  1. Damnation, I thought I was free of all this... I never should have run up the bow line of that scow in the harbor... but they were shipping out and those cats were chasing... grumble... grumble...

    So Hoe Squaw needs recommendations for a new computer?

    Well, generally I like to recommend hardware that performs the anticipated tasks well, but is not at the price point where you are still paying for the 'newness' factor, while still attempting to hold to the line that "Any machine you have to wait for is, by definition, too slow."

    For most, I would recommend a P4 2.4GHz or 2.6GHz processor with the 800 MHz frontside bus and hyperthreading, although if you only run single applications at a time, you should tweak the hyperthreading off. Memory should be 1 GB. Less is soooo passe... Video cards are tough, as I am an nVidia fan (GeForce 4 Ti 5700 was my last purchase). The exact model can be debated, but look for the fastest GPU MHz, 'cause like the CPU, faster is better. Likewise, 128 MB RAM on the video card and DirectX 9 support are de rigeur.

    So in your case, Hoe Squaw, I think an abacus strikes the right balance. Very affordable, and it won't process at a speed that overtaxes your neurons.

    Queen

    female

    Dame

    As a lifelong grog, I have never encountered the concepts before. smile.gif

    </font>
    • Queen <- Seanachai in drag on Friday nights</font>
    • female <- those people with pleasing bumps and curves like YK2, Persephone, and Kitty. Note that this IS NOT in any way, shape or form related to list item #1</font>
    • Dame <- a respectful term of address for those people with pleasing bumps and curves like YK2, Persephone, and Kitty</font>

    Okay Dali-boy, the setup is on its way. The only thing you can count on is that the troops are of medium quality, fit, and full of ammo... otherwise, well, it's a crap shoot. Forces, weather, terrain, location, your mother's reputation, it's all up for grabs...

    The ideal setup is that I send you to Macey's place in Odds-stralia dressed in a full sheep costume.

    But since that would be far too expensive, a CMBB setup it is... Let's see, early Rushin' (to their Doom) infantry for you, and some fun 'splody things for me should just about do it...

    Upon first read of the new title, I was expecting pictures of Peng in drag or sumfink...

    The frightening part is, you were so overcome with despair when you learned such pictures were not (thank the heavens) forthcoming that it took you nearly two days to respond.

    Pillock.

    Now that's a scary thought... Seanachai running around calypso dancing in the 'Pool...

    Or the small gnome in his tight black Flamenco Dancer suit, all shiny with the sequins on his round little belly shining in the lights reflected off the Disco ball...

    Makes me want to hurl... and I'm not talking about some strange Scottish game either...

    Pseudo-God, you must be crazy! Did you get hit on the head by a Coca-Cola bottle or sumfink??? First you develop these delusions of godhood, and now you want a bunch of vestigial virgins!?!

    Seanachai, O Flatulent One from Minneapolis, you might like your virgins vestigial, degenerate, or not fully developed, but that is to be expected from you I guess.

    I prefer mine with a touch more divinity about them. An' if she isn't a virgin anymore, I'll just pretend that she is. After all, what measure is a god without compassion?

    I would like to have those whole face portraits, they add lots of personality to soldiers. Maybe I just have to mod those portraits.

    Personally I hope they don't use the whole face, portraits, at least unless they can provide varying portraits for each unit type.

    In CMBO each type of unit (e.g. german pioneers squad, british paratrooper squad, U.S. infantry squad, SS platoon HQ etc.)had its own portrait, but every unit of that particular type shared the same picture. With each US infantry squad showing the same face gazing back at you it felt a bit like a war of the clones to me and didn't really help with the immersion factor. </font>

    Been playing Temple of Elemental Evil. Thought I'd give it a go with an evil party. Managed to get the reputation of Butcher of Hommlet (without trying I might add). Now what this means, is that all the happy townfolk attack my party on sight. Ok, I'm up for a little mayhem. First bastard I run into... a herder. He and his two dogs were no match, but when then I got swarmed by his herd of killer SHEEP! It is all Mace's fault

    Note to self: Do not antagonize sheep.

    Poor Hoe Squaw has to go all the way to DFW for his therapy sessions...

    I guess he wore out his welcome among the Salt Lake City psychiatric community with his Woody Allen-esque ramblings, no matter how much he was willing to pay...
