  1. I'm playing it without fan patches. The only awkward bits are the statues, so far. Zombies are zombies, after all. Do you recommend any fan texture mods?
  2. Psst. They aren't targeted at you, they're for the others.
  3. I haven't read up on ClipMap/MipMapping yet, but I'd be interested to see the real advantages ... especially now that the latest GPUs have unified architectures.
  4. Gives a whole new meaning to "Battle of the Sexes". :D
  5. no, but stupid CDMA phones will continually search for a network and burn themselves out in the process... grrr. razr = crap. You could not give me a Motorola phone I can't stand their OS. Actually I did know that the risk is negligible: it's the vapour that's flammable, not the liquid. (Good old exploding Hollywood cars.) What? You mean you didn't issue special "Y2K Certified" mercury bulb t-stats?!?!11!! You missed a big opportunity there ..!
  6. They all laughed in wordwork ... but you showed them ..!
  7. That's because I wasn't talking about the comic but rather the movie... Astrocreep zinging one over Mets? That's impossible! I am trying not to smackdown people in my role as moderator. (I didn't see any purpose in continuing to point out that he was comparing an older franchise with a newer one.)
  8. Fact is stranger than fiction.
  9. Three-dimensional Checkmate in two moves.

  10. Well, to be fair, that's pretty much all it should do. *downloads*
  11. Sounds like Moron is using the wrong carrier. If he was with my company he would not need to repeat himself. It's more a problem at the handset, rather than over the connection.
  12. That's one of the arguments for not allowing mobiles in hospitals. Moron: Hi ... yeah ... no I'm at the hospital ... the hospital ... THE HOSPITAL ... no, Dad's sick ... No, ... No ... DAD ... he's sick ... Dad' sick ... WHAT? NO, I'M AT THE HOSPITAL ... WHAT?
  13. I'm surprised I tied my shoes with all the nonsense in my head.
  14. Seen it? I have it on tape for special ocassions. "
  15. That, and the fact that teenagers have all sorts of brain conniptions going on.
  16. Ah, yes, I see what you mean. So its not really a "Gay Bomb" but rather an "Indiscriminate Msss Orgy Bomb" aka IMOB or "Bomb of Mass SeXX0rs" You wait, it'll be in all the clubs soon.
  17. Carried unanimously.
  18. I was referring to the learning process, rather than the content. I feel that teenagerhood messes with the brain to make simple tasks a lot more difficult.
  19. After being betrayed by seemingly innocuous friends of the vampiric circle, I was encased in my own coffin and dumped in the middle of the ocean causing me to fall into a deep state of torpor. But thanks to the aid of the ever intrepid Polly, we managed to lure a Japanese tourist shop to our rescue, of whom naturally we left for dead with with booty to boot (hence my recent "acquisition" of a PS3). So, Jags, is the ranking: Freelancer, Space Rangers and then Darkstar One? I would say that ranking is just about right among the Arcadian Space Sims (as in you're flying along and you can "break" as if you had tires gripping the road as hard as Paris Hilton is holding out for the opportunity for house arrest; also, space navigation is actually feasible through the cunning use of way-points; further, ships move nice and easily and as frequently has Hades sadly attempts to flirt with Darque; lastly, trading is simply yet additively implemented and basically consists of buying low and selling high). However, out of the games from recent times, the rankings would probably be X3, X2, and Eve-Online out of the Newtonian Space Sims (as in you're flying really fast and cut power to the engines but continue to spiral along like an unwanted Jorian on a spamming spree; also, space navigation consists of aimlessly wandering through space with the glimmer of hope of encountering something to shoot at, however, upon the realization that there really will never ever be anything to shoot at, you start shooting at random pieces of rock (AKA "mining") and pretend that something special will rather fortuitously pop out; further, ships move about as fast as a knocked-up Rosie O'Donnell and react much slower when subjected to hostile fire; and lastly, even an economics degree from Harvard School of Business WILL NOT guarantee you fiscal success, as you watch your credits slowly dwindle before your very eyes into the depths of space where only Chuck Norris can hear you scream). So ... is X3 better than Freelancer?
  20. I think the analogy can be put as doing up a house versus a new build. Obviously, you can't renovate a two-up-two-down into a six bedroom mansion with a guest wing and a swimming pool. But, if you want to take a great little block of land and make the best of it, doing up an old house is quite workable. Think also of trying to make a Ferrari out of a Beetle. (Requirements Determination is a valuable skill and will net you much money on your CV.) Building an engine from scratch is a MAJOR undertaking. One can only assume that if the original poster is seriously considering it, then the Quake 3 engine isn't suitable in its current form, and will need significant modification. (Otherwise it's a ludicrous question.)
  21. You should be able to repair the install, though the recovery panel. It's likely just the main .dll got corrupted.
