Top down 2d in space ship plus somewhat colorful almost makes me want to say flatspace, but I think that's past win 95 era...

Just make sure to try the Magicka demo before buying. I... personally, I really should have. None of the computers I have access to can run the thing to a decent extent

Even despite meeting the system reqs with a couple of 'em.

"Well away from fraternities and vegetables" may in this case mean "in your most disliked neighbor's garden" solving several birds with a single beer buttered stone.

... sounds like something LW would suggest, really.

Yeah I've done that, only with task manager though, and there's no obvious culprit. Though really I don't want to fix it when it breaks, I want it to not break at all.

Mm... sounds like you need to activate seeing processes from all users or whatnot, if you can. To at least see what's causing it. If it's something that requires that, though, it might (doubtful, but not impossible. Most of the stuff behind that toggle is services junk) not be related to the game. And maybe get process explorer. It is Nth times more awesome than task manager, ha.

Hear yeh on the just want it to not break, though. It's always nice when it doesn't...

... kick open task manager (or, better yet, get process explorer) and see what process is chewing up the CPU. Possible the program's not closing properly and continuing to consume system resources after you've told it to close.

... I... might be interested. Depends on whether I can manage to get WC3 functioning again... CDs aren't in very good shape, ha, and I've no clue if the game'll play well with this computer. Plus a couple of fairly important things are somewhat missing >_>

Still. See about getting it set up. Was a pretty big fan of the old LotR maps in Starcraft, heh, but somewhat terrible with the WC3 versions of such things. GMT-6, with a fairly flexible schedule for a few more weeks, heh.

Wouldn't happen to have links to the map files you're intending on using, would yeh?

People still read fan-fiction? Well, more specifically Harry Potter fan-fiction.

People keep writing it, and some of it continues to be good. Until that stops, people will keep reading. Is not surprising concept.

Hell, I still read Ranma or Sailor Moon fanfiction when something decent pops up, and for whatever reason decent stuff keeps popping up. They've been writing this stuff since before a good chunk of the people on this forum were born, and the train just keeps coming. Is one of the reasons I love fanfiction, yes.

In completely unrelated news... apparently Capcom made D&D into a side-scrolling Beat'em-Up. It's the meeting point between Spikey Haired Swordsmen and Owlbears, and it's Anime as hell.

... just now finding out about this, huh? First released in '96~

Guess the re-release thingy's been stirring up some new attention? You might also be interested in Tower of Doom! Released two years earlier, japanese exclusive. Think it may have been included in the remaking stuffs, dunno. Remember them both being pretty decent as beat 'em ups go.

Well, they're apparently intending fossils. No clue about anything beyond that. Don't even particularly remember if much has been said about the implementation of th'fossils, honestly.

Yeah, nin'd.
