Yes. Contact SecuROM and see if they will send you a fixed .exe that is compatible with newer systems. If they refuses... Well, the mods do not like us talking about the other option... That sums it up pretty well >_ Securoms website has a support page with instructions on how to contact and how to get the info (diagnosis) they might need.

Nothing like realising that your planned night of sleep will at best be a two hour nap, before having to get up and go to work again

Hey, which market segment did you think it was aimed at? As for being sad, sad souls, those days ended with the old Black Isle games. Those were the culmination of the 8 and 16 bit gaming culture where I could play the same game for weeks on end. Doomdarks Revenge takes the prize with two months of gaming

Moved to gaming section. I keep thinking it is something left behind by a spam bot when spotting the thread title in Way off Topic

What the hell does that mean, when terrorists intentionally kill civilians it's more OK than if a democratic state does it? I think he meant it the other way around. A democratic state (usually) claims to be better than a terrorist organisation, therefore they are expected to put more effort into not behaving as one.

No strategy gaming enthusiast should be without "War in Russia". Available from Strategy First (the publisher) website for download. Free, no strings attached besides being a dos game.

The university built this big setup which they are expanding so they can test it's practicality on larger and larger distances. Experiments with faster than light communication and teleportation across the Danube: http://www.univie.ac.at/qfp/publications3/...les/2006-10.pdf They hope to be able to get their own satellite in space one day for testing their communication technology

I can't help you with the first question (you may have to ask on the TG forums), but to the second question: Some "tester" leaked the unfinished mod so it ended up on the internet and the third question: I don't *think* it changes anything, since they are not modifying and of the game engine code, only the assets. If your game already works, it is likely to continue working on Vista and vice versa. Oh, and welcome

It does indeed seem bogus. The university of Vienna has been experimenting with Entangled Photons for years now, not only doing faster than light communication, but also some rather obscure practical applications. How about Quantum Encryption?

I consider myself lucky, no failed investments in 2008. The Witcher EE, Stalker Clear Sky, Tombraider Underworld, X3, Painkiller Overdose and Trackmania were all fun. Even Warhammer Online was moderately fun the two months I played it.

"Improvement by reduction"... We get the point I think the level of detail put into a game matters more to me than the number of miles your character has to walk to get from the start to the end of the story.

It would indeed. I am too chicken to try and merge the posts, having some mixed experiences with that in the past, so I'll just point people to the right thread: Star Wars MMO (The Old Republic) discussion

Cry Baby Harmless fun, decent music. Doesn't require any cerebral activity.

I seem to remember that there is exactly one response that you shouldn't chose (something about coming along peacefully or so)? Described in the very first part of the stickied FAQ

Wow, haven't seen so much awesomness since my C64 days Unfortunately, I don't have a Nintendo DS

I should hang a big "No Smoking" sign here Continued in the next thread

STart of old thread End of old thread Nothing much. My brain still doesn't understand that I have a months vacation

Would you believe I that, I have never in my life sent an SMS? Never could find out how to disable the "helpful" feature that replaces my letters with complete words. I tried twice, gave up in disgust, called people instead

Splitting my time a bit between Tombraider: Underworld and X3: Terran Conflict. After this weekend, there won't be any gaming for me for about a month though

There still seems to be stuff to be said about Fallout 3 judging by the enthusiasm towards the end of the previous thread... plus with expansions looming threateningly in the horizon Start of old thread End of old thread Edit: No, I haven't played the game. Don't plan to either

That is more likely to be Walsinghams or Steves desk, them being brits and mods and all. Anyway, I am closing this since the magical (arbitrary) post number 500 has been reached and continue in a new thread. Continued here

Meh, no Lords of Midnight review, only the sequel, Doomdarks Revenge. Give it to the animals.

Not really "autocompletion", but I do appreciate the IntelliSense in Visual Studio. Isn't that more an autoformatting thing rather than an autocompletion? I do remember swearing out loudly when exporting 50000 rows to Excel just to discover that my large integers have been turned into scientific notation
