by Maarten Goldstein, Nov 16, 2006 5:30am PSTPretty incredible that the PS3 seemingly isn't scaling 720p to 1080i, screwing over so many (CRT) HDTV owners. Nobody thought of this? Nobody cared? Also on FileShack

- Story? I had no clue really where we were going, what I was supposed to be doing or why I was even fighting.
- Gameplay? I played on Hardcore and the gameplay is essentially just Cover, Wait, Shoot, Move. Sometimes theres a turret, when there is, use it. And only 1 vehicle sequence that wasnt even very in depth. It was more fun co-op for sure but there just wasnt enough variety.. or any.
- Graphics? Ok it looked good but there just wasn't enough to show it off. I counted around 4 enemies total that you fight through 90% of the game and lots of indoor cramped spaces with convenient cover placed everywhere. The firefights were sometimes satisfying but most lacked...
- Weapons? Grenades - suck. Rocket launcher - suck. The stock rifle is really the best weapon, theres really no reason to change. This game needed way more weapons. The Epic weapon curse continues into this game.
- Bosses? Big disappointment.
I hope now that they got the assets nailed down and the engine, they can focus more on story and gameplay in the inevitable sequel. I know, I suck for being a dissenting shackhype opinion. Sue me.

I can't figure out how to get rid of these weird graphical artifacts short of running it on a software renderer, which I would prefer not to do.

I patched the game before I started playing it and I have to say I had absolutely no problems. Got latest drivers for my graphics card and the game never crashed. All the saves work fine, all the graphics are fine. Now I've got a damn shit computer by today's standards: Athlon XP 2600+, 1 gig of ram and GeForce 6600 GT and the game run good on medium settings. I guess this will give a bit of hope to those that haven't upgraded in a while. If you're happy playing on medium quality, and it looks good on those settings if you ask me, then go for it.
The only grudge I have is with the regard to controls, movement and camera movement. They're very similar if not the same as NWN1 (which I loved) but I've been spoiled by WoW and nothing comes even close to their movement mechanism. I'll play around with it to get it working as close to WoW as possible. So far I'm happy with the game and I have to say I got worked up a bit with all the complaints from people on the forums but the game works absolutely fine for me and is fun this early in the game.

My wife just called me at work, there was a letter in our mailbox from Comcast. They would have to extend the current lines 1.16 miles to reach our location.
Cost?
$23,000.
1.16 miles.
They said they will begin work as soon as we submit a check. O_o

Jesus... I'm dying in here. I have a steam pipe running through my closet, and they've got all the heaters on winter mode in the dorms. And there was a fucking snowstorm here for Thanksgiving 2005...

Thats 14 launch titles:
- 8 of which are on the 360 or Wii
- 4 of the 6 PS3 exclusives have gotten terrible reviews (Gundam, Genji, NBA07 and Untold Legends)
- 2 are good to great games (Resistance, Ridge Racer 7)
Of course those 8 games that are on the Wii and 360 are still good games. As a gamer who intends to get all consoles, I have a 360 with 16 games and my Wii pre-order with Zelda and Rayman, this gives no incentive for us to get a PS3 right now.

I downloaded Tofu's new firmware, Tomato (which Toraz mentioned in September, but I pissed that post), and its pretty cool.
From what I've read, its a rewrite of Linksys's firmware instead of a modified HyperWRT, which is an older rewrite of Linksys's firmware.
Visually its quite different, but the one thing I noticed immediately is that its very fast. Routing feels a lot snappier than DD-WRT and even Thibor's.
The QoS was completely rewritten, and Im hoping for improvements over what other firmwares offer, which ranges from bad to ok.
Check it out at http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato

Lucky bastard. But it makes me wonder... what kind of components are in a $7500 Falcon Northwest rig? Would it be something like an Apple 30 inch cinema display, quad-SLI or what?

Anyone else using Windows Live Mail Beta desktop?
It has fucking adware installation search bullshit, in the desktop ap. A giant ribbon pane on the right is filled up by adsense searching, and if you minimize it, it doesn't go away, it replaces it with a giant fucking ad. WTF? I don't see an option anywhere to turn it off. That's a deal breaker right there - anyone know how to turn it off?
The other is that it refuses to go to the top of the screen. If I drag it or stretch it to the top, it stops about 1cm from the top and won't move. Yes, I really want you dictating my window positions.
Back to outlook for me, has some nice features, but unless that first major issue and that second annoying quirk are fixed, no way I'm using it as my mail client
Incredible.

I woke up, three or four hours before I wanted to. Couldn't get back to sleep. I've been stressing over a couple things, I've been kicking myself in the ass over a couple things, there's just been a lot of frustration the past week. I've been worried about college, about my family, whether I'm doing the right thing, etc. So I do what I normally do in times of great stress. I start spankin' it. And it was during this time, I had a moment of clarity. Everything laid itself out, everything fixed itself in my head and turned right-side up. Now, I'm feeling good again, and back on target.
Just thought I'd share.
