There is a link to it in the header of the First Avernum Trilogy forum.

The CD collections do not require activation. They ask for a registration code in case you want to unlock the demo immediately.

To Fallout: Equestria, I say neigh.
Mission to Paris could be good, as could both of the books Actaeon brought up. Cloud Atlas looks especially intriguing.

Bradbury is fine, as long as it isn't Dandelion Wine.

I'll give it a try.

I have no idea. You are correct, but I thought that was the calculation I performed.Originally Posted By: HOUSE of SOriginally Posted By: TyranicusNorth-South distance: 27.108º
East-West distance:: 97.820º
Total Area: 16876.546º2
Tyran, how did you get your total area? It's quite inflated...
27.108 * 97.820 = 2,651.70456 -
That is true to some extent, but I would argue that western US and eastern US are closer culturally than they are to any other country with the possible exception of Canada. I would also submit that you and I, in Colorado and Pennsylvania respectively, are more culturally similar to each other than we are to the deep south.Originally Posted By: ActaeonWhat keeps surprising me is all this Easterners that have been to Europe but not to the Western US. Then I think of how rarely I've been to the East Coast and I realize that culturally and geographically we might as well be two countries.
I think part of the reason many easterners have been to Europe but haven't crossed the Mississippi (I have crossed it, by the way; I just didn't go very far when I did. ) is that when one goes on a vacation, one often wants to go somewhere different. Europe is decidedly more different from the east coast than the west coast is.

The Exile games are 16-bit Windows executables. They will not work on 64-bit Windows at all. Virtually all new PCs have 64-bit processors and come with the 64-bit version of Windows 7. As the games are Windows executables, they will not run natively in DOSBox. If one were to install Windows 3.1 in DOSBox, one can play them (on a Mac as well as a PC btw), but that is not something that a company can actually sell.Originally Posted By: RupertOriginally Posted By: TyranicusProbably? How about definitely.Originally Posted By: RupertAs much as I know that it probably isn't 100% compatible with certain modern OSs, I'd still love to see the original Exile trilogy on there.
I don't know - had it working on Vista and Windows 7 (admittedly with some tweaking for the latter - although now I think of it, I wonder if it'd just run fine in DOSBox). I'd just bet a great deal that the same can't be said for Mac OSs. -

Natural disasters aren't all that common here in central Pennsylvania. We do get blizzards and minor flooding from time to time. Tornados have been known to occur here, but th are hardly a frequent occurrence. Earthquakes are even more rare.

It is, but 16:9 displays are by far the most common displays currently produced.Originally Posted By: Little FyoraThat's only for widescreen 16:9 monitors, I think.

The Windows version does run slightly better than the Mac version, but the wait between turns is still pretty awful late in the game.

Yes, Avernum 6 can be played in windowed mode and at different resolutions, but as I said in my earlier post, Avernum 4 and Avernum 5 cannot.Originally Posted By: Earth Empiresat least Avernum 6 can be played at that resolution, dunno if A4 and A5 can be too but its easy to test and after you've selected resolution for game you can set at game options not change or don't change resolution.
A6 can be played in windowed mode. -
I'm fairly certain even a supercomputer would have issues with Civ 5. It can lag pretty atrociously towards the end of the game on my 3.1GHz i7.Originally Posted By: The RattMostly because I can. I really only notice greater speed when I'm doing computational intensive stuff, like playing a 8 player (7 AI) game of civilization 5.

This mod works on a jailbroken iPad. I just tested it on my iPad 2 running jailbroken iOS 5.1. I installed the files via SSH.

You can still make your own bootable thumb drive for Mountain Lion. That's how I've been installing the various developer previews.Originally Posted By: Master1Originally Posted By: TyranicusLion does not come on a disc. You can purchase a USB installer or make your own with a thumb drive and the downloadable installer.Originally Posted By: HOUSE of SSo you can't boot off CDs? That's stupid. Surely you could boot off another hard drive, though...?
Apple is reportedly not going to release a thumb drive for any future OSs, including 10.8. Any formatting of the hard drive would require an internet connection and contact with the App Store. This is only really a problem if you have to completely replace your hard drive, as you will no longer have a recovery partition through which you can download the OS. So anyone not living near an Apple store would be greatly inconvenienced.
