i really liked them all, and i hope that they novelize halo 2 because i would like it if they filled in the gaps during gameplay

kannibalkaney

It varies. On average? About three. Usually piss twice and crap once.

Wait, that was more info than was necessary...

My personal reaction was as follows:

"MY BRAIN! Why, oh why, must humanity shame me so? That's just...no! Just...OW. OW. OW. That's just...OW. Oh OW. AHH OW."

My forum reaction:

OMGWTFBBQ!!!!????


That's pretty screwed up, dude.

Humans are NOT born gay, end of story.

Every human, in infant form, is 'pure', and unable to commit sin. Homosexuality is a sin. Bottom line? You can't be queer when you're born, it's just not physically possible.

And I honestly don't see the draw of lesbians. I mean, they can't really do anything. It's like bumper cars!

More than zero.

Any way? Umm, let's see...

I would die in my 50's or 60's, after leading a very happy life. Oh, and I'd have enough money to get my kids through everything no problem.

Over-exaggerated awesome way:

I would die while taking on a whole army of enemy soldiers. After being stranded behind enemy lines, I would fight my way through the horde as a one-man army, disgarding my empty assault rifle for a loaded SPAS-12 shotgun. I would use that until it was dry, then pull out my .45 handgun, at which point I would make a last-stand. When I died, it would be dramatically, with TAPS playing in the background and my support team crying.

Car. Truck drivers think they own the road. Vans just suck.

What kind of car? Not really sure.

They almost answered this question in the movie 'Me, Myself and Irene', but the answer was never fully found, since the man finally decided to stick the chickens head, rather than the egg, up the police officers...hind area.

I'd say it is POSSIBLE, but the pressure around the egg would have to be equal in all ways to keep the egg from rupturing.

And Jena, there's a number of ways to speed up performance on games. A) Defragment your hard drive B) Close un-necessary background programs C) Make sure nothing else is running (like AIM) while you play. Also close all web browsers D) Update the game E) Update your graphic drivers Do this for me. Go to your desktop and right click on My Computer, then hit properties. Under 'Computer' it will have several things listed...just post those on here. After that, right click on the desktop itself and hit properties. Go to the 'Settings' tab, and click 'Advanced'. Go to the 'Adapter' tab. Tell me what it says under 'Adapter Type'. Also, tell me what it says for 'Memory Size' (also under the Adapter tab).

srry i didnt see ur reply until now so ill take your advice and do that right now.

ok i looked under my computer and i didnt see properties i even looked under my c drive and didnt see it, i might b overlooking it tho it wouldnt supprise me in the least if i was but ill keep looking tho.

which do you better lemons or limes?

kannibalkaney

well i like limes myself, as a fruit, and i like lemons in fan fictions

lemons: sex scenes in fan fictions

how cheap do your mexicans work?

kannibalkaney

thanks for the visual aids i apriciate them cause i wouldnt have found what i was looking for without it. anyways here is the info you wanted.

A) Because computers aren't programmed to
B) It would cause mass panic among the crew members
C) It would be practical

And Jena, judging from those specs, you need more RAM. However, I'm guessing you have absolutely no idea what RAM is, nor how to install it. It's not too complicated, but you have to know how to get inside a computer.

Without upgrading, I'll go ahead and give you an idea of what's up.

Your computer has 'integrated graphics'. What this means is that the graphics card (the thing that shows the stuff in the game) is actually built into the motherboard (the 'frame' of the computer). Integrated is nowhere near as good as dedicated (a seperate card that fits into the motherboard), because it uses RAM (the stuff I was talking about earlier, it basically allows the computer to 'think' faster with more of it). You have 256 MB (megabytes) of RAM, and 30 MB of it are going to your graphics. Basically, a seperate video card uses its own RAM, reducing the need for the graphics to draw from the computer RAM.

Also, your processor isn't helping things. It has a good speed, but it's a Sempron. Sempron processors are NOT built for gaming. This effectively 'bottlenecks' (hinders) the RAM, not allowing it to operate at optimal efficiency.

Okay, now that I've confused you, I'll put it in simple terms.

The stuff that lets the computer think faster is being used by the graphics card, making it think slower. The brain of the computer hinders the thinker as well.


My advice?

First of all, it's necessary for any form of PC gaming that you keep your graphics card drivers up to date. The Radeon Xpress 200 is currently the best integrated graphics card out right now (or one of them), so it SHOULD be capable of running KotOR without much difficulty. I have several advanced tips you could use, but that would require a basic knowledge of the ins and outs of a computer, and I'm guessing that you're inexperienced with them.

Here's what I'll say. Turn off everything extra that you don't need when you play. This includes Instant Messanger, any form of web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.), music programs, word processing programs (like Notepad or Microsoft Word), etc. This opens up more RAM for the game to use, allowing it to run at a better speed (it doesn't have to worry about running the other crap at the same time).

Next up, you're gonna need to update graphics drivers. This is a bit advanced and CAN SCREW UP YOUR COMPUTER if you don't do it right. I'll walk you by this step-by-step, so it'll be easier, although if you aren't sure of yourself, I don't recommend trying it.

You need the new drivers. These are downloaded just like anything else: just click the link, pick where you want to save them, then download. The drivers for your graphics card are located here: https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=293

You'll load into a page that says "Windows XP Drivers and Software". Click that. Now you're at a page that says:

Windows® XP drivers and software are available for the following product types:

* RADEON
* ALL-IN-WONDER
* TV Tuners
* Remote Controls
* FireGL
* FireMV
* RAGE
* Motherboards with ATI Graphics
* Notebooks with ATI Graphics

Click on "Motherboards with ATI Graphics". Now, you'll see a page that says "Catalyst 6.3 Windows XP - Motherboard/IGP Drivers". Click that. This is the last page. Here's a pic, I've circled what to click: https://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a268/snake152/getthis.jpg

This will download the driver. When you get it downloaded, it'll appear where-ever you downloaded it to as "6-3_xp-2k_dd_30895.exe".

Okay, now that you have that and know where it is, you need to uninstall your current driver. Click on "Start", open the menu, then click "Control Panel". Now, you'll open up to the Windows XP Control Panel. Up in the left hand corner, it should say "Switch to Classic View". Click that. That changes your control panel for better access. Now, you should see "Add or Remove Programs". Double-Click that. Scroll down a bit until you see "ATI Software Uninstall Utility". Click that, then click "Change/Remove". It will ask you if you want to uninstall all ATI software from your computer. Click "OK". Once this is done, it will ask you to reboot.

Okay, now your computer is rebooted. Notice how everything is huge? This is because there's no graphics controller now, so it can't handle the smaller stuff.

Find the file I had you download earlier. Double-click on this, and it will open an install screen. Click "Install". Now, click "Next" then "Yes". That's all you gotta do. It will ask if you want to reboot afterwards, just let it.

This should have installed the latest drivers on your system. If the pictures are still huge, right-click on the desktop, click Properties, click Settings, then adjust the little slider to 800x600 or 1024x768. Also set the Color Quality to 32. Viola, your graphics drivers are updated! This should allow the game to run a bit smoother.

Another tip: Defragment your hard drive. As bad as this sounds, all it means is that 'fragmented' (scattered to places where they shouldn't be) files are rearranged to where they should be for better performance. To do this, click on My Computer, and open the window. You see C: sitting there (your hard drive)? Right click on it, and hit properties. Now, click 'Tools' and 'Defragment Now'. This opens the defrag system. Down at the bottom, click 'Defragment'. Let it run until it says it's finished. Once you do this...congrats, you defragmented the hard drive. This should improve performance as well.


Okay, if you've done both of those, then you've accomplished the following:

1) Updated Graphic Drivers
2) Defragmented the Hard Drive

That's really all you can do right now (apart from closing unnecessary stuff). If you need any more help or that was WAY over your head (which is understandable), just tell me. If need be, I can sit down with Mitch and show him this stuff step-by-step so that he can do it. It's really not hard at all once you learn how to do it: learning how is the hard part.

If you're on a family computer, I'd be quite a bit more hesitant about doing the graphics thing. Defragmenting won't hurt your computer, so feel free to do that.

If you need any more advice or just want to learn more on the subject, feel free to ask me.
