Evening Reading
by Alice O'Connor, Mar 24, 2009 6:00pm PDTWith Nick busy at GDC and Faylor losing a cold war with his cats, it apparently falls to me to post this evening's chatty. Coincidentally we've had a string of England-related stories today, allowing me to write words I never actually say, guvna. GDC should really kick off tommorow but for now, ladies and gentlemen, your news:
- Spoiler: Nazis to be defeated in Wolfenstein, new trailer reveals.
- Fallout 3 'The Pitt' DLC released then promptly pulled from XBLA due to bugs.
- DRM rendered obsolete by the magic of Steam.
- Games For Windows Live to have anti-piracy and in-game marketplace.
- Star Trek D.A.C. a great game if you like "getting online [and] kicking ass."
- "Don't pig: Peggle!", licensed doctors yet to recommend.
- Stalin vs. Martians trailer bids you hail Stalinator. Who knows? Bizarre.

Only chefs I can stand to watch on TV are Jamie Oliver and Rick Stein.
I know there are huge fans of Alton Brown here, and I respect different tastes... I just don't dig the holograms or weird gadget factoid moments.

Suddenly I can't play any of my older games on Vista. Games that have worked on Vista.
Bioshock
Oblivion
Trackmania Nations Forever
Brothers in Arms 2
None of these work. I reinstalled Bioshock and Oblivion several times but no change.
All these games freeze at startup with no error prompts.
L4D works. Stalker Clear sky works but is loading so much that it's unplayable.
All these games used to work with no problems dammit.
I guess I need to reinstall vista to get some driver/program out thats causing this.
Anyone else have this problem?

Why does my Microsoft Mouse at the office here work with middle-button scrolling (configured in mouse properties as "Middle click") and my Logitech G9 at home not? It is also configured for what I believe is "middle button" (I'm at the office and can't verify the home one). In Chrome at Home (lol), middle clicking tabs closes them, so it's got at least *some* functionality.

Since my kind WE recipient refuses to post about the bunch of crap I sent him for his WE, I will just have to post this one thing I made for him.
I made him a terrible WE song, called White Elephant of course. It features fucking awful vocals and a particularly shit, wanky guitar solo in the wrong key, all of which adds to the fun (of course).

I would really love to take this idea further (an official WE song? haha), get someone that can really sing do something over it and lose most of the guitar wank. I'm gonna repost this sometime in a larger post, and I can provide any bare tracks to anyone that wants to take a shot.

I'm looking at getting my first bike to get out and about on the weekends. Will mostly be off road with nothing too extreme involved. Problem is I have no idea what to look for in a bike, brand or otherwise. A friend pointed me at some ebay auctions within my price range so going from those I have found the following

Is this a good first bike for me? If not, what should I be looking out for? Halp!
