I own the NWN collector's editon that contains both NWN and NWN 2, plus expansions. I have played the original 3 times since it was launched (which means it's unforgivable I forgot to mention it). But have yet to play the sequel. And I doubt I ever will. The obligatory patch process for the...

EDIT: Sorry for the wall of text. Like with many other games, BG needs to be put into an historical perspective if you want to enjoy it. Building too much expectations may not do you good. I'm uncertain how the enhanced edition will play out for those who haven't played it before, while I'm...

So, recently something was brought on IRC I'd like to see discussed further. Beer Pasteurization. This isn't a widely known thing among beer advocates. The process is simply described: Beer is warmed up to a certain temperature, before or after being bottled, in order to remove any bugs and...

Indeed. I consider this a loss, more than a gain. I'd rather they kept a printed version. Even if abridged. Due to the recent debate around the possible court case against 5 distributors of digital books, I commented with a friend about my desire for the state to win and digital book prices to...

Not just that, but even on a 1440x900 screen the 560 Ti may pay off sometime in the near future, as games become more demanding; especially concerning the quite possible widespread adoption of tessellation.

Hmm, I see. So this is sort of what we can expect from the next Baldur's Gate? Pass!

Recommended reading on this matter: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Microsoft-Windows-8-Consumer-Preview-Mike-Bibik-Metro-Bar,15007.html You should also visit the FixingWindows8 site this article refers too. As for Chris Pirillo, he may be a stranger to some of you, not sure. But he runs one...

Microsoft and everyone else. Meanwhile, a sizable and important part of the Windows customer base is exactly businesses. You know, the ones that didn't adhere en masse to Windows Vista exactly because of the big changes to UI that invariably force companies to incur into training costs and...

Just so you know, I was cheering for the aliens all this time.

The motherboard thought occurred to me, but kudos on the underclocking tip!

I sure hope not. I had to go through another read of the press release. And I can see where this is seen: I think it's a matter of interpretation and a poor choice of words on behalf of Scott Pritchett, VP of Linux Platform Software (unless it's intentional to leave us wondering). NVIDIA...

Bad security policy. I'd let through anyone who couldn't remember what hotel they were staying. A terrorist would never make that mistake.

The point is exactly that there is no distro that is everything out of the box. What people want is a distro tailored to their needs. That does what they want, the way they want. Well, that's exactly what distros like Arch, Gentoo and Lunar are for... and to another extent minimalist distros...

Yes, well, I think they should then be focusing on other things instead of distros readiness. Like, oh I dunno, agreeing to a common and standard sound API for Linux for instance? But no, they prefer to pretend Linux is ready for the masses and its the distros that are ruining it for everyone...

Hmm.. sort of Thar. The time and timezone settings are crucial for systems to operate properly. Naturally, on a home user environment this isn't so all the time. It's essentially the same problem of wireless connections that you point out (in my view, correctly). But OpenSuse (and here I'll...

He's well know for his ran..., hmm, outspoken manners having been on quite a few flame wars. From Minix and Linux, to C++ and C, along with distros, Linux DEs, revision control systems, GNU, FOSS, etc etc etc Some of the things he ran.., speaks about, are true. Although less and less I find a...

What does he care? And why doesn't Daniela just switch to another distro? Why does Linus Torvalds have to make a drama out of everything? This is Linux, not Windows. People have a choice. Move to another distro and shut your face.

Moving on, let's see what you can use to learn how to play the game. --- As said on the review, Paradox isn't exactly known for its comprehensive manuals. Similarly, if -- and when -- they do add tutorials to their games, these are usually very simple and introduce only key game concepts...

This is precisely why I don't like you!

I start here a series of posts where I will got a bit deeper into Crusader Kings II and add a few extras. Let's start with the game musical score. --- Crusader Kings II comes with great music. Like many games by Paradox, the pieces are original and composed specifically for the game. With...
