The Hermes boots seem to give a barely noticeable speed boost as it is... though they may have capped max movement speed as they did attack speed.

Damn. And I was looking forward to 7 swings a second with my Muramasa. (Probably incorrect info, but it was on the wiki...)

Playing on my sister's DS, I had fallen into a quick obsession with Lost in Blue. Wish there were more detailed survival games with the same amount of fun, but whatever.

I never really got into handhelds after I got a computer. Even my PSP lasted me less than a year due to mediocre games and Sony locking the firmware down after allowing homebrew on initial versions (and custom firmware with such gems as Nethack and OTTD, along with Final Fantasy 7 were the only reason I played with it that long).

My GBA was the prize possession for a while; Advance Wars defined the system for me, along with countless other titles that I probably still have stashed in various places around my house gathering dust. Castlevania (I believe it was Circle of the Moon; it had RPG levelling and other elements to it) also was pretty good.

I haven't had much luck with MSI products (replacing the faulty motherboard was a bitch, although that could have partially been due to the computer being fairly cheap and somewhat badly put together by the guys at CyberPowerPC).

Any nVidia suggestions? Or even ATI. I'd rather stick with nVidia not due to any degree of fanboyism (I've had both types of cards in the past) but due to being familiar with it and having the updater on my system.

Beam sword combo up close, throw it to the side then back away firing my shields grenade launchers. Then I throw THAT aside and fire a few rounds of my rifle, then fly into the air, the hilt of my other beam sword comes flying from my hip into my hand, and holding it in reverse, I fly down, stab them through the chest (WITHOUT LOOKING), and pull it out. Both of us remain still for a second.

Then he explodes gloriously.

What is this game, for the love of God. It sounds epic. Too epic to exist actually...

There aren't obsidian background walls yet, right?

No. And for this I am sad. Although the blue dungeon walls look decent.

I currently have a GT 220 that's starting to show its age. It runs most things fairly well, but I get tired of having to cut down settings in the interest of running smoothly (League of Legends with everything on High runs at ~40 FPS average; New Vegas has a fair amount of stuttering and that's with medium-low settings; Mass Effect 2 can have some bad slowdowns at times).

My only problem is having to find a new video card within my $100-$200 price range. I'm more of a software guy; all the numbers and letting don't mean a whole lot to me as far as video cards are concerned (GT220? 5450? Blah blah blah, tell me what the damn thing does)

Add on to that the fact that I will likely have to upgrade my power supply, and I'm looking at a small investment, likely in the $300+ range. Granted, I bought this computer fairly cheap with the intention of upgrading it piece by piece as I went along (having given it a nice motherboard and RAM upgrade already; learning as I go).

Any suggestions? As far as the video card is concerned, I was looking at
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127510

And I'm still deciding on a power supply. I would like something in the 750W range, to allow for further expansions, and I had something planned out a couple months back but it doesn't look like Newegg has it anymore.

Orianna looks kinda boring, but that's more my playstyle. I'm not a fan of Teemo for the fact that he needs to rely on something other than direct skills to do well. Not a fan of "pet" classes. Maybe fun to mess around with but not as a main character.

Unfortunately, there's no good mods for New Vegas, unless you like smooth skinned busty broads in lingerie filling your gritty, filth-covered, post-apocalyptic world.

Blasphemy. I have a fairly extensive mod list that focuses on gameplay, balance, adding new weapons/armor/etc. There are lots of good ones out there.

New Vegas definitely had a different feel to it. The writing was better, the ending actually was worth not being able to continue (even with DLC; preserving the "true" end of the story was a good way to do it, imho), and it just felt more Fallout-ish. Hard to explain if you haven't played the originals.
