Start of old thread End of old thread Managed to put in 15 minutes of Dead Space the other day. Haven't managed to get out of the crashed rescue ship yet Too much work, too little gaming time at the moment.

What version was your Windows when you bought it? Retail/OEM? If it was an older version, you should be able to roll it back, but I am not sure where you get from that it is SP3 that is the cause of your problem. From personal experience, I played Kotor2 for more than half a year with SP3 with no problems. Vista on the other hand... seems to hate Bink players As for posting links to anything but the official Microsoft downloads, that is a big no-no that gets people in trouble.

That occured to me too, but it was an interesting topic anyway.. I'll just remove the link.. I thought so too, even checked out the link, but no amount of trying revealed anything being promoted/solicited/sold/advertised As Rosjerg said, interesting topic I would love to visit London during summer time (having always been there during winter for some reason), otherwise I am partial to southern Europe (the Canary Islands, the Greek Islands, the Baleares etc.

It seemed like those hordes of monsters in the grind areas spawned when you stepped on certain triggers, not when you entered the buildin/cave. It disappointed me quite a bit, having chosen a ranger for my first play through, all beefed up in motion tracker and radar equipment (or whatever the skills/feats are called). All of it useless since there weren't any thugs/orcs to detect until they spawned on top of you. Damned hook horrors...

I don't know any of those games... and I wanted to be excited

According to my ancestors, Ragnarok is what awaits when the Aesir and the Jotuns fight the last battle.

Help celebrate World Nutella Day Can somebody tell me why most major religions seems based on fear? Maybe I've heard the wrong people talk about it over the years, but the threats of death and damnation and bad consequences of not following The One True belief ® seems to outweigh the possible benefits by a large margin. Almost like the IRS... As for the gameshow, it seems like a bad idea. I might be a follower of Pragmatism, but It makes a mockery of what other people might believe in and unnecessarily so.

Atari 2600? Was that a crack at my age young lady? When I was young, there be dragons blah blah etc. (keeps talking about the good old days) I am sure the games were better too I seriously miss games that had the level of detail of the IE games. I might be old fashioned, but somehow I still find the artwork and level gfx of those old 2d games superior to most 3d modelled stuff. Edit: For the record, I never had an Atari 2600. My first computer was a C64 in 1983

Anyone of the X-Wing/Tie Fighter games that runs on contemporary computers would be welcome *stares wistfully at his old LucasArts boxes*...

Yes. Your position sometimes depends on whether you are the perpetrator or the victim. Lets stick to discussing Dragon Age for the time being and if anyone has a problem with the concept of "taking what doesn't belong to you without paying your due for it and depriving somebody else of their livelyhood in the process" being wrong, they are welcome to PM me.

I haven't really said anything yet for two reasons. Water cooling requires a bit of work to bash together initially (and I got the impression that "hasslefree" was a requirement). Once there, it is no different than any other cooler maintenance wise. Check liquid levels once a year, thats about it. Second reason is price, as I suspect it will be more expensive than fan cooling. That being said, it is completely noiseless and offers superior colling to most fans you can find out there (imho)

I wouldn't trust the taste buds of a people who consumes Vegemite and Black Pudding Not really into sweets, but I can sometimes be bribed by chocolate. Austrian and Belgian in particular

...was thinking the same thing

I once asked the same thing about cricket down here and almost got lynched It's one of them cultural differences. The movie "Major League" with Charlie Sheen and Tom Berenger is as far as my knowledge of baseball goes. Maybe I'll learn a thing or two here

That *is* silly. I can understand that the legal system goes out of its way to protect the privacy of a person until found guilty, but afterwards? Should criminal records in general be publicly available? It might put a few journalists out of their job, but still.

Finally got solid ground under my feet again after a 70 hour work week, including a lot of time spent in the air or hanging around in airports Added another stuffed toy animal (a wombat) to my collection from an airport souvenir store Time to catch up on emails, laundry, pm's, forum events, snail mail, etc. and then crash on the couch watching a random DVD.

Maybe because that is how it is pronounced in German? In Danish too for that matter. Ooni... rather than Youni... a slip that happens for me too on occasion.

An ugly blue guy and some orange stuff on the cover, reminds me of something... Planescape: Torment box art. Marketing 101: Needs Sie in an "Ursula Andress" bikini on the cover too.

According to my former Kiwi colleagues, it sounds like the Orcs in the LoTR movies, but close enough I suppose

I first thought that Krezack was talking about a girl friend when reading the thread title

The opposite seems to be the case. The distance between Earth and Moon is constantly increasing. Some day it will just pack up and leave. Besides the oddity of no more tides, Earth might lose some of its stability and be more likely to wobble than it is now

It looks like this particular discussion wasn't destined for constructive results? Maybe some other day...

Moved to proper forum, although it only seems halfway related to Kotor2. Maybe more info could help solve your problem?

You sure your boss doesn't read forums? Nice machine. As much as I love Samsung monitors, I can't say that I've had much luck with their HDD's. Seagate may be "noisier", but at least they keep working

Political discussion moved to separate thread. Let me know if a different thread title for that one is better. Enough thread hijacking for today
