Spirit of Adventure This is basically Realms of Arkania 0. It seems to use the same engine as far as I can tell, and even the style of the graphics is very similar. It was also developed by the same company (and people) who would eventually make the RoA series. The big differences here are …

A long awaited acquisition for my Presario 425. (Seller pic.) s-l1600.jpg I love this card. It has everything needed for DOS gaming. Can you tell me more about this card? I’m guessing this one has some decent wave table midi? It does not have best of all worlds but it is definitely universal and …

Went to e-waste yard and got this interesting 486. It works, only HDD and Dallas (of course) are gone. It has SB2.0 and Sony CD-ROM with Sony proprietary bus. The only ordinary thing inside is 512kb Trident VGA... I am looking for cache and CMS upgrade now 🙂

Doom sounds great. Distorted guitars are perfectly dirty and ride cymbal is better than on Yamaha MU-80 🙂

DLCs for DS3 are... brutal. The only boss I managed to kill without co-op help was Gravetender. Other ones are just insane. I've beaten almost all "basic" bosses alone. I only summoned NPCs few times. Bosses like Demon Princes, Frieda or Gael was unbeatable for me :-( Same for me! I was able to …

Dark Souls III Finished! I had put this game off for a long time because I was getting frustrated fighting one of the bosses... but I gave it a shot tonight and was able to take him down on my third attempt. It turns out he was the second-to-last boss and the final boss was a bit of a pushover, so …
