by Maarten Goldstein, May 24, 2003 10:28am PDTLooks like I'll be picking up Rise of Nations in the near future. The response to that game is pretty damn good, as you can see in the reviews listed in the game reviews post. I forgot all about the demo that was released, must've been the E3 news rush. Grand Theft Auto missions that start on one island and end on another, and you die, and have to start over, continue to be unfun. Just an FYI. Movie: What do you say we get together and bust some skulls?

I've compiled a list of changes for Brainworks using the input from this thread: http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=7604141
The issues that need to get fixed before the public beta are:
A) Plasma accuracy is too good
B) Machinegun accuracy is too good
C) Railgun accuracy isn't good enough
D) There is a rare divide-by-zero bug
A, B, and C are pretty easy to fix. D could take 1 minute or 1 week. I'm hoping for the former. Are there any other changes people would like? If so, tell me now.
I'm posting an explanation of what causes each bug and how they will get fixed in a reply. Those of you who are interested in how the aim system works might want to read it.

I need some help located a good LCD. Here are the requirements:
1) No more than $350.
2) Would *really* like a 17inch if possible.
3) Needs to produce 2D images well, but will not be used for any gaming of any kind.
4) Decent brand name with decent warantee.
5) Smaller footprint since it will be located in a dorm room (for my little sister).
6) Easy to setup (ie. no extra stuff like the Apple monitors).
Thanks for any help!!

There are games that most people who played them will agree were really good, like fallout, deus ex, total annihilation. A lot of them aren't even that popular, where can I find out about them?

I work in a technical support call center... I'm one of computer admins or whatever you want to call me (we go by the lovely name "Information Center"). Anyway, the rules are pretty relaxed here... we allow employees to surf the Web, read books, or do just whatever. And most of the leads/managers are really cool about it.
We're really dead today and there's 70 people sitting around waiting for calls to come in. But they don't really complain because throughout the week it's really busy. So the weekends are a nice break. Well, the one manager that usually works weekends called in sick today... so a lead (mini-manager, heh) is in charge. This guy's a real bastard. He won't even let the employees on his team surf the Web or read a book. He has this huge power trip going on... a real cock-monger!
So he comes up to me and the other admin and wants us to pull 70 people for training. Well, we don't do training on weekends because the trainers aren't here. He says he's going to do it himself. He probably can't even answer half the questions. Oh yeah, and the training is on the most basic subject that every tech learns on his first day (our call tracking software, HEAT).
Other managers don't like this guy. My boss talks trash about him all the time and how he shouldn't be doing this kind of stuff. He's abusing his power. And he was completely rude when he asked us to pull people out for training. That's he's going to "teach". That's funny... when he's gone... who's going to do his job? Who's going to play manager? He should be doing his job.
No matter what happens... the techs are going to be bored. They'll especially hate training they've been to multiple times. And I guarantee he will try to keep them in training for over an hour... when this training should take about 15-20 minutes.
So what should I do? Revenge? Goatse? Call up a manager at home and complain?
HELP!

Aim is for quality and size is no matter. FYI, 256 = 320 to my ears, so I don't really need THAT high sampling.
