Here are my three; Fallout II: Post Apocalyptic games own me big time. My first introduction into turn based RPGs, and I love it. I love the dry humour used throughout the game, and the futuristic but somewhat archaic setting. Great character interactions. Baldurs Gate II: Simply Amazing...

Gday, I recently bought a MSI Geforce MX 440 8xAGP for $75AUS and I'm installing it in dads computer. I thought it, as a Graphics card, would be simple and routine like graphics card installs usually are. I was gravely misinformed. Upon installing everything was going well. I had slotted it...

I have ClarkConnect but unfortunately for me it has no Dialup support.

Ok, I have Redhat 7.2 (gnome) installed on this decent box. Basically, I want to have it so I can; A) Share my Dialup internet with it. B) Monitor incoming packets/attacks - Firewall, basically C) Control Bandwidth to individual IPs on my network. I'm not a complete newbie to linux, but I'm...

I loved it toO! REALLY LOVED IT. Theres definitely a sequel tho

He surely must be taking the piss.

Good luck mate.

LOOK OUT! ITS A JEDI!!! Seriously though, doing that would be suprisingly strenuous. Not enough to warrant stopping, but its not a walk in the park... Well, if he was doing it properly.
