I have to go use my gift card at some place, because they're having a massive sale, with everything at 50% off.

For poor kids that don't get much the rest of the year: Lego. Boxes and boxes of Lego. And some Barbie dolls, because girls typically get toys meant for boys, and getting a crappy toy you have no interest in is almost as bad as getting nothing.
And I did it last year, and the year before. Except that one year, where I bought GBA SPs and one game for each of them, so that the kids who got them would have something to play. That was a good year. I think I'll do that again next christmas. But with DS Lites, maybe.

Well, at least we know our two mods here are actually doing something to warrant their promotion.

Yeah, that one's posting as a "guest" and is spamming in most of the boards, as well as in the announcements and reviews. This one seems particularly prolific and annoying.

Okay, congrats.
Now get to work.
BANNED.

Great... now whenever we're having a good conversation, we have to suddenly keep it down when Bahamut and Xel show up.
And we can't use "shtyjdg fgt" anymore.
This is just great.

No, that's doesn't seem to be the problem. I was running it perfectly fine for weeks, and then I had to reinstall it. That was when the game started to crash upon booting. And I don't have hyper threading, as that is an Intel P4 thing. I have a Athalon 64-bit system, duo-core. I only got it back in July.
But like I said, I could play it with no problem at all for a long time. It was a sudden development, and I can not figure out what it is.
But I will still check things out... maybe there is a new patch or someone else had the same problem.

Considering how much a copy of Windows costs these days, I'd keep my current one regardless of what Vista offered. It's just not economical anymore.

Sigh.. I miss my Homeworld Cataclysm.
I was installing it, and there was some sort of screw up. I had to reinstall. The install went fine. But once I tried to play the game, it wouldn't load at all.
Uninstalled. Reinstalled. Didn't work. Repeat.
I eventually had to go into the registry and manually remove everything from the game, but even that hasn't solved the problem.
Here I have this nice shiny new computer with all this processor and video card power.. and I can't even get Homeworld Cataclysm to work anymore. And I love that game. I happily spent days on end playing it. And I just found out about all the cool mods and map packs that are out there.
Have you tried running CCleaner? A few times I've had similar things happen and that tends to fix it up for me. And best of all, it's all sorts of nice and free.
Yeah, I tried it. It found about 430 megs of stuff that it cleaned up, and went through the registry, but the problem still exists.
It's actually been several months since I last tried to get it working, so my description was a little off. What happens is I can start it, and it will go through both of the Sierra and Barking Dog Studios clips, but the instant it is about to go into the main menu, that's when it crashes. I get the usual "an error has occurred with (insert program name). Would you like to submit an error report?" box.
It must be something really minor, hidden away somewhere. Because nothing else has been affected at all.
I guess I'll just have to buy or put together an older computer and use that strictly for older games... It's not like I couldn't, you know. There's only a few dozen old systems between my friends and family. I'm sure if I wanted to, I could pull it off.

Haven't touched it yet. Looking forward to it, though.

don't mention Descent 2... I miss that so much.

...you can give it a shot
No SFX but the redbook audio always works.I've been meaning to give dosbox a try, but I never get around to it.

A lot of my older PC games [some great ones too] don't work on my new computer. Age of Empires II, Mechwarrior 3, Descent II, etc.
You could try turning Hyperthreading off. I remember that fixed the sound issues I had with Curse of Monkey Island [fucking awesome game FYI], and then I turned HT back on after I was done with the game.
Actually, I should try that with MW3 and AoE2 and see if that helps anything. Those two games just have illegal operations on startup, which is a bummer. It's probably DirectX's fault.
If this is a response to my issue, it's not any of those. I was running the game fine on the current system, but I had to reinstall it. That's when everything went to hell.
And don't mention Descent 2... I miss that so much.

I thought so. I even checked the same page on another computer and saw it happen.

How the hell do you get the hawkeye? What does it do? It never appeared in the store.In Karkariko village, you can talk to the kids, and one of them will offer you a chance to play a game. You have to stand by the spring, and hit a wooden pole on top of the top-most building on the other side of town. Hit the pole, and you get the Hawkeye.
How do you do it? Just keep firing and moving over a bit until you hit it.

In both the 360 and PS3 threads, there's this persistent stretching of the page. Refreshing does nothing, and it's not a large image that was posted by someone.
I think someone has a fucked up sig or something. Any ideas?

QUICK! HE'S STATING HIS OPINION! GET HIM!

Pix or it didn't happen.

Some guy on the Gamefaqs Twilight Princess board seems to have discovered some interesting things that were left in the game. He apparently used a few cheats to alter the properties, namely infinite range, instant targeting, and can attach to any surface. Using this, he tried to go into all the areas of the game that are normally unreachable, and he found some interesting places.
Nothing really "OMFG! THATS TEH AWESOME!", but it is rather interesting to see how far they developed the world beyond what the player normally sees.

I have a neighbor like that. He has a small farm, and sometimes gives us fresh vegetables, or left over meat from his latest slaughter (he has sheep and cows-- both of which are yummy). But he's weird in other ways. For example, I haven't seen him leave his yard in six months...
Nice enough though.
Somewhere in Alberta, this guy who owned a farm killed a bunch of hookers and ground them up with pigs and froze them. Over the course of a month or two, he gave his neighbors hooker-pig meat which they happily ate. I can't remember what led to it, but a sample of the meat was analyzed and there were several human traces from numerous people found within it.
That, and the fact that some human remains were unearthed on his farm pretty much confirmed he was the hooker killer that the cops were looking for.
Moral of the story: It's good to be paranoid. At least that way you wont end up with some ho's toxic coochie mixed in with your family dinner.
Wasn't that BC? No, wait, that was the giant pig farm where they found those hundred or so dead hookers.
What the fuck is with this country and dead hookers?

Jesus... now I have to change this thread's title to "SilverStar and Phthisis bitch at each other", and get it moved to UnMod.
I don't recall any of the other system threads going so downhill so quickly...

Really? Because I remembered most of the ones I've already fought, just by reading the list. The rest I either found for the first time or when I got there, I realized I had already beat them.
And then there's the half dozen I accidentally came across while working on other side-quests.

Yeah, so... everyone just go do your year-end stuff for now, and we can pick up again in January. If you want to keep working on those remixes (and I hope you are), you can, but don't forget to do that whole christmas thing while you're at it.
Uh... merry christmas.

For those who are scratching their heads in confusion, Defense of the Ancients is mod for Warcraft 3.

They should. I've found most wireless systems can go through floors and walls with ease. The thicker the walls, of course, the more it has to travel through. So unless your college dorm is an old building and they made the walls out of foot-thick lead plates, you shouldn't have a problem.
