    Some times you can visibly see what is fired, othertimes smell may be the only tell. Then their are times when nothing may actually be "Fried" and has just quit working for one reason or another. Since it seems you do have a graphics card, I suggest removing it and hooking the monitor upto the onboard video. Without the card in the motherboard should just default to the onboard graphics, and as long as the mobo is fine you should get video, this means however that your Video Card is dead and will need replacing if you do any kind of video intensive tasks. If nothing appears......well your motherboard may be dead, and just suppling power to the fans when turned on.

    Go peek around NMA. I'm sure they have a Vista fix on there somewhere. If I can find fixes to make System Shock 2 work on Vista I'm sure that there are fixes for Fallout which has a much larger fan following than SS.

    It wouldn't look like Sin City in full color, and I'm pretty sure Sin City was part of the inspiration for the style.

     

    I'm betting if it does well in reviews it will sell well. I'm also guessing it'll be similar to NMHs where it gain multiple times more sales in countries that aren't Japan.

    I believe this is totally relevant to the thread.

    Honestly think about it MW is a combo of NMH and GH, the crazy fighting of both the violence and stylized action of NMH and the makers of GH.

     

    Oh and Cid Highwind was the midwife(since he looks like Cid on roids).

     

    Oh also my own image :)...........god I suck image editing.

    Either Fallout 1 or 2 doesn't have a demo while the other one does. I never played Brotherhood of Steel, but I heard it's a poorly done spin-off. Fallout Tactics is a spin-off but it's quite fun imo.

    Sooo.....just wondering, how many here have played the originals?

     

    @Solo, about your sig......have you noticed some staff members far excede the rules yet.....no repurcussions... oh well lucky them.

    I think it's accurate......I haven't looked since I joined like 2 years ago, I think I have less that 100 post too.

     

    Id o occasionally abuse my profile, on a different forum I switch myself to an Asian Swinger(default for adbots).

     

    EDIT, I almost said less than 50 post but decided on 100 just to be safe, welll I just checked and this is my 51st post.

    Well more interesting has nothing to do with realism in the graphics and more abour preference(ala Killer 7 or a 2D title) The character models are debatable, but I don't really have a preference to debate sooo, sure they're better.

    yea.... the graphics may not be crysis, but they are above Wii caliber.

     

    Basically.....The easiest synopsis would be Oblivion with guns set in a post apocalyptic Washington DC.

     

    The originals however are some of the best RPGs ever made, and most definantly not Oblivion with guns.

     

    More or less what you can expect is a questing system similar to Oblivion, with fewer characters (allowing for more detailed NPCs as opposed to ESIVs very generic chars.) They have also worked in multiple endings, I believe they originally decided on 13-14 endings but iirc that number is much higher now. Karma is town to town based as opposed to everyone across the game hating you for a crime not affecting them.

    Do want, I pre-ordered the limited edition as soon as it was announced. Unfortunatly, I missed out on the Survival Edition with the pipboy clock.

     

    I'm a Fallout fanboy, I've played all of them except the janky Console one that was on Xbox and PS2.

    I think I played a demo for stalker, is that the one with the little girl? On PC?

     

    Obviously truely horrid games like Doom 3 will make you sh*t your pants but that is just because they make you jump.

     

    Just Shadowman was/is a little gem. The music, the voice acting, it was all awesome. Maybe it's my fanboy-ism clouding my judgement over the best version but I'm sure I remember the N64 version being better.

     

    Anyway I just bought a copy from ebay for £5 devilvered. Win.

     

    No your thinking of FEAR, STALKER doesn't have a demo(or even females in the game:confused: ) and is PC only. Ages ago when it first went into development it was Oblivion Lost (like the book). It's something of a free-roaming FPS with some light RPG elements. It has been compared to Deus Ex and System Shock.

    That's a mod site, but they have some very nice user submitted photos that show of the game. You can find decent videos in the usuall places.

     

    Word of advice though, patch the game, they are so buggy pre-patch. Also the games run on a widerange of hardware(my friends laptop with an Intel IGP and Pentium Dual Core......aka holy crappy setup.), but they are hard on the hardware if you try to go to high settings.

     

    I'd also suggest the first game before the second, it's cheaper and has more patches to help playability.

    Ollie, if you want atmosphere check out STALKER and the System Shock games. They drip with atmosphere.

     

    Also really you found Shadowman to be better on 64 than DC? (Everyone knows it's better than PS1 version....) Also oddly enough I was about to post Shadowman since no else had when lo and behold there you were.

     

    Anywho...

     

    7th Guest creepy point and click adventure in a haunted house.

     

    Diablo series fits with halloween.

     

    Dead Rising (come on zombies and you can dress up)

     

    That's all I can think of at the moment.
