LH: Did you have to "do" anything to get Grim to run in 2000? I've been struggling to get my version working, although it worked fine in 98. Some have suggested that it doesn't like my nVIDIA TNT2, but maybe there's another answer?...  [Read More]

I think that damn anthology contains all the comics, and I probably tried to buy it exactly a week after it went out of print. It's on my 'to look for' list whenever I enter a bookstore, although I know that when I finally do encouter it I'll have no...  [Read More]

Well, I guess you could try the "load up a lot of things in the background" approach, but that's a little iffy. As for save games, well, I would gladly donate mine, if I could actually get Grim running in 2000....  [Read More]

It's definitely legal to rip songs from the CD - You purchased the CD, and that means you own it and any information that happens to be on there is yours. As long as you don't distribut the CD, then you can still go to heaven. Besides, sites on the...  [Read More]

If it's anything like Conker's Bad Fur Day, which I predict it will be, then I'll be happy. Hopefully it'll have a nice (18) sticker on the front of it, and not be cutened up for the TV audience. I want to see puppies drowning and the homeless being...  [Read More]
