Pidesco Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Hades has, in fact, been a Microsoft plant since the Black Isle days. It's all part of Bill Gates' insidious plan to get all hardcore RPG gamers to use Windows Vista. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
Judge Hades Posted June 9, 2006 Author Posted June 9, 2006 A fern is what a fern does. I have decided to download the 64bit version since I have a 64 bit processor.
Pidesco Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 I would like to note that if you take The h and the d from Hades and put a g and a t instead you'll get the word Gates. Now, what does that tell you? :ph34r: "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!!

Craigboy2 Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Hey Hades can you post some pics of Vista? "Your total disregard for the law and human decency both disgusts me and touches my heart. Bless you, sir." "Soilent Green is people. This guy's just a homeless heroin junkie who got in a internet caf

Bokishi Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 I remember me and Ender bashing Vista because of cruddy OpenGl support, but what game uses openGL now? Current 3DMark
Judge Hades Posted June 9, 2006 Author Posted June 9, 2006 How am I pirating Windows Vista Beta 2 when I am downloading it off the Microsoft server with permission from Microsoft?

Kaftan Barlast Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 What Ive heard of Windows Vista, its not something Id like to have on my computer unless I absolutely had to. Tons of MS-spyware, DRM's and more DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself. Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture. "I suppose outright stupidity and complete lack of taste could also be considered points of view. "
alanschu Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 I remember me and Ender bashing Vista because of cruddy OpenGl support, but what game uses openGL now? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Anything Carmack related it seems. I know NWN was OpenGL. Though I believe Carmack himself is impressed with the improvements DirectX had made.
Judge Hades Posted June 9, 2006 Author Posted June 9, 2006 Well, I am under 2 hours. 4 gigs take a long time to download.
alanschu Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 2 hours isn't long at all. Go watch a movie or have a nap.

alanschu Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Hehehe. As long as they don't think about charging for it like the initially were doing with Direct3D, I won't care a whole lot. If they do, I wouldn't be surprised to see Doom take off. A real advantage of OpenGL though is that other operating systems support it.
Haitoku Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) So, what's Vista suppose to improve exactly? Edited June 9, 2006 by Haitoku
