I think the best example of the level of detail and nice little touches in LBA is the fact that you can walk with 1 foot in the grass and 1 foot in the dirt and have the correct ground sound with the right foot.

Being able to send the pet away to sell stuff is great, now I don't have to return to town that often and keep collecting gold. I really like this game, too bad I have to go to my new job.

Little Big Adventure 2 is nice, but the first one is much better.

grrr... I want to play this game... have to wait till sunday when (hopefully) my internet works

The Broken Sword games are full of the usual statues. I really hated the statues in Shinobi (endboss)

but the balled has a nicer story development

It's a wizard MMO (mostly for kids): http://www.wizard101.com

ugh... what a shame...

Without no doubt it is this wonderful ballad. ps, What's with calling Idle Thumbs "IT", it's confusing. What does the rest of the IT crowd think about this?

Buying and decorating houses, or messing around with potions and spells, or just the simple exchange game you can play in Daggerfall are quite casual. And there's the thing of following up on rumors and other "social" quests. Anyway.. I read the question not as being hardcore and casual, but more like hard core gaming, or simply pissing time away with simple things in the same game.

I would customize it and make sure you have a decent video card. That's probably the most important part of a PC (ditch the Intel GMA for a real AMD/ATI or nVidia card).

Not the same timeframe, but much older: Daggerfall. If you know Morrowind, like that, but 20 times as large and diverse. I sunk a lot of time in that game.

Idle Voices :/

Unless you want to play the latest and greatest games you don't need a crack ass system. The mid range consumer PCs from Dell or HP are more than good enough to play most of the 1-2 year old games (make sure it contains a dedicated graphics card from AMD/ATI or nVidia). With an Intel GMA you really need to reduce the graphics quality, but you can run pretty much everything 3 years old on acceptable quality settings. A PC gaming system isn't expensive per se, only when you want to play state of the art games. For example, for about 450 euros you have a pretty decent gaming system from Dell (Inspiron 545s w/ Radeon HD 4350). Note: for mobile graphics cards you should add another year to the age of games. (@GrouchoClub) Intel GMA integrated graphics cards often suck, it's always best to get the the GMA X??? HD versions. Ofloading stuff to the CPU usually doesn't help anything because the CPU is usually not powerful enough in configurations which have a low end graphics card (exception being certain workstations which need CPU power but don't need powerfull 3D graphics). Laptops usually suck for gaming, because power and battery efficiency+heat productions usually don't work well together. It looks like you laptop has a GeForce Go 7200, which isn't that bad. Most games from 3 years ago should work reasonably well (4+ for FPS games). The problem is that you don't have a lot of RAM and the GPU isn't that fast. So you should use mid or even low resolution textures, and disable most of the post processing features.

I'm still in the middle of moving. This morning my new furniture from ikea arrive. I already assembled one important item, the resting place for my big ass TV (which will arrive later today). I only needed 5 of the 12 provided Swedish cuss words. I still don't have internet at my new place... so I can't download torchlight (would take ages to download it through my phone)

you are aware it's going to be put down, killed off, euthanized, ..., before it reaches #51

I thought you had a best friend till death did you part

You'd be surprised how often that actually works well. Games quite often don't account for you doing exactly that.

Weee..... I moved... But not having an internet connection is quite annoying.

Why would you be naked?! Did you suddenly lose all your clothes during the crash?!

tl;dr short answer: no long answer: noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

can't nick simply use 0800-wizardon?

Kimmel sucks
