I don't subscribe to any organized religion, mainly because people twist religion to suit their purposes. I'm also very interested in astronomy and the universe. I love science fiction like Star Trek, Frank Herbert (Dune series, etc), etc. The universe or multiverse is practically infinite I...

I beat it! Now I'm trying to get to 1 million on that pinball game. Last night I got to about 600,000.

Really! Weird! They probably thought it was depleting your "life energy" or something like that. Some of the stuff they thought back in the old days seems pretty far-out now. Breath was your soul. Illness was caused by magic spells and curses (witches, wizards, etc ...). That was before they...

I never use it, either. Once in a while, I click on it for fun to see what comes up.

I got a laptop chill mat like the one you suggested, Kayden, and it's helping. It's keeping the temps around 85 degrees during gameplay. By the way, I'm almost finished DNF! I've had a great time playing this game.

I've been playing this for a while, and it's definitely awesome! Lots of variety, realism, and fun!

Thanks for taking the time to help out. I figured it was an issue with my graphics card drivers. I just updated my driver to the latest version. The problem has actually gotten worse, so we'll see if this makes any difference. I'm not overclocking the card; I'm running it at stock speeds.

I just got it today. I've been enjoying it so far. Unfortunately, when I got Duke to sit down in his throne the game crashed! I believe the error was IDirect3DVertexBuffer9::Lock lock failed. Is it just me or is software just getting buggier with each passing day? My display and wireless...

It's truly sickening. The world is just getting scarier and scarier. And Canada is one of the safest places in the world.

Here's an interesting article on specifically what happened at 3D Realms throughout DNF's super-long development period: http://www.wired.com/magazine/2009/12/fail_duke_nukem/. It's a very interesting read.
