When you installed the game did you choose to install the High Res Texture pack?

You can check in your LOTRO folder for the file client_highres.dat. It's over 2gb file. If you have that then you have the best textures available. Then it's just up to your OS and Video Card for how much if these textures you can use. LOTRO has some nice DX10 effects which you can only get with Vista and the newer video cards.

I think you need to buy fraps so you don't get that link on the top. You will also be able to capture more then 10 seconds of video or whatever their limit is. The sound is also louder at some points, and the transitions for video as well as audio aren't very good. It kind of just skips around.

nope.  still the red-headed step child of the AoC family of classes.  Keep kicking our shit in everyone!

They made polearms shorter. Quit complaining.

You just hit Ctrl+F to turn it on.

With the Priest of Mitra the enemy will float in the air for a couple of seconds with a blue glow around him before falling to the ground dead. The casters don't seem to get very many fatalities. You just need to kill an enemy with a spell or a combo to have a chance at a fatality. I haven't noticed any polearm fatalities, although you will still get the buff from them.

When you enter the key it will tell you what it does. There will then either be a Red button saying Upgrade Account, or a link saying GO! or both. Just click one the go to next page. There you will need to click Upgrade Account button and you should be set. Go back to the Main Page of the account and it should list what upgrades you have activated on the account.

You can try out Cal Ripken's Real Baseball. It used to be called Ultimate Baseball Online.

Here is the link for Freestyle Basketball.

The costume and location was pretty good. I didn't like how choppy it was in the beginning. It was pretty annoying. I really didn't understand the story line either.

It will not be on the 360 at launch. The 360 release would be around a year away from the PC launch. I haven't seen an official release date for it yet.

I actually missed my chance to get Early Access and really didn't know I need to rush to get this thing done. Best Buy was taking forever to get their pre-order boxes in. Will be alongside the rest of ya, crashing Tortage on launch day .

Process

I go into the store and pickup a Pre-Order box. It still advertises the Early Access program and doesn't mention anywhere on it that it is limited. It is a main selling point on the box. I get home and go to register the key only to find out then that there are no Early Access keys available. I go to forums and vent.

Funcom didn't tell all of the Distributors (online and in-store) that the Early Access was limited.

What happened?  I bought a pre-order box at Best Buy.  I registered an account and I'm downloading it now on my PC.  I only have about a gig left to download.  Whats all the fuss about?

When did you register? The Early Access is now closed.

It has some screenshots and a media coverage round up. It also has links to the hot topics in their official forums.

For Ghost in the Shell the movie was released first, "Ghost in the Shell", but it happens after Solid State Society.

This would be the series viewing order-

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (2002)

Ghost in the Shell: 2nd Gig (2005)

Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society (2006)

Ghost in the Shell (1995)

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004)

I would recommend watching "Ghost in the Shell" first though, as it will allow you to see if you like the series at all. Netflix has the movie and the first series for view online as well. The movies SAC:Laughing Man and 2nd Gig:Individual Eleven are just compilations of certain arcs from the series put into movie form. It is usually much better just to watch the t.v. series then to watch these compilations to get the full story.

 For Akira there is just the movie that I have seen. For Neon Genesis it would be the original series then The End of Evangelion. I didn't watch Death & Rebirth myself but it sounds like another compilation movie of scenes from the original series as well as some from The End of Evangelion.

You need to remove "Zeitgeist - The Movie" from inside the first brackets. You have it there twice. So it would like like this:
