come over here and ask us.. Instead of acting like you actually know what you are talking about. And your opinions are very un-american I might add! What happened to the land of the free? where everyone was entitled to an opinion no matter how crazy it was? Take a look at what you are defending and what you are defending it with.... And Guarddog .. What are you talking about when you say ungrateful Europeans.. Have you forgotten your own countries history and who helped you to claim independence.. Without America - Europe would be a fascist dicatatorship now - true.. but without Europe - America would still be an English colony.. Don't forget that! Because we haven't forgotten what you did for us.. And we are eternally grateful..

Are we suffering from megalomania there taks? Just because Steve wants Bush in jail doesn't mean the whole world is out to get you.

A Lovecraft 1920'ish as previously mentioned would rock! Especially if OE decided to go full-scale M rated with it.. That would be beyond words..

Some severely handicapped people don't want to be "normal" either.. My guess it has something to do with comfort and identity, he knows the condition, in fact he can't imagine being without it and if he did lose it I imagine he would feel like a big part of his personlity was missing.

Assassins Creed with guns all over..

Do you mean Rise of the Argonauts? is that even out yet?

I gave my copy to a friend, I got to level 15 and explored like 20% of the map or something - but it was really a struggle for me to get that far. I've never been a fan at openworld vs depth so I guess I should've expected to be dissapointed. My biggest grief is really that Fallout 3 constantly reminds me how much I need immersion to enjoy a game, if I loose it too often I get extremely bored.. The story was actually ok, but it was delivered in such a way that I felt no connection to it at all.

"Aren't you confused Butters!?" Classic..

Nice one Matthew! Also an interesting read for us non-animators..

I've hardly watched enough television to make a top-10 list.. -Spoilers- I saw about 2

Epic.. --- Here's my contribution:

The incredible machine.. wow I had totally forgotten about that.. Did you ever notice that the game changes it's style if you play on a major holiday? Like snow and candy canes in Christmas and lots of fireworks at New Year?

Extremely interesting! I guess we are probably less than a century away from true AI now.

Well it was at Roskilde Festival.. But mushroom are probably a little too extreme, thruth be told I wasn't under any influence other than alcohol, which is why it was surreal.

Amazing what the brain is able to do... Funny you should say that, I actually had a really wierd experience at a Roger Waters concert. I started feeling a physical reaction to the sounds, like the different tunes were pushing me and depending on the instrument they would come at different speed too.. It was a really surreal experience..

I wanted to try out your suggestion, but suddenly the room was there when I loaded, before I even got near it.

Did you get the (massive) patch? I know SoZ broke the voices for MotB, but I didn't realise there were other issues. I'm a few hours into the game, and loving it so far. No bugs yet, and the death system and random encounters do feel a bit like Baldur's Gate (that's a good thing). Yeah the massive patch fixed alot of problems, but not this one.
