  1. I'm not sure why neither the GOG nor my Wineskin versions don't work for you. They work for me in Yosemite. If you have access to a machine running 10.5.8 though, the version available on Spiderweb's site should work. If you do end up going the Windows route, you won't need Boot Camp just to play Avernum 3. You can use VirtualBox, which will let you make a virtual machine of a Windows PC (like an emulator). I'd recommend using Windows XP with that, if you can get a hold of a copy, since it is less resource-intensive than later versions and can run Avernum 3 without setting any compatibility settings.

  2. Good point about the Nethergate faction leaders. It says something that none of us remember their names, but I guess they make it in if anyone else from Shadow Vale does.

    Cartumnus is the Celtic chief, and Vibius is the Roman commander.

  3. Actually, a trailer park could possibly be feasible. There's a lot of trailer parks in suburban areas. But they're... trailer parks. They're not usually pleasant places to live.

    Some trailer parks are better than others. There are plenty that fit the "trailer trash" stereotype, but there are also many very nice ones.

  4. Sorry, but I really don't think there are any options for you. Most countries have pretty strict immigration rules, and they are unlikely to accept the application of someone who is not able to work. Also, good luck finding any country with a more liberal sociopolitical climate than Massachusetts.

  5. This was the problem. I was installing off my old, old, old Avernum 2 CD. When I install from the new Avernum 2 - Crystal Souls demo link, it works fine. The graphics and skill tree are so much better that I'll just go with the new version and plunk down the $20 for the full version.

     

    Thanks!

    I you email support@spiderwebsoftware.com with registration number from the demo, your name, and the address you used when you bought the game, they will send you an activation code for free.
  6. I'm also watching Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell on TMNgo. It's a long time since I read the book, so I'm not sure how faithful it is, but I'm very much enjoying it.

    I just watched that last week. It's great.

     

    I'm currently watching A Young Doctor's Notebook because Netflix rightly suggested I would like it. I've also been watching new episodes of Dark Matter, Halt and Catch Fire, The Last Ship, and Ballers as they come out this summer.

  7. would this work on XP? it sounds like any 32 bit OS works, and I don't have a copy of windows 95 lying around(not many people do, I imagine). I do have a copy of XP and setting up a partition running it would be easy enough.

    Yes, as long as the PC you're using is old enough that XP drivers exist for it.
  8. I recently finished Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. I loved the first two thirds of the book and could barely put it down, but, as is quite common with Stephenson novels, the narrative changed direction partway through. I didn't exactly dislike the rest of the book, but it was different, and the ending left me a bit unsatisfied.

  9. If he ever sells his company I love would to see it sold to the creators of Dragon age series (origin,2 and inquisition)

    Can you imagine how for an example a shaper would look? XDXDXDXD

    Avernum: Brought to you by EA Games™.

  10. I'm guessing CenturyLink still pushes updates to it, I've only had it for about six months so unless they shipped it the day they moved to something else...

    It is still updated, and will most likely be for a while. They just switched to this particular series recently, and it is the standard modem for single line VDSL customers along with the C1000A (same hardware but made by Actiontec instead of Zyxel)

  11. Starting from the top, our internet comes in from CenturyLink on a ZyXEL C1000Z modem/router... The modem's builtin wireless AP is not used because it sucks...

    If you think that's bad, you should have seen the one they used before that one. :p

     

    My modem is a Motorola Surfboard SB6121 cable modem. It's connected to my primary router, a TP-LINK TL-WDR4300. I have two gigabit ethernet switches (I don't know the models off the top of my head) hooked up in different areas of the house as well as an Apple AirPort Extreme (which used to be my primary router) and an AiPort Express operating as wireless access points. (It's a big old house, so one AP doesn't get the job done.)

     

    Hezekiah, my personal desktop is a hackintosh running OS X 10.9 (I had some issues getting 10.10 running stably on it when it first came out and haven't put any serious effort into getting it to work since) It has a 3.1GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 with hyper-threading, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 with 1GB of VRAM, and 12GB of DDR3 1600 RAM. The OS is running on a 120GB SSD. It also has 7 HDDs, totaling 19.25TB. This computer is used mostly for file storage and doing CPU-intensive things like video transcoding.

     

    Zechariah, my gaming PC, is microATX system (Portability is useful, since I am frequently moving it back and forth between my desk and my TV, as well as occasionally taking it to LAN parties.) running Windows 8.1. It has a 3.5GH dual-core Intel Core i3 with hyper-threading, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 with 4GB of VRAM, and 8GB of DDR3 1600 RAM. The OS is running on a 100GB SSD, and it also has a 2TB HDD for storage.

     

    Melchizedek, my laptop, is a Mid-2012 15" Retina MacBook Pro running OS X 10.10. It has a 2.6 quad-core Intel Core i7 with hyper-threading, an Nvidia GeForce GT 650M with 1GB VRAM, 16GB of DDR3 1600 RAM, and a 768GB SSD.

     

    Zephaniah, my work desktop, is a fairly anemic PC running Windows 7, since I do my job through a hosted VM. It has a 2.5GHZ Intel Pentium Dual-Core, an Nvidia GeForce 8800GTS with 640MB of VRAM, an Nvidia GeForce 8400GX with 512MB of VRAM (two GPUS to drive 4 displays), 6GB of DDR2 800 RAM, and a 120GB SSD.

     

    Nehemiah, my 3rd generation Apple TV.

     

    Pluto, my 32GB retina iPad mini.

     

    Anubis, my 64GB iPhone 6.

     

    Alexandria, my Kindle Voyage.

     

    i have a number of unarmed devices as well: an HP printer (not sure what model), an AppleWatch, a Panasonic plasma TV (I never actually use any of the "smart" functions on this), a Samsung CableCard box, a PS3, a PS4, a Wii (for playing GameCube games over component video), a Wii U, a PSP (rooted with various emulators installed), a PS Vita, and a 3DS XL.

     

    My housemate has a desktop PC with specs similar to my gaming computer, a MacBook Air, two iPhones 5S (work and personal), a second generation Apple TV, a PS3, and an XBox One.
