by Maarten Goldstein, Oct 05, 2004 8:59am PDTSo I've been trying to play Star Wars Battlefront on the Xbox but I'm having a hard time getting used to the camera. While on the PC first person- and third person modes are like any other shooter, the Xbox camera seems a lot closer and it's throwing me off. When I go to third person I have a huge storm trooper on my screen and in first person I hit a wall before it really seems I'm going to. Not sure what's going on there. I'm giving it another go tonight though. As you might've noticed the HardOCP headlines haven't been updating for a while, so I've removed them for the time being. They'll return once the [H] guys get around to fixing it, which might be a while as they're busy with other things over there.

re: http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=8690534
So I've slowly started reinstalling games and figuring out how to get approximately where I left off in them (since my saved games were nuked). I was able to get to where I left off in Doom 3 w/ about the same health/ammo using the console commands; however, it appears that by doing so the game difficulty has been reset to easy.
How do I change the difficulty level via the console? This one shotgun blast kill stuff it a little bit on the tame side...

I don't think anyone at my company has the smallest idea of how to manage a development shop.
They treat us like children who are assembling cars. They have no idea what it means to do creative design or write beautiful code.
I've got to get out of here. I mean now. Before my team lead leaves and I get stuck with the meetings and paperwork.

So I have finally switched to firefox, IE is totally fucking unusable due to spyware. Every once and a while I hear a shacker mention an extension.
1. What are extensions?
2. Is there a good tutorial about them online?
3. Is there a large compiled list of extensions and what they do?
There are certain things that bother me about firefox, like the fact that it never saves websites in the dropdown bar, and it fucks up on certain websites (most notably gamespot, I cant go to the front page because it has some wierd siezure loading shit going on.) Any help is appreciated.

I'd prefer a softmod since I guess this would be cheaper but if it limits functionallity then I could go for a modchip. BTW, I would like to have the option to play on Live so whatever I need to do to do that then please tell me.
Note: I'm a total Xbox modding noob.

And you know, my oppinion hasn't changed from then either. I still think that the fight scenes are cool, that it's pretty and that everything else is poop.
Heh, I remember when I came out of the cinema and the first reflections on it me and the dude I was seeing with had:
"How'd you like it?"
"Was alrite. You know that dude, the one with the ears, what's he called?"
"You mean Jar Jar?"
"Yeah him, he's an annoying cunt, I swear..."
Indeed, Geoffrey, indeed...

Boss Fight: against Sarge
Lasted a total of 5 seconds. Bit underwhelming. What can I say, every boss battle up to this point has been A W E S O M E. Especially the previous one against the Guardian... wow...
Some of you may not realize if you have been using the Quicksave feature, but that level is quite long, and to get all the way to the end of it, without saving, and THEN have to face the Guardian battle is quite a task.
So just now when I took out Sarge in 5 seconds: One Soulcube blast, plus maybe 3.5 seconds of Plasma rifle fire right to the face I was a little surprised.
I had read a bit about the level, that the ground tiles open up, and that Sarge blasts you with his newly acquired BFG.
I don't think he even got to shoot it.

The 9800 Pro I RMA'd to NewEgg is out of stock, and I can get something different, or have my CC credited with $200.
So now the big dilemma: do I go for the same thing, or start shopping for a better card, which I think my machine can handle -- 3200+, 1GB RAM, Abit NF7-S. Enough E-peniing.
What's the video card market right now? The best consumer card for Doom III / HL2? Or should I sit back and wait for HL2 benchmarks?
