Tried to play Broken Sword 4: Angel of Death again. Birthday pressie from my bro, that I requested. Death to pc more like. I'm gonna have to put that other memory stick back in, the one that potentially causes crashes but I could never verify 100% that it did, it having no issues under numerous memtests. The game just doesn't not play well on my ( Read more... )

I don't watch the show but I remember quite a number of my flist do, so thought to point out Pogo.com, the EA small games site, has Blood Ties game - free trial is available.

VLC does do what I want but bizarrely with the wizard it gives it in 4:3 whereas playing about with the open disc and stream/save option results in ( Read more... )

I still enjoyed it just enough to keep playing and finish it but I have ( Read more... )

Well, weekend has been both good and bad. Pretty sick yesterday, spent all day in bed sleeping, trying to sleep or reading. Finished Terry Pratchett's "Making Money," which as I'd heard suggested was not as good as "Going Postal". Still entertaining but not quite as good as expected. I've actually got through nearly all his books now, bar spin off ( Read more... )

There are two old pc games that I have been wanting to find for sometime. Not knowing what they're called is the problem and it drives me partially crazy every time I think of them and contemplate how they might be lost in the folds of the net, if they even exist anywhere anymore ( Read more... )
