Recently I bought the Deus Ex Complete Pack from Amazon (the one sold by Mastertronic), and am having serious problems installing the package and uninstalling it. I ran into several errors installing the package, and ended up with three different installs for the game, but was able to figure out how to get the game itself to work. The problem is that I now have three copies of the game on my Vista 32 Premium machine, and when I try to uninstall two of those copies, the uninstall program doesn't seem to know they exist. I try just outright deleting the packages, but my machine requires permission to be able to delete the SystemFiles executables, and I'm unable to give the machine permission even with this advice: paulstamatiou.com/how-to-quickie-vista-permissions

On the subject of mods, a great mod to download is Rise of Mankind if you don't mind constant storms making naval warfare borderline impossible. What it does is completely revamp the civics, the units, and the structures, and adds a mass of new units as well. Get it with the A New Dawn modmod if you like what you see, want more of it, hate the storms, and have an x64 system. Both can be found on CivFanatics.

Apple would have total control of the gaming content world with iGames.

The Civ games delve much further into economic development than the vast majority of RTS's and the Total War games. A good chunk of the victories can be achieved without ever going to war. Plus, watching your civ develop over 6,000 years is infinitely more satisfying than spamming a gajillion tanks at the enemy before they can even build a barracks in my book.

You kids and your graphics cards which can operate at 112 degrees Celsius without failing. >_>

I have an 8800 GT which idles at 53 degrees celsius with the fanspeed at 100% and no overclocking. It fails whenever I do anything graphics intensive for an extended period of time.

Fallout 3. Once I had done the main quest I simply couldn't play the game anymore.

1) It doesn't find about 3000 of the songs that are in the folder I specified. Some of them are protected, so I expect them to not show, but not 3000 of them.

Are the files in question AAC files? The Zune software doesn't immediately convert AAC files to WMA when you run the software (at least I don't think it does). You might have to download converter software to get those files working in the Zune altogether. I am, of course, assuming that the files that don't get read by the Zune are of an unsupported file format altogether, but it's quite possible.

No, I actually converted all the AAC files to MP3 to see if that was the problem, and it doesn't seem to be. It should find all but 323 of the files, because those are Proteced AAC files.

Huh. Did you make sure the converter's output folder was one of the folders specified by the Zune library?

At 0:34 I'm thinking, "HOLY COW STRONG EYEBALL IS STRONG".
