Hey guys,

I've just installed XP (twas rather painless. didn't detect my modem though :|), and am about to download the service packs/security updates.
I was just wondering if it's ok to use the internet with only the internet firewall active, or should I download a 3rd party firewall instead? I've got it allowing only http, ftp and the email ports. Will I need to manually add ports into the firewall for each game I want to play? that sounds needlessly complicated. :|

Overclock your Sega Genesis!!

Saw this on a screensavers rerun last night.

Remember the massive slowdown you saw in Sonic the hedgehog whenever you got hit and lost your rings? Well you can say bye to all that. The CPU of the Genesis can actually run at 7.6mhz or 13.4. What determines the speed it runs at is the game. The CPU defaults to 7.6 mhz, but if it detects a signal from a certain pin on the cartridge slot, it runs at 13.4. So by simply cutting the trace that the CPU gets its clock setting from and soldering from the cartridge slot to the CPU, you can have your Genesis run at 13.4mhz. The amazing part is that this doesn't increase the speed of the game, it just increases how fast the main CPU processes so it eliminates slowdown! Here's a full guide from the guy that discovered the hack

well I'm pretty bored of WoW already. I've been playing in 2-3 hour blocks, with about 8 hours total.

yeah, the enviroments are pretty cool, everything seems really polished and it can be a lot of fun. but it's really just another mmorpg. there's nothing revolutionary.

all the quests are either kill X amount of this type of monster, or bring me back X amount of this type of item, and you will get XP, an item, or money.

the grouping and combat are the same as all its predecessors. nothing new or exciting.

i know nothing new or revolutionary was promised, but I was sort of expecting some new things from blizzards attempt at an mmorpg, when in reality, any company in the world could have produced this game. people are flocking to it merely because blizzard is a well known company that puts out solid games. (and brand recogntion)

if you havent tried an mmorpg before, this game may very well be highly appealing to you. if you've tried mmorpgs before and quit after realizing how montonous the gameplay is, this game may keep you occupied for a month or so.

how's everyone else feeling after their first couple days?

You know why Tribes: Vengeance kicks ass?

It makes me sweat, literally. Only other games that have made me do that were Rocket Arena 3, and the original, very first Rainbow Six Multiplayer. I love this game.

I posted this before but for some reason my brain short circuited and I didn't post the actual problem. If anyone could help me with this I'd be a very happy man.

Lightwave and Doom III question:

I just got lightwave and I decided to make a very simple object to see if I could import it into doom III. I managed to create an object and I put it into the correct doom directory. However, when I try to use the object in the doom editor it crashes. It shows up in the model directory but not in the preview window. Here is the error that the editor gives me:

brush_rebuildbrush: backwards
GetLastError() = 0 - 0

It's saved as a .lwo file like all the other models. Any thoughts?

ESPN broadband looks pretty cool. It has all the world cup hockey matches scheduled for hot streaming action (http://broadband.espn.go.com/multisport) and it's free until Monday.

Only problem is it doesn't work with Firefox, and the Russia-Canada match doesn't seem to work :( Does it work for anybody ?

Help Computah

So i built my computer without a floppy two months ago. I bought a Mitsumi drive off newegg and just threw it in. I can't get it to work. WIndows sees the drive, but every disk i put in it, it says isn't formatted, so if i tell it to format it it, it says it's write protected. I've tried two different cables, tried switching the ends plugged in as well. It's definately not a windows problem because floppy disks i know work, dont work when trying to boot on this computer. My past two computers i've built has had struggle with tempermental floppy drives. Am i forgetting a setting in the bios that needs enabled or something? DO i put off an anti-floppy odor?

I need to update my bios damnit!
