Before christmas I was struck by the very essence of bad luck. I managed to fry the two best graphic cards I've ever had. The ASUS X6800XT and the ATi X1800GTO. I did this and I didn't know that...
Dark Messiah: Might and Magic. Old pc-game series created by the now defunkt 3DO. I still remember Might and Magic VI The Mandate of Heaven fondly. It's funny how that game has left me with a...
As the wave of summer hit the country so did the noise wave from the coolers in my pc hit my ears, unfortunately not loud enough to make me deaf, but enough to give me a headache. Often been...
Suit, gun, feet... Feet? AIIIIGH!!! I GOT NO FEET?!! Obviously what used to be virtually half a life is now only a half-life. The missing part has become so very evident. Lots of eye candy and a...
I have been looking at this card for awhile until I finally decided to give it a try. Default setting of the card is 8 pixel pipelines, 4 vertex shaders, 300MHz core and 700MHz (2x350MHz) ram. I...
Hm... My current system isn't compatible with Windows 98 and I miss the things that were only available with that dos based system. The idea of pulling out and inserting other components that are...
I am not too happy about, that I recently upgraded a fake pro card to a real pro card. Especially not since it was the same number series. From Radeon 9600 to Radeon 9600 PRO. Basicly a measly 200...

My first complete game was a regular hack'n slash. I heard it was very combat oriented and so I didn't really do much questing. I went straight for the temple in Hommlet, on to the moathouse and...
After some initial unrest and several retries I have managed to get myself to level 6 and onto something. Still on my 'first' mission if I can call it that and I'm already closing in on the Temple....
I cannot fathom the amount or the magnitude of the praise KOTOR2:The Sith Lords has gotten. I've completed the game 5 times with dark and light side and male and female characters and tried out...

I'm back to basics. Anarchy Online was mostly confusing, extremely boring and severely crippled compared to the real thing. Only plus are the Graphics in GUI, but is it really needed as long as...
Was upgrading my Win98 to WinXP PRO 2 weeks ago. Everything went smooth with Upgrades, but my screen was looking a bit odd. Device manager was fine, ATI RADEON 9600 PRO, but VGASave in my...

I can still run the old dos stuff, I can run most of the current stuff and the new stuff is becoming a real problem, since MS terminated support for Win98. Maybe it's really time for a major...
