Lucky Europeans, I have to wait until November 13th to play. I guess on the plus side they'll have a patch by then though.

This was the only problem I ran into while I was there. You could go into the same store 3 times in the same day and they would give you three different prices for the same item. Plus they use three different currencies, the Euro, the US dollar, and the Turkish lira, so buying anything is not...

http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/pto-20041112-000010.html I'd laugh if it weren't so sad. The thing is, things like this get discussed as if it's a going to be a problem when these kids age - when in fact most adults already are this way.

That's a very poorly thought out article; he muddies and distracts from his essential point by name-dropping and shallowly criticizing the great games of the genre, making a highly disputable statement about Japanese games that has nothing to do with his point, and throughout talking about...

Apologies if I came across as lecturing you rather than berating the article, I didn't mean it that way. They are right about the basic structure of combat, and the gloom aspect could have used some work to make it more varied or optional instead of something you have to do every time. It's a...

Either they gave the game to a reviewer who dislikes that type of game, or they're just trying to cater to or warn the ADD console crowd. Tediousness is a matter of perspective after all, and it's an especially worthless judgment in context of games. All games of any type consist of the...

I liked the demo so much that I decided that playing it was worth subjecting my poor computer to the unholy abomination that is Starforce. It's pretty fun so far; it basically plays like Silent Storm with the "Night Watch" world superimposed on it, but for me that's perfect. After all, the SS...

There's no doubt in my mind that it's a Preacher reference.

:look: Yikes. One of my friends who is going looks a lot like Billy Zane too. Time to start working on my brogue, I guess. "American me fekkin arse, I'm Irish ye twit." That sucks, hopefully it won't amount to more than a few dirty looks though. My friend and her brother are both Turkish...

I'm not leaving until September so I've got a while to prepare and maybe learn a bit of the language. Any advice or suggestions from your friend would be very appreciated. It's good to hear that it's not very anti-American, to be honest it was kind of worrying me. All the same I don't think...

Two of my friends recently got married, and since one of them is Turkish they're going to have a "proper" ceremony there so that all her relatives can attend (Istanbul, btw). I'm going to be there for a week so I'm looking for some suggestions. What should I make sure to see or do while I'm...

You're right of course, but I was also trying to get across that "Murder is on the rise!" is alarmist. Murder and violent crime have always been around, and there's always going to be an ebb and flow as law enforcement ramps ups its efforts due to rising crime rates, then eases off due to...

I don't know about the rest of the country, but the rise of violent crime and murder in Boston has been linked to the release of all the criminals they put away years ago when they cleaned up the city. The recidivism rate for criminals in the US is 60%. Put large amounts of criminals away, crime...

Aside from making sure the wires are all still connected, none that my limited experience with electronics can come up with. If you have the patience you could buy a replacement one from radio shack or somewhere and try replacing it - it might be a hassle, but if it's the problem it's certainly...

Does anything happen at all when you hit the power button? If nothing does it could be that just the button is broken. If it does power up, describe what happens - i.e., beeps, any unusual sounds, etc. As for building a new computer, it's fairly easy. The only thing you really need to worry...

You could also use a "slowdown" utility, I have an A64 similar to yours and it works great for getting the world map travel down to a normal speed, giving you more random encounters than you'll get with just the modified world map table. I'm using "CPUGrab", though I can't remember where I got...

You're probably better off just doing the minor changes to the configuration file (if needed) than trying to find the setup program. Just try installing the game as normal, then consult the troubleshooting thread at the top of this forum if the game doesn't run properly.

Ratty posting news!?! Who authorized this? Congratulations and welcome aboard, Ratty.

Even better go to Moby Games, you can sort through games by year and genre pretty quickly.

Didn't Isaac do all the Vaultboy/Pipboy pictures as well?
