yeah, that's not my problem. Boot loader does get screwed upon 'installing' XP, but I've re-installed grub to the MBR so many damn times, it's a mindless job for me now lol (I even wrote a script that does it all for me lol, that's how many times I've done it). And Gparted is what I used to create/resize/move/whathaveyou my partitions.

A number of games; KotOR, Starcraft (which runs fine in Wine, the only one), Diablo II, Baldur's Gate II, Arcanum, Planescape, etc. :p

I'm gay.
