Its like after doing laundry and you're one sock short. The Machine Gods require sacrifice!

My wife's uncle once put together a ridable tractor for my toddler son, using the mantra, "We don't need no effin instructions." The bag of unused parts when it was all over foreshadowed the difficulty my son had riding the thing around the property.

I suggest RTFM. Ofc that is if you feel odd about having a few extra screws ^^

what laptop is it? have you looked at putting better heatsink paste on the CPU/GPU heatsink/cooler?

If it's an HP, it might have thermal pad instead of paste on the GPU...possibly on the CPU itself. When re-greasing the CPU, you might consider putting a copper shim (also greased) to replace the thermal pad.

Butter, bacon and eggs. Preferably coddled.

And a great reminder of how DirectX really dropped the ball. Lovely, so glad I decided to learn GL instead of DX back in the day.

Why can't people pick a name for things and STICK WITH IT? This is like the problems Grayman had trying to find the names of missions a wile back...

Every OS enjoys doing these things. how about Program files, program files (x86) and other languages like arquivos de programas...

The fun comes into play when you have a program that expects you to enter the path manually. If you don't, it errors out. So, you get to look up the new location because it isn't shown anywhere because its "too complex" for the average user to understand... lol

Play Assassins creed:The guards there seem to have scopes :-P

but to my credit, I was unable to see the messages from GRUB telling me the architecture was wrong.

Or just store everything on a 2TB internal drive and mirror changes to it with robocopy /MIR every night to another internal 2TB drive

I do want a Synology NAS though...

If your not picky like me, then a DS213J is a bit noiser (no isolation mounts for the drives) but more importantly £75 cheaper!

I haven't seen it anywhere. I got a copy for my original Xbox and it sucks, naturally, but I never got a chance to play it on PC.

The reason a lot of people were unhappy with UT2003 was because they took out Assault Mode.

They could have just patched it in instead of releasing another version right after it, and taking a huge crap on people who bought 2003... hell it could have been an expansion. That's why I didn't buy 2004, because of what they did to 2003.

Yep, the fix didn't involve changing the run speed at all.

I still remember in some old version of TDM, the player was able to hit himself with his sword by running forward and swinging at a particular angle. It cracked me up when I found it.

Raise your hand if you've ever made a component reach tripple-digit temps in celsius!

er, so many times I can be considered Jaded... :-)

got some screenshots?

I actually learned something new: You can use a PCX file to create terrain. Do you guys do that in TDM? I can't imagine building each bit of elevation by hand... What you do is have a file where pixels are interprited as height levels by the game engine.

I suppose it is similar amount of work, dragging vertices by hand or drawing a heightmap. I would prefer the what-you-see-is-what-you-get type 3d viewport vertice dragging.

Yeah everyone has to turn everything into an argument. YouTube comments are the extreme version of this :/

How about writing a Firefox add-on that filters this stuff out of comments automatically? It consists of an AI which can parse coments for their PFF (product fanboy factor) and censor them automatically.

Firefox has that plugin called "comment snob", it can be used to filter out spelling and grammar errors so the tech exists- someone just needs to apply it.

Candles are essential when playing TDM in winter.

Yes - they warm my cold fingers on the mouse and even add much atmosphere

I like using dining candles but instead of putting them in candle holders I put them in empty wine bottles so they can drip all over the bottle. They look bloody awesome!

Is there any way the console could display that? For example, "playing snd_sewer (sewer.ogg)"?

I think/hope so. Instead of printing out newAmbient, it'd print out getKey("newAmbient"). I'll try it for 2.02. There's a reason the mapper has to use a local name BTW, even though it's annoying, because the engine likes sounds to be pre-loaded in their speaker with a local name linked to the track... Otherwise I'd have just gotten the tracks directly from their markers.

Update: Done. That was easy. Hopefully it gets into 2.01 even.

I can do all that with Dos......cause I rock.......shut up

Springs and Modetwo have been PM'd on this matter. And on the subject the spammers was using multiple IPs.

make me admin ploz

modetwo has disabled new registrations for the moment.

I would if I could.

I plan to do a haunted manor FM once the final part of the Vengeance trilogy is complete. So maybe next years Halloween.

I was going to, but siegeshop took up my time. Then I thought of upgrading my p.o.s. Samhain map, but decided to leave that quirky little mission alone. Next year, I suppose. Maybe an 'Garreth goes to Hel' type mission, inspired a bit by the game 'Rune', mixed with the strangeness of the "Constantine" mansion.

LOL. It is rather addicting.

Join us! Join us now!

Just make sure you start with a small mission, or the addiction will show it's side-effects.

Awesome! Congrats

Yeah, this place is crowded

I can't wait to hear more feedback.

Dawin will get them!

Better watch out! :9

I don't care if someone who drives carelessly kills themselves. Their life, their choice, deal with the consequences. What I do care about is some innocent who gets in their way and has to pay for someone elses carelesness.

On the subject of Darwinism, my brother lives on a huge hill. There are winding roads heading up and NO guardrails at all! I told him, "at least you don't have to worry about drunk drivers up here because they wouldn't make it this far". lol

I back up my external HD every month and lock it in my draw at work so if there is a break in or fire in my home all my data is safe at work. I also have a USB in my wallet whose sole function is to save the latest version of my TDM map onto once a week. Got all my bases covered

The data is usually more valuable/priceless than the hardware it is based on...

Yeah... I did '--keep_mirrors' one night. Glad I caught it soon because it was getting from too many mirrors and too many files.

Haha!

Clear Sky on Master difficulty meant bandit pack = roving grenade launcher squad. Constant accurate grenade spam.

When playing CS 1.6 against ZBot's, I always forbid them to use grenades. Can't count how often I was killed by my own teammates who "thought" it would be a good idea to throw some he-grenades at the starting point 8-|

Luckily for you, deliberate experimenting with malware is not illegal...

Well, I did get lots of errors that "This program has performed an illegal operation and will close". Seeing that error again is like seeing an old friend you haven't seen for over a decade. Back in the day, that would come up, and if you clicked close, it just popped up again.

LOL, the memories...

very nice

Well, hack your tablet and opus support should be around the corner too. That said it's good to see the community keep improving the old hardware.

Great!
