  1. Seattleite, I am 100% in agreement with you. Have you seen the movie Uncle Buck? I really want to go do an impression of the principal's office scene for your GF's nephew right now.

     

    How about we all just get together and start our own schools system here... I'm sure we could figure out something way better than the public schools.

  2. On sports: I don't understand why watching other people play eachother in a multiplayer game is suppised to be entertaining. These games SUCK, too. They never mix it up and there's no story at all. I'd rather watch people play CoD matchmaking. Better variety, funnier, at least equal story, and less time with fuck all going on. And seriously, hour long matches? No fucking way.

    You should check out this e-sport...

  3. 6. I have an insanely high metabolism. So much so that I think there's something wrong with me. Who eats a block of chocolate in one day and not gain weight? Me! It's actually a problem cause I'm underweight. X3 Oops.

    This to a letter. 115 pounds at 24 and I can order the biggest, most calorie stuffed item on a menu and find out I lost weight the next day. It's been a joke amongst my friends that the more I eat the more of a workout I'm getting. Most people call it a blessing but I'd rather not do with the crippling blood-sugar crashes I get 3-4 times a day that leave me nearly useless until I eat.

    You two both need to come to my house for a few weeks... I guarantee at least 5 extra pounds per week.

  4. If you don't feel like dealing with DOSBox, (I find a lot of their setup and instructions to be very confusing) you can just install Windows 98/98se in a VirtualBox virtual machine. It would allow you to play virtually anything designed for 98 or earlier versions of Windows.

  5. Uh, yea. Don't give yourself an aneurysm, now...

    I made it visible enough for everyone to see it, and emphasized it... How would doing that in text cause me an aneurysm?

     

    The games are notoriously buggy. No idea what you've been playing.

    I've been playing every bethesda game since Morrowind, and Skyrim was the first to not give ME any problems without mods. I never said anything else, or implied anything else.

     

    The point, though, was that just one playtester would have spotted the issues in both game's intro on the PC release. The intro. Not, like, somewhere into the game, or in a specific quest or something, but in the forced, lengthy intro at the very beginning of the game.

    Only if they had a hardware/software setup that would generate those problems... Bethesda just can't afford to build 30,000 of the most popular combinations of systems and test their games on them, and even if they could, it still wouldn't prevent bugs in the other 30,000,000 system combinations the game would be played on.

     

    You seem to be harboring a lot of hatred towards Bethesda... It may help you in the long run to let go of that anger.

  6. Well, it's a really simple setup... Once you get those two things, go ahead and install VirtualBox. Once that is installed, you need to make a new virtual environment. It'll ask you for a name for the environment, the type of OS, and the actual OS you intend to install. Make whatever name you want, choose Microsoft Windows, and Windows 98.

     

    When you click 'next' it'll ask you how much RAM to give your virtual machine. Do either 256MB or 512MB, but don't go higher than 1158MB or Windows 98 will have issues booting. (this permanently allocates your system RAM in that amount to the VM whenever the VM is running, so make sure you have enough for your base OS to do everything it needs to)

     

    Next, it asks you if you want to create a virtual hard drive, use the default "Create a virtual hard drive now" option. Use the default hard drive type. (VDI) Next you get to decide if you want the drive to be a fixed size, or to expand dynamically as you use more space... I recommend you do a fixed size, and allocate no more than 60GB to it. This will create a file on your drive of your chosen size, and it will store everything about your virtual system.

     

    From here, you simply start the VM, choose the Windows 98 install disc image in the VirtualBox menu, and restart the VM. Treat the VM as you would a normal computer system, because it will react like one. Of course there are more detailed settings that would need to be set for games that require better graphics capabilities, so if you need a walkthrough for those settings, PM me.
