    xp feeze

    Okay, MwlGui.exe is the McAfee Wireless Home Network Security User Interface. It looks like it's failing because it's looking for a component that was installed with PaintShopPro, but is no longer on your system. (I *think*) I'd try uninstalling McAfee (a reinstall of it would probably fix...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    The one thing that really bugs me about the game is the OOC channel. Does the Lord of the Rings brand draw obnoxious morons or something? This isn't Barrens chat. This is a whole new level of stupidity. Every time I log on there's either some guy having a political argument, or some guy...

    How to increase traffic to website

    You have to be a little careful with this. Some search engines do not appreciate being fooled, and they'll stick you in a very nasty little spot reserved at the end of all the other search results if you are caught employing some of these techniques...

    Somebody Explain Kill Bill, please...

    Eh... personal taste. I found the movie spectacular. By far my favorite Tarantino movie (and I like a lot of them). Obviously, I didn't find it boring. The movie was a big tongue-in-cheek love of old movies of the past. Many of QT's movies are. But that's not what made the movie good...

    Does an elf poop in the woods?

    Actually, elves tend the trees which will become eventual city locations to grow such that they naturally include sewer lines and toilets. The only real problem occurs when animals start to take up residence in these lines, and then the elves must carefully convince them to go elsewhere for a...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I haven't run into any real technical problems on my side. And I'm running the sucker in Vista. But then again, reading that thread reminds me why I don't play betas. It's a beta. Of course it has technical problems... I certainly expected the first non-beta to have problems, and it hasn't...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I'm surprised I'm the first to post this thread... But I gotta spread the love for this game. It kind of came out of nowhere for me, but right now it's a blast to play. They've pretty much taken a *lot* from the WoW model, added smart instancing over it to create a rather significant plot...

    Interview with Scott Rouse, Chris Perkins & Bill Slavicsek

    If there's one thing I can get through to Wizard's, it would be this... DRM will not help you, but it *will* hurt you. I know that sounds counter-intuitive, but consider the following. Fact 1: The DI will not be successful unless the content can be printed. DMs absolutely need the ability...

    Interview with Scott Rouse, Chris Perkins & Bill Slavicsek

    Hmmm. I'm not actually finding the interview to be very revealing... At least none of the answers I really was interested in were answered directly. Two points of interest: (1) The DRAGON and DUNGEON names will probably be used in the Digital Initiative somehow. (2) This quote. This is a...

    Urgent!

    Give each team a choice of a riding griffon or a rhinoceros and call it a day.

    Grindhouse

    I liked both movies, but my wife and I refer to Deathproof as "The Ya-ya Sisterhood", directed by Quentin Tarantino. I tried to get my wife to go see a really violent movie for my birthday, but I got tricked into watching a chick-flick! Dang it! :)

    When should we expect answers?

    "Never ascribe to malice that which can just as easily be ascribed to incompetence." Corollary: "Never ascribe to benevolence that which can just as easily be ascribed to incompetence." I keep seeing this theory from various people. There's just one problem with it. There are plenty of ways...

    Pathfinder 1E Showing Paizo Support [merged with 'Thanks Paizo' thread]

    I went and got the combat pad. I'm certainly in for the Pathfinder stuff, but I never subscribe to anything (I love paying full prices! Or something). The plush goblin wouldn't do alot for me, since I already have it. It just happens to look like Stitch also.

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo no longer publishing Dungeon and Dragon

    I don't think this genie can be put back in the bottle. Paizo has a way forward that is looking pretty good in comparison to WotCs. Even if Wizards came crawling back to them and begged them to take back the Dragon and Dungeon brand... Is that really what would be in Paizo's best interest? I...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder's Goblins

    Paizo cranks out their blog for Pathfinder right after the announcement. Wizards tells us that we'll really enjoy what they have coming... But doesn't share squat. Well played, Paizo. Now I look forward to Pathfinder even more, and I'll be on the edge of my seat for new blog updates.

    WotC Replies: Statements by WotC employees regarding Dragon/Dungeon going online

    Sorry, but that's not an fair summation at all. Dragon and Dungeon are finished. They will not be moving to an online format. The name will not be used, and the content will not be the same. A magazine that I've read off and on since the 80s (most of my life) is finishing. Why shouldn't...

    How do you make money?

    Sometimes you can save a lot of money by just calling the services you buy. We recently got an HD tv, and so we wanted to get HD cable to go along with it. But then we were already paying $140/month or so for our cable and internet. We also had TiVo on top of that for another $15/month. Too...

    WotC Replies: Statements by WotC employees regarding Dragon/Dungeon going online

    I find the Perkins quote especially ironic... ... But we sure can try, huh! The product line was so good that we had to kill it! And then cast Reincarnation. And hope we don't get a badger or duck. (Edit -- oops... Reincarnation not Raise Dead. My bad.)

    WotC Replies: Statements by WotC employees regarding Dragon/Dungeon going online

    Well, you know. If I had to pick between Dragon/Dungeon and my best friend. I'd keep my best friend. But if I had to pick between them and say... Bob down the hall. Well, Bob down the hall. I wouldn't even notice if he were gone.
