      I swear I wasn't doing a google search--this is my second unexpected reference today: "Immediately, the very high acceptance rates of naturopathic programs is striking. On average, nearly three out of four applicants to any program will be awarded admission. What stands out the most to me is that at University of Bridgeport all applicants are welcome to study."

      Am I the only one that found it ironic the "steak & ice cream" refered to minimalist gameplay in that quote, and the "relief" referred to the script & explosion heavy escape sequence?

      Yes. This year has been nasty for illness. The weather has been on the warmer side, and I think that contributes. Get well soon, everyone.

      I had an odd bug last year for 6 weeks. Get some broad spectrum antibiotics or a Z-pack and wipe that shit out. It sucks to feel under the weather. Get well.

      I went through hell to get the mouse working. Turns out that any Icon\Text scaling will make it unplayable. Must have all destop attributes at native defaults. My eyes are not happy reading the tiny text and I don't want to lower my desktop resolution and have a blurry mess. Oh well. I can play now.

  12. Anyone know anything this? Great vid as always Gggman. btw if you ever decide to go back to this, you can Google "dsounds.dll" or "doom 3 surround sound" that somewhat fixes the surround sound in the game (Doom 3 originally supported it back in the day but seems to be missing in The Dark Mod). Having said that you're right, it's disappointing that surround sound is sorely missing from many games these days, only one I know that did it well was Alien: Isolation.

      dsound.dll is part of creative alchemy, if your running windows vista and above this needs to be installed if your running a creative card - like your audigy.

      He's a douche, that's about it. Worse than Shadowhide, at least that guy contributed to the mod in some way. Aprilister just tells everyone that they're wrong and to go fuck themselves.

      I haven't been active for quite some time, so I might have missed some of his nicks inbetween. Not that it matters. However, he actually has quite a well-sounding voice, so at least for the audio department it's some kind of loss.

      This wasn't wifi. The ipod plugged directly into the stereo with a dock. Before the ios update, it worked fine. Now it won't. Some progress.

      Ahh, My brother has an Iphone and Apple TV. He can wirelessly send the video and audio from the phone/pad to the TV and even the video is fast and smooth. After using stuff like VNC which isn't even smooth on a ethernet LAN, this was fairly impressive.

      There is a way to backdate, but its difficult at best from what I have heard.

      Sorry for your loss.

      Putting down your pet is hard, but watching it dying in suffering is way more traumatic.

       

      From other side my cat had serious kidney dysfunction and needed drip every few days -but against veterinarian's prognosis my cat had recovered. So it can be hard to decide when to give up.

      At least you were there to let her know that it was time for her to move on...I've been in the same position. Not one I like to revisit often. I did however make audio recordings of the animal while she was still alive so she lives on digitally forever.

  22. Finally getting around to playing Dishonored, and I think I can see where Thief4 got a lot of their ideas....

      Dunno, Thi4f's dev cycle started several years ago. Could it be parallel evolution?

       

      Anyway, it's ironic how Dishonored seems to be the real deal now, and Thi4f the cheap knockoff.

    3. Springheel

      Springheel

      I'm finding that I _really_ dislike the aesthetic of Dishonored. Don't like the character models at all, and I don't find the combo of old and new technology visually pleasing either.

      I ended up mostly really liking DH's visuals - parts of the game have an almost majestic desolate beauty. What finally killed it for me was (i) dull characters & story, and (ii) its overwhelming grimness. A Low Chaos game was unpleasant; I edged into High Chaos and (for me) it just became revolting.

  23. Fun bug of the day. AI stops in the middle of a conversation and walks five minutes back to the beginning of the map, then turns around, walks 5 minutes back, and finishes the conversation.

      get ultimate boor cd and run Memtest_x86, Like Biker said. Then also run the hdd diagnostics from that disk (Seatools 2.xx is a good one but try to match hard drive manufacturer).

      May just have to do that, as I had a BSOD last night. Don't want to get distracted from standalone stuff though, so I'm trying to live with it for now.
