First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Nov 08, 2005 6:41am PSTSo the other day I had my first experience with "DVD rot". I hadn't watched the first Terminator in a while, so I put it and after a few seconds my DVD player said it couldn't read the disc. I took out the disc, looked at the bottom and yikes..it was all kinds of messed up. Like there was some kind of strange condensation between the layers of the DVD, and the surface just felt wrong. Did a Google search, and that revealed that this is indeed a problem with MGM's special edition release of Terminator 1 from a few years ago. Hopefully it's just going to be this one movie.

- Western Quake 3 beta 2.1 - after a few years, a new release of this mod.

- DFI LANParty UT NF4 ULTRA-D Motherboard
- AMD Athlon 64 3700+ Processor S939, San Diego
(it's OC'ing potential and already decent clock speeds intrigue me)
- Sapphire Radeon X800 GTO2 256MB
(apparently uses the R480 core and has a 100% success rate of achieving X 850 XT speeds when the bios is flashed)
My current rig contains an oc'd 2500+/R9800pro and a gig of good OCZ PC3200 that I will re-use. I also have a 550w OCZ Modstream PSU so I don't believe power consumption will be a concern.

How do I get my project to build with debugging information so I can debug? Right now when I select Start Debugging I get a "Debugging information for Project could not be found or does not match. Binary was not built with debug information." All I did was new->project 'empty project' then added a bunch of existing .h and .c files in the header and source sections.
Also, how do I set the input parameters (feed in a file for input)? Project properties->Debugging->Command Arguements and then set the files path?

TL;DR: Matrox invent a little box that turns one VGA output into two VGA outputs so you can drive multiple displays from one output.

What's the flipping difference, I can't see anything, one is 1 cent cheaper?
And on a very similar note.

If you chose
Manu: Corsair XMS
Capacity: 2gb (2x1gb)
Type: 184 Pin DDR SDRAM
You should get 9 matches with cas latency varying from "CL2" "2" and 3"
If you chose the same things but also chose Cas Latency 2 from the search function then you only get ONE DIMM returned??? - is there a problem with their search mechanism?

1.) Halo (co-op)
I'll be the first one to tell you, I was not excited in the least about the xbox. I didn't buy one for launch, and I didn't give two cents about Halo. That all changed the night my friend begged me to come over and try co-op with him. We played through the entire campaign co-op in one setting, ending around 3:30 in the morning. To this day it remains the most memorable gameplaying experience I have ever had, and the most fun I've had with a FPS since counter strike.
2.) Ninja Gaiden
Who doesn't love a good ninja? I must say I was initially off put by ninja gaiden, as it came extremly late and I was convinced tecmo could deliver. How wrong I was! This game is undoubtly the single most challenging action game that isn't a fps I have ever played. It slaps you in the face and DARES you to step up to the challenge and hit it back! I was captivated by this game from start to finish, and with the addition of the hurricane packs, the good times keep on rollling.
3.) GTA3
The first time I loaded up gta3, my mind became blown as to what a 3d game could really be. I remember standing underneath one of the train tracks in the middle of an intersection. cars were whizzing by me, people were going about their business, some were getting mugged/chasing people down the street, and I was just a passive observer...it was beautiful and really one of defining moments of gaming for me.
On that note, a game that is just as cool to me is mercenaries, because as dognose once wisely pronounced. I like to blow shit up.

I took dodob's advice about file ownership and disabled file sharing, but if I'm to actually change the owner of said files through Windows I don't know how to do it. Anyone know how to force files to go away?

You are the bane of my existence.
Like when you decide to suddenly cut the audio out altogether in the middle of an imported video file and pick it up from the beginning a few second later. Thanks, you spiteful bitch.
Love always,

I want to know what started this cancer that is on the gaming community today. And, object all you want, but come on. Expansion packs never live up to the quality of the original. They've made sequels and new games almost pointless; money-minded publishers like EA don't even have to worry about gambling on new talent or a new title when they can just pump out something that has paid them back in the past. I don't even have to name the title that is the poster child for expansions ad nauseum. the Sims
I yearn for the days when sequels meant something :(

My girlfriend swears she saw an ad that was advertising Guitar Heros for 49.99 with guitar. Of course she didn't remember which ad it was in. Has anybody seen a deal on this cheaper than 69.99 in the Best Buy ad? She could have been wrong though she is dyslexic so maybe she saw it wrong.
