As I've taken to wearing a hat recently--it keeps the hair out of my eyes!--I am far more excited than I should be about the cosmetic-for-now Team Fortress 2 headgear.

Also interested to see how the decoupling of achievements and unlockable items works out. While I ceratinly love Team Fortress 2, I'm more of an "every now and then" casual player, so I haven't really had the time or ambition to earn any of those new weapons.

    You use JFDuke or eDuke?

    You need dosbox or eduke32. Dos games can't run in Vista x64.

      http://www.eduke32.com/ should be all you need, it is built on top of the Jonathan Fowler JFDuke port thingy and JFDuke works well. Some don't like the graphical enhancements and some do; it will probably help if you have a monitor larger than 17", normal Duke in a DOSbox looks way too blocky on anything bigger
      
      Please check back in :)

        You can actually make it look exactly like the dos duke, just use 8bit instead of polymost. If you do want smoothing though 32-bit polymost looks pretty damn good.

  Here's where I start a crapstorm. I loved Wolfenstein, DOOM and Blake Stone. I never liked ROTT.

  Can you keep redownloading stuff like steam or is it one time only?

    No DRM on the actual files. Your account gives you access to the games for as long as GOG exists, extras and all.

      Fuck I can't word this properly without making it sound like DRM. You can redownload the games forever, it keeps track of your purchases.
      
      However what you download is essentially like owning the disc, you can do whatever you wish and install on ifinite machines.

    Technically, an apogee is the point in your orbit around the Earth where you are farthest from the surface.
