BicycleOfDeath

I play CoD 2 at least once a week. The audio in the game is amazing as are many of the visuals. The only complaint I have about the game is the way a person generates health. It's only a half complaint though because I don't really dislike it. I'm more neutral. As for people saying it's too easy: Play on a harder difficulty setting. It is my firm belief that every game should be played on Normal or Hard(er). Otherwise you might as well just run through with God Mode on.

I have a Linux/Windows Dual Boot: I play NWN, DooM 3, and Quake 4 all in Linux. Not because I don't like Microsoft either. It's simply because of performance. Hell, I spend most of my time in Ubuntu. I quite enjoy how stable and secure it is. It'd be nice to beable to play more than half of a handful of high grade games without using a Windows emulator. If there was an OS specifically designed for gaming, I wouldn't own it. I do quite a few other things besides it and the only reason Windows currently does them well is because of the lack of alternative support from 3rd parties. I want to beable to play more games without getting a blue screen of death. I want to beable to browse the web without having to worry much about malicious software that gets installed without my concent. I'd like to beable to do that and many other things on one operating system.

OpenGL is only more superior in versatility as far as I understand. Otherwise wouldn't we have more OpenGL based games thus more cross platform games in the PC world?

DooM was pretty amazing for just being on the GBA.

Anyway, we wouldn't be getting a Linux/Mac port unless Atari gave the green light for it and Obsidian would take to make it. I was thinking about what I said about not getting a Linux port because it's DirectX but I've been playing around in some games and have noticed a Direct X / OpenGL option in a few of them. Going back, I recall Halflife giving a Direct3D / OpenGL. I'm taking a shot in the dark, but it'd be possible, but they'd have to do a lot more work than if it was just coded in Open GL. I also find it kind of ... suspicious (I guess) that nothing is being said about it anywhere. Only "If you have something to say about a Linux/Mac client post on the Atari boards." At BioWare your posts are now automaticly deleted - They don't even have a discussion on it. It also makes me think that "they" (being everyone involved) are (or being told to) putting a lid on it and just waiting for it to simmer down and completely die off without flat out saying "No, no Linux." It's just a bit boggling about the Linux server, too. I thought it was the status quo to have a Linux Server w/ all games... // Meh, just blabbing really. Those are my thoughts on it at the moment and are subject to change by being fed correct knowledge. EDIT: I'd just like to thank the Obsidian Staff and Moderator Team for allowing this thread to live. It's nice to actually discuss it.

Dead Alive (aka Braindead), and... Cemetary Man.

I know of the mods, just not a big fan of modding games. It takes the original challenge away from it. It's kind of like cheating - but more accepted.

After finding out that my hardware problems were harddrive failure related... I am now installing Day of Defeat: Source on XP.

I really need to upgrade my system to play the game at it's fullest. It's one of the reasons why I'm being extra sneaky. I'd love to just beat people with a hammer.

1998 Audi S4 Quattro. Black, Manual Transmission.

Want to play sometime?

I like playing Eeeevil drow. Muah ha ha ha ha ha. I actually played through it with the "War of the Spider Queen" party. It was quite fun.

Well, to get specialist: I didn't kill anyone that was unecessary. When I made my hits it was a shot to the head. Simple enough.

Is "Specialist" a decent tag to earn?

When creating my party I got frustrated because of the lack of monks, cleric deities, barbarians... I literally just sat there with an angry look on my face trying to rethink the party I had planned in my head. Now, I have: Elven Male Fighter/Thief (Melee) Dwarven Male Fighter (Melee) Dwarven Male Fighter/Cleric (Melee) Human Female Cleirc (Melee) Human Female Thief (Shortbow) Elven Female Wizard (Sling)

At least it's RPG related. ;-)

Installing Quake 4 as we speak.

The sarcastic humor must've flown a bit too high.

Either that or they watched the Ring too much. *firm nod* Maybe Project New Jersey is a survival horror.

Well, I've got it installed just need a companion now.

I'm playing a bit of everything at the moment. Might pickup Hitman: Blood Money & Quake 4 tomorrow. Currently playing: Icewind Dale: HoW & ToL (No Mods), a variety of raster fighters, DooM (of course), and... might install Fable: The Lost Chapters depending if I can find the DVD version around here.

WinAMP - It comes with Vorbis support, and I only use the playlist feature. I'm simple.

I can't telp but notice that the favicon.ico and devpost.gif are the symbols fo the Forgotten Realms deity Shar. Does the Obsidian staff stay up all night keeping secrets and use modern day technology with shadow weave? I know what the programmers are up to. What do you have to say for yourselves? Too much NWN2? :ph34r:

I'm just not being optimistic is all. I'd like to see a Linux client but it's not probable.

I only like consoles because they have games like Capcom VS SNK 2. I hate consoles now. :angry:
