by Maarten Goldstein, Nov 13, 2002 8:06am PSTDVD-ROM problem that I mentioned yesterday was fixed. How? Yeah..a reboot :) Still strange though, last month I had a problem with the drive where I had to uninstall and reinstall it because it wouldn't let me explore the CD in Windows. So something is wrong, but so far these problems have been able to fix. And to get to other computer fun... NVidia's latest official drivers (40.72) FINALLY let me upgrade without Windows XP bitching. I had been stuck on 28.xx for months because every time I tried upgrading, Windows would say I had an unidentified videocard after rebooting and I had to do a driver rollback. But no more. Didn't notice a whole lot of difference in most games, except Unreal Tournament 2003. Suddenly the 'feel' of that game is much better. Was up pretty late deathmatching and checking out all the maps in the full version, hence the later than usual update today. Movie: Truth is appearance, but appearance isn't always truth.

All these post with people putting up their music has prompted me to totally copy them do it also.
The genre is hard to pin down, but there's a healthy mixture of Blues, Rock, Folk, as well as some Hard Rock etc.

Sound's perfect, Music's perfect, Graphics rock, Storyline owns (the poems in between levels are great), atomosphere is good, some of the levels are just spectacular, and of course the gameplay sucks...not that it's all that bad, but you see how well done everything else is and a balls out shooter just doesn't cut it :(

I want all of Doom and Doom 2's levels in one package, all glossy with fantastic production values.
I want to run Id Software.
:(
Basically, I don't want Doom 3 cause, quite frankly, it may be the best game I've ever played and I may never uninstall it and I might create a shrine to it in my closet, but from what I've seen, it will never be Doom, and that makes me sad.

Ok, so I work for a pretty big time transporation compant (think trucking) as a software architect/Systems Analyst <insert meaningless title here>. As part of my compensation package I agreed to a 'performance bonus', one for the completion of each of projects. So, me thinking they were honest and good standing folks, agreed to these terms, contractually, in writing, with the CEO, myself, and managers all signing it. So, 6 months go by, I finish the project, it gets major kudos (lets just say the VP of transportation of the company we were doing the project with was thrilled by it), and prolly means big bucks for the company, etc. So, the next day, I go
Me: "so, my bonus kicks in now for the scheduler project, right?"
Manager: "Sure, I'll be getting it signed any day now."
Me: (naievely) "Ok, great!"
<3 days pass, they fire the CEO and a bunch of brass, and one of the founders take the reigns back...>
<week passes>
Me: "So, uh, like, when is that check gonna show up?"
Manager: "Well, <Executive X> was fired before we got him to sign it."
Me: "riiiiiiiiiighhhttt....and....so.... now..... ?"
Manager: "No problem, we'll get the new CEO / board member to sign it"
Me: "er. well. ok." (wtf am I gonna say?)
Manager: "dont worry. Any day now."
<Another week passes, I ask about it periodically...>
Me: "Check in yet? What sort of time frame are we looking at?"
Manager: "<Office space voice>weeeeeeelll, we are really working on getting it signed for you, but, you know, I appreciate you being patient...</Office Space Voice>"
Me: "right. so. what sort of time frame are we looking at....."
Oh, dont worry guys, I wasnt needing that 2500 bucks, you know, its not like it was owed to me contractually or anything... TAKE YER TIME.
im not pissed. really.

And at that point I stopped in my tracks. Why don't I just have a relaxing stroll through the store? Too bad I couldn't.
