      I just can't believe they'd base a movie off the most gutted version of the series in the franchise.

  3. The forum is FUBAR for me. Miserable response time, repeated posts, blah blah blah.]

      So if Mars is near Snickers does that mean they're in Aero space?

      Don't presume to speak for me. I love social networking and a lack of privacy. You don't know me.

      Someone needs to make an ad where they play clips of the old Google bashing, privacy focused ads from MS, but with stitched-in readings of the new terms of service in the middle.

      I sometimes like to play without the lightgem. It's another element of challenge. You have to pay attention to where you're walking, though I still think it's right that it's in the vanilla setup.

      One way to get rid of hud is binding with body awareness: when you take bow, you can see arrows sticking out of quiver at bottom of screen. If you want to see stocked items, you take a look at your chest and pockets under coat, or open sack. Also left hand is not so busy, so you could have light gem as watch on wrist(compass, etc) -left hand could be switched on and off just like right hand with sword.

      Was not aware of that but excellent! I'm going to try that this weekend to up the challenge.

  4. Quickest way to test all the RIT your WIP AI are doing? Set "timescale N", where N>1. Hilarity ensues. Little tippy-tapping feetie sounds as they scurry around your map are certain to put a smile on your face.

      Haha! That's why at work I try to avoid putting coders in an open-plan office. Sketch out your plan on a piece of paper first and cross out stuff you've done is my only advice. It helps when trying to pick up the thread.

      OTOH Red Dwarf is absolutely awesome. I have every series on DVD. Got a bit weak towards the end but when they were firing on all cylinders it was magic.

      Most people I know have never heard of it because it wasn't aired in germany. And it's really hard explaining it without sounding totally silly. Which it is but I love it. ;)

      Yeah I've seen some really nice and convincing skyboxes in TDM. Of note is the one on Chalice of Kings.

  12. In TDM, I pile fences, crates, whatever on top of walls to keep the player from mantling upward. In RL, I pile pillows on the bed to keep our new dachshund from leaping from the floor to the bed. :)

      Just hang a health potion around his neck so if he takes fall damage he'll have a way to resolve it. He'll also look like an odd St. Bernard.

      For some reason I read the first line as "I pile feces". That would keep me off the wall.

  13. From the Master Foundry's review of "Thief" (http://themasterfoundry.com/thief-revew/): "I’ve played better fan missions than Thief, I’ve played better Thief games than Thief, I’ve even played better Thief-inspired games than Thief. The Dark Mod alone is miles ahead of almost anything you’ll find here, and it’s completely free. So please make sure to give that a try before even considering giving Eidos Montreal your hard-earned money."

      Once sentence that was spot on - "Eidos Montreal tries to play it safe by pleasing all, but ends up blackjacking itself in the face with a release that ultimately impresses no one. "

      Just be happy you have a sound system that works properly, unlike us Linux users. So, Windows boots and *then* you get the black screen? I was first wondering if secure boot got messed up. Some apps like LoJack change the MBR. I wonder what happens if a user installs LJ on a new W8 machine with secure boot enabled?

      Black Screen of Death is where the screen is black, the cursor works, and nothing is displayed. Has something to do with Win 8 putting the machine into a state where graphics can't paint the whole screen. Got out of it by accident, and it's been fine since.

      Not Even Doom Music can make working with patches less awful.

      If Doom music is not enough, you can amp it up with Brutal Doom music:

      Brutal Doom music *is* awesome, but NEDM is a meme, basically "even the coolest thing ever can't make what I'm doing right now less sucky".

      +1 on what Sotha said.

  17. Out walking the dog at dawn this morning. Light-sensitive streetlight at the end of the street decides it can turn itself off. House, cars, and street near the light disappear in the dark. My first thought: a visportal closed.
