Cats, easily. They are more independent, very soft and cuddly and cute. They are also mischievous, which lends to their cute-ness. Plus, I could probably convince Octy to let me get one!

Fallout and Freespace and the Freelancer/Starlancer series thing that got messed up due to low budget. I love Fallout, especially three, it just feels so... wonderfully apocalyptic. I get that sense of ruined world exploring all the rubble. Plus, who doesn't love Three Dog? AWOOOOOOOOOOOO! As to the others, I love space combat simulators. Favorite. Genre. Ever. It's too bad it died. Nothing is more fun than pulling back on a joystick, pressing the missile button with your thumb, watching a missile fly out from under your wing and blow up another ship!

If they are possible I hope they aren't built with the same intent. See, only three vaults were really built to apocalypse spec. If you read the lore, Vault Tec thought a nuclear apocalypse was impossible and wouldn't happen. In reality all the other vaults were just giant social experiments. Although, aside from certain advanced tech, such as laser weapons and robots, IFF indicators that work like magic, I don't see how they aren't possible. Though, like the lore says they probably would be expensive and take years to build. And therefore the nuclear apocalypse would have to be expected to happen.

Actually, http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/, they ARE bringing Steam and L4D2 to Linux. Regardless of what happens on this Windows front. And for the record, yes, I hate Windows 8 too. Sticking to lovely 7 and Linux.

Glad you got it working! Since I posted that fix, I'll just take credit for it anyway! I've had things like this happen to me all the time. It was very frustrating to search the internet and find nothing. Hopefully, people will find this post and not have to figure all this out on their own like I had to.

Well, uh, a couple of things may fix this. These are things that have fixed it for me over the years: #1: Restart. The Windows solution to anything and everything. Pretty sure it's on the first page or so of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. #2: If you right click on your sound and select: Open Volume Mixer, you'll discover that Windows has different volume controls for different things. Sometimes it'll change rapidly. You can adjust YouTube and Skype separately for example. This is what I would try first. #3: It could be a third party program or your sound card. Try updating your drivers/fiddling with your sound card's program. Also try closing different programs and see if it comes back to normal from that. #4: This is going to sound stupid but have you tried changing the volume from the headphones? Sometimes all my sound will go quiet and I need to adjust the sound from my keyboard/Logitech Headset to get it to go back to normal volume. Well that's all I can think of for now. I'll post if I think of more. For now, good luck, and my Octavia grace you with her presence. Should probably merge this into my first post, but I'm not sure if you'd then get the notification I'd quoted you. EDIT: And then it merged automatically! Like magic! Love this forum. xD Just in case you haven't checked, Windows 7 keeps a separate volume control for different devices. My TV, for example, is set to 100%, while my headset is set to 15%, if I switch to one or the other, the volume will change. If you're using an external sound system, such as a TV, check to make sure that its separate volume controls are also high enough.

I HATE THIS GAME! REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY! For I wanted to be married/stuck on an island with/handcuffed for life with Octavia and instead I'm banished to the moon with Applebloom! Well, at least I've got some apples to eat should I get hungry.

Well, the first I joined was Jurassic Park Legacy way back when so I could hang with a friend. But the it wasn't until a year or so ago that I got into a forum I enjoyed, and made over 666 posts. That one was the Steam Powered Users Forums. I just call them the Steam Forums. However, ponies are quickly becoming a lot more fun to talk about than: GAME CRASHES ON STARTUP PLZ HALP! WTF CHARGER MISSED SURVIVORZ?!?!!? Yeah, absolutely enthralling I know. Plus on here I get to talk about Octavia which makes everything cooler. By about a million point infinity percent.
