Expack3's Guide to Making Old Games Run Without CD-ROMs
DISCLAIMER This guide is not to be used for piracy; but rather, for those who would use this to make their old, legitimately-purchased video games run without using the games' CD-ROMs or disc images. In my spare time, I enjoy figuring out how to make the old video games I and my friends own run wit...

Lame "Torrin's Passage" Meme
After looking through Know Your Memes , a site dedicated to all this memetically mutated, I realized that the expression used by the ubiquitous TV character Fry (from the adult-oriented TV show Futurama ) uses is rather similar to a frame of animation used in the first dialog in Torrin's Passage bet...

Re: The Brainless Box (aka Television Shows)
Recently discovered that one of my favorite animated series of all time, The Secret Saturdays , is on Boomerang at 9PM and 9:30PM EST. I'm just thankful that the place I'm staying at actually has the channel so I can watch it! For those who don't know what the show is about, The Secret Saturdays is ...

Re: Steam and GOG sales
Steam has two excellent, today-only specials for fans of iD Software games! The first is the Wolf Pack , which contains Wolfenstien 3D, its prequel, Spear of Destiny, and Return to Castle Wolfenstien, for $3.75. The second is the Super iD Software Pack , which contains the complete Quake, Hexen, and...

Re: What are you playing now?
Presently playing the following: King Arthur's Gold , a very fun little 2D block-based game with some great multiplayer modes and a surprisingly-fun WIP singleplayer/multiplayer Zombie mode! Nexuiz Beta (more like Nexuiz Alpha ) - certainly more reliable in terms of being able to connect to others c...

Re: 3-D Ultra Pinball 1 in DOSBox
Trying to record it, but it won't start under Windows 3.1 under DOSBox. It's impossible to record under XP with ScreenRecorderGold because it plays choppy and kinda needs... well... accuracy. Sigh... don't know why it doesn't run under the system it was designed for. Could it be the video driver I ...

Re: GUILD WARS 2 Discussion Thread.
On a slightly unrelated note, how is Nexuis , aside from the alpha-like beta stage it's currently in, of course. It's pretty inexpensive on Steam right now. Would you say it's worth buying or should I wait for a while and see how things go? To get quickly off-topic, it depends on how much you love ...

Re: Legend of Grimrock
I've recently bought Legend of Grimrock, and, I must say - I'm absolutely loving the game! Besides the solid controls, clever puzzles, and the unique enemies, I also like the fact that you don't need scrolls to actually discover potion and spell combinations (I found the Poignant Potion combination ...

Re: GUILD WARS 2 Discussion Thread.
Unfortunately, it seems a lot of players don't understand the concept behind a beta, if the responses on Facebook are any indication. They seem to view it as some sort of "free play weekend." The other response is "I paid to be in this beta." Actually, no, you didn't. You paid f...

Re: Any 3-D Ultra fans?
When I get time, I'll will eventually take a look at the other 3-D pinballs. Speaking of 3-D Ultra Pinball games, I actually know how to get 3-D Ultra Pinball: The Lost Continent working - to a degree. Here's how I did it: Insert the game disc into your CD-ROM drive. Go to your Start menu, then cli...

Re: Any 3-D Ultra fans?
I've got the original 3-D Ultra Pinball, 3-D Ultra Pinball: The Lost Continent, and 3-D Ultra Minigolf. If you need help testing installers for any of these games, I'll be happy to oblige!
