The Wizardry series had real choice, real multiple endings and, in the sequels, it even had multiple beginnings. I'm not talking about the same ending with different colors and slightly different text. I'm talking about, picking who wins a war level of different. Speaking of conversations...

This is not the movie about slavery that America needs. This movie will not make any competent white person, racist or not, feel guilty or upset. If you want a movie about slavery designed to upset a racist white man, Django Unchained comes a lot closer. A racist white man is more likely to...

Interestingly, I'm in the same situation. I wonder how many people who get the reference would remember Lord Bowler.

Anyone who thinks this is cruel should ask themselves what would have happened if the next person the kid bit actually was HIV positive? That glorious jerk might have just saved that kid's life. Were there nicer ways he could have done it? Sure. Would they have been as effective? Very...

I'd suggest finding a copy of the Ultimate Wizardry Archives and try starting at the first game and just go from there. If you don't have the patience, you can skip the first three. Honestly though, you could jump in on any of them and just go with the default start. If you just really don't...

I'd have to say the Wizardry series holds the crown for best story. I, personally, favor Wizardry 7. How many games out there have multiple beginnings, multiple endings, allow you to actually talk to NPCs instead of just picking between a handful of choices and even do quests or start events...

I'd get a netbook for work and a desktop for gaming. Actually, that's what I've already done. My netbook was $250 and does all the work stuff I could need and has a rather awesome battery life. My desktop (core components were in the <=$500 range but I built it years ago; prices are even...

Cheap and gaming laptop don't exactly go together. If you had some realistic expectations like a cheap gaming desktop, you might actually find a reason to play on a PC. This is what I would call entry level for a gaming laptop. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834157822...

At the moment, I'm pretty much using Windows 7 64bit exclusively.

If you're a programmer, invisible certainly is a color. It's the color you pick to be transparent and hence invisible. No, it's not always the same color since it is whatever color the programmer chooses. However, a shade of white or black are popular choices.

On the software side, I know several programming languages and I'm familiar with a lot of server and diagnostic software. I know enough to write pretty much any program I could want but I'm usually too distracted with other things to really commit to a project that I'm not passionate about and...

$9.97 for the 3 separately $9.98 for Gold + Valor At least, that's what I'm seeing. Still, it's cheaper than the complete pack.

I'm sure the rise of sales has nothing to do with the absolutely insane sale you often find on Steam. I swear, Steam sales are like a new form of crack. Who can avoid the allure of game bundles where the games are as cheap as $1 or less per game? It doesn't take long for those $5-$10 games...

My first one was a small cobblestone fort. I eventually rebuilt it and expanded it to a full size stone fort with glass ceilings and large fortified walls complete with small square guard towers. How I wish I could build a true spiral tower though.

Yes and no. It's pretty much up to the whim of a judge as to whether it's legally binding. Most EULAs are so ridiculous that they've been pretty much tossed out entirely. Others have only portions upheld in court. In the end, you end up with a definite maybe. It's hard to say whether...
