If you're getting the same error at the same event with unpatched and patched, with new games, with reinstalls... then it sounds to me like you've got a corrupted file on your disc. I know that Nvidia cards cause some glitches with spell animations, but I don't know if that could be your...

Penumbra: Overture. What was said above about the crappy combat is very true. However, this game is succeeding in living up to the name, "survival horror." I am constantly worried about surviving! It's great to be scared to death of a dog/wolf thing and some big spiders instead of blasting...

Did you patch and then try to continue your same saved game? Read the readmes of the patches you installed. Often, you will have to start a new game after installing a patch.

Do you by any chance have Microsoft Visual Studio installed? I ask because "An application developed with the Microsoft Foundation Class Library can perform background processing either by using the PeekMessage() loop in the library code's main message loop or by embedding another PeekMessage()...

Duke Nukem 3d, with High Res texture pack. Yeah, Baby. Misteryo

I wouldn't trust this reasoning.

Suaside, could it be that you are remembering Arcanum, in which spectacles do indeed give you a +1 to Per if your Per<7, otherwise it gives you -1 to Per? Misteryo

That was fun again, even though I sucked even worse on the second game. Thanks, Per. Misteryo

Secret Meteor would be a good band name. Misteryo

Baldur's Gate Candlekeep? Misteryo

"i seance a little bit of irony there" This is one of my favorite typos now. misteryo

I think you answered your own question there. misteryo

Yay! This was fun, Per. Now, on to the next set of questions... Again! Again! Misteryo

I'm remembering that I never did in fact beat Shadowman, and I'm supposing now that I won't this time around either. 1) I suck at games that depend on my own dexterity and reflexes. 2) The controls kinda suck. Not sure if this is due to the port. Probably. But, until it gets too hard...

Shadow Man, N64 game hurriedly ported to PC in 99, I think. Just picked up a copy and hadn't played it in ten years. Third-person action shooter with some jumping and climbing stuff. But, voodoo setting. Fun main character voice. Giant polygons. Great sound effects. Nostalgia. Tons of allusions...

Stick with XP (Pro) until 7 comes out and is well-supported. 2 GB Ram is minimum with Vista, so you wouldn't really want to run it until you had more Ram anyway. But, the real reason to not go with Vista is that they screwed up Minesweeper! The Vista version sucks. That's really all you...

The first few Resident Evil games were particularly frustrating to me for one funny reason: I am a little bit colorblind. So on the map screen, locked doors were (I am told) marked by a flashing red bar, which I could not see. This made checking the map to see where I have and haven't been...

Killap posted this on pg 103 of the Restoration Project thread: If you read backwards from that page, you should be able to find some details. misteryo

http://thenamelessmod.com/ A 7-year total-conversion mod for one of my favorite games is actually done! [downloadable soon, they says] Man, 2008-2009 has been a good stretch for mods: Drog's Arcanum fixes, Qwinn's PST fixes, Wesp is still going strong on VTMB, Killap over here... It is...
