Insulted

February 28, 2008

Well, I went to the Pocket Plane Group to ask for help on EasyTutu. I wasn’t sure about my install order and wanted to know why the BG mod wasn’t working. The person who replied, K-something, said to the effect that “you’ve installed it wrong and you have to deal with it”, implying strongly that [...]

Forgetful

February 24, 2008

Got my clean install of BG1 and 2 going, put in EasyTutu then the BG2 mods I want. I created a monk after deliberating over what class to take through both games. I’ve heard Tutu totally overpowers BG by bringing in the BG2 classes. Check out the abilities of the specialty classes – monk, barbarian, [...]

TuTu and zombies

February 21, 2008

Here’s a fat gaming update.
I’m getting that itch to play Baldur’s Gate again, specifically BG1+TotSC+BG2+ToB using Easy TuTu with the same character. I’ve done the import from BG to BG2, but I confess I’m curious about easy TuTu. What’s holding me back is the unfixable Beregost bug that’s existed since TuTu’s inception. Getting to Beregost [...]

Better

With some inventive wiggling, I was able to get the monitor working. Would you be surprised to note that my speakers stopped working?
I thought not.
Empath returned home from work and I explained everything. Normally, I’m practical with these things, but the frustration mounted and I screwed up 2 simple things. The cables going into the [...]

I broked it

February 14, 2008

After an hour, I figured out how the change the battery in my mouse.
Then, my keyboard decided not to work.
While I was digging through various cables, I lifted my new flatscreen monitor out of the way and broke that too.
I got the mouse and keyboard working again. The only way my monitor will show anything [...]

Anonymity

February 14, 2008

Do I like seeing no one commenting? Does it bother me to know no one reads this blog?
Yes. No.
After a disaster with several ex-friends yesterday, I realize that I would rather have no comments and no readers, just a flat line on my blog stats. Currently, there is the occasional blip (whether this is a [...]

I’m a cannibal

February 5, 2008

Empath choked it up and bought a new computer from Future Shop. The one he originally wanted because he could purchase just the tower and a monitor was out of stock (natch), so he had to get the second cheapest, a Hewlitt-Packard. Once we got it home and he garbled an explanation to his folks [...]

It’s catching

February 2, 2008

Empath’s computer died last night. He was trying out a demo for a game he saw in the bargain bin at EB just to make sure it would run with his graphics card when he readied his spaceship to leave the station. The computer voice said it was ready for launch and his computer [...]
