Edit one. All 4 cd installed successfully on D drive. Graphics and char gen works fine. Made archived copies of the two install folders, and now I will install easy tutu. Basically, tutu allows a user who has Balder's Gate 1 and 2 installed to create a third folder with a version of Balder's gate 1 using the improved graphics and game play changes of the Balder's Gate 2 engine/game. EasyTutu is the most mature, and robust version of Tutu a

Since several people have expressed an interest my retro gaming I am setting up a separate thread so as to not derail the games we are looking forward to in 2014 thread. I never played Balder's Gate or IceWind Dale . They are classics which have influenced modding in the Elder Scrolls and Fallout universes. So I'm looking forward to them in 2014. Just received the disks and I'm installing them. Issues relate to old games runni

Fukushima and US: Quote from document/site SivCorp mentions: " The investigation included more than 900 hours of hearings and interviews with 1,167 people. The commission also made nine visits to nuclear power plants, including the Fukushima Daiichi plant. After their six-month-long investigation, the investigative panel concluded that the accident was the result of “collusion” between the government, the regulators and the Tokyo Electric Power Co., and the &

Oh? really cool. LH has something skyrim doesn't. way cool.

Easiest way is go to GoG and buy them there. Running old disks (bought originally upon release, some bought later due wear&tear/damages), could require certain shaman rituals, and games still could have problems in performance, o

Here is a link to the article about the salt using nuclear reactors I mentioned earlier. http://www.triplepundit.com/2012/04/liquid-fluoride-thorium-power-pros-cons/ This article is part of a series that attempts to give the pros and cons of each type of energy 'solution' that's on the radar. The author admits his bias (unlike many other pundits) and seems to cover all the

Not to get political, but much of the resistance to solar and other alternative energy sources is the ease by which such sources of energy harnessing can be decentralized - and thereby not as easily controlled by a centralized entity for 'sale' at a profit. Our economic model favors generating (sorry for pun) repeat customers. Using fossil fuels guarantee repeat customers, and sets up a dependency - but once a solar / wind / etc. energy harnessing device is in place - the dependency is signif

May they find/create the cure very soon...

Yes, fear of spiders has its impact on many games. Skyrim (vanilla) has some really gruesome giant spiders. Some even have personal names.. LOL (er.. ROFL?) One of the first mods that came out was a mod that changed the appearance of spiders to that of bears. The silly part was that these bears hung out in webs and descended form the ceiling in a most un bear like fashion. In nay case, fear of Spiders is very widespread - so you are in good company. Me? Spiders are Ok. I wish someo

yes, i just was diagnosed with D as well. Exercise here I come.... hang in there kona... type 2 can be beat...

My pet refuses to pose for a photo... should I take a photo anyway?

Nice thing about the Chud is they prefer basements to attics... no altitude sickness...

Wagner? Ride of the Valkeryes? :)

The sad 'underside' of this disaster is it was preventable. There are a number of alternative approaches to harness usable energy from nuclear fission that are much safer. Some, like the salt model, can't produce a chain reaction, even if you do really stupid things to the reactor. Oak Ridge explored a number of these approaches just after WW2. The USA decided to use the hot (current) model because the 'cold war' required more nuclear weapons grade materials, and the current nuclear generatin

Heavenfall, wish I had waited to get Endless space. You are a good guy for passing the coupon on... :)

I would give you karma, but I'm stark out of karma.... :O or am I?

Good to see you again Starkers... happy sailing!

So the researchers are also running in circles and chasing their tails (metaphorically speaking)? :)
