This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming.

If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Yep.  It's a little easier to make plat, but it's still the same format: Kill, XP, Loot.  Add in boring-ass quests, and you've got a game with suck written all over it.

Mr. Christopher

Postal 2 mostly. Been playing arcade games with MAME too. Tried installing Redneck Rampage again but Windows XP and Build engine games don't mix. And as I rediscovered last night neither do cheap vodka and me.
Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what\'s on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide.

Quote from: Cat of UltharNeverwinter Nights too.

that is, I spent 3 hours convincing my computer that I truly honestly wanted it installed, then found out my videocard cannot handle it.:mad: but a new videocard is coming soon, so hopefully I'll finally be able to play... need RPG... badly...
I re-instaled to play on the server that was set up for NTLers, and just while away time until NWN2 comes out.  But the fucker kept crashing to desktop or rebooting the system. Longest I could play was 1/2 hour at a time. All my drivers are updated I even tried omega drivers for my video card and still no good. So I unistalled it and bought WoW.

If you were using an ATI video card thats your problem.  ATI has had problems with NWN from the beginning and was uanble or unwilling to fix the problems.

Yep I do. I do recal from before that there was a certain catalyst driver which NWN ran smoothly with. I am not goping to go to such an old driver just to play NWN.
 

Reefer Madness

thanks Knightcrawler!

I'm not sure whether it is still up.  My guess is that it's not.  But, if you are really interested and wanted to check, you need to get in touch with Nightfang.

If he's registered here, it's under a different name.  You might try to see if he's registered at one of the other boards linked to at the bottom of the home page.

Hope that helps.

Thanks man. I'll look into it. I really wanted to play last week because I was on vacation. But I'm back to work now, so my goof-off time is severely limited.
