I think you could waste a LOT of time just arguing over the defining characteristics of an RPG. Then could waste a whole lot more time trying to assess which games met how many of those criteria and when they were published. In the end, you'll still have a thousand different opinions. As for...

Being the first of the next-gen consoles buys you huge latitude in customer tolerance for defects. Me, I only bought my Xbox a year and half ago. It'll definitely be a while before I upgrade. Carl

Out of touch at 31?!? Dude, you've got three more good years before you're kicked out of the coveted 18-34 age demographic! (Sorry, Rel, but 34 is the cutoff; them's the rules.) A huge segment of our pop culture and economy is still depending on you, Reveal. This is NO time to start slacking...

I'm my company's only employee.... The parties are out of control. :lol:

I'm a little terrified to post to this, for fear I'll be the last one. But, yes, I have killed threads. In an effort to redeem myself, I'd like to give everybody here another chance to contribute to any of the following: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=146159...

This story is a somewhat sad reflection on the state we've come to since the New York Sun first tackled this issue. Carl

Yeah, Krieg. Good to see you.

If you go to the right nail salon, you won't need the strippers. Carl

Oooh, the makings of a whole spa day! Carl

I don't particularly care how the book is organized, but I do very much like having some kind of introductory chapter that summarizes both the setting and the rules. Getting that overview makes it much easier to wade into either of the following sections and have a general understanding of the...

Video ipod. We're going to Tahiti in January, and my wife HATES flying. She said the only way she'd survive the 10-hour flight from L.A. is if she could spend the whole time watching Gilmore Girls on a video ipod... Who am I to argue? Carl

Stacy's Pita Chips. A local company that started from a cart in Boston. Just got sold to Frito-Lay; hope they don't screw it up! Brownies and chocolate chip cookies at the cafe down the street. Carl

OK, I've started using it and have discovered something interesting on the ad front: If I use the POP feature, and view the mail in Thunderbird, I don't get any ads -- just the text email. Carl

Many of my favorites have been listed. Additionally: All Quiet on the Western Front The 1930 original, not the TV remake. Run Silent, Run Deep Cold Mountain I only just recently saw this for the first time, and was very surprised; it's one of the best American Civil War movies I've seen...

It's funny you say that. In a separate thread, I've been seeking out the games that folks consider truly deep in terms of being mentally challenging, complex, and immersive. So far, nearly everything mentioned is more than five years old: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=159642 Carl

Ranes, both of those are available online on a site I consider to be a highly scrupulous database and archive of old games. (She provides uploads only to those games whose owners don't object, and which are otherwise unavailable; links to vendors are provided for games still for sale.) But at...

Hmmm... So is an AMD board with an ATI chipset similarly better suited to running with an ATI card? Carl

:lol: :lol: :lol: EXACTLY!! Thank you!

Great site. Thanks! At the moment, I'm most concerned with being able to play EVE-Online and Virtual Skipper III (an online sailboat racing game), but I'll also be excited about playing Neverwinter Nights at something besides the absolute lowest possible graphic level -- which is where I'm at...

Bing and David Drummer Boy Video A little holiday memory lane: http://www.videocodezone.com/videos/d/david_bowie/little_drummer_boy.html From the 1930s to 1970s, every year, first on radio then TV, Bing Crosby did a Christmas special. Watching it was a serious tradition in my household. In...
