I need a CD crack for UT v420 becuse im geting sick of puting the cd in every time I want to play UT.

Oh, and I want MORE MDK2!@!$#%&

Being 15, having no job or a car and wanting this badass game this bad is just insane. SoF sucked too much to satisfy my craving for a good, slightly different, fun, and replayable single player game, and it looks like MDK2 has that. I can imagine playing Dr. Hawkins 4 or 5 times through just to see all the weapon combos. Max f*cking rules and Kurt is your basic dude with the l33t parachute.

I think I'm gonna play the demo for the 4th time over. That intro was pretty damn cool as well.

CHRIST IN A SIDE-CAR that is a huge article

i didnt even get through it and I got to page 26!!!

An ear canal is not big enough of a recepticle to accept an erect penis. Attempting to fuck an ear could result in great pain to the fucked.

Regarding MI:2 I don't know who to believe hehe. It's like either you think it's the total b0mb or it sucks ass. My brother saw it and said it was a horrible mess, horrible plot, but the action was okay, but than someone else tells me that the plot was dead on and stuff.

hehe who knows.

You guys should check out the movie preview of Lord of the Rings at
www.lordoftherings.net
Its a cool preview (in Quicktime format). This series is gonna kick ass - Peter Jackson is the f'n man!

Steve mentions Lord of the Rings and you guys don't even jump on that??

I see one small mention of it in all the replies.

And you people call yourself geeks.

**sigh**

I sent this in as a news item, but here's a bit more on the whole DK/Romero thing.

http://www.gamespot.com/features/btg-daikatana/index.html

Hey, playing Daikatana in the Greece thing - dudes, the more you use the daikatana the more powerful it gets.

The first episode sucked, ended up rocket jumping onto that last platform (thanks for the hint...) and finishing the level. The Greece level is much better, no crashes. And like I said, the more you use the sword...

The game is more appealing now. The demo DOES NOT speak for the game. Although those tiny spiders suck ass, they're much better than killer frogs. It still hasn't made me it's bitch though.

I think co-op play will be the really big thing now that the internet is common place. Anything that smacks of deathmatch, like CTF, CS, TFC, etc. turn a lot of people/parents off. But playing together against the game is a blast.

I REALLY, REALLY hope that Duke4 has Co-op play in it. I'm VERY much looking forward to neverwinter, which is essentially a really advanced form of co-op play, with one player acting as the GM.

It would be especially cool for games to ship with special co-op levels in it that are designed around a team of people accomplishing the goals. Can you imagine if Halo did something like that, with their SP game?

Wow... a positive thread about Daikatana... on the SHACK????
My problem with DK was that first episode. I really can't imagine playing through too many BSPs of that CRAP!! However the later episodes in the demo showed some potential.

Questions:

Does the first episode get substantially better than the first level in the demo? I really don't know if I can stomach a whole episode like that.

Hows the level design? Does it get better? Are all the textures in the first episode as piss poor as they were in that first level?

How good is the AI? Granted, if Raven can't match HL AI with SoF than I can't imagine a dev cycle as screwed DKs could either, but is it up to snuff for a FPS?

I really don't care to hear about the sidekicks, I've heard enough about them, and from the demo it seems I can handle them sufficiently.


Thanks!

DEAR LORD!! DO NOT BUY DIKE-A-TANA AND GO TO THE DARKSIDE!!!

have you guys seen the boxoffice? 92 millions bucks for M:I-2...i saw it twice and man, this is a great movie...btw, the second time i saw it, i was paying attention to small details and script, and its not that bad after all, everything is logical and in places where it should be, imo...

Wow I'm impressed, people giving positive reviews of The Daikatana and so far no sign of a flame-war!
Personally I only played the demo, and despite some problems crashing I thought it was ok...not good enough to make me buy it, but it had its moments.

The thing I found funny as hell is what's written on the Daikatana box:
"Game of 1999, PC Accelerator"

Not only did it not come out in 1999, but I sure would like to know which issue they got this quote from :)
And the sad thing is, PCXL went belly up, so there's no rebuttal...

I hate jumping puzzles, they were the worst part of Half-Life for me.

In and around playing Quake 3, playing with my new digital camera, etc., I finished the first episode of Daikatana yesterday.

Not only was it fun... it was a LOT of fun. I love the doom-style secrets, and the fast paced play. The sidekicks were NOT a pain in the butt for me. There were only a couple of times when they had trouble following me, but for the most part, they worked like strategy game combat units with really good path-finding. There were a number of times when I used them to cover my ass in case progressing further released nasties behind me and that tactic worked really well. Also, people who rag on the puzzles are on crack. A few of the ones that stood out for me were pretty much the same type of puzzles as were found in the first part of the underground complex in half-life. But, I guess they must suck if they are in Daikatana, eh? One of the most hillarious that I encounted was only hard if you ignore all the tricks that you learned playing DM. Rocket jumping is a wonderful thing.

The greek levels look fantastic. Perhaps it's a matter of what video card you are using or something, but I can't really see the tiling that all the reviewers are bitching about in their screenshots. I'm playing at 1024x768 with all visuals at max on a PII-400/256MB/TNT2Ultra machine and have not experienced any slowdowns.

Steve,

You going to use only officially released drivers in this test? If not, then perhaps you should reconsider using the leaked 5.22 beta drivers, which actually result in a hit in performance....

Perhaps, since I've heard that NVIDIA is close to another beta version, the better approach would be to just use the fastest drivers for each card, since that is what folks tend to do anyway, regardless of beta status or official release.

I am werd!

Waiiiiit a minute, you cant wait to get Daikatana?

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH STEVE GIBSON?
