The Gamer's Quarter

It's not necessarily new, but I've been listening to Calvin Harris' I Created Disco a fair chunk lately.

After hearing the full scope of the album, the true gem is Acceptable In The 80s and always ...

What's with colour management?

So far I've been using Gimp and Inkscape; I'm an illustrator, so - thus far - these have been all I've needed.

it does games and graphics pretty well, it's just getting it to interpret windows' bullshit that takes some doing. At least, Ubuntu does. Never tried playing any games on RedHat, in my experience it's ...

I got it too.

I think it just got sent to everyone here at TGQ.. considering I'm barely even a game modder.

Update: once you know what you're doing ubuntu intrepid is actually a pretty powerful gaming platform.

I'm very pleased, especially since I didn't have to spend a dime on Windows.

To show the games how much I love them. Wink

I can't get my new computer to recognise the HD from my old - which has XP32 installed on it, and I foolishly purchased and opened an upgrade copy o ...

I'm having enough problems getting Fallout 2 to run in Wine that World of Goo might give me ulcers (unless there's a .deb out there somewhere for it).

I have to say my experience thus far with Ubun ...

i'd like to posit my support for tranquility lane.

also, i thought dead space as a whole was really fun, but the medical deck really captured that... you know... action game version of system shock ...

and I just installed ubuntu on my new gaming PC. This was a decision resulting from a long, expensive, and painful process revolving around trying to install vista 64, since I didn't know dx10 was sup ...

there are many mods for FO3 already, and many of them change the way levelling and difficulty works.

Most of the armor/clothes mods are shit though. :'( Being a clothes horse this early since relea ...

Outcasts?

Is there a store at Tenpenny? I've not been by to collect my next magnificent outfit, yet.

Ga-ryyyy...

I started out small guns/stealth/speech with my protagonista, but have since evolved into some sort of lock-cracking, computer-hacking laser fetishist.

I do still resort to the combat shotgun a lot ...

From what I've heard, no. Sad

I did kind of get the Venture vibe, especially since his assistant is named Jonas.

And now he's fucked off into the wasteland, apparently with nothing but moxy and SCIENCE!

I blew a ghoul's eyeb ...

Hah, I love this game so far. I wish I could use AP to, say, run faster or something though.

I know this is going to sound really lame of me, but I love the variety of armour available to me. I kee ...

Dead Space is pretty great but feels a lot like I'm playing System Shock 2 again, as a naval officer, but this time the Many won't sing to me.

Found out my fiancee hasn't ever played BG or BGII to completion, so we picked up a bit of a collection of Infinity Engine games and are playing through BGtutu as a monk (me) and an archer (her).

M ...

maybe Daedalus had a hand in it!

So it's fun, then, right?

Been replaying Torment, as it's been ten years. God I love this game.

I saw Midnight Meat Train yesterday.

Clive Barker's gotten kind of a lot predictable, but I still liked it.

uh, what about RDD for the ridiculous strength upgrade?

does MotB completely negate the utility of that for a melee build?

Yeah, I was really excited about Lost Planet but gave up on it for the bullshit the game starts with.

That might be the best homage I've ever heard of.

yeah, basically. kensei/wiz is total cheese because after kensei 7 you can go all wizard, all the time and eventually pick up uber spells like immunity to normal weapons, etc, and spell buff and beat ...

Give that fighter Grand Mastery in Sling. >)

What's with sling? Faster shot speed, cheaper ammo? Sort of like going GM dagger or shortsword?

so after about four years of stalling, and completely disheartened by my setbacks in diablo 2, i finally started up baldur's gate 2. i think i get it, now. but damn combat is hard.

What're you play ...

Also, the jungle and desert hirelings are really useful! Especially the horadrim guys from the jungle.

The arcade scene in Iowa might as well not exist. My most recent arcade trip was in Iowa City, nothing worth playing and not much of it worked right.

The Tilt in the Oglethorpe Mall here in Savanna ...

i get the most mileage out of the cube in upgrading jewels, three of the same jewel of the same quality will give you the next step up in the same jewel.

Perfect skulls are the bread-and-butter of ...

Oh, you should keep the cube with you! It doesn't transmute anything unless you click the button, so you can use it as sort of a cubic bag for extra storage.

Charms don't count if you stuff them in ...

That happened to me once as my glamazon and forever after, I kept a spare set of gear in my vault, just to wear to get my corpse back. Sad

We watched Gothic last night, in celebration of assembling our living room (even though our couch doesn't have any cushions right now -- we stupidly washed them. Surprised

).

I'd seen it before, in the W ...

thanks guys, safely located in savannah and our internet's fully installed. we're still unpacking, living on a shoestring budget, and wondering how we ever thought we could afford this school.

So I'm officially migrating to Savannah ca. like tomorrow, consigning my past in Iowa to the murky depths and starting up at the Savannah College of Art and Design.

I'll be fully arrived by the 15t ...

Real shame about your card, Jimjams. Sad

Wish I could do anything to help, except I think the only person I used to know living in Japan killed herself.

Maybe Cycle could swoop in last-minute and re ...

Wow, this is quite a collection of intriguing flavours. Smells and tastes to go with sights and sounds, I guess, for a full sensory experience.

I've also heard, speaking still of Neubauten, that the Musterhaus albums are pretty excellent but haven't had the opportunity to pick them up myself.

The KRUI station has been playing some house st ...

Maybe he's listening to the wrong stuff? A lot of my friends I've recommended Neubauten to can't stand it, because they always start with 1/2 Mensch.

Yeah, I could knock out an Oblivion gate in five minutes flat on my agent, two on my battlemage.

hmm

holy shit was the Dark Knight ever awesome

I also saw Hellboy 2 recently; less of an all-round awesome movie, but phenomenal visual design there.

bleatings

i just realised this is what i tell everyone when they visit japan, and you know, i don't have any problems with the country, just with the hong kong element.
