C-64 games are still pretty good compared to the mess of badly designed modern games :) However it is the most modern game that fits your request. Unfortunately Alien vs. Predator is better at the arcades AND it is really a glorified beat 'em up as opposed to representing the feel of...

Yeah its called Aliens ... I only remember it on the C-64 but I'm sure you can find an emulator/rom for it. D

@ azhrei_fje: okay so your problems are ones of not knowing how to do something in Mail as opposed to it really being not able to do what you need. I can tell you how to solve most of that stuff almost immediately ... however it is clear from your post that you like Linux and are so used to it...

Now that you supplied a little extra information ... I wouldn't be testing the new PC with the new cable ... just in case it is the cable. There is another option and that is to test the old DVR machine with the new cable. If the old machine goes "pop" then its the cable and you are so lucky you...

Just blame your boyfriend ... it is all his fault :) As to why is his machine still working and yours not? Just dumb luck for you. The third prong is what I was talking about on the power cables. That is the earthing prong. And the fact you used a surge protector discounts the cable being at...

Background: I'm a Windows developer, all my money is made teaching/programming in a Windows environment. Thus I should, in theory, be happy with Windows. Reality: every machine I use at home is a Mac. Windows is craptacular! Why? Because I can run everything I want on the Mac (windows and mac...

Unfortunately from my experience with hardware, forcing any of it is a bad thing. You should never have to force memory into its slots, no matter what kind of machine you are using. I've never had to and I've changed a lot of memory in my time (used to work tech support for Parliament House here...

Actually I didn't like the Fire Mages much, too much hassle IMHO. I stuck with good bow skill followed by good combat skill which you can learn from the Old Camp without a problem. Hunting is a good skill to be able to procure supplies to use for trade. The game has a zero-sum trading system...

Yes I own/have played the games. You don't really choose Warrior/Ranger/Wizard per se. It all depends on which faction you join, the equipment and armour you choose etc. You can also become a Paladin type character BTW. So the answer is yes, you can have all the abilities you want ... as long...

I own a 1.6 Ghz Laptop with an AMD Turion chip (essentially behaves as a Dual Core under Windows XP). It has 2GB of memory and a separate NVidia graphics chipset. The laptop is definitely not a gaming machine, however I've successfully played The Witcher at Medium Resolution (except in Act 3...

Regarding Craft(Alchemy) pretty much what I thought as well. Okay ... so its one of those editing errors perhaps. Maybe they originally wanted spellcasters to make the items but found that playtesters didn't care much for it. As to the Affiliations v. Organisations. Anyone have an idea on that...

Q1. I was just reading the Craft skill to check the Craft(Alchemy) specifics. It states in the little table that you need to be a spellcaster to create Alchemical items (Alchemist's Fire, Sunrod, etc). Nowhere are the "components" of such items listed, but I would assume that spells are...

Greetings, what are the similarities/differences to the Dungeoneer game which is card based as well? Linkage: http://www.atlas-games.com/dungeoneer/ TIA D

A while back I made a post on these boards regarding how I envisioned the RPG Book market to advance - e-reader style with patches upgrading your PDFs automatically etc. Looks like Kindle is a step in the right direction for that vision of mine ... right who stole it! :) D

You know the programming "skills" get better ... any email and any password and look at the address bar. If you change one thing in the address bar it auto-validates you. That's all I'm saying on the matter. D

This test doesn't do multi-class does it?

@Jeysie. (and everyone really) I think the point being raised here is not how you personally see the situation but rather how most of society will. When I was a kid around 10 (going on 25 years ago now) I used to be very imaginative (not that I'm not now) and create stories and characters and...

Actually I did see a "broken" build of a Rainbow Servant Warmage that was crazy somewhere. However the Warmage does killing better than a normal Wizard. With the Warmage's Edge class ability that little bit of extra damage (especially with the feat to increase it) is valuable. However utility...

Arrgh!! Mark!! Unfortunately it isn't the student you have to worry about. My wife is also a teacher (primary education) and she tapped a student on the shoulder to inform him that he should move out of the way of the other children playing soccer on the sports field since he was in danger of...

Dire Bare if you read my post you will note that Australia is pretty much the same as America. Although we may not be as lawsuit happy as the States, we do have very harsh treatment for teachers. I agree with what you stated and my post outlines the best case scenario. D
