by Steve Gibson, Aug 15, 2004 3:39pm PDTOopsie! Little goofup on my part thinking that today was covered by Maarten and I would be picking this up tomorrow morning. Well it's Sunday anyways... Will poke around a bit for you guys but assuming nothing major went down today we'll just call it a draw and start fresh tomorrow. Thanks again to all the Shackers who were so kind with helping out my mom and I to pass out goodies to all the boys and girls at QuakeCon. It is so very much appreciated by myself as well as everyone who got free stuff I'm sure!

I don't know about you guys, but i am seriously worries about the way the source engine is going to look in 2004. I know gameplay > graphics, but those graphics can actually add (doom 3) or distract (CS:S?) from the gameplay.

Now, I seem to remember their house being weird and spooky, I'll have to ask my parents for details about this. I think they had historical stuff all over their house - medieval-style. Now, here's the meat of my story - whenever Matt had to take a piss, his parents would whip out an iron goblet and he'd pee into it. Then they'd empty the goblet into the toilet. He also gave me a faint scar over my left eye when he nailed me with a belt (he was a few years older than me), it starts on my eyebrow and continues over my cheek, and would have blinded me if he was an inch closer.
What makes memories like this surface? I hadn't though about it in years.

The woman and I watch a lot of (HBO) shows on the TV which I output from the computar machiene via s-video. I have to change resolution to make it fit properly on the TV. I'm tired of manually adjusting my desktop icons afterwards. There's plenty of icon restoration utilities out there but I want one that automatically restores my icons when I switch to a particular resolution that it remembers.
Surely such a thing exists. Help, shack. Google has failed me.

If you've played through it:
(1) Which way did you go? There are 2 different paths once you reach the controls for the bridge. You can extend the bridge and cross through the rest of the level that way. It's darker, you've got more enemies to kill, etc. OR you can climb down the ladder and do the rest of the level platformer-style. Not as many enemies, but you've gotta go Mario-style.
(2) How did you beat the end Boss, the Spiderqueen 'Vagary'
I just got to this point last night, and of course I lost ;( I've been playing the game without saving at all, and this level was turning out to be one of the easiest since the beginning. And then the cutscene played for 'Vagary', and I switched to the Plasma Rifle, and she still owned me bigtime.
What was your strat. to defeat that?

I read in other posts people hard a hard time fighting Sarge, but I don't recall ever fighting this guy. I did see Jack Campbell dead or dying in a very late level.
Maybe it's because I was a good boy and sent my transmission like my Master Sargent told me too.

I liked it. Of course i'm a big fan of all things aliens and predator. The Queen Alien was amazing in this movie, big part thanks to the use of a computah. I'd wished for more aliens in it. The predators seemed weak, oddly enough. But there were alot of kick ass action scenes with the predators. I didn't seem the point of the humans in the movie. They just sat around getting beat down, by very well done facehuggers. I enjoyed it, nice seeing what todays CGI can do for the franchises, and what Paul Anderson shouldn't be doing.
Pros:
Great CGI
Predators vs. Alien Scenes
Predator vs. Queen
Cons:
Human actors
PG-13 rating
Lack of gore
etc...hehe

My current keyboard just won't even allow me to sprint, strafe and change weapons, it just ignores the third keypress. This is totally unacceptable. Especially for Doom3 where you are sprinting 80% of the time.

still got to fry up a pre-load for it, just having weird issues with the xml load stealing the focus before the preload can get the bytes - BUT IT'S FINISHED. All of my retarded math posts I made the last week were for help with this - cheers to the peeps who helped :D

I've got a Chaintech GeForce4 MX440 PCI for 3rd monitor duty that's not doing hardware overlay correctly. Just installed the card, I've got the latest Forcewave drivers installed but I wonder if something from the Microsoft driver that installed when I first booted the machine with the card is holding things up (card didn't do hardware overlay with that driver either).

Stone Throwing
By Michael Loeffel
Long has the battle rampaged between the believers of fate and free-will. The ultimate project however is what life is all about, in the end.
Only a fool will believe that change may come about through hopes alone. And on the same token, only a monster will believe the world turns for it alone.
Nay, it is only through a truly free, indomitable spirit that dreams may be granted. For all this life is, is but a dream in which worlds collide.
Every man is a singularity, but all together, we are heavy. So ... stop and listen to the fuckin' music already.
A men.

My current keyboard just won't even allow me to sprint, strafe, move back and change weapons, it just ignores the fourth keypress (changing weapons) So I am often left with an empty clip when I need a totally differnt gun, and standing still for a second to change weapons is really lame. This is totally unacceptable. Especially for Doom3 where you are sprinting 80% of the time.
