    One Remote to Rule Them All

    I'd just like to share this: The Logitech Harmony 670 is awesome (actually, the whole Harmony series). It's the first remote I've found at a reasonable price (CDN$120) that could tame all my stuff. You load the software on your PC, you select the models of your stuff, it asks you a few...

    Encounter Level and Challenge Rating

    IOC we have 8 players, and I'm the assistant DM. I run the fights, since I was the Rule Lawyer as a player. The DM is more of the storytelling type, so it works out very well. As far as CRs go, we usually play it by ear, but we up the CRs by 1 either through numbers or advancement. Sometimes we...

    Hellgate London

    Look for the quote by Tennyson. I visited the British Museum this summer, and the rendering in game blew me away. Of course, it's not to scale, but the textures and atmosphere was very reminiscent. Other than that, there is some repetition in the "blocks" used for random generation of areas...

    Hellgate London

    I believe they are separate accounts. I had to register on both sides. I'm sure you can't transfer your character between servers, you'd have to start anew.

    Hellgate London

    My character is originally named Andargor :D I'm in Canada too, and you probably are on the US server. I had to create an EU account on www.eu.hellgate.com, and I have to check the "show all" box in the server selection screen to see the EU one (Sydonai). One of my EU friends (an EN Worlder...

    Hellgate London

    I've been playing for a while, and it's great brainless fun for when you feel like jumping into action. Level 15 Engineer on Sydonai (EU, my gaming friends are there) I had found Diablo a wee bit mind-numbing, but in Hellgate there are a lot more ways to customize your gear with mods...

    [October] What are you playing?

    Playing NWN 2: MotB right now, not bad. They continue to use the KotOR-style dialogues, which is a good thing. You have a lot of RP options. Although the alignment shift thing is hard to predict (it goes opposite from what you want sometimes!). But that can easily be edited out via nwn2editor.

    Orange Box

    I've just finished Portal, and I have to agree. It is pure genius.

    PORTAL IS FREAKING AWESOME!

    Orange Box

    I have an old P4 2.8 with a BFG 7800 GS OC (the best AGP, IIRC), and I run Ep2 in 1600x1200 with everything on. You should be OK. EDIT: Get that BFG 7800 GS OC, it's really cheap nowadays.

    [October] What are you playing?

    Got my hands on the Orange Box on Friday. Second store I checked had one, others were all sold out. So HL2: EP 2, TF2. I haven't tried Portal yet.

    [October] What are you playing?

    Eve Online, as usual. Entropia Universe. Stay away from this game, it will suck your money away. Latest update is a graphic engine upgrade, and some mechanics changes which also increase the company's money-grubbing. Ep 2 is out? Gotta try it. I've always been intrigued by Guild Wars. What's...

    No problemo, we'll keep 'em running in your honor. :D

    [September] What are you playing?

    Welverin, where art thou? Anyway, I've gotten back to Eve Online after a few months break. I've take over the ENWORLD channel ownership, if you want to drop in and say hi. I dabble in Entropia Universe. It's the most expensive game ever, since it's basically sci-fi gambling. Have a good wallet...

    Computer Problem Fixed! Thanks!

    The CMOS battery was also my first thought. If your motherboard was somehow cracked (aged plastic, temperature change, moving, etc.) then it could be something subtle like that. The crack could be microscopic, and only affect a couple of leads. If so, you are stuck with it until you change your...

    PCGen or Etools characters to share

    Oh my, those are from a very old version of PCGen. I doubt they would still work now...

    A Call to Arms for 3rd party RPG aide developers

    Playing on our feelings, are ya? ;) I'm sure the commercial-oriented products will have well progressed in that time. The amateur crowd, like me, will probably wait until the core books are all out. Then we will examine what DI does and does not well, and what available data in electronic...
