I was just watching a friend of mine play Eternal Darkness on her GameCube. The graphics were nice but, the detail just wasn't there, it can't hang with RtCW & my GeForce4. I agree with you about the config problems, but I've yet to see a console/game combo that can beat a fast PC with a good video card. Even on HDTV (a friend of mine has a PlayStation2, an HDTV & is using s-video from one to the other.) it still can't beat my PC in graphic quality.
Exactly, I don't see them putting a game like BG2 or Arcanum on a console anytime soon. Even if they did, the console versions would lose a major part of what adds to their replayability. You can't Mod a console game.
Hell, I just got an Athlon 700Mhz, a Cooler Fan & a Motherboard for less than $70 shipped. Add 256Mb RAM (like what $35 @ the most?) and I guarrantee the resulting PC will run WinXp & Office XP.
The first time I had Red Bull I was probably 16, and that was 8 years ago. Of course it was at a little hole in the wall Chinese restraunt. Red Bull's been availible for a while, you just had to know where to look.
That's pretty damn smart if you ask me. If he receives a patent on it, I wonder if he'll either: a.) not allow M$ to use his patented ideas at all, or b.) charge M$ (or other DRM fiends) so much money to use it (pay per use), that it becomes useless to use DRM on Pallidium.

Keep reading, the only thing that game shares with Baldur's Gate is the name....
btw that game's been out for the PS2 for a while.
and you still can't mod it.

... more SickWare...
It was a joke, laugh...

I'm one.
Yeah, thank God I can still play Master of Magic on Win2k. I haven't tried DosEMU under linux yet, does anyone know if it works?

You must either never have chicks over or only date the ones that can see the finer points of a properly cooled PC.

...to be a bad guy.
Dr. Doom? nah, not enough vision.
Galacticus, now there is a serious bad guy....

Well, maybe I can Photoshop the faces out. Too bad you posted AC.

I don't think this is what they ment when they said we'd have flying cars in the future.

There was a blurb on CNN having to do with USB storage devices, and increased support from hardware manufacturer for Linux was mentioned.

Thanks a lot dude, I was going to watch that tonight.

That's one of the reasons they aren't in Jacksonville, Fl anymore.
Jaysyn
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt & the pictures. And no you can't see them.
Jaysyn
Yeah, no shit. I've managed to get one game running out of the 10 or so I've tried. And I think it was out circa Win3.11 days.
Jaysyn
p.s. I'm not bitching, it's almost as fun to figure this shit out (Linux) as it is to play the games.
Mandrake Linux 8.1 has a rez switcher in Mandrake Control Center. No I haven't been using Linux very long.
Jaysyn
We're both wrong ;)

I just stopped & resumed @ 9% with netants. It started right where it left off.

Closer? There *are* jaguars in the USA. In Florida & Colorado at least. Hint: a Mountain Lion isn't a lion.

Either way it would be great fun to watch.

Now alcohol will be illegal under the DMCA, due to it now being a circumvention device. That should get the proles attention.

Can you send a file to YM! thru Trillian yet?

The U.S. paid the Taliban $24 million to change thier stance on Opium. I'm betting some of that money went to taking out the WTC.

A Bernoulli drive? I have a functioning one at the office. Granted I already moved all of the data on them to cd-r.
