I've got ya covered broseph. I e-mailed Atari yesterday asking if Windows 7 truly DOES work or not. I'm hoping they'll be honest, otherwise I'll just file a CC dispute with them or tell Amazon they have fraudulent advertising. Heh.

WHAT THE FUCK I HATE STUPID CORPORATIONS STAFFED BY STUPID MORONS THAT ARE STUPID. A;SDKAF;SLDKA;S.

Thank you for contacting us

In this case i suggest you check the forums in order to have all your questions answered regarding the compatibility of the game.

Thank you
Atari Support

So let me get this straight... You're selling a product. You label at as running in Windows 7. Someone e-mails you asking if that is correct, and you tell him to check your forums? Are you fucking kidding me?

Hi,

Do you have a link to a specific thread or forum board I can look at?

Thank you for contacting us

Unfortunately no, but you can check on the official forums ether for the game or Atari in order to get the answers.

Thank you

I saw that, and I'm tempted. I think I'll ask Santa. It'd be nice to have some older games to play on my laptop while I'm waiting for the supercomputer to render images. If anyone here buys it, let me know if the installation and gameplay works well on Windows 7 and modern machines. I imagine they've fixed any issues, but I thought that about Steam, too. Nothing says awesome like spending an hour scouring forums for a fix.

I'm definitely one of those that has lost the time. My Thanksgiving break will be spent hungover playing Skyrim -- it's the only break I'll get in the quarter to play that game.

And hopefully I'm graduated when Diablo 3 comes out. I feel it'll be easier to balance a game and work than it will school and work. School is currently a flurry of work. It's like they want you to burn out right before you finish. Bastards.

I realized yesterday, I have the time. I just don't particularly care to play much anymore. The anonymity of the interwebs means everyone's a douche, even in pay-to-play games. I don't care to find a "no dipshits allowed" server for anything, nor do I want to deal with DRM. Oh well.

Speaking of TES. I have Morrowind downloaded [and burned to CD]. GOTY version. Will it install fine on Win7 or do I need to do some compatability bullshit? I never could get into that game, even though I've heard great things about it. Mainly because the starting was so... not interesting. How long until it got good?

Also, I want to restart Baldur's Gate but don't want to deal with 'please change disc'. I remember you + iago said there was a workaround.. What was it?

I'd rather the former, but if its the latter, let's hope it goes out in a giant explosion; those are always cool.

I second this.

I digress, I check this place semi-frequently but I definitely wouldn't be able to keep up if this board got back to 6000 posts/month. I'm way busy as of late. We need some young blood here that can. I know we said we'd get some activity when SC2 came out. Let's just shoot for D3 and if that fails, blow up the computer hosting the server.

Who even regularly plays video games amongst us anymore? I know I don't -- I've stopped caring for the online culture. I play once or twice a week in pick-me-up games to kill time or to play, but I lose heart quickly. Similarly, I imagine as we all got out of our teens and into college, PhD programs, work, etc. we've either lost the time or desire to pursue regular gaming.

I KNOW YOU POST ON STYLEFORUM

I have the opposite problem, I cannot find shirts that fit well for the life of me. I have a skinny neck, long arms, and big shoulders. Basically anything I find that fits my neck is guaranteed to be an inch or more too small in the shoulders. Hate hate hate.

I should introduce you to my alterations tailor. That guy's worked miracles with my wardrobe.

Come to hawaii. every cute azn girl is wearing abercrombie ;p

I don't have an Asian fetish. I like teh forbidden fruits... white chicks.

Relax, hipster.

Lol.

Having met Sidoh multiple times and seen his FB photos, we shop at pretty much the same clothing retailers haha.

I'm with deadly on his sentiment against "Graphic T's" which plaster ridiculously huge branding on them... I remember it was maybe two or three years ago, I think during their spring/summer line when Aeropostale decided to triple or at least double the size of their "A87" logo on every product they sold.  Normally I find their logo amusing since I was also born in '87, but I found it obnoxiously annoying, so that season I did not buy anything from them .  In fact, I haven't bought a "Graphic T" in a couple years now from any clothing retailer.  But like Sidoh said, there's plenty of other types of shirts to buy depending on the season, albeit Graphic T's are the cheapest style of top to wear.  I still buy mainly my clothes from Aeropostale, American Eagle, and Abercrombie (shit, didn't realize they all started with the letter A, WTF >_<).  The quality is ain't shabby at any of the triple A's, but the prices are notably different amongst the three (listed them in order of cheapest to most expensive). 

I can empathize with deadly even though I'm a few inches taller than him, I too find it difficult to go into a store and find smaller clothing sizes that fit me.  The real reason I shop at the triple A's is because I'm lazy, apathetic to whether the clothing style befits me or not, and just want to get the whole chore over with.  I can reliably walk out of the store with something that fits and not have put in a lot of effort; when I go to try on a size SMALL top/bottom or 28x32 or 30x32, size pant I am >90% confident that it's going to fit.  Whereas at department stores and other retailers, size and fit varies greatly.  There's a 25% probability that a size SMALL anywhere else is going to fit me satisfactorily, and I can forget about trying to find a X-SMALL in the color/print I'm looking for because that probability is even lower.  Granted, I've found that I generally can't find clothes that fit ANYWHERE during major sales and clearance events, which is why I've stopped trying to buy clothing during these times.

I used to not care about clothing, and back then I would shop at all your typical mall stores. Express, Abercrombie, Aeropostale, etc etc. That led to me amassing a lot of clothes, most of which suck. Now I spend more per item and get fewer items.

Pants are definitely where finding clothes sucks. My waist is definitely smaller than a 30, but no stores carry smaller than a 30. I will on occassion find some jeans at Old Navy that are a 28 or 29, and those fit better. When it comes to suit jackets and shirts, if I look hard enough for my size I find things fit me well without tailoring.

Mostly everything I've tried? Abercrombie isn't the best quality, but it's certainly above average. I'd never buy something at full price there; that'd be ridiculous.

Fair enough. I don't really go to Abercrombie, Express, etc. anymore so I liken them all to each other. Slowly phasing out the stuff I bought from there with nicer things I find at Saks, Neiman Marcus, certain online retailers, etc.

Then don't buy a shirt that has the name plastered on it. They have plenty of clothing with no mention of their name (although they usually have the moose on them. i happen to like moose, so that's a plus for me ).

The only clothes I remember seeing were on bros with bigass Abercrombie text on them. Heh. I'm sure I've met people that wear other A&F clothing, but I don't remember.

I don't really care, honestly. I'm just sort of irked when people say something like THAT STORE IS FOR DOUCHES MAN

SIDOHS TURNED INTO A DOUCHE BRO, GOTTA DEFEND HIS OWN KIND!

This nonsense about abercrombie => douche sort of confuses me. The quality of their clothing is significantly higher. So is the cost. Get stuff on clearance, and you no longer have to worry about the cost.

Significantly higher than what? I can assure you any brands I buy wouldn't be on that list.

Also, any shirt that's plastered with the company's name in size 80 font screams "douche bro" to me. Then again, I've stopped finding t-shirts appealing.

shop at abercrombie. their clothes are pretty much designed for azns.

I don't know, I might as well custom design a tee-shirt that says "DOUCHE" in big letters and wear that instead. Amounts to the same thing, but would be cheaper...

I'm apparently horribly ignorant.  WhereTF are you?

Wouldn't matter. Clothes proportionally sized for a 5'5" person don't exist, unless he's got a huge waist. Contrastingly, in Asian countries where the average height is closer to mine, I can find stuff that actually fits.

@deadly, western clothes?  like...wranglers & shit?  You aint shopping properly, then.  "western" clothes, from what I've found, have the best selection of sizes.  small waist + tall to fat + short.

Clothes sized for Americans, sorry.
Unless you're: short and stout, tall, or anywhere in between, you won't fit without getting stuff tailored down.
To date, I've found *ONE* pair of jeans in my life that I can wear without a belt holding them up, and they were raw denim.

Dude, get on Myspace! We're all there all the time.

Sidoh and I are currently fighting over Boolean algebra on Facebook.

I'm fb friends with: Joe (I think?), Ergot, Newby, Sidoh, and darkdrake. I don't ever use FB chat and it's just a form of e-mail for me otherwise. That and I post interesting articles I come across.

+1 on the exercise thing. In the last couple years, I've dropped like 50+ pounds and 6" of waistline. Starting to feel better about myself. Honestly, a big part of it was the process of "coming out" and being proud of who I am. Who knew?

I've lost an inch or two on my waist from starting weight lifting. Which sucks, because I already don't fit in Western clothes. -_-
