It's not that big a deal with me. I plan on exporting my character and starting over since the old save games aren't reliable...but that is something that should have been listed at the top of the readme...but this oversight is typical of Sacred and the patches released for it.

Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Thinking of buying an Apple computer
|
on: October 20, 2004, 11:54:45 AM
|
|
I can't add much except to add that I would love to get an Apple Mac and start learning it. I almost bought an Apple laptop before I got my Dell but this was before the price drops that have been common the past few months. If you have the means I would get one and try it out...if nothing else find one and use it first to see if you even like it.

Evidently he was been in some sort of training and did not have access or time to keep the updates coming (he's military). One of his forums posts said he's back now and it should be updated more regularly now.

I think they can claim it was the most successful game of the year (of it's type) because it was the only game of it's type this year. I can't think of another that was like it (same type as Diablo, Dungeon Seige, etc).

Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Further Developments in the TSS scandal : )

He didn't just die...he was in email dialog for weeks after the last trade happened. The excuses never stopped...he was leaving the company, traveling all over the country and overseas looking for a job, etc, etc, etc. He is nothing more than a common thief who ripped off at least 10 people on this board, more through the TSS site and many many more through ebay. I don't want my 10 games back...I want 10 minutes in private to beat the hell out of him for being an base lying cowardly ass and betraying everything gonegold stood for. BTW, the site is still up but nothing has been updated since early this year and no emails/phone numbers are answered. Damn I hope he's in jail right now...that's about the only excuse I would accept.

Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / So, anyone ever had a sleep study?
|
on: October 15, 2004, 02:38:40 PM
|
|
I had one too. One thing to tell you in advance - bring pajamas. I did not get the letter they sent where they tell you what to bring so I showed up ready for the study to sleep in my boxers only...except they have to hook up and anyone else there up first with the electrodes and it's not private. Also eat a good dinner, go to the bathroom and smoke your last one (if you smoke) before going up...you won't be coming back out before it's over.
They also found I had sleep apnea and it was bad enough that I bypassed the cpap machine and went straight to surgery (very rare with a HMO). The surgery is a whole other thread though and the worst week after of my life but almost every day has been better since.
If you do have it and get it fixed you will not believe the absolute difference after it's fixed. I went from being groggy, tired, falling asleep driving after 9 hours of sleep to fully awake, functional and alert on 7 hours. I breathe better, sleep better and think clearer.

Crap forgot all about it. I'm planning on getting it but I'm not reading it right away. I don't think I can handle reading what is book 1 of 4 and then having to wait months for the next and so on. I trying to wait for all three but I'll be lucky to wait for the 2nd before I break down.

Hey Gratch...I'd love Disciples II. I can put up a few myself:
Commandos 1 (PC) Silent Hill 3 (PC, Missing Disc 1 but has box, manual, other 4 CDs) Unreal (PC)
Karma +1 (not counting Silent Hill since it's not complete)
EDIT: I'm offering Silent Hill just in case someone wants it...maybe to replace one of their lost discs or to get the box and manual and inserts when all they have are the discs. It will not install and does not include disc 1 which is why I'm not counting it towards karma.

Talk to Mebbeth in her hut in Ragpicker's Square. It is located in the north part of Sigil near the mortuary. She has you run errands back and forth to the market. After becoming a mage you can switch back and forth using Dak'kon. Make sure to talk to Dak'kon about the circles to get a ton of experience and new spells (I leveled from 1 to 5 by talking to him and opening the circles) if your wisdom is high enough.

EDIT - moved to official thread (which I though this was). As for the Silent Hill...I'm only offering it in case someone wants to replace one of their other discs (missing, broken, etc) or only have the discs and want the box and manual. I'm not counting it towards the karma.

I haven't had any problems with the final 1.7 patch (unlike the beta 1.7 which crashed and burned my install) and right now I'm just waiting on the free expansion. Unlike Diablo though I don't know if I like it enough to get the expansion (retail) when it comes out. Maybe after it drops in price.

I had heard she was already in talk with Hugh for a future issue. I personally could care less...she's a skank, evidently stupid as hell and the sooner she fades into oblivion the better (and please take Paris "cooze" Hilton with you when you go).
As for the prison movies...I thought the has beens did those after they were too old and fugly to do real porn...not before.

How do you connect to these sites? Are they normal HTTP or HTTPS sites or maybe FTP? Do you have a hardware firewall or software firewall like ICF or zonealarm installed and running? If you have a software firewall have you tried to send the pics with the firewall closed? How big are the pics...are they small optimized pictures for the web or 2-4MB monsters straight from the flash card of your camera?

I'd like to get it too but I'm also waiting on the XBox version. The only games I get for the PS2 anymore are the exclusives (certain RPGs) and the semi-exclusives like GTA. I'm glad it good decent scores but I swear every game of this type is just a little shorter than the last.

Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / GameBoy Advance recommendations for my son
|
on: October 13, 2004, 12:35:11 PM
|

You can get a lot of the sports games really cheap...the football, mx biking, surfing, snowboarding, espn x games, etc and they are all non reading, clean and fun games. My son loves all of them...also all of the Super Mario games and Pokemon games (Pokemon has a lot of basic reading...probably aimed at the 8-12 year old range).
There are also the classic NES games coming out...like Donkey Kong and other niche titles like Pokemon Pinball and Mario Pinball. And maybe the Sonic games in addition to Spyro.

Non-Gaming / Trading Forum / The Trader Feedback List (old)
|
on: October 13, 2004, 12:27:08 PM
|
My opinion would be this: The people who're Gold Traders and Fools Gold should go over at the minimum required for that (+10 and -3). Anyone else should come over with theirs intact. Unless people would rather the entire thing come over intact. I don't want to seem like invading forces, after all. That would basically suck. A lot of us spent years of building up trust and getting our feedback into the 30-100+ range and we shouldn't lose that. I'm willing to start over here but I would like it noted that I did have 34+ or whatever on gonegold before starting at 0 again at consolegold. Maybe a feedback rating like +3 (34 GG).

I hate consoles too but I still have all three of the them plus every major one back to the 2600. They are expensive, the games are short and expensive, the accessories are outrageous and they are all damn fun to play especially when you don't have hours to devote to my favorite...the computer RPG.

Another WTF one for the creepy scary Burger King commercial. What the hell were they thinking...if I ever woke up with a man wearing a mask in my bed the last thing I'd be thinking about is food.
Of course since I've given up most fast food I've noticed every other commercial 24/7 is a food advertisement.

I turned the auto record stuff off about 2 weeks after getting it. It was recording 1 show I wanted and 9 others I didn't just about every day. So I just set up 15 or so season passes, another 15 or so on my other Tivo upstairs and now don't worry about it.
There is a new feature...HMO or the Home Media Option. It's supposed to let you share the TiVo recordings from multiple units (if you have 2-3 in your house) over the network so you can watch any recorded show from any of them.
Now if I could get a TiVo with a built in DVDR that wasn't the price of a small car it would be perfect.

We went to Sandals in Nassau and loved it. Sandals is great but it is damn expensive...I couldn't have gone if I didn't work for a travel agency (back when we still got those type of deals and cheap airfare). The good thing about it is you are so active with everything included you don't put on weight from the 2000 calories a day in mixed drinks you have  Loved it but couldn't afford to go back now.
