  1. The Butcher in Diablo. First time I saw him I crapped myself and my dude ran, ran, ran. It was the big fat f**k with a cleaver. The first *pinky* I met in doom 2. Again scared me silly. Loved it. The marshmallow man in the C64 game Ghostbusters. I always got squished trying to run through his legs.
  2. I just finished reading a new members asking how to get higher ranks. It was explained that it is based on posts to this forum, not game skills or time since joined. After reading this thread, I now have a much fuller and greater understanding of where many of those ranks came from Oh, sorry, I need 8 hours of sleep per night.
  3. Well, if all went well, I made an account SWRdodododo (yah, I know it's a stupid nick. I chose it long ago - hum it to the intro to Indiana Jones)
  4. We should agree on a format before everyone charges in and signs up. Can we get a post with which program/site we'll use if we'll use SWR_ for each player This might work out well!
  5. I have 5 garbages in my kitchen -I kid you not. Regular, glass, plastic/metal(cans), paper and bio. I have 3 garbage 'bin's' that I must use, paper/bio/regular and have drop boxes on the corner for glass. There are plastic bags for pastic/metal which the pick up, too. I grew up in Canada where we had one garbage and that was taken to an Indian Reserve for dumping! Now, 99% of everything I use gets recycled. I'm not anal about it either, everyone here does it.
  6. In Germany they charge for bags at the grocery store. From my 5 years here 90% of people bring used bags with them shopping. Works well, no waste. Recycle the broken ones.
  7. 6/10. Just to save time, I'll just post my credit card, banking info and mothers maiden name here and save myself the embarrassment later...
  8. I'll post what I do when I reinstall, it's a faq I wrote for another site; Installing Windows XP – I wrote this up for a friend, hope it helps. Things to have ready : • Your XP CD. Your XP CD key. Helpful tip : don’t have the CD KEY on the XP CD. When you need it the disk will be in the drive… • Hardware manual – to make certain all the hardware is in right. Be certain the dip switches on the HD’s are set correctly to master/slave. The bios is set to boot from the correct source (CD to start – remember to switch to your preferred boot choice once done installing). • Drivers for MB, video, audio, keyboard, mouse and anything else that plugs in. • Internet passwords, installation instructions and your ISP phone # • Anti-virus, malware (spyware doctor, search and destroy etc.) and firewall software ready with cd keys. • Be disconnected from the Net. New install : • Since all your Hardware is set up properly… • Drop in the CD and reboot. • XP will start installing. If you need to install 3rd party RAID drivers you should be ready to interrupt the install once prompted about 30-45 seconds into the initial boot. • You’ll reach a screen which allows you to partition your HD’s and select one for installation. Things to keep in mind : o Having you pagefile.sys which will be located in the root directory of the windows installation on a completely separate HD will increase performance. When Your OS requires information from an application that requires use of the pagefile.sys,you are forcing multiple data streams down a single channel. Partitioning the drive does not solve this. o I like to partition like this heavy work area : low work area. This allows for high performance requirement software, like games, to be kept defragged at all times in the low work area. While HD space which is continually changed, added, deleted and accessed can be kept isolated. This allows your XP root drive and its pagefile.sys to function with an application, like a game, with high performace. o If you only have a single drive, I would partition a section for your OS with room for anything else you want there… always leave extra from other software and 15% more so defrag works well. • Here you will also choose between FAT 32 vs. NTFS. You choose, here are some pointers with the better of the two: o Security -> NTFS. o Compatibility with earlier Windows > FAT 32. o Efficiency -> NTFS. o Durability -> NTFS. • Format all the drives in the same file system, or you’ll face serious issues at a later date, and continue with the installation. • Everything at this stage is self explanatory… just follow the screens. Skip the internet setup wizard, you will do that manually later. • OK! Installed, it will be screaming about drivers… the choice is yours to let windows use its database of drivers or you use the factory ones provided with the hardware… I like to mix everything up! • Get your MB/chipset drivers on. Install your video, audio and the rest now if you don’t need updated versions from the Net. • Set up the internet, don’t get online yet. • Install your anti-virus, firewall and all the anti-malware software. • Get online. • Update your anti-virus, firewall and all the anti-malware software. • Update windows using… windows update. • Update all the drivers. • Install everything else. If you did all that right, and have not conflicts then it sounds like heat, as mentioned above, or you've damaged some hardware. You could do a HD error check. (please recheck your drivers though[vid/mobo/bus controller/usb controller/sound/etc], it is a biggie) If that is all checked off as OK, then do what Eagle said, again
  9. I just checked EBay, and there are plenty available if you live in the US. You shouldn't have a problem picking one up cheapish there.
  10. I think I fall into that category. I've been off modding Fallout for the last year or so, and got rather sidetracked from my love of Star Wars. Dropped in and you're releasing the team effort mod. Kudos to you on your effort and dedication. I'm aware of the resources needed for large mod projects and really do appreciate your work here. Looking forward to giving it a try.
  11. certainly gives progress, thanx. I have the bmp on the model but it is stretched. I will play with it a bit.
  12. i think 'ask the Masked Guru' would work too
