    You should have picked up a meat lover instead Not much help there I am afraid. I don't even know the difference between a vegetarian and a vegan. Aren't there any places in Wellington where you can order stuff like that delivered from?
  2. Have you tried the "step by step" guide? http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?showt...mp;#entry760302 It is possible to Kotor2 on 64bit Vista (playing it on a quad core, 8gb ram system), but it can be a bit tricky getting there. The engine wasn't made for anything post Pentium, 32bit. It works mostly fine, except it does crash on the odd occasion when transitioning to and from the bink player. That part really is a killer.
  3. Remember that the game stores your saves under your game characters name? I.e. if I play as 'Gorth', I can only see the saves created for the 'Gorth' character. Creating a few characters with the random name generator can be particular vexing when trying to find a previous save. As for support... we wish. Unfortunately, the MMO in development seems to be all that occupies the publishers mind these days, not support for old games (still dreams of a real 32/64 bit Windows version of Tie Fighter and other old Lucas Arts games)
  4. Or completely mercenary. Whatstheirnewname formerly known as Blackwater is probably still looking for hired killers. I want to be Leon dammit
  5. Thread pruned a bit. If anybody has a problem with not using 'gay' as a perjorative (sp?), feel free to drop me (or one of the other moderators) a PM
  6. Just a friendly reminder for newcomers as well as oldies (as some seems to forget as times goes by)... Discussing review processes and possible shortcomings is fine, name calling of Obsidians colleagues in the game making business isn't: It doesn't really matter if it is Bethesda, Blizzard, Bioware, Square Enix or whoever else people have a beef with. It saves me a lot of work pruning threads and sending individual PM's with all kind of nastiness if people would just stick to constructive discussion That being said, which reviewers get the best fringe benefits?
  7. Oh, it gets better yet later. Like, hey, wait a sec... *censored*. What just hit me? Over the top kind of silly Chapter 4 is actually a very nice break from the pace and setting of Vizima.
  8. You put Anniversary below The Angel of Darkness, the game typically seen as the lowest point in the series? You crazy bastard. That's like when people rank Alien 3 or 4 above the first two. I specifically said "Tombraider game that I've started". I've never played Angel of Darkness, as I stopped buying the games in disgust after Last Revelation and only picked them up again with Legends After uninstalling Anniversary (shortly before reaching Atlantis), I installed the original and a loader tool that some clever geek came up with, which enables it to run on Windows XP in a decent resolution. Played it and completed it and felt all sad that they didn't try to make something like the original game instead (that would run on post 16 bit PC's)
  9. Seems like we are getting WoT (Way off topic here)...
  10. no, No, NO!, Arghh!!!! It's bad, as in really, really bad. An insult to lovers of the original dos based, GLide driver powered Tombraider everywhwere. It was *that* bad. Pretend it doesn't exist, just like Master of Orion 3. There has been ups and downs in the franchise, but it is the only Tombraider game that I've started and uninstalled before finishing. And that despiste liking some parts of Legends and loving most parts of Underworld.
  11. You sure did. I just felt badly because, maybe I did take the "easy" way out by closing it Edit: Still playing The Witcher. Getting close to the end of chapter 3. Finishing all the little lose ends that needs tidying up before moving on. Bought a 300 Orens gold ring for Shani and she wanted a silver ring... go figure.
  12. Right you are. Some things are not meant for longevity. I changed the title of your thread slightly and removed the poll. Maybe somebody out there actually has some good suggestions.
  13. Lets try a different approach. If anybody has suggestions besides the obvious dubious methods?
  14. Maybe it was a tribute to Ian? >_
  15. I remember trying their first venture in an "actiony" warhammer 40k game, the travesty known as "Fire Warrior" >_ I don't know if the guy who bought it managed to trade it in for some decent game.
  16. Gorth replied to Walsingham's topic in Way Off-Topic
    New development program... miners that glow in the dark. No more need for electrical light or other hazards that can cause explosions. If we also could equip them with anaerobic abilities, submarine sailors with gills, fighter pilots with wing membranes etc. >_
  17. I couldn't even beat the end-boss on "normal" settings Great game though. Completely without subtlety* and "in your face" action * Unless you really play the "tarot" game.
  18. Welcome to the club of doers of deeds Aristes. Let the dreamers have their dreams
  19. Fulfilled an old promise to myself and ordered 'The Atlas of True names' (Europe and World edition). I've always loved maps
  20. I did that in my first game. Helped "Have you hugged your favourite tree today" Yaevin (sp?) all the way through. Now I want to try the other side
  21. Still playing The Witcher, helping out the Order of the Flaming Rose wherever I can.
  22. What virumor said. Don't be afraid to use your boosting stuff (extra strength, dexterity etc.), nor the healing you can give yourself underways (you can partially do that while the game is paused mid-combat). I don't know if it is only the version I have that does that, but for some reason T3 is still on the ship. If you find him, he'll help you fight Visas
  23. Inspired by Fionavars and Aristes' recent ventures to Vizima, I decided to play a game of The Witcher again. Just started on solving small side quests in the temple district. Discovered a "Con Man" that I didn't notice in my first play through. Having previously sided with Triss (Triss/Shani) and the Squirrels (Squirrels/Order), I'll do it the other way around this time. I'll try to stay neutral as long as possible and let Geralt give in the bigotry and prejudice against anything with either pointy ears or shorter than 140 centimeter.
  24. Gorth replied to Humodour's topic in Computer and Console
    I tried Warhammer Online for a few months, but gave up on it. I just can't find the time in my schedule to dedicate to it. It was fun seeing the setting come alive and run around and kill stuff in it, but to get your moneys worth, you need to spend the time to become part of the online community and team building. I don't have that time.
  25. I must be a compulsive stuffed toy animal buyer. Grabbed a ****atoo at the airport souvenir store to keep my crocodile, clown fish, snake (with a real working rattle in its tail) and shark company. I think I need a bigger couch
