Huh. To me, it looks better the other way. Oh well.

Just finished GAT:SA and Half-life: Source. I started Jedi Academy. I'll move on to Half-life 2 after that.

I'm glad that was enough info for you. :) Just a thought - when I see the "no" symbol, the slash usually goes from the upper right to the lower left. It probably doesn't matter...

For the love of all that is holy, upgrade to Service Pack 2 as soon as you can. You've probably got 8 different kinds of viruses because SP1 is a gaping doorway to let all kinds of crap into your computer. For your current problem, try booting into safe mode by tapping F8 as the computer...

The players of rogues waste too much time dealing with traps, so I've improved them in that area. Search: Anyone can search for a trap of any DC. Trap Sense: Replace the reflex bonus with a bonus to all saves made against traps. Trapfinding: Rogues replace Trapfinding as follows: A rogue's...

If you're doing pdfs, get a laser. I hate ink jet printers. I'm never going to by one again. I have 4 of them scattered around my house. The ink dries out and clogs the head even before I get a chance to use the whole cartridge. It's more expensive to buy more ink than it is to buy a new...

Get GIMP or any other program that supports layers. I can't really walk you through it, but you'll want to edit the "no" image so that the areas that look white (or black) now are actually transparent. Once that is done, you just paste it on top of the other image and then resize/move it around...

Ooh, neat! This could be really useful. Thanks!

I don't really recommend any more than any other, but watch out for the craptacular software that comes with some of them. One of them, (U3?) a special application launcher, is borderline malware because it's so invasive and buggy. I think it comes on some models of sandisk.

Throw us a bone. Do you want a Fighty type? Spell caster? Do you know what the rest of the party is? Will your DM allow truly broken characters? Because it's really easy to break gestalt...

I'd lean more towards replacing some of the monk abilities with limited spellcasting. Drop Slow Fall, Fast Movement, Abundant Step and similar things, and give them a reduced spell list that involves a lot of physical things. No Flame Strikes, but bull's strength, expeditious retreat, jump, etc...

I picked up a fanless 7600GT at newegg.com for $180 or so. It's working great so far, and the lack of a fan means my computer is even more quiet.

1. Check for patches to City of Heroes. I don't see them on the website, so I assume you have to download them as part of the game. Check and see if there's a manual way to do this or if it happens automatically. 2. Get the latest video card driver from ATI. (Catalyst is what it is called.)...

I just found this: A Gamer's Pair of Dice - a gaming webcomic network. Goblins just joined, that's where I saw it. I haven't had a chance to look at the rest, but the art looks fantastic on all of them.

That's what I'm thinking. There are also a couple of weird burning programs that can make it difficult to read a disk, but I don't think those are involved. Also, in Windows Update, you should probably get the update concerning CD burning. It's something like "XMAT" or "high mat" support - I...

How did you burn the DVD at work? Did you use Roxio, nero, burn from an ISO, drag and drop? What operating system? Do you have a burning program on your home computer? If you do, open it up and see what it says about your drive. It will probably tell you what it can read and write.

I didn't see these yet, and they are some of the best 8-bit Theatre - Final Fantasy based Phil Foglio's Girl Genius - Steampunkish, absolutely awesome. I second: Errant Story, Nodwick/Full Frontal Nerdity, Shlock Mercenary, OOtS, Goblins, Spells and Whistles and Yamara as awesome gaming...

I am working on a DM-only personal wiki right now, for my campaign, but I might post a player's version. I'm just using a tiddlywiki variant, so I can't edit it online. Check out the last PDF on this page: http://www.treasuretables.org/downloads It's a compilation of a couple of articles on...

I haven't seen any specific steps other than the stuff in the MM, but IMO it goes something like this: 1. Prepare phylactery. 2. Prepare magic poison. 3. Drink magic poison. 4. Die. You may or may not need to make a pact with a dark god as part of steps 1 and 2. You might look at the 2nd Ed...
