Ah ok, so it isn't her IP but a local address that belongs to her router. That is indeed quite a difference. Afaik the DNS-address is usually provided by the router, or rather a server that the router connects to, hence I suggested to look for the configuration-tool to properly set up the...

I'm also no computer expert, but 192.168.0.1 is the IP of her PC. Have you tried setting the IP-address yourself? Like this: IP-Address 192.168.1.2; Subnetmask 255.255.255.0; Standardgateway 192.168.1.1 <- Feed this address into the browser and see if the router configuration tool comes up. If...

Well, maybe I overshot a bit to make the point, but in essence I really felt that way when I first played Gothic 3. Sure, the game mechanics have not changed as fundamentally as in Bethesdas Fallout, but all the other ingredients of the Gothic experience, the combat, the exploration, the...

Yep, welcome to the club. And don't think for a moment, that it gets any better. All that awaits the Gothic 3 player are frustrations due to the bad combat, loads of uninspired MMO-like quests (hunt x deer, collect x y, clear that canyon of creatures...) and unrewarding exploration due to...

But it is a really bad example. It is a legal matter of copyright that lead to "censorship" of certain videos that weren't supposed to be public domain in the first place. Who decides what public domain is? In this particular case its the artists through the gema. In any other cases that don't...

I liked BE5 too and "Brigade 7.62: High Calibre" was actually released last month here in germany. Its not as enjoyable as BE5 imo, mainly because of the clunky programming in general and the horrible localization and other questionable design decisions. I read a lot about improved roleplaying...

Can we please stop throwing around all those platitudes? Orwell, Gestapo, bookburnings, c'mon! This is not censorship but a simple matter of copyright, to which bookburnings and the situation in china, north-korea or (gasp!) Nazi-Germany aren't even remotely comparable. The songs are still...

Spore definitely deserves the top rank on that list. The editor is fun for a while, the rest of the game fails to deliver anything but boredom. On inventory systems: The best I've seen is the one from Brigade E5: New Jagged Union, which also has the best thought-out RtwP combat engine so...

As I said, this problem is a symptom of poor economies and sexist societies. I'm not talking rapists here, what I'm talking about is respect!

Some nice ideas here :clap: Another dream of mine would be a space game with the free and rewarding exploration in a beautiful space of Freelancer, combined with the open universe of Independence War and the dynamic economy and ship range, let's just say general sandboxyness, of the X...

For me it would consist of the Fallout setting including all the depth of characterization and dialogue with a better combat system that allows for more tactics and group management, like the one from Jagged Alliance 2. S.P.E.C.I.A.L would only have to be modified a bit in the AP department. It...

I don't have a solution. And to think that women have the choice to not do porn is pretty shortsighted. In a lot of east-european and ex-USSR countrys, people have problems to earn a living with a normal job, especially women. Don't you think they'd rather take another job that pays as much than...

I think it makes no sense to look for sexism in virtual realities when there are plenty issues in the real world to deal with. Hardcore porn and the corrensponding industry for example, where women are objectified to no end and often treated as living sex dolls. It's probably as common amongst...

True, but you really don't need that much ammo if you upgrade your weapons, and drops are plentiful: enemies, crates, lockers plus some stuff just lying around. Most Necromorphs go down with 2-3 well aimed shots from almost any weapon, except the black kind. Come to think of it, I only need one...

Up to now (Chapter 7), none of the cliché twists I expected happened. But there's still time... None. Every weapon has its own ammo and the drops depend on what weapons you carry. Because of that, it's smart to buy guns even if you don't plan on using them. Some ammo sells really well (Line...
