Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, May 27, 2002 6:16pm PDTAh man, holiday weekend ending already? WTF? A few folks should be happy to hear Jack messed around with the dthread code and we're pretty sure snagged that last bug that showed up after a bit of use. I anticipate 5 more bugs have come up though on all those fruity alternate browsers.
- Some superjet being tested - Cab drivers are honest - The 80/20 rule, thanks Fark - Anti-terror eavesdropping - Online? It's a fadLastly, saw this at E3 being demonstrated. The chick thought it was wonderful, I was like uh... meh.

I thought I'd share this because it was really pissing me off - you know, the slight pause you get when you enter/exit a car, change the radio, or seem to get occasionaly when the sound changes. Copy the Audio folder from CD2 into the GTA3 Audio folder.
Holy shitballs did my performance increase. The initial loading was almost instant and there is absolutly no lag/drop when entering cars/changing stations. It also performs a lot better in general (framerate/smoothness). I have a fairly high-end machine too (P4-1.8GHz, GeForce 3 64MB, etc) and there was a noticable increase in performance.
The only downside is that the audio files take up about 700MB of space.

Cool article on Next-Gen Interfaces. I thought that quote was pretty good, and it's a large reason why I stay away from Linux on the desktop. Imitation is far too prevalent.

*** includes spoiler ****
in the 1st mission for the corrupt cop in staunton, i have to throw a grenade in a window.
but everytime i tried doing that, it didn't go in, but came back from the wall and hit me.
i even tried climbing on top of a van and throw it from there, but that didn't do it either, instead it just made the car i stood on explode -> killed me!
HELP!

Tim Willits: "Exactly. It's like the original never happened. The player is on the Mars base, and they arrive sometime before the invasion so they can walk around in a non-threatening-type environment. They can sense something's wrong, then "the event" happens, and the pinkydemons attack. There are people that aren't possessed that are working with the player Â… or they're working against with the player -- there's lots of mystery, there's lots of suspense. As you saw in the video, there's a good amount of scary horror scenes.
The first game was an over-the-top action game. We want a scary-horror action game. It is a slower pace, as you saw, but we think that pace will really help immerse the player in that terrifying experience"

I love Rockstar. They mean more to me than Id or Epic or Raven. I didn't think they'd be able to top GTA2. My bad. Good night.. it's seven thirty am >:(

Colombian commandos: Cuidado!
Russian commandos: one of three phrases containing a syllable sounding like "cre" or "cray". Perhaps that's part of the Russian word for "grenade"
Hong Kong thugs: one of three phrases that barely sound alike.
Prometheus commandos and Seaward Star crew: nothing. You pray that you can hear the clanking of the grenade against the ground, and even then there's a point where one blows up in front of you and chews off at least 60% of your health and armor, forcing a load of the last save.
