ACAMS called me up. I assumed the place was dying and desperate for activity but I was pleasantly surprised to find just the opposite.

but yeah I might lurk around for a minute. I'm about to be on house arrest for 20 days soon so what the hell else am I going to do.

Why hello, good sir. For some reason, I'm still here.
Title: Re: you rang?
Post by: HX_ on December 30, 2010, 07:39:24 PM
sup frezal. Props on the boosh avatar.

As for building/modding again, I'm currently running a rather wrigged up PC right now. Brick-like 2.66 Ghz P4 compaq nx9010 laptop that I somehow broke the screen to when I was swapping out the DVD drive for a DVDRW. (from my old core 2 duo Acer laptop that I finally fried the motherboard on after soldering and super gluing the AC/DC adapter female piece back on about 4 times.)

So it's more of a desktop now, luckily it had a monitor out and I found an old AG neovo flat screen in my ex gf's basement. I'm running a cracked version of Windows 7 Ultimate but it doesn't support my video card and I only have 512 MB of RAM. So running anything graphically intensive or really any flash video or things with AC3 sound is pretty booty. I can barely run Firefox, iTunes, and BitTorrent at the same time.

Besides, I have no idea where my game disc is. I'm gonna look up the games system requirements though, I'm curious now, it's been awhile so I don't remember. The game is, what?, like.. 10 years old though? ha. Damn, I really don't know of any other low budget computer game that can still boast such a following after so long.

No disc, eh?

So what's up with the house arrest?

I think it only required a 450 Mhz processor with a 16 MB video card. RAM was probably something low, like 64 MB.
Title: Re: you rang?
Post by: HX_ on December 30, 2010, 08:02:31 PM

So what's up with the house arrest?

All in good time.

and right on frezal.

450 Mhz processor
Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP
16 MB 3D accelerated video card
64 MB RAM
DirectX 8.1

hahah, primitive. stupid mortals.

btw, I'm sure I can find the disc somewhere because I did actually buy the game back in the day. Probably even have the box with all original packaging. What you would you new fan boys that can't get a hold of it be willing to offer on ebay for it? hah.
Title: Re: you rang?
Post by: HX_ on December 30, 2010, 08:08:55 PM
nevermind about the ebay thing, I just found it for $4.95 on google shopping ha. and the original for 1.80.

Im suprised your computer even starts up, windows 7 has a minimun requirement of 1gb of ram o_O
Title: Re: you rang?
Post by: HX_ on December 31, 2010, 07:40:24 AM
It actually ran faster than XP when I first installed it, and that's why I kept it. Along with the ability to stream WMP to my xbox 360. Although that overheated and no longer works.

I am running the "no frills" version, with the gray task bar and no visual effects, just to speed things up a tad.


Oh and I also disabled windows search and indexing services. Major resource hogs.

you saying you're 100% innocent with pointing out us giving the game for free? i don't recall torrents being very legal... same goes for a cracked version of Windows 7 (which i also have, but i can run anything properly here).
