    MechWarrior Ultimate config... (Your oppinion, please)

    The weapon loadout I used depended usually on the nature of the mission.... for close up stuff around in the cities, the LBX cannons worked well... twin cannons firing point blank into a smaller mech results in an instant kill. However, my fave weapon without doubt is the Clan PPC. Mounting...

    Download System Shock 2! **NOT WAREZ**

    Electronic Arts is an ESA member so I'd have expected them (ESA) to advise places that had SS2 available for download to remove it on EAs behalf. And as it seems they haven't done so, it's possible EA is letting the game go free.... possibly to help encourage interest in the small chance of a...

    Awaken Mod Help Thread (possible spoilers)

    The only suggestion I could make would be to revert to an earlier save and try again. Failing that, copy those save files to another place, reinstall FOT and then the Mod, copy the saves to their folder and try again. Cheers, Eric

    Awaken Mod Help Thread (possible spoilers)

    *slaps himself around the head* My mistake... this quest is actually based in New Chicago, not Rampart as I said... it's the quest which will give you a house there if you complete it but, as I said, I've never been able too. And you're right... picking up that notebook certainly gives you...

    Awaken Mod Help Thread (possible spoilers)

    I'm having a little trouble with the Awaken mod too... When I give the 'Hangman' in the Raider Camp the Super Cattle Prod, while I can still talk to him, the quest never seems to tick over as being completed. Also, in the raider camp, I can't get the quest from Wilsion to save the missing...

    Patches for Fallout 2

    That would probably be the automatic censoring function kicking in. Cheers, Eric

    Sorry to hear that Celestial. It sucks to work so hard and have it all disappear. You have my (and everybody here at NMA) sympathies. Cheers mate. Eric

    Patches for Fallout 2

    Well, he did say he was having some dramas with his 'net connection so it's possible he's 'offline' at the moment. I'm sure he'll put us out of our misery as soon as he can. Cheers, Eric

    Naval Rail Guns? Take the left aisle then.

    Tech Issue: Setup can't write to Drive C?

    So you're trying to upgrade W2K to WinXP? I think there are some issues with trying to upgrade to the 'Home' version of XP... the Home version doesn't include some of the features that are common to both W2K and the XP Pro version. The only other thing which comes to mind is the file...

    Naval Rail Guns? Take the left aisle then.

    It's considered coolish here in Australia... we usually have more moderate winters. But it does make for great overclocking weather. My Barton XP2500 is humming along at 2.1GHz (default 1.83) and it's struggling to get over 46C degrees. A railgun launcher on the moon seems a fair enough...

    Naval Rail Guns? Take the left aisle then.

    Yep... I was refering to the acceleration of launching such craft... fighter pilots blackout around 10 gees, don't they? But I do recall John Carmack saying once that Quake wasn't real (sorry Mohrg6sic6 ;)) in the sense that the character you controlled could move into full speed in .0001 of...

    The moon?

    The day is going to come where humanity is going to have a colony on the moon. And there will be a small viewing port for viewing the remains of the lunar module and the US flag there. And then some people are gonna look pretty silly ;) But hey, we're all entitled to our own opinion. Just...

    I, Robot

    Books and films are just fundamentally different mediums. Compromises have to made in the translation from one to other. I wonder if it works in reverse... are books which are based on a movie better or worse? I only read the Red Darwf Omnibus AFTER having seen the TV series... and it...

    I, Robot

    While I haven't seen the movie, (previous movies based on his books have been shocking), I have read or own most of the books written by Issac Asimov. The book, I, Robot is a collection of stories written between 1941 and 1950. Most of these stories first appeared in the science fiction...

    Naval Rail Guns? Take the left aisle then.

    Rail guns aren't entirely suited to launching many payloads into space... the rapid acceleration destroys the more delicate stuff and the human body could never handle it either. I do recall, however, there was some mention of slowly accelerating the payload but the setup/running costs weren't...

    Patches for Fallout 2

    The 1.06 patch is in progress and it due for release shortly... at least according to Celestial who is the wise fellow responisble for it. When it's completed, I'm sure he will post here to let us know. [Short version] When it's finished ;) Cheers, Eric
