I guess you get the Quasipox from the Quasibox. Well if I ever need a new tag, I gues that'll work.


I'm going to do 3 more giveaways, so just MSPaint/Photoshop your wanted game cover and I'll get it to you. I might do some more this Friday, seeing as the sale goes for 16 more days.

The Great Twist
Not to get in the way of all the holiday giving, but I had a question about MoO.

Basically, it looks like a sweet game, but I am horrible at it. Can someone give me a first 25 turn idea of what I'm supposed to be doing? I just got the news report and I'm in last place. So far, I've colonized two other planets, made a couple of fighters, found some planet where a "Guardian" blew the hell out of a scout...I guess I'm not sure how to read the tech screens and what not.

For instance, I wanted to research better ship weapons, so I put some points into that, but ended up researching hand lasers instead. I did browse the manual, but it's over 100 pages, so I'm thinking someone can give me some better hints on what I should be doing.

Didn't really come out how I envisioned it, but, alas, I can only keep on fooling myself that I'll do fine on the finals without studying for so many hours.

Gonna repost my question,

Which creatures game should I get? The first creatures is best rated(by half a star), but I figure the third game will have the most 'refined' gameplay and bugfixes. Or should I go with the trilogy rule that the 2nd installment is usually the best.

Please help me spend my money wisely :qq:

Ok, Quasipox is amazing and he's tugged on my heartstrings and made me decide to join the fun.

I have five GoG games to give away and all I require are willing subjects.

Simply MsPaint/Photoshop something from the game you want that is somehow teleported into real life. It can be Duke using his Mighty Boot on your boss or it could be shock-comboing a deer.

Lacking inspiration for the above? Try for the consolation prize of drawing what the heck a "Shalcar" looks like anyway! Consolation prize to be determined by levels of awesomosity.

Hint: Let me know what the heck I am looking at in a spoiler =p

Edit: The winners so far! (In no particular order)

1: Clockwork Cupcake - Baldur's Gate 1
2: Fishmonkey - Planescape Torment
3: doctorfrog - Gothic
4: ToxicFrog - Perimeter
5: Elproducto - Blood 2

Consolation: Not won yet!

I played them for a few years when I was a kid, and from what I remember the first game is simple but kind of charming in a weird brownish way. The second one has the worst AI hands-down, creatures will literally walk into walls until they die unless you download less idiotic ones. The third game is a little smoother and easier to play, and it adds some nice features, but it loses some of the ambiance of the first two. I'd recommend the third one since it's smoother and I think people are still making stuff for it. They're all pretty good though.

Full disclosure: I have already "won" a game in this thread (though I've given away three cheapies myself ITT, and two others to friends outside of SA).

Still want another game though :) (* at *)

Anybody who's played the Tex Murphy games, easy question. Can you die/get yourself into an unwinnable position in them? I just started Under a Killing Moon, and really I just want to know whether I need to worry about keeping a lot of saves in case I gently caress up.

Ok I'm kinda pissed...just spent about an hour signing up for, installing and downloading Baldurs Gate 2.

Everything went fine, I boot it up and get to the character creation screen and I can make the character just fine until it comes time to input a "name". The input box for the name stays blank no matter how much I try to click or just type away.

Ive tried tabbing and clicking and just typing and theres no option for a randomnly generated name....

I cant create a character without naming it and it wont let me proceed so I'm basiacally stuck and like I said, kind of pissed off. Anyone know a way around this? Thanks.

one guys solution "Well, I got it working. I didn't really do anything, it just started working."

The others "Hi,

I had the same problem with BG1 (tutu) and solved it by adding BGMAIN.exe to the exluded programs list on DEP (Data Execution Prevention).

On my Win7 it's located at:

start> control panel> system and security> system> advanced system settings> advanced tab> performance settings> data execution prevention> add the game exe file"

I cant seem to figure the 2nd one out and the first one is useless, Im using vista and cant seem to find a performance settings - data execution prevention folder.

The very first thing that I would do is try playing in windowed mode. Widescreen patch helps for that. Also disable/enable hardware graphics acceleration and any advanced video options. If that doesn't work, there is a huge BG thread on this forum that it would probably be better to ask in.

Not won yet? Feel free to enter as many times as you want! Remember, just because you have posted it and it hasn't won, doesn't mean it won't win. At random intervals the best one in the thread wins a prize, so hold on to your hats!

Don't forget the amazing consolation prize!
