Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Nov 16, 2004 6:13pm PSTWell I've only gotten to experience a couple of hours of HL2 so far but so far it is delivering. Good times. I did have a fair amount of frustration with my machine locking but it turns out my videocard was overheating... but only with HL2, and not CS:Source. Oh well, fixed!
- Trial reveals spammer tactics - Computers make you blind in more way than one. - Sex for rent is bad. - Mach10 is hot - Remember kids.. violence is totally cool, but sexuality is not!Lastly, as mentioned by Chris Morris of CNN, yes Shacknews was nominated for the Videogame Awards. It's like GameSpy/GameSpot/IGN/1up and us. If you vote for us, Maarten and I can meet Snoop!
It's based on the 1993 Bungie Studios game "Pathways into Darkness" and involves a special-ops squad, a sleeping elder god, and a forgotten nazi expedition team.
Before I make a final release, I was hoping Shackers could give it a spin and make some comments. And if anyone is willing to host a mirror, please shackmessage me! (I only have access to Fileplanet, which can be flakey)

It plays, it looks cool, but for what I spent (already) on this game, it should look FREAKING AWESOME RIGHT?!?
Best video card for my money? I'd like to keep it under $400 Cdn.
Best place to buy it in Canada, online?
Current card = GeForce4 Ti4200 128 MB (and system is 1.7Ghz AMD Athlon, 768 MB RAM)
Also side note: Monitor will only support 1024x768 so I won't be venturing into 1600x and 2048x territory
Thanks!

The Wonders of our justice system.
I'm sure most people in the United States have heard about
the discovery in 2002 of hundreds of bodies at a north Georgia crematory.
Well, the crematory operator has agreed to a plea deal that will give him no more than 12 years in prison. If he had been convicted on all counts he could have served 8,000 years in prison.

"We want people to think of the suffering of the fish," said Stephanie Bell, a Seattle resident and PETA's regional animal cruelty caseworker. Bell, 35, said up until 10 years ago, she, too, ate fish and meat. That was before she learned of the suffering of the animals to be consumed.
"It's something many people have not stopped to think about."
I really hope these fucking PETA people walk instead of driving everywhere and have nothing to do with ANY animal products whatsoever. else they'd be effing hypocrites.

I wonder if these are "public tracker .torrent related" people or just the retards who never turn off Kazaa? I'm guessing this is Supernova related stuff and I misspelled that on purpose.

I have the option of getting a new hard drive with Serial ATA for my system. I've done some initial research and found that they perform a tad bit better. However, at this point it's nothing that can really push me over the edge in justiying the extra cost.
Do SATA hard drives really perform all that better than regular IDE, better cabling aside?

It looks like there's tearing even when v-sync in turned on. I had this issue in CS:S Beta as well.
9800 Pro. The problem isn't continuous, but it pops up quite a bit.
Any ideas? It's kind of annoying and it's especially noticeable around fallen enemies.

Even at my most formidable gaming stage (16-22) I usually only did 8-hour sessions at a time, max (though I'd play 3 or 4 8-hour sessions in a row).
Now if I get three uninterrupted hours of a game I consider it a mini-spree. Six hours? Forget it!
It's a blessing and a curse. I wish I had more hours to devote, but I also enjoy playing a game for a couple of weeks rather than a couple of days.
So I'll probably finish Half-Life 2 next Friday, which is okay! I plowed through Halo 2 in six days, which I consider a damn marathon! 26 and married
