Wassup!?
by Sander Pilon, May 18, 2005 9:51am PDTI admit it, I'm FPS-tired. Quake 4, Doom 7, Pariah, Call of Duty 3, Brothers in Arms 2, Saving Private Ryan, Prey, whatever. STALKER? Meh. Too late. DNF? I've forgotten what it was about. Something with strippers I think. I've gotten to the point where only two FPS games remotely interest me - the recently announced Alan Wake because the setting of the supposed story looks like it could be genuinely different from the bulk of the WW2 or Doom-style shooters (New screenshots on the www.alanwake.com!) and Elder Scrolls IV, because it looks to be one of the few decent FPS-RPG titles in development. Too much bloom though! You know what I want? Sim City 5. PS. Be sure to check out the shacknews E3 moblog, where the three stooges post shocking news about spit and sushi!
Is the game a timesink? It looks fun, but I wouldn't want anything that was a big time-sink just to be any good.
In order to stem the inevitable tide of Ep3 posts, please keep all Ep3 discussion and spoilers in this thread. We'll probably have one active Ep3 thread in latestchatty.x for the next few days until the immediate excitement dies down.
Please take note:
-Don't abuse the spoiler tag, i.e. posting stupid non-spoilers under the spoiler tag.
-Game related Star Wars posts and general non-Ep3-centric Star Wars posts do NOT need to go under this thread.
-Any new seperate threads started that should go here will be nuked. The user will receive a comforting pat on the bottom, and a shackmessage pointing him/her to this thread.
-"Star Wars" kinda sounds funny if you say it enough times in a row

This game requires more shackhype.
I can't drag the woman or the kid away from this game to get some time with it myself. Watching them play it is a riot. Looking forward to playing it after they are done.
OMG it's not a hardcore game!
Reminds me alot of Voodoo Vince, and of course the other games the owner of the dev house has made. Tim (whatshisname?), from Full throttle and Grim.

Of those, Final Fight, Bionic Commando, Legendary Wings, Section Z, Forgotten Worlds, and Trojan are new games to the collection and it'll be nice to see arcade perfect (hopefully) ports of them. Those Street Fighter 2 ports from Capcom Generation Vol 5 weren't perfect, but they're good enough for me. The Ghosts n Goblins games are actually better than the originals, if they're using the Capcom Generation Vol 2 versions... Super Ghouls n Ghosts doesn't have any slowdown :D
Hopefully it does well enough for a second volume to come out with Magic Sword on it :(

Anyways, I have a little something for all of you. A 3 minute Ghost Recon 3 video. It shows some sniper action + an ingame tank segment. The quality is... well, it's not good, but it's good enough I suppose.
Get it while it's up.

Anyone ever transferred data from an SQL Server 2000 database to a MySQL database? Schema included? I've Google'd and couldn't find what I was looking for and have been browsing through the options in Enterprise Manager to no avail. I would prefer it to be in a manner not requiring Enterprise Manager at all. I haven't found something to my liking yet. I could just be stupid though.

I can't boot off of the Windows XP CD (it gets to the blue Windows Setup screen and hangs), and I'd really like to format this fucking drive and start over.... but like...i can't or something.
If I made a bootable win98 cd from BootDisk.com , could i use that to delete the contents of the partition or would it be unable to read ntfs? Should I grab a Linux distro to whack this partition?
Need help.
