I assume you are talking about the Ogre in the Tower.
Actually, now that you mention it, that fight was a bit strange. I did try to kite it, but my melee's just ran somewhat behind him at all times and stopped when they got close. Eventually I had to freeze kite him (cone of cold).
However, that's the only fight I can remember acting dodgy. I can kite just fine now (on regular encounters though, maybe it's a boss issue? I'll take notice on next boss fight)
Well, either get the "healer character" (I can tell you where if you'd like), or slap some healing spells on Morrigan.
Personally I skipped the "healing character", since I play a mage myself, with a healing spell. My mage is primarily DPS / CrowdControl because you always seem to fight at least 6 other people.
This frustrated me to no ends with my first character, a warrior, so I restarted with a mage and focused on frost (cone of cold, winters grasp) and crowd control (nightmare, sleep, horror, paralyse etc). Worked a lot better.
A sword and board warrior, a ranged rogue, dog and my mage isn't afraid of anything, if I get the right angle of things.
Keep as many as possible frozen by cone of cold, sleep or otherwise disengaged, and take things down one by one by brute force. Heal where required or quaff some potions, which I make myself.
"In other words, if the customer says "Ten 9mm rounds, please, I need to accidentally kill my business partner" you certainly shouldn't sell him what he asks for, even if he is joking. Considering the venue, you may well be expected to do a citizen's arrest (many gun store clerks are armed.)"
In USA, I'm sure that will get you sued if he was joking. Even calling the police and having the man arrested, could most likely getting you sued for obstructing his day or whatever.
You didn't think of the possibility that they'd sell far more, if they lowered the prices? Most of my friends only buy from Steam doing weekend sales, same as poster above you it seems.
If all digital sales on steam, were lowered by say, 30%, I think you'd see an increased sale. Not only in numbers, but also net gain.
I can't see how they would be able to rate online games. The fact of the matter is, they can only rate the underlying content of the game, not the interactions in the game.
In a lot of games you can manipulate environment, and create scenarios which isn't covered in the rating. For example, make a NPC standing behind a cow and moving in a certain way, making it look like he is fornicating with said cow.
There is no way they can rate against things like this. The above example may be harmless as it's only insinuating something sexual, however, it wasn't intentional in the game. Same thing can be said of online play.
The moment you introduce human interaction, anything can (and will) happen. Spore got entire solar systems inhabited by several "races" of penis' for crying out loud.
That's a pretty innocent rated game.
So alternatively, all online interactions should be rated "M+: Enter at own risk".
tl;dr: They can rate the underlying game, but cannot rate human interaction, and thus can't accurately rate online play, imo.
"In fact, several servers had no queues at all, but many players had set their sights on the more popular ones"
ALL EU servers had long queues. Most of them was so long, you couldn't even get IN the queue. The NA forums reported some server queues, but not on all servers. Quite the opposite on EU forums, where people were going mental on the boards, complaining about massive queues and no response from NCSoft what so ever.
Have you seen the recent line of Action/RPGs on PC? The controls are dumb very far down.
No aiming is required, only a handfull of keys required to make OMGWTFBBQ combos, and so on. This isn't necessarily as bad thing.. on consoles where controls is indeed limited, but on a PC where we have several other options, it's just not ok.
There are several games I just can't stand playing on PC, because of the very bad port of controls. And it's a shame too, most of them was games I enjoyed in the past (prequels).
Well, he haven't tried to hide it, has he? He just didn't post it anywhere for everyone too see.
The opposite to anonymous isn't necessarily posting all your personal information. His address isn't relevant, and as such he doesn't need to tell you.
I didn't read the article, only the summery, so I MAY have missed some points.
She is suing google, because google revealed her identity. Google can only do this with information that is public available in the first, or from within there own services, where you agree to throwing anonymity down the drain.
Welcome to the internet. You got no RIGHT to being anonymous. In fact, some people go through great length to archive pseudo-anonymity.
Get it straight. You are NOT anonymous on the internet. You cannot sue a indexing site for revealing already public information. Not like Google made a banner "Look here! Anonymous' bloggers name. Click!"
You can join a site, pay some money for being anonymous on that community, but don't think you are truly anonymous. They get your data. And stuff DOES get leaked, accidental or otherwise, some times. You can file a civil law suit against that company, for not protecting your paid for service. Though I doubt you'll win, but have fun!
I do find it useful, however, there should be a checkbox for "remember settings for this application" so it doesn't ask me every damn time I start a certain application.
As far as I'm aware, the disk hadn't been taken into use yet.
I read an article a while after, stating that the OEM disk wasn't in use yet, so it wasn't a problem to blacklist em.
However, if it happens when the entire thing goes live, it would be much much worse for Microsoft, as they can't blacklist it without messing up consumers installations.
OMG YOU USE WIN.. wait, that wasn't why I replied....
Anyway, with that out of the way, I kinda agree. Vista was such a failure at release, and for such a long time, that Vista owners should indeed get a free Windows 7. At least a home edition.
But from what I've been told, since the latest service pack to vista, it's actually quite ok, and not that far from Windows 7 in terms of driver compatibility and stability. Not that I know it for sure, haven't touched Vista for more than "install.. omg craponastick...format".

Not on demand.
And it was just an example of use, amongst many.
May I remind you that NetFlix is coming to PSN soon, so that's NetFlix directly on your TV as well.
Does your TV have a browser or YouTube player?
Mine doesn't.
But it's a Sony with XMB and will benefit greatly from this if this can be added by a firmware update to my TV.
I am using the right device for the job.
Using my TV to.. watch media! *gasp*
I can see a lot of uses for this, if you don't have a PS3 for example.
Turn on TV, go to PSN, start up VidZone.. Music videos right there on your TV, with no extra devices.
Just to name one.
I didn't read the article, only the summery but it made me wonder.
Do they verify these numbers somehow?
Anyone can write down a series of a numbers and claim it's a specific sequence.
Not saying these numbers aren't correct, just a thought.
The best communites I have ever been a part of, was in MUD's (small communites compared to todays MMO's) and on "private" UO servers.
Why do you want to put in CF?
That's 4 GPU's, isn't that a bit of a overkill with GPU's of this type?
NOTHING out there will come even close to straining this dual card, so CF would be rather pointless imo.

Obviously you didn't play Baldur's Gate.
Baldur's Gate had same combat system, except there WASN'T tactics.
Had to do everything yourself.
Oh and I haven't had problems with my characters following their target, if it moves.
I noticed this too doing the weekend.
I have a habit of not really quitting what I am playing, just minimizing the game and doing whatever.
Sometimes I have 3-4 games running.
DAO had enormous load times after the first 30 or so hours.
Restarting DAO solved it instantly.

From that specific game, yes.
I doubt they are legally allowed to lock me out from ALL my purchased games, in their service, permanently.
At least in my country anyway.
That's a pretty big "I think".
However, I think you are right.
Cheating isn't against any laws or even the EULA of the game.
So if I cheat in WC3 and get banned, I cannot see how they could legally block access to my other games.

He asked for his name and address.
So, what is YOUR real name and address?
My reply was to that statement.
Well, he haven't tried to hide it, has he?
He just didn't post it anywhere for everyone too see.

Don't forget that's Windows 7 Ultimate.
So it's actually not minimal install, it's almost full.
I do find it useful, however, there should be a checkbox for "remember settings for this application" so it doesn't ask me every damn time I start a certain application.
As far as I'm aware, the disk hadn't been taken into use yet.

My fresh install of Windows 7 RC Ultimate on my old rig, didn't take up 16GB of space. Only about half IIRC.
