*honest bump* sorry about the almost month-long delay (personal life + internet life <> bliss). i've got the RP started, and its ready to go, though. just a note, the first post is going to be more of a set-up post where you can help set up s...  [Read More]

@ Carsew - yeah, that's fine. maybe off of an enemy corpse or something. i can imagine that it wouldn't be in very good condition, though. ;) @ everybody - sorry about getting this started late. i've run into some personal things (namely work and sc...  [Read More]

i actually have a lot of influences for the story ranging from 28 Days Later to I Am Legend and even a bit of Nightwatch and Underworld. the main difference stems from the inclusion of mind-altering drugs and the effects of withdrawal on the mind ins...  [Read More]

two things: first, your characters (being humans), aren't going to have that kind of equipment available (especially a .98 caliber sniper rifle :eyeraise: ). i should've made this more clear earlier, but any human character has to come from the huma...  [Read More]

i like Thanksgiving, but i'm not one for some of the traditional foods like Turkey. i do like cranberry sauce, the stuffing (especially my mom's), and pumkin pie, but everything else, i'm just not a fan of. this year, we're doing a ham roast with sq...  [Read More]

well, i doubt you're processor would differ much in performance from mine even if its the 65nm core (i have a 4600X2 90nm Windsor). with that in mind, the only game i can't run at maximum settings is Crysis. everything else runs great (30 fps average...  [Read More]

its not too bad. a little force lightning seems to do a pretty decent job, as does grip if you have it maxed since you can grab more than one TIE at a time. this wouldn't be too bad if they spaced out the waves of TIE's a bit more so as to give you m...  [Read More]

well, for me, it all comes down more to the games than the consoles. the most revolutionary games all seem to start with the sixth generation of consoles. the fifth generation was more about expanding the idea of a 3D environment, and thus the gamepa...  [Read More]

yes, Vista x64 has a command line. as for DOS games, if it doesn't run normally, you'll have to try the compatibility mode for Windows 95 or Windows 98. to enable, find the .exe file, right click, and select properties from the list. click on the &q...  [Read More]

its always a matter of how much you'll be willing to spend. its possible that you could be able to pick up a Core2 for your current system, but i don't think you'll find any available (and determining compatibility could be a nightmare as well). of c...  [Read More]

i'm guessing that you have a Core 2, right?? if you don't have it overclocked, these will do just fine: Thermaltake CL-P0378 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106106) - $22.99 @ Newegg Cooler Master Dream 4 (http://www.newegg...  [Read More]

all this comparisons to Oblivion, i think, is just utter nonsense. IMHO, this game is its own game pure and simple. yes, you can tell its from the same developer, but i really don't see the point in sweating out little details like "the lighting...  [Read More]
