I decided after a long hiatus to install NWN and both expansions on my new PC so that I could enjoy some of the newer community mods. The following are my system specs: XP w/SP2 Athlon 64 3200+ cpu 2 gigs of DDR 3200 RAM M-Audio Revolution 5.1 sound card X800 GTO 256 meg video card View Sonic...

Dungeon Siege II. Considerably better than the first one, the graphics are very well done, and I like their system for how different it is from the standard D&D fare, i.e., experience, spells, armor combinations, weapons, monsters, etc.. Still it is hack & slash, but I got more than my money's...

October, 1979. There is something about new experiences that are forever etched on one's mind because I can still remember rolling up my very first character and the memories from my first game are as clear as a bell. My first DM who introduced myself and a slew of others played the game...

I can't even beging to add up the money I spent over the years on books published by Jim Baen. Anyone know how old he is?

The last thing I lost was a TV, but the weird thing was the VCR, DVD Player and the Stereo System which are all tied to the same power surge protector weren't even touched. Anyway I, too, thought it was memory but... 1. EPoX directed me to clear the CMOS and load optimized default settings. I...

I contacted EPoX and they directed me to clear the CMOS which I did according to their instructions. I then loaded the Optimized default settings as per their directions and after it hung for awhile at the Logo it did boot into Windows. So I decided to restart in order to retest and it decided...

Rodrigo, I contacted EPoX and I gave them all the information I posted here -- one thing I love about their tech support is that usually they reply within 24 hours -- and they directed me to clear my CMOS. So I will try that. Your description of non-system disk error is probably the correct...

Two nights ago we had severe lightning storms. I had already lost one major electronic item in the house from the last one and so I decided to unplug the surge protector from the socket. Yes, I had completely shut down my machine first. Since the storms were to last all night into the day it...

There's a SciFi series coming out on the Dresden series?!? Any place to get the details? Man, I hope they get the characters, plots, and atmosphere right.

I've read all of Cook's Garrett series and all of Butcher's Dresden series (except the most recent one) and I enjoy them both. Of the two I find Cook's work much closer to film noir in style, while Butcher is modern detective in style. Garrett is in a total fantasy world, particularly the city...

Dave, what do you mean it "works passably well"? Are you indicating that it isn't exactly the best thing to have loaded on your PC? What do you recommend? I'll buy a good software anti-virus program if I have to. That must have been one melt down! Thanks, CrusaderX, I'll stay away from the...

I need to install an anti-virus product on my new rig. I was wondering what do you people run? I have Norton on my old rig but there are better products like NOD32 and AVG (though their firewall isn't anything to cheer about) and they don't take up nearly the memory usage as Norton. Anyone...

To keep this short I had to reformat my harddrive due to my firewall failing. I was flooded with adware and malware galore in about 10 seconds. I still can't get rid of E2Give. Suffice to say I got a Linksys router to go along with my Norton Anti-virus, Webroot Spy Sweeper, and ZoneAlarm 5.0...

Well since it is unlimited funds and it seems geared towards wish fulfillment this is what I would do... 1. Purchase the rights to The Scarred Lands Campaign, set it at 3.5 along with ALL the books and supplements that support it. Then I'd have some really cool modules made. I'd also make...

I have seen PKilling in three seperate groups and not one ever turned out "okay." In fact, the fallout eventually hurt each and every setting. Of the 3, one blew up right then and there. As for the other 2 there was more of a slow simmer where as there was real tension between players in AND...

My brother-in-law Bill is pretty close to what you describe. You can paint a picture for him on what his PC sees, experiences, hears and he will use his favorite 4 worded question (and mean it!), "I don't get it?" Quickly followed up by, "Now tell me this again." You usually have to explain...

I (Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling) have run several group therapy sessions over the past two years using the book Boundaries by Cloud and Townsend. Inevitably every person who finished th class would say, "If I had known these truths when I was younger I would have saved myself much...

I loved the original and the play between Darrin McGavin and Simon Oakland's characters was great. I'll give it a shot if and when it comes on.

Okay, call me a psycho, bit I love the heat and humidity. I love summer. I like working in it, playing in it, riding my bike in it. I can fish the streams of Pennsylvania from morning through evening regardless of the temperature and humidity. In fact, I plan on fishing tomorrow and its...
