Reply to My DVD drive is packing in, what to get as an external DVD drive? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

No problem Ozzy38, yea it think larger hard drives and cheaper Ram have made constant disc access some what obsolete, I have built my last 2 PC's and am not planning on buying a pre-built one ever again. I like knowing what is in it and how it is put together. I will not pay some computer shop $45USD just to open the case. About Blu-Ray, who knows I still don't have one hell my monitor max. is 720P so I would have to spend some money to really use it for movies. One day something will replace

Reply to My DVD drive is packing in, what to get as an external DVD drive? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Yea Ozzy38, you would have to install it yourself. Not difficult at all Just open the case, find an empty drive bay use the cable and screws that came with it. you need to make sure that you get the right drive for your computer, Serial ATA or IDE are the most common choices right now. Plug in your cables in the right slot, There should be an install guide that comes with it that should have pictures of the corresponding slots. BEFORE you open the case make sure to unplug the main pow

Reply to Honest Opinions Wanted about State of the Game - newb friendly yet? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

The 1.1 patch is supposed to be in the works, hopefully it will come out this week! I have not had too many issues except for the occasional CTD in long games as the map gets populated and more exposed. Could be an ATI driver issue but I have seen post from Nvidea owners having a similar issue. My suggestion is that if you like this style of game, then go ahead an get it. I have been in since the Beta trials opened in March and it has steadily gotten better. The 1.1 patch is supposed to smoot

"your anger is a gift" to quote some RATM, I saw an article about this and kinda of smiled also. There is the idea that can't put us all in jail, prison inmates are notorious for their lack of a tax base! And they don't go to see movies either so the theaters lose!

Man. there are plenty of good internal combo drives of the Blue-Ray verity out there for less than $100.00 USD. check out http://www.maximumpc.com. They have never steered me wrong. Look for the Best Of tab and shock and amaze at the amount of free info you are getting.They even break them down to price points for the budget minded. But I like Lite On products for internal drives, why are you using an external drive for games anyway, bad idea for data transfer rate and forces the drive itself

I never seemed to get the Imbue Champion spell to work so I quite trying. The Essence potions seem to be plentiful though, give 2 of them to the hero of your choice and you have a new magic user. It takes a bunch of leveling up before they become of any use though!

That is my point Delmorth, they don't target Pirates, they target people who can't defend themselves and they do it with a govt. sanction. Like a privateer or a bounty hunter. Or as the CORP. OF AMERICA allows them to do. Feeling cheap yet?

Reply to It Would Be Nice To Make More Clear Where To Go To Complete Quests in WOM Support Elemental Forums

I kinda of thought that they were progressive, in the since that as you completed a quest , it's point of origination would disappear. The suck part comes when the point of completion is on the other side of an opponents controlled land! Otherwise I agree there needs to be a better way to keep up with what you are doing quest wise!

Wells said 3DGrunge, would Chess be a better game in 3D? It might look better but the core game is there.Knowing the pieces and how they move turn the game into something that you can take and play anywhere. That is what makes it a classic game. Now where is Starcraft the board game?

And as much as I don't agree with LightStar's many other statements, I must agree that you avoid a whole shitload problems by not involving yourself in questionable actions!

Reply to United States Government Officially Fighting Piracy in Life, the Universe and Everything Elemental Forums

Skeether makes the point as it seems that, and I am trying to parse this , if you take a tangible object, cash or A fungible commodity, then that is theft. As I have stated Piracy is not universally stated and understood to be theft! IP, Music, and Applications of Software, also Graphic Art are not clearly defined. Thus that really turns it into a moral issue, in my mind anyway. With that said again I feel that the use of a Government Entity to protect your profits is wrong and you should not

Why didn't the world stop in 1992 back when it seemed like a breve new world? Answer is there is no Golden Age until it is long passed into memory, that is when it gets good. As per a recent question " why don't we go back to gas light to employ people?" !

Reply to Losing faith in Elemental in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Well said Froggy, since I got in to the Beta in March I have seen much improvement and I feel an honest effort has been made to make this game the monster you had in mind. Hell it is based on a book you wrote, liking the story so far. I now know what the Midnight stones are from. The old story of the father, son and a mule comes to mind. If you set out to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one, including yourself!

Everybody is making some good points but I feel the financial leverage used by the movie and music industry to pressure the government into doing it's dirty work is wrong. If they feel like they have had their IP stolen then they should use their resources to gather evidence and bring a civil suit. Granted the ball is already rolling and I think we have not seen the worst of this yet, what happens when someone can't meet the settlement price? Do we stock the Federal prisons with illegal

Reply to United States Government Officially Fighting Piracy in Life, the Universe and Everything Elemental Forums

LightStar what I believe is that the actors and production people should get paid and they are! They are not the ones pushing this issue, it is the movie and music corporations that are giving money to the politicians to make laws that guarantee their profits that is what I am bitching about. I hate thieves and lairs equally, unfortunately they are the ones making the rules that we have to live by.
