Best RPG ever?

Here are my three; Fallout II: Post Apocalyptic games own me big time. My first introduction into turn based RPGs, and I love it. I love the dry humour used throughout the game, and the futuristic but somewhat archaic setting. Great character interactions. Baldurs Gate II: Simply Amazing...

Geforce 4 MX Problems

Gday, I recently bought a MSI Geforce MX 440 8xAGP for $75AUS and I'm installing it in dads computer. I thought it, as a Graphics card, would be simple and routine like graphics card installs usually are. I was gravely misinformed. Upon installing everything was going well. I had slotted it...

Vice City and Radeon- Please Help me!!

Same thing happened to me, well, sorta. I tried to burn a backup of my savegame, and for some strange reason it corrupted my save games (somehow, don't ask how) and I was quite near the end. :/

I know its cool to bash MS and all. But what can linux do that windows cant.

Yeah, I wasn't very specific. It just seems whenver I try to do a driver update/install or a new piece of software (that isn't included in the OS) it quite often (30% of the time - Guess) fails at installation. For someone who isn't very adept at diagnosing linux problems it can be quite...

Voodoo3 3500: Dead or not?

I don't like your chances, it sounds buggered. Probably a good 4 or 5 years old tho? I'd say a ti4200 would be your best bet.

Linux has a steep learning curve, but I like the way you can customise your GUI quite alot. Its pretty daunting for new users. I'm a seasoned Windows person, but with linux, you try to install a driver/software/update and it just doesn't work most of the time, and for a new user, it doesn't...

Freelancer. Any good? and what problems are there with it?

Its an absolutely fricking awesome game... until you pass it. I played it nearly non-stop until I passed it, then it became boring. As someone said, after you finish it, its just levelling up, no objectives. The non-story missions are all the same. Go here kill this. Go here, kill this, bring...

You could try running the installers/games in compatibility mode (emulating windows 98). Make shortcut to whatever it is, then go to the properties and the compatibility tab. Other than that, your left out in the rain. :(

Great Game Graphics: Who Cares?

Another voice in the choir here. Graphics don't make a game. Unreal 2 has very great graphics, but the gameplay was more than lacking. Same with devestation. Games with crappy graphics are also fun. GTA3, Crazy Taxi, Deus Ex. But games with both good graphics and gameplay are the best...

Generals / Hints/help wanted

I too had trouble on this mission (hardest difficulty). If you keep your resources under $5000, they don't scudstorm you (but I didn't know that). Spread out your base alot so if they do, its not damaging. Get the level 3 cash steal ability. Steal GLAS little base. Then capture it. Build two...

Good Helicopter game?

Comanche 4 = Arcade game with quite purdy graphics. FS2002 = Flying Choppers with pretty much completely realistic physics. Fun. Haven't really played any others. Operation Flashpoint has choppers.

If you could operate one piece of military machinery, which would it be?

RAH66 Comanche. Who could resist flying a stealth chopper. Now those things are super high tech. A SR71 Blackbird would be cool for the speed factor. F1-17 for the comfort.
