This Carnival is over... Next one is here

Start of old thread End of old thread Listening to Fleetwood Mac - The Chain

Recreational Vehicle. It's basically like a bus/mini house. Has a kitchen, beds, bathroom all inside of a tour bus sized vehicle. Or they have ones that fit on the back of a truck. Ah, thanks Slug. Never heard the term before

Whats a RV?

Operating system? Hardware specs? I think we need a little more info Problems like these could be related to the above. Sometimes it helps disabling various hardware acceleration settings, like Audio etc.

having finally gotten that game, I should play it some day. Is there anything like mods or mandatory things to add to it? I have the official patch 1.27 downloaded, but that is about it.

Try living in Wellington for a while... Shryke and Tigranes could probablt sleep through an earthquake without noticing it It gets hit by an average of 4 earthquakes per day

I am going to say, nice visuals, although a bit hard to read. Something appears slightly broken towards the top frame and You might want to consider disabling Anonymous comments to your entries. Off to a good start

what if it were a boss battle fight with sleestaks and gnomes? maybe a gnome-sleestak ubg? HA! Good Fun! I had to look up 'sleestak' (google is your friend) A distant relative of Yuan-ti allright. Not a fan of lizard men, but gnomes? I'll happily buy and use a scroll of gnomicide... Little pests. Why couldn't that suit of evil armour in BG2 be made out of Jan Jansens skin? Could it just have been the gnomes from the Dragonlance setting, then they would at least have provided some comic relief. Is that setting even alive anymore, or did it go the way of Planescape? I suppose it is in the nature of single player crpgs, that they have to "end" somehow. Otherwise, they might be perceived as pointless. Meh, make the goal the accumulation of wealth. Get the 500.000 gc needed to bribe the local magistrate and let you get a monopoly on the potatoe import. End of game and everybody lived happily ever after. Project cancelled due to lack of publisher interest, I know It (boss battles, whether in between or at the end) just feels so contrived somehow.

I thought we just learnt that it will have a sucky end boss battle?!? But yeah, looks like that discussion has come full circle. Time to change the subject, please gentlemen? ... Besides, I hate the very concept of "boss fights".

Continued here Time for this thread to get some sleep

Procrastinating on a lazy Sunday Morning. Plain and simple Start of old thread End of old thread In what? Life - keeping pace - energy level - all of those things that indicate that the mind and the body are diverging in respect to what one THINKS one can do and what one CAN do! I can just sort of imagine the Old Green lying in a heap on his hoard, the hatchlings running circles around him...

Congratulations man, way to go And don't forget, even if you didn't pursue the job at Funcom any further, it is still part of the overall learning experience. '@\NightandtheShape/@' gained 50xp...

Happy Birthday (a bit late, but what the heck) May there be many more where they came from

Alright, when I'm forced to read it, I'll try pretending its Gundam . I particularly liked the scene where Hamlet kills Polonius. "How now! dead, fora ducat! Dead!" As Hamlet let's rip a whole fusillade of medium rockets, the bang and clink of discarded rounds. The comedic remark from Polonius before the rockets streak home: "Oh! I am slain!" All those in favour of a Walsingham re-write of Hamlet raise their hands. *Raises hand*

Exactly. I sometimes wonder if I am the only one who loved Bruce Willis' character in The Fifth Element?

You don't need a blog for that

Taking turns playing a bit of Planescape Torment, Europa Universalis III and the X2 Demo... The last one suffers a bit because my joystick seems to "stutter" on the speed throttle. Maybe it is time to get a new one... it wasn't even 8 years old

Syndicate Wars Come to think of it, technically Baldurs Gate was a RTS game.

Some of the PSUs are listed as having no 8 pin connectors. How are they supposed to power HDDs ? PCI connectors, not HDD connectors. Powerhungry Gfx cards (i.e.) requires a direct feed from the powersupply, so they get the cables with the PCI-e connectors. For drives, you would have SATA (can't remember their exact name) power connectors.

July 2006. His wife finished the second half of his last book (The Fall of Kings) in 2007

David & Stella Gemmel: The Fall of Kings. Excellent conclusion to his "Troy" series. Sadly he (David) died before finishing this last book. Excellent "alternate hostory" trilogy about the events leading up and destruction of Troy.

I'm drooling already! Freudian slip? I am sure that thousands of Morrowind fans had "expected an Oblivion game would naturally be an RPG" too, much to their disappointment. We could solicit the opinion of the NMA crowd on the subject too A bit of joking aside, not really expecting a typical rpg from this one though, more like an action game with some "depth" (not sure how to explain it otherwise) to it. Didn't one of the founding fathers of Obsidian once say something to the effect of wanting to do an FPS game years ago. Some interview about whether they would do traditional crpgs forever.

Some people are just plain weird. Why would anyone break into a church?... Taking a few days off, just relaxing. If I push myself a bit, I might go get a hair cut.

The closest reference I could find was this: http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=13674 Looks like you need "Tri-channel" (whatever *that* is) DDR3 ram and a new motherboard to run Nehalem (the pin layout of the cpu is different to current LGA775 sockets)
