fodders Posted April 30, 2002 Yeh I think Intel make a Pentium4 M especially for laptops ? 0 Share this post Link to post
deadnail Posted April 30, 2002 Yeh I think XP even on a laptop still comes with adequate DOS emulation? If not use PRBoom. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lüt Posted April 30, 2002 Doom and Doom2.exe run fine on XP (just turn off soundFX). It's the DOS-based ports that don't run. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted April 30, 2002 If you need a burglar, then find a hobbit. 0 Share this post Link to post
Submerge Posted April 30, 2002 I'd reccomend a Hobbit too, except that they can't jump or swim to save their life. 0 Share this post Link to post
IMJack Posted April 30, 2002 I never understood the relationship between hobbits and thieves. (And yes, I know Rogue is their favored class.) Is it just a size thing, or is it some Tolkein thing I never caught on to? (And hobbits actually get a racial bonus on Jump checks that offsets their low strength.) 0 Share this post Link to post

Is it just a size thing, or is it some Tolkein thing I never caught on to?Aren't those things called Halflings in D&D? Anyhow the relationship is probably that Halflings do not really consider stealing as stealing but more as borrowing. Perhaps they do not find property rights as impressive as others. Maybe they're Anarchists? :) I'll check it with my DM. 0 Share this post Link to post

IMJack Posted April 30, 2002 Halflings are just Hobbits after TSR got sued by Chris Tolkein. It's the same damn race. 0 Share this post Link to post
