Kasabian? Aye, I know them. Not a fan, but I won't turn the radio off if they are on. Ol' Robbie, but I thought you had taste! :) Now, if you are listining to Blur, go and see if you can DL their B-Sides from their Modern Life/Parklife/Great Escape days, the quality is high enough to...

Thanks. It's not like I'm looking at that as a career, it's just in a half-dozen games i've played as a girl, she allways says it's not right that I'm too keen. It's not like by that stage I need the cash, it's usually for the 'experiance' so I can go and shoot some movies.... Armour...

Well, I'm playing F2 while I wait for my NV to be delivered. Damm snow. I have a few little questions about gameplay and Per's exellent guide don't have the answer. 1) Do those pickpockets in the Den pickpocket your NPC's? 2) The Prostitute in the Marnaduke bar in Redding, when she says...

I'd like the idea of Fallout set in the 2080's-2090's. At that stage, radiation is still a serious issue, and you could have loads of factions trying to swipe what resorces are left. At that stage you would still see ragged army units turning into bandit bands, police in undamaged small towns...

At least you'll get all those beaks for alchemy.... I don't see how you can use the same person on a new game without a import facility. And you'd have to own Oblivion too. Just finished a 'do everything' game on Oblivion. Rather dissipointed with the 'Knights of the Nine' addon. Did it in...

Developers are so touchy about game engines. They don't like like giving them away, even if they are now obsolete. If even a couple of the majors started to GPL their old game engines after they had replaced them, loads of tiny indie companies would spring up within months, because getting an...

Ach...my main complaints with F3 was due to the fact it was Besthesda. My standards were high from my experiance with Morrowind. I knew they could do better, story/depth-wize. If it had been LucasArts or EA who made this, I'd been much more impressed. So, it's their own fault from making a...

A failing regime attepting to externalise discontent by courting war is nothing new. Argentina went to war with the UK in 1982 because the military regime was on the brink of collapse. It needed the military sucess to quieten the discontent. Iraq went to war with Kuwait in 1990 for similar...

Fair point. One of the things I did approve of was the compass on-screen, as well as the ability to place a marker on the map. I'll admit, I did like the fast travel too, although I thought it was unfair that every locale you could fast-travel from and to. Walking too long? Tell me about it...

Tell me about it. In the UK, where I live, the market consentration means that there is only HMV and Game left for your needs, and their selection is shrinking by the day. If you want an indie game or one that is a couple of years old - forget it. In fact, these days 'indie' stands more and more...

I didn't realise how much much a meglomaniac controlfreak Jobs was until I spent a couple of hours with various iProducts and a hardcore Mac user. Perhaps it will be more open if Macs had say 50% of the market share, but I seriously doubt it. (Because it would be cost-effective for third-party...

Allright. 1) Firstly, when you put the CD in the drive, does the drive detect it being there? If the label of the Drive changes from 'DVD Drive' to 'disc label', it has. If it does not, it means there is a problem with the disc. 2) If the autorun does not work (doubleclicking on the CD...

Well, Morrowind's journal was voted crappy by all. The only good thing about it was you could look things up by topic, any topic you had talked to a NPC about. It also encouraged you to think about how to do stuff. Off my top of my head, the Goldbrand mission is only vaguely hinted at by two...

Oh it can, my little droogies. Just imagine a world in which Apple has the market power of MS. Then cry.

Well, I found STALKER to be somewhat refreshing. Agreed, it's a liniear as hell, and there is a real dearth of traders / safe houses. The last safe place for building a supply dump and for trading is the Freedom Base, so by the time you reach Pripiat you are allready running low on some...

That's why I ripped out 7 and put XP back on. It's not progress when the new can't do what the old did before. That and about 30 of my games refused to run. Though it does mean I can't play Civ V. Well, back to IV and III. Still playing Civ III - I finally have a PC which can handle 32 civs...

This may be only a USA ruling, but if it holds, it will eventully expand like a virus worldwide. I really hope to god it does not hold. It is those ***** who are attempting to change the whole concept from 'own the copy, own right to use' to 'right to play only for limited time/on one machine'...

If I remember, in the UK, if you can get away from a debt for five years or more, you never have to pay it. If you can lose their trail (address, phone etc) for that amount of time, it counts. You must never accept it's existance or something... Well, I have my PC linked to my stereo, so all...

One of the biggest draws for windows was their backwards-compatability. I've been PC gaming for 15 years now, so I have games from the 386-era to today. Until Vista, every OS supported the older games. With the removal of 'true' DOS in XP (the DOS in XP is more like an emulator) it became...

W7 has poor support for older games - and when I say old, XP-era games fall into that catagory too. You can get work-around solutions for some of them, but some take a fair bit of legwork to get right - and they will often conflict with other mods/hacks you have (like no-cd patches) Some will...
