It arrived! But all I have been able to do is pull it out of the box (more later - this was interesting), install Batman and play a bit. The packaging for it was very interesting. I think it was half of the shipping weight! They have a box inside a box and the computer inside that box...

Greetings! I am trying to find a discussion that I saw about what westerns are, as a genre, and why Firefly (the tv show) was a western but the movie was a scifi show. My google fu is weak and I can't find it. Does anyone know what I am talking about? Just re-read the recently Firefly...

If someone here was willing to post what they bought, not necessarily where but enough for google, I would have gladly put together my own system. I can work with the hardware and am confident with it. What I am not good at is keeping up with the hardware and knowing what motherboards are...

Wow! Thanks for all of the great advice! Thanee: Yep, don't have a store like that. And while I might go read about what you sent in the links, it's not something I follow or watch regularly. So, I really don't know tons about hardware. I am comfortable putting it together and can do...

You guys rock! Thanks for the great advice! The alienware I priced out is: PROCESSOR Intel® Core™ i7 920 2.66GHz (8MB Cache) Quad Core Processor OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English VIDEO CARD Single 1.8GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 260 MEMORY 6GB Triple Channel...

How bad is it to have "older" stuff? I did find a Alienware Aurora base system for my price. Has quad core, 6G RAM and a nVidia 260. I know the 260 is the lowest of the high end. Is that all I really need, given that my own system is a pIV 3.4, with a 8500 card? Thanks! edg

Thanks for the replies! It wasn't impatience per se. It was more that I thought I had said too much and wanted to reduce it to the bare bones. It's my understanding that in the States, it's cheaper to get a full system than to try and put one together. I could be wrong on that in that...

Hmm. I went for background but was probably too verbose. Probably still am. How about this? Recommend me a gaming desktop. Want to play: Dragon Age: Origins, Batman Arkham, Ghostbusters, older games. Budget: $1500 Let me know if it's possible as well as recommendations...

Greetings! I am hoping for recommendations on a gaming PC. I used to go with Dells and I still like them but am curious if they are still competitive. So, I am looking here for help! My budget is about $1500 for a gaming desktop. I am open to whatever runs games well, such as the new...

I think details are the best and worst things about gaming. Years ago, I wanted to compile a list of tastes, scents, viscosity, textures and other similar traits and then apply them to potions. Maybe apply some logic to them, such as healing potions being horrible tasting, like medicine back...

Back in the day, I really wanted to like Fast Forward books. The ideas of a sets of magic items, demons, staves, etc. in their books were good but I didn't like the execution. I, for one, have been turned off on 3PP with regards to the character builder. I have some very casual players and...

Aha! I haven't seen that preview, which was my confusion. I am glad I didn't miss anything. Thanks! edg

Okay, I have played around with OP a bit more. here it is. In contrast to mine, this goes straight to the Dark Sun Page. Admittedly, I was pleasantly surprised by a few pieces of OP. Each journal entry was also its own page. So, creating that top level with links was quick once they were...

My ten second sign up and playing with Obsidian Portal and it was eh. I think pbwiki has a much better editor, including moving and creating both folders and files. I also wasn't sure if OP is wysiwyg or not but pbwiki is. But, it was not much playing time with it and I have been using pbwiki...

I guess I am not sure what the OP wants. A wiki for play live games or a place to hold information? I use pbwiki.com for my own game (My campaign wiki) but it is for information and session stuff, not a place we use when playing. It's a place to put information for or from the DM. My...

On Mouseferatu's LJ, they say there is a name that explains why Queen Elizabeth was mad at the Doctor. Sadly, I didn't catch it. Can anyone clue me into what's going on? Thanks! edg

I did buy the game when my demo ran out and I wasn't done! I wanted to play more! So, I got it. It's been fun! I enjoy it! edg

I haven't bought it but am leaning that way. I do like the demo! edg

Sorry so long - my rambling thoughts and experiences on this **Standard Disclaimer. This is my opinion.** I have several thoughts on this. I really like the Alternity system but it has been OOP for a while. Four years ago, my players indulged me and we played it as a Fantasy setting...

I apologize for my misrepresentation and not being clear in my communication. I know that it can take the RTF export to import into it. What I am hoping for is a way for it to pull from the compendium, and not pull in duplicates, rather than me having to input monsters one at a time. I know...
