I just got to Dantooine in my first playthrough on the PC since it came out; the prospect of going back through Taris again is mind-numbing.

Knew? Or hoped?

Part of my job is identifying pump replacement parts, which sounds about as exciting as it is. Our main manufacturer, WAY back in like 1995, developed a program for Windows 95 that's never been updated; it's still accurate (we don't really change numbers; for the one item that is changed, the seal kit, we just do the…

I'd say "Baldur's Gate" beat it to the punch on being the first D&D game on iOS, at least, but this looks pretty cool.

Be very glad. I was happy when she started it, because she really loves it, but it's one of those hobbies that's endlessly expensive.

There's a whole separate line of special acid and lignin free papers and inks and photo inks and stickers and whatever bullshit that people who are into this use to prevent that; I have no idea if it WORKS, but in a way the printing of pictures is a better way to do this; there's still an original digital, untouched…

My wife does a lot of scrapbooking, so she still prints photos out. She usually just uses our printer, which does a nice enough job; there are times she takes the images to a drug store, but really I don't see a difference. She does that mostly when it's a bulk group of pictures, or when we're out of ink (because…

A shame it all stemmed from a communication breakdown.

If you have any interest in any kind of sporting event, it's next to impossible to dump cable. I'd have done it a long time ago if I could find even a borderline easy workaround to watch Premier League and NFL games.

Any news on whether or not it can be used as a HTPC, to either stream content or allow it to be stored on the device and played back? That's mostly what I use my X-Box for right now.

Let's say I wanted to turn certain devices off at a specified time (kid's laptops and an iPod touch of my daughter's), but wanted to leave everything else on; would this allow for that?

There are things that I, ah, "obtain outside of standard distribution channels", but games have never been one of those things; I downloaded one once, and it didn't play right and it was way more of a pain than it was worth. That's just me, though.

The pistol isn't BAD, at least; it reminds me maybe a little too much of Han Solo's blaster, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I work for a rep of about ten different lines, so we have the best of both worlds; we get the lucrative part replacement money without any of the nagging "having to actually go fix the problem" issues (granted, our margins are slimmer than a contractors, but we also work primarily through distribution, so we always…

Right now I'm in sales (I do inside sales support for HVAC equipment, as well as run our network; since we're a small company, there's a lot of "other responsibilities as assigned"). I'd like to...NOT be in sales. ;-) In actuality, I'm not sure what else I'd do, as it hasn't really been realistic to explore schooling…

Okay, let's ask a version of this question. About a year and a half into my college education, me and my girlfriend (now wife) were in a really bad car accident, and I took a semester off. That semester became like 12 years. I have no debt from my time in school, and make an average salary now, plus really good…

There had damn well better be a fantastic Stefon sketch on this Saturday; he's barely been on all season!

That's actually good to know, because this is literally the only game that's been totally unplayable (Bioshock: Infinite had to be dialed WAY down, but it ran fine once I did that). Maybe I'll look into previous gen cards like the 6670, and worry about putting money aside for a better overall system instead.

Those were about the ones I came up with, too; I don't need it to play maxed out, just to run, but I'll probably go for the nVidia one. It's actually kind of amazing that I've never run into a completely unplayable game before this one, to be honest.

Let's say my computer is capable of running "Witcher 2", except for the huge bottleneck that is my HD 6450 video card. What card could I get for around $100 that would run this behemoth smoothly enough to play, and is this game actually good enough to warrant that kind of an upgrade?
