Here's another new person playing TDM, with commentary. In some of the videos, she has trouble blackjacking because she doesn't aim for the head. Also, she did what another gamer did and knocked Gridley with a candle on Score to Settle. This causes him to break, unable to finish his conversation. Is there some way to fix that? E.g. if a character is talking, they are not movable? The NPC needs to not respond unless the player actually attacks them. Perhaps she can do with some gameplay tips? Is this person on the TDM forums? I am not a Youtube member any longer so I cannot post any there. Always stand up before blackjacking somebody, do not do it in a crouch, or you will usually miss the head. Watch out for rooms with extremely low ceilings when going to blackjack somebody.

When I was fixing other peoples' computers, somebody brought in a laptop with a BADLY deformed AC adapter. It was charred and must have gotten extremely hot at some point. It cracked me up... "dude, were you seriously using this thing?! ...... Like hell I'm gonna plug that in!" You gotta love the users. They're just so funny. They'll try to plug something into a charger, and all they care about is "if it fits". They do not check the voltage, or polarity, or current, or anything.

had to reactivate Win 7 due to a hardware change. I have the family pack for 3 PCs. I call them, it asks how many PCs its installed on and I say 3. It says I'm not allowed to do that... Just another reason not to support the developers. At least I got this used, so they got nothing from me.

Plus you could get Office or any other non-Dev/Dev software (depending on the package) software for essentially free. Then they took the Technet Sub price and ramped it up from 400> $750!! You used to be able to get it on special for $258. My brother and I split the cost@129 a piece and got 4 unlimited Ultimate licenses +office and whatever else. It was nice for a while.
-
Just like with mobile, they want a single license tied to a device. The motherboard changes and its no longer valid.
-
Regarding tieing a licence to a single motherboard, fortunately for the end user that isn't legally binding despite what MS or any other idiot says.
Software companies have been under this illusion for years.

I didn't really care too much for System Shock 2... until I reached the recreation deck. The environment just wasn't that interesting. Then it got all dark and scary, with enemies attacking in interesting ways and now I'm really enjoying it.

I'm at the Rickenbacker now... Also, I did try the SS1 demo a wile ago, but it hasn't aged as well as SS2 has. I'm not talking about graphics, but the engine in general. That would have been extremely impressive when it came out though.

There's a mouselook mod that makes it easier to play, though when you're familiar with the UI and all it becomes very fluid and natural.

Its funny hearing the voices of "Thief guards" as the crew of the ship.

I disagree. If you can exercise without going outside, you can still do whatever you like while you exercise. For example, you can listen to loud music and not have to worry about your surroundings.
-
Yeah, looks like I have plenty of options to choose from. For starters, there's this: http://www.amazon.co...e+exercise+bike And then there's this: http://www.amazon.co...e+exercise+bike All with good prices compared to monster-sized machines. Then there's this: http://www.amazon.com/MagneTrainer-ER-Mini-Exercise-Bike-Exerciser/dp/B000V53KD8/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1408069100&sr=8-11&keywords=portable+exercise+bike Looks good because it does the arms too, and you do not have to plug it in. Having to plug an exercise bike in always seemed retarded to me, when YOU are generating power riding the thing. This runs on a single AA, which is close enough. Its not like those tiny little computers require a lot of power.

Ever have a show that you enjoyed listening to turn into nothing but constant advertising? Yeah, people have to cover their costs but when the first ten minutes is spent trying to sell you stuff, you reconsider listening in the future.

This Gold loot was brought to you by: Heinecken. Get Gold, get Heinecken.

Future loading screens for my upcoming FMs will now feature jokes from my upcoming stand up comedy shows. Did you guys know that before I started making TDM FMs I used to run an Origami business? Unfortunately it folded.

Before this job I was actually a social worker for those addicted to plastic surgery. It really took off: each week I'd see more and more new faces. It clearly wasn't working.

Well there's love and then there's obsession. I had a girlfriend a long time ago that started calling me at least four (yes FOUR) times a day. As you can imagine, it got real old, real fast. Useful hint for anybody out there, if you are in love with somebody, do not annoy the shit out of them. I (like everybody else) went through that teenage phase where you want to spend every waking second with somebody. I grew out of it though. Its just not realistic, practical, or even bearable. This is also the reason I do not believe in a heaven or a hell. If I take an activity which I enjoy more than anything else in the world and I imagine spending eternity doing it, Said activity would eventually become hell. Even having to *exist* forever would eventually turn into hell... because forever is a *long* time. Understand? At some point, I will just cease to exist entirely... and I'm completely cool with that.

I meant _every_ word I said to that scammer. If I had a neighbor who tried to rip me off every day, and one day I saw their place being robbed, I would whistle and walk away. I had a friend who passed due to cancer a long time ago (before any of this). I still feel bad because I did not go to his funeral. The guy was really nice, but smoked like nobody's business. That is really sad. Smoking, drugs, and alcohol have never appealed to me at all but I still *am* against banning them... oops, I messed up there.
-
Like you, I'm a bit of a cold person. I have had scammers call me. I rudely told them in a loud voice "no, I'm not interested". The guy then told me to shut the fuck up. I told him "make me". He then said "I will". I then told him "I hope you get cancer". After this, the guy's demeaner changed from a hostile one to a stunned one. He was like "That's cold dude, I can't believe you would say that to somebody." Even now, I do not regret telling him that. Its like you say, we get tired of people's bullshit; trying to take advantage of us at every opertunity. It makes me smile to imagine that (if that guy does end up getting cancer some day), he will recall the cold person who wished it upon him in the past.

Hey guys, I'm interested in being able to exercise inside where my computer is, because I spend too much time with my fat ass in the chair. Can you recommend any compact gear that exercises both the arms and legs? Not being a fitness guy, I have *zero* experience buying this kind of hardware. I like exercise bikes, but they are on the large side. Do foldable models exist? For the arms, I can always just use dumbells I guess.
-
I saw the HD texture mod for the original Thief. Holy crap, some of the textures look great! I'm particularly talking about the stained glass textures.
-
Perhaps, but what if nearly everybody whome you would have called a friend in life just ignores you? What if you tried to talk to them and after months went by, almost all of them still did not respond? All of the material crap in the world will not make you happy if you feel as though everybody ignores you on purpose. I've got *two* friends who actually acknowledge my existance. If I try to talk to them, they respond. Perhaps not right away, but they do respond. I personally believe people have a right to do what Williams did, for various reasons. Consider a drunk driver who does double the speed limit. He crashes, killing several people. Our drunk driver somehow survives though. Now mr. drunk gets to spend the rest of his life in a cage. I'm not arguing with that, I just believe Mr drunk needs to have the option of suicide. In some ways, its better for him, and better for society as well if he chooses suicide. He doesn't have to sit in a cage for the rest of his life and society doesn't have to build a cage suitable for yet another condemned person. My personal belief is that it isn't about humanity. We want to keep that drunk alive and in the cage so that we can point at him, mock him, and enjoy his displeasure. Also consider a person with a terminal illness. Why would they want to spend ages suffering in a bed with no cure as their condition slowly gets worse? There is no "race to find a cure" for a lot of medical conditions, because there are "more important" things to focus on, whether they be the pointless war on drugs or increasing the survailance state. Medical costs are sky high. In this instance, its like society is forcing him to stay alive just so they can leach off him. It would be interesting to read about what was going through Mr. Williams' head and what finally made him do it. There's always a reason.

Yep, any old stereo headset can give you surround sound. It has to do with the way the audio data is encoded into the stereo channels, which fools you into believing something is behind you. I can for instance load up a game, close my eyes, spin around lots with the mouse, and still tell where a sound is, even when its behind me (using a headset). I've never tried it with things that are above/below me though.
-
Hasn't everybody contemplated suicide at some point in their life? It takes guts to actually go through with it though. I wonder what his reasons were; why he was depressed. Did he leave a note?
-
I wonder what MS is gonna do about all these Chromebooks? They were able to stop the flood of netbooks before, but not this time! I love that these things are gaining in popularity and making Windows less and less valuable. Also, NVIDIA please do an X86 based Chromebook with your chips in it.

Isn't it funny when a program never crashes... unless you happen to have been doing something for the past ten minutes without saving in that time?
-
@Spy: If you're going to record vocals, it would be a good plan to grab a copy of Audacity (free). The program is LOADED with features to help you get the best sound quality. You can remove background hissing, amplify your recording so that it is at 0 db and thus not quiet, and more. Always record to wav and then save as a lossy format (vorbis/wma/mp3) when you are finished editing. If you convert from wma to ogg or vice-versa, you reduce quality further unnecessarily. Also, TDM does not use WMA.

Fan Mission: Ulysses: Genesis by Sotha (2014/07/24)

Yep, if you're using the "drop inventory" key to place the mines, they will not be armed. They will not go off even if you dance the Macarena on them. "Use them" like you would use the lantern, or your lockpicks, or the health potion for them to be armed. -
Its always nice when you can re-purpose an old "useless" part instead of buying something new. I needed a washer for something but didn't have any. I found an l-shaped piece of metal from some old project that had a hole in it, bent it to an acceptable shape, and it solves the problem.

Did I miss anything? EDIT: two small bugs I have found... -
Yeah, I imagine you would be better off with an APU-powered laptop for cheap gaming on the go. I've seen cheap machines even running Skyrim, which is impressive. Also, as far as Chromebooks, this bad boy would run TDM. It still would not run well though, and no way would it run at native resolution! https://play.google....ixel_wifi&hl=en EDIT: I wonder if Google would be able to (or even interested in) getting TDM usable on Chromebooks? If they're going to take on Windows, they do need to have at least *some* games. Would they be able to offer TDM for free as long as they respect the rules?
-
Sure, it will run T1/2... at least missions that do not push extreme limits, such as huge textures via the new mods or masses of geometry. I've seen some T2 missions that can make a P4 beg for mercy.
