Re: What game are you playing now?

Do you mean graphically? Because it's actually super easy to get into, there's no long character creation process, minimal micromanagement (no NPCs), etc. My least favorite thing about the game was the 800x600 limitation, but I just adjusted GPU scaling in my Nvidia drivers to keep aspect ratio at …

Hmmm. In my middle age I do tend to do better with shorter RPGs, and PoE does appear to be a 60+ hr game, which could take me 2-3 months. FYI, if you like a really good, short RPG, try Eschalon: Book 1. One of the better RPGs I've ever played (and I've played a lot of them, starting back in the …

I did play Baldur's Gate 1 and really liked it, so I think I'll be okay with the real-time pause combat. Pillars of Eternity is VERY similar to BG1, so if you liked that you should also like PoE. While I think BG1 has its charms I've never been able to play it all the way through before getting …

For RPGs on your list I've only played Pillars of Eternity and I personally don't recommend it, then again I've never enjoyed the Baldur's Gate real time pausable combat system in any of these games. I think I would have actually enjoyed them if they had been true turn based. Maybe I'm not the best …

Now that I finished Stonekeep and Medal of Honor Allied Assault, I'm taking a short break and auditioning a few candidates for my next pair of games. Included on the RPG side are: Pillars of Eternity Balrum Eschalon Book2 On the FPS side: Metro 2033 Bioshock Wolfenstein: The New Order

Completed Stonekeep! Much better RPG than I expected it to be. I often see RPG rankings where this is quite low, and games like Anvil of Dawn outrank it. But having played both, Stonekeep is much better than AoD. Where SK excels at is drawing the player into the game world. Technically, it's one of …

Just finished Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. The final mission was brilliant, and the enemy AI was pretty decent to boot! I typically play games like this on Easy skill level, and this game's Easy is pretty pathetic, especially in outdoor environments. Fortunately, the last mission was almost …

IMO you can't go wrong with Microsoft Security Essentials/Windows Defender (depending on Win7/10). It is integrated into the OS and depending on when you check, has anywhere from 95-99% prevention rate. I have used BitDefender Free and like it, but will only choose it for people who refuse to use …

Ambitious project! I played through the game at its release and again in late 2017, but my recall of when the tracks played is not that good. I think you almost *have to* play through the game as you do this. :( I wish you the best, sir. And thank you for your hard work. Unless...what if you …

Re: Games that support multiple MIDI standards...

Posted on 2018-12-31, 03:04

This is not by any means definitive, but a good rule of thumb is if the game was made in 1992 or earlier, than MT-32 will be the preferred device. General Midi became pretty popular in 1993 and pretty much took over by 1994 through 1996. There was some overlap, but typically, the GM tracks will …

Quick update: I reached (L13) Gate of the Ancients in Stonekeep. This is about 3/4 through the game, and based on the 37 hrs I've put into it so far, it should be about a 50 hr game when finished. In MOHAA, I'm trying to exfiltrate the base at the end of the first section of the final mission. …

Still working on Stonekeep...just finished the big back and forth sequence between Feeding Grounds Levels 1 and 2 and the Dwarven Realm, freeing the dragon Vermatrix Goldenhide. I just entered the Faerie Realm. So far I've invested 30 hrs into this game, and it's been well worth it. Here's how the …

Just finished Overload, that spiritual successor to Descent that came out this year. Really really excellent game, fantastic level design, music, graphics, and a fun story. I'm looking forward to this one...just waiting for a sale on it. How long was the game? About how many hours do you think it …
