I switched to MSE after Avast! thoroughly screwed my system and almost turned it into a smoldering wreck.

    The SW community is rather tech-saavy, and my track record at searching for things online is not great. Thus, I thought I'd ask you guys: Which anti-virus software would you recommend I use? I'm looking for something that's low maintenance, works quietly in the background without eating up a ton of resources, is effective, and is free.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated here.

    Why would something that amazing ever be free?
  2. Are you one of the few hypothetical people who still plays this ancient game from time to time? Does the idea of a new scenario still send torrents of blood rushing to your fifth extremity?

     

    Then come play THE LAST BLADES OF AVERNUM SCENARIO EVER MADE!

     

    It's got combat. It's got graphics. It's got words. It's got more words. If you like words and more words stuck together uncomfortably in incoherent sentences then peanut wumpergoose flabberstan fun very!

     

    Are you concerned that you wont have a level appropriate party to play this scenario? It's recommended for first level heroes!

     

    Don't have enough time to experience this glorious masterpiece? Kill your boss and you wont have to ever go back to your job, dummy! Didn't think of that, did you? Now you don't have no excuses to not play this scenario!

     

    I've personally played through this scenario a million times and I still cry about it at night because I know nothing I produce will ever be as beautiful as what I've accomplished here.

     

    Until someone can graciously host it and convert it for MAC users, go here to download the scenario for Windows. The password is "zango".

    In a trilogy, a story is cut up meaninglessly into three parts.

    Agamedone 1: Introducing the the scenario.
    Agamedone 2: Needless filler that does not really advance the scenario.
    Agamedone 3: Rushed ending to the trilogy that does not really tie up any loose ends because hey, it is the end of the trilogy and the suckers who will buy will buy it no matter what.

    Source: Mass Effect series.

    If the first movie/game/book creates a large following, you can cash in with lazy sequels and merchandise, unless you make something so outrageously bad that you're laughed out of Hollywood (e.g The Last Airbender).
  5. I was actually curious about this. How often do you water your kitchen salesman? I'm trying to follow the directions that came with the complimentary pamphlet, but it just doesn't seem like enough and I'm worry he's going to dry out. I can't lose another one, not again.

  6. Imagine a streamlined roguelike with less variability and Michael Bay special effects. Your character comes equipped with a wide variety of demon-seeking murder missiles to make all the bad men pop like loot-filled piñatas.

    It's not amazing, but it's okay.

    The gameplay is, in my opinion, the most involved and exciting in the series.

    However, the loot is boring and the writing is atrocious. The atmosphere is also even further removed from Diablo 1 than Diablo 2 was.
  8. I'm not too fond of squirrels, but they can be pretty entertaining if you catch them in the right moment. I remember watching a couple of squirrels bang repeatedly on my window. I don't know what their motives were, but I assume it was to rile up my terrier, who spent the better part of every day barking his lungs out at every tree rat that ventured onto the porch.

     

    There's also this squirrel that likes lounging in the sun on my porch and on a nearby tree branch.

  9. Video games are more of a service these days than a product. It used to be that when you bought a game, you owned it. By extension, you could then do anything you wanted with that game short of reproducing it and selling it like your own original property. This freedom has become scarce with major titles.

     

    It's a pity, really, since a lot of great games have come from modding.

  10. I think the scenario's ready to be released, but I'd like to get one more tester's input before then, just to make sure it's perfect if anyone else ever actually plays it. If anyone is willing to help out, I'd appreciate it.

    Comedy like this is dedicated to people who take life too seriously. The people who get upset over it are the punchline. When someone is trying to rile you up, the best thing to do is walk away and ignore them because all they're looking for is a reaction.
