  1. That's ALL the starwars games, not the best of them. Kotor1,2 and jedi academy are the best. X-wing and TIE-fighter werent really that good if you take off the rose-coloured glasses of nostalgia.
  2. Ive been watching F1 off and on since I was a kid, but this year I thought id really get into it because everything if complete chaos with the new rules, so anything could happen. So Ive intentionally gotten myself all worked up by reading up on aerodynamics, playing loads of racing games and carefully chosing the right beer for each event. So, is anyone else watching it? I know americans tend to be confused when a racetrack actually has turns, but we do have a more sensible euro presence here.
  3. To semi-quote the CEO of Paradox "A game usually begins with someone having an idea while in the shower" For the smaller games and mods Ive been invovled in, its typicly in this order 1. gameplay mechanics 2. technical possibilities 3. visual style 4. setting/story/characters
  4. No, I dont think that was a common bug. One thing with the Kotor series that was more common was that, in an effort to save texture space, they cut the faces in half and used the same half mirrored on both sides. Depending on your gfx and drivers, faces would show a black line in the seam where the texture was split. More of a glitch than a bug, but it was annoying here you can see it in the background
  5. Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines - Remember that it actually shipped with a system-wide gamestopper bug crash? About halfway through the game you were supposed to exit some caves in a small boat, but the game crashed when attemtping to load the next level. You had to download a hack some ambitious fan made to be able to finish the game, because Troika didnt release a patch until a week or two after.
  6. The full beard is way cooler than the Lenin. The trick is that it requires a real manly man to carry it properly. vs. ..also, I have to remind you that I am so open-minded that Im as colorblind to sexuality as I am to race. In my world, pink is just another shade of grey . Bear that in mind at all times, thankyou. (pun may or may not be intended)
  7. I think his beard is opressing his face. It should resort to armed revolt.
  8. I have no idea how the AI reasons when it comes to peace negotioations. I managed to get a peacy treaty with the russians after I took Moscow but thats the only time an AI has agreed to peace. Denmark is isolated out on iceland with no money and no army but they absolutely refuse peace or any other offer I bring. The amphibious invasions are strange, could they do that in previous TW games or is this something CA has never succeeded to implement?
  9. The latest patch fixed my sound problems again after the last one screwed them up. The musketfire just looped like crazy, but its good again. ..but they still havent fixed the misplaced stats on the ships. 2nd rates are still completely useless while light galleons have amazing firepower
  10. They released ANOTHER patch just like 20min ago. Which was necessary because I kept getting "out of video memory" crash errors.. on a card with 1gb memory
  11. Its easier than that, just the adress to a reasonably fast proxy server, fill that in under the settings in whatever browser you're using and you're done. Firefox have plugins that lets you turn the proxy on/off quick for when you dont want to use the proxy. The only problem is that you generally have to pay for access to a fast and proper proxy
  12. My friend who sees everything says the show is rubbish except for the guy from "Hot Rod" who played Rods dad.
  13. That was up on Cgtalk a while ago, they used a fair deal of CGI and compositing to make it. But its fun to watch nontheless, I dont like this viral ad thingies, I actually fell for the . I wasnt that ridiculed though, even though I deserved it. It would take a complete idiot to believe that mclaren would actually rig a hundred million dollar F1 car with a remote control and drive it around.
  14. And how is recording the show on your tivo any less stealing than downloading it off the internet? Both ways result in having a watcheable copy of the show on your hardrive, and both result in the same loss of revenue for the network due to lost advertising time.
  15. I dont drink fizzy drinks/pop/whatever because they make you fat and bloated. I do drink milk though, because they never get it straight if its bad or good for adults to drink. One week its bad, the other some repaort says its a miracle drink. Today I spend all day texturing and configuring my SubSurfaceScteering skin shader, while simultaneously cooking a christmas ham in the oven. Its been in for over 8 hours and its still not cooked. My eyes are about to fall out of my head and staring at the same texture all day has made me temporarily colourblind, everything is too green because Ive been staring at red. I tink its time I went grocery shopping and airbreathing.
  16. Well, where's the stuff then? I dont see anything on the front page.
  17. Whats this thread about?
  18. Dreamt all morning about trying to pick up Tory Foster from BSG. Woke up and and just then a friend of mine said "hello". Apparently I had slept with the front door ajar. very odd. Went out for our regular sunday coffee, ate a semla. Went home and spend the afternoon doing nothing at all. Wrote in this thread for the first time ever.
  19. I really liked this ending, not so much the whole BSG-becomes-real thing, but the way the tied it together. In these days of Soprano-like anticlimactic bull**** non-endings, it was real refreshing to see something come to a definite and satisfying conclusion. I almost cried in the end with Adama on the hilltop
  20. Ive seen some of it, dont remeber how much. But its a bit more entertaining than the Stalker film. That one was just three guys waling around in the woods talking.
  21. I decided to test how much the Swedish Empire can withstand and thus Im now at war with.. everyone. And the AI decided it had to prove the reviewers wrong and so France laucnhed a devastating attack on the Netherland and destroyed them completely in just a few turns. Awesome.
  22. i^2=-1 They made me take a class of advanced mathematics at Uni. I passed complex numbers before I stopped going. It was quite useless as the most advanced math I do is things like [rotations per second]*[slider value]
  23. Sounds a bit like a sexually transmitted didease to me
  24. Maybe they have som abilities that the regular troops lack? Still, being able to hide in woodland or whatever, isnt really worth paying extra for.
  25. Early April fools prank? They cant be serious.
