Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Mar 28, 2007 6:00pm PDTWell C&C3 showed up at my door today. Hopefully I'll get some time to play around this weekend with it. The demo didnt really feel like anything particularly new but I think I'm most looking forward to the live actors and their hokey lines. I want you guys to seriously consider these tonight:
- We're all a bunch of morons - Wacky hexagon - McCain digs lesbians - MS buying Doubleclick? - How is Vista really selling?Lastly, Dinosaurs died from too much coke/whores

Team Fortress 2 is getting closer and closer and closer. It won't be long until PC gaming comes back alive! But, while we continue to wait, why don't we play another Fortress game. No, not TFC. I'm talking Q3F.
If you never got into this mod, you missed quite the fun. They did some things with the Q3 engine that were just simply magic. Check out the guide -> http://www.q3f.com/docs/readme.html . Before BF1942 came out, I played the living fuck out of Q3F. For those of us that weren't completely wrapped up in CS fagdom, it was good times.
If I can get 15 interested people, I'll put up a server and we can give it a go this weekend. If I can't get 15 people, then I'll consider one of my best gaming memories long since dead.

It reminds me of back in the 90's, when SFII and MK ruled the fighting scene, then you had these copy cat games that sometimes stole more or less from both games but just didn't get what made those games great: the controls and balance of moves. Yeah, sure they had two guys fighting, they had the d, dl, l + button to execute a super move, some had finishes, others had blond haired karate guys reminiscent of Ken or maybe a Ryu copy of some fashion. But they just didn't copy the magic that made the original fighters great.
That's alot like Dungeon Runners. It's got the items, the leveling, the mage, warrior, and hunter, it's got vendors, a "!" over their heads (in yellow no less) and a "?" when you've completed the quest, it even has an opening screen with music that is very much like WoW's. It's like.. A WoW Light that is free to download and play without the AH and mainly the charm. The vendors talk back to you with phrases that are trying to be funny when you click on them, the buttons for menus and options are red like in wow (but don't glow when you hover), the GUI is very familiar, on and on, but it just doesn't have that "magic" that makes WoW what it is. The movement and controls are wonky, the camera isn't as graceful, the items sometimes have wacky names like the "One Handed Feather Duster Sword of Might".. Stuff like that that is blatantly obvious they played WoW and said, "Pshh.. We could make this kind of game.." but just didn't grasp exactly what made it so popular.
Now, I'm not bitching, the game is free, I'm just saying when and if you play it, see if you don't feel that as well. It's a poor man's WoW+Diablo using what feels like the GW engine, only much less pretty.

Simply put; this is the best keyboard I've ever owned. The keys feel like luxury. If I can describe a keypress it's like smashing a marshmellow. Nearly 0 noise, no click. Some people prefer a click in their keystrokes and fans of that would not like this keyboard.
Plus it's got a bling-bling blue backlight that shines through the faces on the keys, and between them. 3 settings (on, barely-on, and off). No media keys, but it does have volume control *shrug*
Five stars ***** would buy again

I have completely reversed my position. Fuck going to the high school reunion and go to Quakecon. I signed up for this facebook stuff today and it's like a god damned high school reunion and I realized that I want nothing to do with it. Everyone has interesting lives and do interesting, cool things and I couldn't imagine having to face that for a whole night. Plus Quakecon sounds like it's going to be a blast!

Thank you so much for releasing CNC3 on DVD, especially in the non-special edition version which I didn't buy. This is a step in the right direction.
Thanks.
