Well the pre-E3 fun is already starting to wind up it seems. Although it looks like we wont see much out of Nintendo I think we can count on all the other companies blowing their loads all over us. But in a respectful way!

    Another upgrade question for hardware men:

    Doing upgrades for my bro:

    1) CPU will go from 2.53GHz 533 fsb to 3 GHz 800 fsb, both Northwoods.

    2) Mobo supports the newer CPU and 800 fsb, and supports both PC2700 and PC3200.

    3) He has 1 Gig of PC2700 DDR-333 (512mb x 2), and would like to delay upgrading the memory for a while.

    Question: Will the 3Ghz Northwood 800fsb work with PC2700 DDR-333? Does it require DDR-400 for the 800 fsb? If so, can I configure the new CPU to run at the lower 533 fsb?

    Thanks in advance for any help...

    I really need to do some big picposts on E5: New Jagged Union and Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault... both of those games deserve a ton of love.

    I'd also like to do a critical post on what all dissapointed me about Brothers in Arms, which is going to go down as the very first first-person shooter I've ever been so let down by that I couldn't even bring myself to finish it and actually sold it. note: I never, ever sell my games. This has been a first. I disliked it that intensely. =(

    Ah, if only there were time. Le sigh. =(

    For now, though.. the cliff notes of such posts:
    E5: New Jagged Union: Un-fucking-believably awesome. This game is going to blow away anyone who's fond of Jagged Alliance 2 or Silent Storm or any similarly themed games.
    Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault: Great game, better singleplayer than either CoD or BiA, at least for me (as it leans more to the side of Vietcong/OFP/etc, which of course appeals to me).
    Brothers in Arms: What the fuck. =( I really wanted to love this game, too. Sigh. =(

    So.. yeah. If anyone's still reading, I'd be curious to know of any others who didn't like BiA, or loved MoH:PA, or even know what E5 is.

    Update on Cavadius' development:

    "Option bug has been found and will be dealt with.

    Also, due to some comments by others on another forum this was mirrored at, I will be implementing an additional gameplay option come next revision of the Trial Version (I plan to get the Trial Version as good as possible, so I'll have a good system to work on when I do the full game).

    The new feature? Something I'm sure a lot of manic people will be happy to see...Colored bullets. You'll be able to choose between Classic and Manic bullet colors in the Game Options in a future release. Currently, small Diamond Bullets are light blue, while Large Diamond Bullets are bright pink.

    Implementing a Rank System is an idea, but I'll have to figure out how I'm gonna do it. At worst, I suppose I could re-write my bullet patterns. However, the logic behind a ranking system isn't something I'm all too familiar with. Some help in this area would be appreciated.

    Also, while a Rank System may not be for awhile, a difficulty system will be availble later on to make the game easier for a first run. I plan to significantly cut the bullet counts in Easy Mode, I may do it somewhat for Normal as well, and perhaps reserve the current patterns for hard.

    Cavadius' current state is by no means final. These Trial releases are purely to get player input, so I can improve on the game and have the engine and system set up for a better final product.

    As for everyone's comments so far, thank you for your input and honesty, know your opinions do matter, and they will be taken into account as I work on Cavadius. :)
