mkreku Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about! First death match win, baby! Bok was there too - it was glorious! I clicked on the picture, innocent as I am, and suddenly, in huge, bold letters, did the F-word pop up!!1! My virginal eyes will never be the same again. I will have to clean them out with steel wool and chlorine for an hour before going to be tonight and it's all your fault, jaggy boy. I will now make sure you are banned for life from these forums. You filth. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Tale Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 (edited) It's missing something. Wait, is that the same char as in your avatar? Out of curiosity. Edited June 20, 2007 by Tale "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Tale Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 Then what is the avatar from? "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Deadly_Nightshade Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 It's from Icewind Dale... "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot

metadigital Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 So you're playing Oblivion with an Icewind Dale character! OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

Wistrik Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 Syberia This game only runs at 800x600 resolution, which means it's slightly blurry on modern high-resolution LCD displays. Fortunately it responds better than older games (like TLJ) to graphics tweaks. For example, Syberia's AA option has no apparent effect so I used nHancer to create a Syberia profile and then enabled 16x combined (multi + super) sampling FSAA. Jaggies went bye bye and now Kate and other characters blend in better with the rest of the scene. There doesn't seem to be a built-in screen capture feature so I used the old trick of pressing PrtScn and then firing up PSP and going to Edit > Paste As New Image. This image reflects how she looks after my tweaks. She had very jagged outlines before (alas, I didn't take a 'before' shot.) Kate must have deep pockets in her coat, because she stuffs them with everything she finds. If I let her stand still long enough, she does a self-inspection animation that's exactly like April Ryan's in The Longest Journey. The hallway outside her room looks almost identical (in shape/layout) to the hallway outside April's room, and their rooms are both on the right side of the hall. This gave me a strong feeling of deja-v

Tale Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 I love adventure games. I practically consider them my favored genre. But I could not get into Syberia. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
