Stormwing

I'd like to check 'em too, out of curiosity. So, PM someone? Thanks in advance. ^^

I could add virtually all Key Visual arts productions, if you haven't seen 'em already. - Air - Clannad + Afterstory - Kanon (Newer, the old is quite bad..) - And newest, Angel Beats. Looks really nice and gotta love the OP. I'll check it out myself now that it's finished. Oh, and for some random fun, Galaxy Angels. At least the first season seems to miss a constant storyline.

Awright! I can finally resume my HE campaign now that Facettelion is fixed. ^^ Also, will check the new boss, when I have some time. Btw, could be I've totally missed it, but is the broken class-excl. mission chain for seraphim intact now?

Hmm, I had the first mentioned trouble too, along with some messed up things. Corrected after couple of re-installs. As mentioned elsewhere, Sacred 2 can be a bit tricky at times. About the latter: My guess is that Blood&Ice somewhat broke the Seraphim quest-line, along with other things. Too bad there won't be any official patches, as not all things are accesible without the sources and stuff. Haven't tried that seraphim thing in latest 0080 version of CM patch yet. Mebbe it's fixed. But I'm sure that czevak, Marcus and others will fix those things in given time. If possible. ^^

Shouldn't be complaining when it's finally summer, but I'd say that 25-30 celsius is too much for me... Sweating buckets and having troubles sleeping. >_< Chattius: Was something along those lines couple of days ago here too. I could barely sleep at my friend's place, as they had heated owen twice to make some food for the parties we had. Was more like 40 degrees upstairs where se slept.

Tough choice... Hmm, I think I'll go with Seiken Densetsu 3, following with Final Fantasy VI/III and Chrono Trigger. Mana-series has always been close to my heart, though I haven't had a chance to play 'em as much as I'd liked. EDITTO: Upsie Daisie.. Meant Trigger of course. Must've been due to sleep deprivation or something...

Seems to be from 6,50€ to 10,50€ ('round ~8-13$). And 3Ds from 8,80€ -12,50€ Cheapest being on working hours and week days, and most expensive in holidays and weekends. Had to check the local netsite. Been some time I last went to movies, and I had a free ticket at the time. Wa bit cheaper than I remembered, though still tad too much for me atm. And quite sure there aren't any drive-ins around here...

For a moment, I had to check whether my coffee was really coffee... (Checked the first posts without looking the date. January.) +15°C here and kinda clody. Not exactly your "normal" summer weather, but will do. More than that +30°C or something we had like a month ago. Add the comp and the monitor and it's almost like poorly warmed sauna. >_< Yep, I have a flat screen, but for some reason it's almost hotter than my old CRT. Works fine though.

I'll go with Seraphim. We share a long history, from the original Sacred. Used to be my least fave, but when I got her up and running, I totally fell in love with her. Versatile fighter, and gotta love those wings. I'd quote Giles, but I'm not sure how his speech went.

Ugh... Those heads... Nice build indeed, Gogo. That proved to me that the Ice Elf is a real killer too. Gonna see, if I'm gonna respec my own one. ^^

Well, I kinda guessed since the other metals were real, that Niobium was too. Never really gave it that much attention.

For a moment I wondered what the heck was going around. But looks sweet. Thanks for the hard work. ^^

Colif: Gotcha. Thought something seemed a bit off. I'll just be a good kid and wait for the next patch. ^^

I guess I'll work my necromancy, since there was already an existing thread about this bugger. So, having some heavy troubles with the crystal thingie with my Fire HE. Face keeps OHKOing her every time I try to approach him... Makes about 2k damage with his lighting bolt or whatever. So, any suggestions how I should equip my HE to survive this onslaught...?

Right-o. I mainly listen to miscellaneous Japanese. J-pop, anime music, etc. Or progressive rock. Might sound an exotic combo. Pretty much depends of the mood. Friend of mine got me hooked with proge. And I noticed that some stuff just needs certain mood to listen to. From Japanese my faves are mainly I've girls and all time fave is Kotoko. They all provide quite a wide array of different stuff. Also I've been getting int o Vocaloids, mainly Hatsune Miku. Such hilarious stuff. KOTR: Haven't really looked into Touhou, but I might as well give it a go, seeing quite many people like it.

I'm all there with you. FMA was one of my faves too. Well, still is, even more with the new Brotherhood takeover. Still, I'd say the ep 07 of the '03-'04 anime, Night of the Chimera`s Cry , was one of the most touching pieces in anime. And not to forget, Hughe's funeral. Heh, guess there could've been awfull lot worse pieces of anime to start off. I remember original FMA was my first long series. Watched it twice in two-three months time, when I was at summer vacation. Quite a marathon, nearly 10 hours anime straight. Also, my mom gave me kinda earlful, as I was still living with parents. Good times. Also, talking about emotionally charged animes, I could recommend the whole Clannad+Afterstory series. Had me crying in several occations, it was just so emotional. Nagisa's struggle and all. *tear..* ^^

promatolya: I gave up trying to ger on par with One piece. Seeing 400+ ep behind. I'm only seen the Captain Kuro Arc in anime. And giving my flanky wireless net, there's just no will to get all that stuff. Same reason why I don't watch anime online. Just hate the buffering... Though I do read the manga. We're almost on par with Japanese release here in Finland. ^^ But that aside. I managed to keep in touch with Bleach. Which is the only gargantuan series on my list. Getting slightly annoyed with Orihime's constant "Kurosaki-kunnn!" weeping. Atleast we got to see some neat power-up, so that kinda makes it up. I have some of those series you listed just waiting to be watched. I know, hoarded just too much stuff in buffer when I had the change. For Dragonball, you haven't lost much. I gave up somewhere during the android saga and dropped the sucker. It's... just... too... damn... slow... paced... >_< But I do have the manga. Much, much better, and no annoying fillers and crap. Also, I don't like Naruto either. Dunno why, it just never piqued my interests... By Full Metal, I assume you meant Panic! Or am I totally wrong? If it's Panic! I really like it too. Hoping there's some continuation, as there's so much material to cover. Light novels, mangas and so on.

No sweat mate. ^^ Each to his own. We all have our own preferences. Mind you, I'd never touch Win98. Had enough of it years back. Heck, I'm sure that I'd be playing Sacred Underworld if I wasn't lucky enough to get some much needed hardware update, as I'm at the same situation with the cash flow, actually. Unemplyed and having loans and such surely limits what one can do... Also, I'm totally with you considering the games being such resource hoggers. Ah, the old good Diablo 2 times. ^^ But anyways, all the best for getting that sucker up and running. *thumbs up*

I'll be a fellow gravedigger. Just noticed this too. Been hooked to anime for about 6 years now. And in Japanese culture and other stuff in general. Too bad I haven't had chance to properly learn the language, as I do find it quite fascinating. But I'd say watching all those animes and playing games have helped to form some kind of basic understanding. And, considering Clamp, I'm not a huge fan, though I found Chobits to be quite an enjoyable series. And they did the charas for Code Geass, which was one of my faves too. I might want to try that Tsubasa if I ever get the time. Still having about 200gigs of anime waiting. Click There's my listing at AniDB, if by wonders someone's interested. ^^ promatolya: Haven't watched yet, but I'm intending to. As with so many other series. Anyways, too bad that's one of those series with open ending, just waiting for a second season. Which in most cases never happen... Heck, might as well put it on dl queue. Now that someone's actually written a small description.

I'd also say yes. If it's only for Blood and Ice. ^^ Also, CM-patch and other stuff keeps adding some new things here and there. And I'd strongly suggest getting Blood and Ice if you're using Win7. When patched at least 2.65.1, it'll be fully compatible with Seven. No need to run in comp mode with XP. You'll get the most out of it. For instance, XP can only use DirectX 9, whereas Seven gets to use DX10 and 11. Not that the latter counts, but getting 10 is nice. I for one used to have several performance cutout when ran with comp mode. Just a little heads up. ^^

Regarding Ice & Blood. I'd say it's not a definite essential, but it surely is nice thing too have around. Seeing CM-patch will cover some broken peaces from here and there over time. And also, if you're ever planning to go for Win7, then it's a definite. Just my 2 cents, tho.

Guess all the necessary things are said. Just hang in there, Rotluchs! ^^ Though dunno if anyone mentioned wiping all old drivers and stuff away with sort of regcleaner utility. Don't know which one it is for nVidia, as I use ATI's card, but still. Also, I'd vote against installing it on same HD as OS, seeing sometimes the performance really sucks up. Maybe the pagefiles and such clutter the HD or something. I'm having some performance issues too, running a AMD Athlon X2 5400+, HD 4770 and 2 gigs of ram On Win7 x64 Ultimate. Though I'm quite positive my problem is HD related. Have the game and OS on same HD, but different partitions. And I thought I had problems with this sucker. Not counting some re-installs and updates mine was smooth sailing. Well, at least after I installed Blood & Ice with 2.65.1 patch. Till B&I I couldn't use it outside XP comp mode, which seriosly cut the performance...

"It's not a bug, it's a feature!" Anyways, regarding the post count; if memory serves, I've only gotten somewhat 1000'ish count on some forums, where I was a serious poster. And that's waay back in the history. Actually, the forum sank 'cause of stinking mods. Too bad, was a nice place though. And about DM, first I was more of a lurker type. Went after the builds during S1 times and such. Actually, this is my second account here, dunno, what happened the first one, prolly went M.I.A. or something, but I thought that what the hell, looks like a nice community and stuff, so I might as well drop few lines here and there.

Like the gamers in general have taken a turn to a worse. I've seen that kinda thing IRL much too many times. Been wondering what'll come out of the youth nowadays. Coming and going as they please, bitching the hell outta others. And it reflects to the net, as it's that much easier to be rude and other FECAL MATTER! under the web anonomity. (Was that spelled right? ) Would need some serious troll hunting. Anyways, now that I think of it, I've avoided many boards due to what's stated above. Was glad to find out that DM as a whole is like it is. ^^ Not that made much sense, but try to bear with me. the caffeine hasn't fully kicked in yet.

Bondbug: Maybe they just grew tired of it? Surely, group of WoWers must've changed quite a bit in the years. True to be told, never been there, so I can't be sure. Also, I'm somewhat active member of few other forums and the general atmosphere is nice. Guess I've been the luck one. ^^ But considering what I've heard and also seen other places, DarkMatters is a great place, as others have stated earlier. ^^ But I do remember one thing from the past. Used to be an active at some ROM/RPG- stuff place. Was nice until the admins started to bitch alot. People getting banned I really don't know why and such. Few old peeps back then moved to their own forums, which were much better. But, that's ancient history.
