Re: Fable Anniversary Edition

I think I have the Mac version. I remember messing with it a bit, but I never really played it. Is it worth my checking it out again, do you think?

Re: Lightning Strikes!

That's a good point about the phone line. Cable and FIOS lines, too, if they are strung on telephone poles (or have their "boxes" up on the poles. When the electricity goes out here, sometimes it surges first or when it comes back on. I lost my really nice stereo receiver/amplifier to a po...

Re: Is this DIY monitor cleaner safe?

That's one advantage of my iMac: It has a glass covering over the screen. Much less worry when it comes to cleaning it, and it protects the fragile screen. It does make it heavy, though...

Re: Diablo II Lord of Destruction - Victory!

So, did you figure out what was going on with the weirdness in the game?

Re: Diablo II Lord of Destruction - Victory!

Your character's body returns to the camp with all the items you had the last time your character died if you quit the game without recovering the body first. In other words, when you restart the game, if you hadn't recovered the body, it will appear in the camp. It seems like the game is resetting ...

Re: Diablo II Lord of Destruction - Victory!

Uh oh, that seems like a bug. Yeah, once you open the portal (in single-player mode), it should stay there until you finish the game and go to the new difficulty level. The only exception is if the "map" gets reset. That usually only happens if you play online or over a LAN. If the map is ...

Re: What Casual Games Are You Playing Right Now, Continued

Thanks. :) The Witcher (and Witcher 3) finally came to the Mac, but they require a better graphics card than what my 2 1/2 year old iMac has... I've been playing Elder Sign: Omens a lot. I can't get the expansions though because I'd have to upgrade my Op system. And if I do that, the Rosetta emulato...

Re: What Casual Games Are You Playing Right Now, Continued

Yeah, Diablo II LOD is a great game! And highly addictive! I still play sometimes. (I have about a zillion characters, and I still make new ones :D )/ It doesn't work on the new intel-only Macs that don't have the Rosetta emulator, though. But right now I have Macs that can handle it. I didn't even ...

Re: What Casual Games Are You Playing Right Now, Continued

I've been playing turned-based "board games" online at Yucata.de -- it's cool because it doesn't involve a large investment of time. Unless someone is requesting a "Fast" game, I can just log in for a little bit and take a turn of several different games, and then check again lat...

Re: What Casual Games Are You Playing Right Now, Continued

Yeah, Avernum's cool.

For casual Mac gaming, it's still Elder Sign: Omens for me.
