The Raven Council

Is there reputation for taking a useful and nice thread and taking it somewhere bizarre, destroying it's appeal?

Always true. If you're waiting for the next Hot Thing to come out and prices to drop, you can keep on waiting forever. Just get the best bang for your buck right now, which would be what Pyx says.

oh and dont say reliability as my regular drives have never had a single problem Good for you. I've lost all my data twice in my life due to hard drive failure (well on the second time, almost everything in My Documents was rescuable to an extent). One of the times actually involved The Smoke comin...

Omg Pyx... Now, I've know for years that The Onion is the place to go for lulz, but this thing... As you all have frequently noticed, not being a native speaker of the Queens Language I'm somewhat insensitive to how bad swearing sounds in English. In Finnish language and culture, it's not such a hug...

Two luls, a double feature! One gaming related, and one not. I recently ranted on GChat about a guy named Tim Minchin , who makes songs that bring the funny. I got mild interest from the guild, probably out of politeness, but I'll take what I can get. Check him out. Also, Penny Arcade brought to my ...

On a recommendation from a friend I got the Asus-made 4870 card. Bad call. Installed latest chipset reference drivers, as anyone will tell you to do, with the result that the game kept crashing, freezing and locking. This, apparently, is a know feature of the chipset. Tried manufacturer drivers, but...

I quite like the way my new hat looks. First I thought it looks a bit like a gimp mask, but I don't know. It's somehow very Vikingy.

I don't know if this is helpful for you guys but I finished playing the game months ago, on my sofa as Jaera pointed out. So if you guys ever get to the stage where you want to talk about the missions or gameplay things like that, give me a nudge.

(Rant removed for TLDR-reasons) What the hell happened to: 1) install 2) play Curiously, that's exactly what I did on my system. Except for part 1). I put the disc into my Xbox 360, went to get a glass of ginger ale , and started playing. Seriously though, I've been a PC man my entire life but GTA ...

What's going on? I know I for one was glad to see Valeo finally decided to join the rest of us. For me at least, he's always been an integral part of the appeal of the game. But then again, I'm old VA cadre and new to RC. But that's my two cents.

Having now played hours and hours of Fallout 3 on both XBOX360 and PC I have to say I love it. The system is surprisingly playable on the 360, not cumbersome at all. VATS actually makes the combat easy and fun. When you try to aim with the 360 pad without VATS, you're in trouble. Then again, with th...

Are you playing PC or 360? I've been a PC man my entire life, but I played GTA IV on the 360 and it was nowhere near as awkward as I thought it would be. Oblivion worked reasonably well on 360, so I'm wondering if I should try Fallout on 360 as well. Then again, PC is more modable.

Well met, brothers in arms! I think I've met most of you one time or another on a guild alliance raid, but this introduction may serve to freshen your memories and to introduce me to those who I've not yet had the pleasure of meeting. I've been with VA almost my entire WoW career, only dropping WoW ...
