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)

DDR3 isn't that widely available yet, so if that is what it is, you might check the link below. DDR3 is the most important criteria when narrowing down your search on edbpriser really (because you can't plug a DDR2 ram into a DDR3 socket). The PC10800 etc. notation is more a legacy thing, as it is the FSB speed multiplied by a factor 8 (rounded to nearest "nice" number). It probably made sense back when PC3200 was all the rage. Now the numbers are so big it's silly and impossible to remember. A small brand comparison guide: http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/1152/ddr...l_kingston_ocz/ I miss the days when edbpriser was still wheeler.dk Good hunting

Ooohh... Shiny! That wasn't how I imagined the overland map, but who cares, this does the job just as well, if not better.

Maybe I should go looking for new recruits for the ZCP?... Comrade Boris woule be proud

They might as well give it up, people will keep mentally substituting the missing 'n'. Maybe it is his sekrat identity name? His real name is Thornton and his undercover name is Thorton which he uses when he doesn't want to be recognised?

I hope that isn't the case I still remember my sense of outrage back then, when I found out what all the floating voices and unsolvable quests were about. First time I ever wished the pox on a publisher Ah well, I mostly got it for Fallout Tactics.

Grabbed two games in the bargain bin at EB Games today, Fallout Collection and Trackmania. I'll finally be able to give Fallout Tactics a try Besides, it never hurts to have more cd's with Fallout 1 and 2 on them. I wonder if it is the crippled (EU) version or the full version of F2? As for Trackmania, I really miss the good old Racing Destruction Set from Electronic Arts. Not exactly the same game, but it did look sufficiently wacky on the cover. At 9.95$ (OZ), how bad can it be?

Do what you think is best for your long term interests. Thats how I ended up on the other side of the world. I had job and was bored, so I looked abroad. Went to London and did a couple of job interviews and ended up with two job offers on hand. Never made a secret of it, that I was entertaining other offers. The night before accepting one of the offers, I got headhunted to New Zealand. That is, I got job a interview set up the same night (2:30am my time) and accepted that offer instead, dropping both of the first two offers. 5 weeks later I landed in Auckland with my 3 sportsbags Some people prefer to keep it low profile, I always preferred honesty, telling people why I need time to consider all options.

Ahah... thats how you get a new boss

Giants and Fallout Tactics... I am interested! >_

I had a bit of fun with my own, recently purchased motherboard. Plugged in the cpu, ram etc. and powered it up. Bios decided that it didn't like any contemporary cpus (core 2 and newer) and refused to boot afterwards. Needed a "hard reset" of the bios and a re-flashing from a usb stick with a bios downloaded on my old computer... It is nicer when it works out of the box.

It's a version tag? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepping_%28version_numbers%29 I suspect it is mostly important for geeks and overclockers

For those interested in continued Fallout 3 discussions I'll settle for listening in on the discussion. Not too excited about it

Start of old thread End of old thread Looks like the previous thread turned into a general Fallout 3 discussion

Lets put it this way, my Vista 64bt didn't complain when I initially tried it out with a borrowed E8200

Skulltrail mobo? Sure, I can believe that. There is indeed one on the market, even if it is $650. 8GB of Corsair? Again I can believe that. Corsair does make 2GB FB-DIMMs so you have enough room for those. Only $320 for that. Here is where you screw up... 3.3Ghz quad core? Doesn't exist. Perhaps you mean 3.2Ghz? That would be the QX9775 which currently retails for $1500. Oh but wait, you have skulltrail? That's a dual socket system! You'll need to buy two of those $1500 processors. Overclocking it to 4GHz if you actually had such a system is well within reach. As for Tri-Sli? Not possible. The only skulltrail mobo out there doesn't support tri-sli. Something is fishy
