Good job! And I prefer the "Grand Entrance". heh

Hovering the mouse over the instant graemlins with opera does not give you the description of the icon (i.e. "big grin" for the dude showing his teeth). Instead you get some javascript reference. This is a deal breaker for me. (j/k) edit: I mean the instant graemlin list when you are in edit or post reply mode.

I just put a 9800 Pro in mine and I'm very happy. Whether you go Nvidia or ATI just make sure its a dx9 card. And if you go Nvidia, make sure its not one of those early FX cards that were louder than a vaccuum cleaner. Unless you like the ambience of a vaccuum cleaner of course.

I went ahead and downloaded it to give it a try. I like it. I especially like the multiple windows and built in pop up blocker. I've had few issues with websites although it seems to choke on espn.com although thats not surprising. That site is a pig. My one complaint. I can't seem to find a way to reduce the size of the "main bar". It takes up way too much real estate but this could be strictly due to the ad on the right of it. Will getting rid of this ad by buying Opera allow me to shrink the main bar? Now how do I uninstall IE6?

quote: Do AMD chips draw more power/generate more heat than intel then? Generally yes. Although the latest Athlon processors are nowhere near as bad as they used to be.

Welcome to our obsession! Planetary bases cannot be captured in BCM (or BCMG). Capturing meaning converting them to your race/caste. You can capture space based star stations however. You will be able to capture planet based stations in BCG though. Also, INS stands for insurgent not inserection.

I'm sure you are just trying to be witty but that style doesn't work here. Imagine you are in a USMC boot camp and you just arrived. Good luck.

quote: Beat ya to it. And the convention is to use Night at the Movies - ..... Ooops, sorry.

quote: Points off because a girl in it isn't hot??? Yup, poor casting. I mean, isn't the girlfriend suppose to be hot? Very good movie though. Reminded me of another of my favs., "Changing Lanes".

In case anyone missed this. My apologies if this was previously posted but everyone needs to see this. ROFL material.

quote:And there is speculation that the late release of the latest game and the buggy nature (hence lower sales), helped tank the movie. I'm sure thats true but the only thing that is holding the franchise together at this point is Angelina Jolie. At least I hope thats true. Cuz everything else left of the franchise sucks.

quote: Don't forget to look a the spelling of Millennium on the box Maybe Millennium is spelled Millenium in Russian.

Very cool movie mostly due to great acting by two very fine actors (Forest Whitacker and Colin Farrell). And I suppose Joel Schumacher should get some credit. 9/10 with one point taken off because although the wife is hot, the girlfriend is not.

quote: Yeah, it's getting pretty annoying with these game companies who've made their fortunes from PC gamers to snub them with first release for console or just console only Thats what happens when deep pockets MS or Sony comes knocking on the door and says "Does this pile of money convince you that your game only belongs on my console?".

The battle system is like Baldur's Gate (the PC version, not Alliance). Its real time but can be paused at any time to give commands (use abilities, items etc). Its stats based, not twitch. Its very good, just like everything else about this game.

Hmmm, the Sept. issue is out already? My latest issue is August and there is no mention of BCM in Trotter's column.

VLAD the Pirate in BCM the Movie.

My BCM CD travels from my CD rack (ever hear of those? ) to my CD-ROM drive and back. Thats it. Whats wrong with you people? I treat my BCM CD better than I do... NM.
