Isn't that the one where you draw your own maps?
If you want, yeah. You can switch to auto map too.
Haven't played too much. Spent a while deliberating on what to call my guild and only ran through the dungeon for around 10 minutes.
Switch to automap?! Is there any advantage to drawing your own then?
Other than it's actually fun drawing them yourself, no. The whole system works surprisingly well and isn't at all tedious or cumbersome.
EDIT: After checking out the manual, it seems that auto map only paints the floors. You still have to place the walls, doors, treasure icons, etc.
I need to pick that up, sounds awesome.
lol @ "Riot Act"!
Is that Mr. Satan at the bottom of the cover?
Everytime I see that cover I think I'm looking at misplaced fanart.
LOL yeah.
And MS wonders why they don't seem to get the Japanese audience sometimes.
They wouldn't have gotten them to buy Crackdown no matter what they did.
Well, okay, maybe if they had reworked the agents into animu pedo robots.
I'd buy it.
If the Japanese wouldn't buy Crackdown, they are making a better decision than I did in that area.
Halo 3 Beta > every game released so far this year.
That wouldn't be saying a whole hell of a lot, but I still doubt it. When I get around to giving a shit, I'll have to try it though.
QFT. Bacon stomping people out in VIP = awesome. It's good to see TNL'ers playing Halo again. :tu:Quote:

Yes, I know I can build my own. I don't have the time to research and price the individual components. I know actually building it isn't difficult at all. However, if and when something goes wrong, I don't want to have to figure out which of my components is not working properly and having to deal with its manufacturer.

While you're throwing away money, send some my way.Quote:

The Dell, with my employee discount, provides comparable performance with actual customer service to back it up at a price that's not vastly different from building my own.Quote:

Trial, just make a thread, and people will link you to newegg.com product pages. That's IT. It's not a difficult search at all, TNL will build you the exact same Dell for a fraction of the price and link you to everything you need. And newegg.com is amazing at returns, so don't do that fallback.
edit: Okay, $500 is nice. Go for it.
You're excused.Quote:

I bought a Dell a few years ago when I didn't know any better. Not only is it impossible to upgrade because of the limitations they put on the boards, but even a "high-end" model will eventually reach its limits quickly.
Once I put my own together, I couldn't believe how much better it performed with only minimal upgrades to what the Dell's specs were.
I know how you feel about apparent lack of upgradablility. Our family computer was a Dell Dimension a few years back and installing an internal DVD burner was nigh impossible. The XPS encourages access and upgradablilty as part of its product description, however. Tool-less access, empty pci-e slots and the like.Quote:

If you liked The Magnficient, you should check out the follow-up. A nice list of guest artists such as Rhymefest, J Live, Method Man, CL Smooth, Big Daddy Kane, and more are on the album.
Bah, it was $10. It's not the end of the world for $10 when the gf & I will both play it.Quote:

Battlefield 2: Deluxe Edition: I had some big-time issues with this game when it originally came out. It outright refused to install on my computer, and no one at the time (least of all EA's shitty tech support) could tell me why. The reason, I later discovered, was a buried software conflict that was causing the optical drive to shit itself. Anyway, two years and a new computer later, I picked up a used copy of this using some trade credit I won at a Samurai Shodown 2 tournament at the local used bookstore. Looks like fun. If any of you still play this, let me know, I'm down for a game.
A bunch of back issues of Cook's Illustrated: This is one of the nicest magazines I've ever seen. Each issue is printed on high-quality paper, and every page is filled with concise, useful information about cooking: what knives are best, how to cook a pot roast, how to choose a cut of meat, how to cook chicken breasts, etc. etc. etc. If you like to cook, you absolutely MUST check out this magazine.
sounds interesting. is it something B&N or Borders carries?Quote:

Been meaning to get the last of the Lodoss War books that I don't have for awhile now. I didn't realize Chronicles of the Heroic Knight was 6 volumes until earlier, as I always only saw up to Volume 5 in whatever store I went to.
I love the Matrix.
I got TMNT and Pirates 3 for 360.
Should be fun achievement whore games. Although I love the Pirates 3 demo, it's damn fun.
Also looking to get Lost seasons 1 and 2, but hell they are 65 bucks each up here in canuck

Took me long enough. Might finally have a PS3 next month so I can start getting Blu-Ray movies as well.
I'll probably pick up the Matrix collection soon, I'll bet the Animatrix looks fucking awesome in HD.All the covers are shitty, which is something I never understood considering how fantastic the art design for everything else involved is. It's like they figured everyone already knew their brand name, so they just handed the cover design to the janitor to save money.Quote:

Yep, Warner has simply thrown in the standard-def discs from the DVD release of 'The Ultimate Matrix Collection' as double-sided discs. The menus, encoding, 480p video, audio formats, etc., are all exactly the same. In all honesty, this feels like a bit of a cheat. I suspect many who are plunking down cash to purchase (or re-purchase, as the case may be) 'The Ultimate Matrix Collection' on HD DVD are expecting high-definition content across the board. And while I can't argue with the sheer volume of content here, the packaging on the outer box just doesn't make it very clear the full extent of the standard-def extras on much of the set. If quality is what you are after here (and not just the content) you may be disappointed.
That said, here's an overview of the 'Matrix Experience" bonus DVDs. 'The Animatrix' is the main attraction of Disc 4. Spurred by the success of the original 'Matrix,' the Wachowskis and Warner enlisted seven top Japanimation artists to create a series of nine short films, with the intention of utilizing different animation forms and styles to expand and deepen the 'Matrix' mythology as preparation began on the two sequels.
wait.....they sell a HD set and two of the discs aren't HD?
I don't rightly care if the behind-the-scenes footage is HD as I don't need to see the pores of the best boy grip, but to have one of the main attractions in SD in the middle of an HD collection? That's fucking bullshit.
Thanks for the knowledge.
Yeah, maybe one day there will be an ULTIMATE Ultimate Matrix Collection.
