by Steve Gibson, Dec 22, 2004 5:57pm PSTOk I spoke too soon.. you know how I was saying it was like 70 degrees around here? Yeah well it snowed today. Texas is broken. I'll shut my hole now. :(

So, last night I found a nice shipping envelope (one of those fancy white fabric-y type envelopes) crammed into my tiny little mailbox (I live in an apartment complex, so the mailboxes are inversely proportional in size to the size of the building)! On it, it said "to timmie, from bagelcc"!
So I hop in the elevator, tap my foot impatiently as it slowly rises to the 12th floor (wife looking at me like I'm a freak the whole time, btw). It finally makes it, I run into the computer room, fending off my cat who, for some reason, decided that the package was his the instant he saw it in my hand, and tear it open...
Inside, I find some "Homies" figurines (http://www.homies.tv/, should look good on my work desk, methinks), some "Jasmine-scented Angel Snot" and a bacon scented air freshener! The wife found the air freshener to be hilarious. We then pondered where one would purchase stuff like this.
Anyway, thanks bagelcc!
I'd take pictures but the camera is packed for our trip to visit the family and the batteries are dead anyway :(

There were a couple of funny parts (the cow scene), but mostly it was just painful to watch.
It really should have been a 15 minute film.

So what's up with ganking people 10 levels below you? I seriously wouldn't do that unless someone that much lower attacked me first.

Trademark symptom: complaining about missing textures and models on de_prodigy.
My vote, just include a scan for these missing things at server join and remote delete the game off their machines. :)

Why do people complain about doom3 being "find the key" when hl2 is just like that? The only difference is hl2 makes you blow up a barrel to send a bar of steel through a door so now you can walk through the door. Infact all fps games are like "find the key."
God i don't want to start a hl2 vs doom3 war, but its inevitable because the only reason i'm so angry at hl2 is because after playing doom3 my standards have been raised quite a bit.

How does killing someone, then proffiting from it have ANYTHING to do with 1st ammendment rights? He still had every right to write the book and have it published -- he just could not make any money. Making money != freedom of speech, am I rite?
I always liked the son of sam law. So many yay-hoos in prison would proffit off of shit like this if it were not for that law.

my sister just bought an ipod for her boyfriend, got a usb2 thingie for this craptastic hp pavilion she has, but she has ME and so the ipod won't run.
should she:
a. get xplay2 -- this 30$ software that says it will make the ipod work with ME or
b. receive windows 2000 from me (which will require me acquiring 2000, then spending the 26th reinstalling her goddamned machine).
the machine's got 128 MB ram and is a pentium 3. like i said. craptastic.
please advise.

Also, what the fuck is aniscropic (sp?) filtering? It's got it set at 8x by default, but I don't know what it does, and whether I should shut it off to raise my FPS.

Yes I got annoyed with the repetition and HL2 sidetracked me - BUT I'm determined to finish.
BUT - my processor is overheating now. Its a Prescott so it always ran hot - but normally its around 41 at idle and high 50's under load - now Doom3 is pushing it into the high 60's!!
hell must be warming my computer up :(
Some shack advice would be great!

Im visiting my parents and they have an amazing home theater, but its not setup properly. They have the comcast HDTV box and an amazing onkyo receiver and 6.1 speaker system. DVDs sound AMAZING. The problem is w/ cable, even when there is 5.1 content like the music choice channels, its only registering on the receiver as Digital 2.0/0 so its two channel digital, instead of 3.0/2 (5.1). The SPDIF goes directly from the back of the cable box to the back of the receiver...any ideas what could cause this?
Thanks
