I see. It's a made up word. Then again I suppose all words were made up at some point. I offer my most enthusiastic contrafribularities for using such term, I'm anispeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation.

I beg your pardon?

In what part of that search do you see 'made up word'?... I'm sorry for your lack of vocabulary, though.

The lack of any dictionary definition?

Dude.. get a life.. and a better dictionary.. or a sub to online OED.

There's no need to start throwing personal insults. You were speculating before as to how you get a higher rep. That is how you don't.

You've really worked out your banter, haven't you? ;)

I don't think I ever got round to congratulating you on your avatar. It's a very good choice :).

Selecting a DOS version (to be used with DOSBox) over a Windows version is more future-proof, and usually guarantees compatibility with a much wider assortment of Windows versions, graphics drivers, CPU models and speeds, memory configurations etc., because DOSBox hides such details from the game. Take for example all the older Windows games having problems with multiple CPU cores (e.g. Broken Sword 4 on quad cores?), requiring running as admin, requiring running them with compatibility modes etc... no such headaches whatsoever when running the DOS version through DOSBox.

The DOS versions will run much more probably also on future Windows releases (Win8, 9, 10, 11...) or are pretty easy to get to run on them, as long as DOSBox runs on them as well. No such guarantees whatsoever for any old Windows games, since they always depend on your HW drivers' backwards compatibility etc.

Also, I'm pretty sure Mac and Linux gamers prefer the DOS versions as well, runs better on their systems too.

After all, I think lots of compatibility problems had been reported from GOG Dungeon Keeper 2, which happens to be a Windows version. If there had been a DOS version, it probably would have had much less problems.

Thanks! I like yours as well. I hope we see Grim Fandango here someday. It's near the top of my instabuy list.

Fuck yeah. The old members here are supposed to be the relatively mature ones, but it seems like they're also the most easily aggravated when it comes to people complaining in the main forum. I can see some of that frustration; poking a little fun at it is one thing (I did that a few days ago, admittedly), but calling his name "shitty" and telling him to kill himself is pretty bad. :P

I think that it's pretty obvious what posts he's talking about to anyone who isn't trying to nitpick. Hint: the ones that are counterflaming the OP, not the ones with useful information.
Well, you have to take into account who it was that suggested suicide. Not exactly the most tactful member of this community.

Fair enough mate.. thx for the explaination.. I would have thought it would have been the other way about....

The more you know ;)
Yeah.. and I would have come to that assumption myself.. but that's all it would have been.. an assumption. Too much missing from the post to draw a proper conclusion.

dude...it's not like he was laying out a complex point of view or anything. He was commenting on the immature reactions that some people had. It's perfectly legit for him to assume that everyone is going to understand what he's talking about, just like someone could say "well...SOME PEOPLE blah blah blah negativity," and the people around would know exactly who he's referring to. That's human communication.
