I prefer full-games for a couple of reasons.
Btw, I think episodes is just another word for an expansion pack. Both are dirty words in my opinion.
1) Episodes are a cheesy way for the developer/publisher to make money and rip off the consumer. 2 (or more) episodes = 1 game yet cost...
My first job was working at a pizza place (Domino's). Answering phones sucked until I was quasi-promoted and allowed to make pizza's. Making pizza is fun :D
A second option would be to take the utmost crappiest job possible. A little incentive to make you progress in life. I might...
Being in a serious relationship creates more of an impact when you do have sex. So much so that that having sex when not in a serious relationship...seems wrong. I personally believe marriage should happen before sex, but I did not follow that belief. I just know that when you truely love...
It's 10:15 at night and it is 91F. It reached 112F yesterday afternoon. Low humidity, but it is still plenty hot when you have to wear a shirt and tie to work. :x
Yeah! Adventure Games! Wohoooohoooo!
ok, maybe not. :| I don't know anything about adventure / puzzle games, so I need some help to find some good ones. Co-op gameplay would be a plus.
I'm not too worried about the bugs in Vista, I'm more concerned about the resource hog it will be. Anything short of a state of the art computer when Vista is released, I won't be upgrading.
I would rather have an operating system that is fast and semi-stable than an operating system that is...
I thought DNF was IP owned by 3D Realms and thought it was wholly self-funded. The only thing I thought Take-Two was to provide was manufacturing and distribution. If my thoughts are correct, that extra payout is the benefit of "publishing" the game.
I think that is why WoW is so popular. From levels 1 to 59, I can log on whenever and actually accomplish something and still have the option to group for quests and do instances. Its great for the average person when they can't reliably dedicate 4 hours of play time per sitting.
What's...
I have a Dell UltraSharp 2007WFP 20.1-inch Widescreen Flat Panel LCD.
It is amazing. I have personally yet to see another monitor (CRT) included that matches it.
Doing rather well. :) Been rather busy though with a new-ish job. I'm also recovering from a case of World of Warcraft-itis (that lasted 1+ year *cough*).
Friendly Tip: Your college should have some seminars / workshops on how to find the perfect job and seminars / workshops on effective interviewing techniques. (Attend them in person instead of reading them online, it makes a difference)
By going to a few of those, it improved my...
Realistically, you shouldn't notice that much of a difference between an X-Box and an X-Box 360. After all, the same graphics principles are the same (the use of pixel shaders). No longer will game systems distinguish themselves by going to that next graphical plateau. System developers can...
Part of me always knew Stalker was never meant to be, it was such a ambitious game. They tried to give the feeliing of an engaging, open ended RPG, with FPS elements, amazing graphics, and every feature wanted by gamers.
The two most things that irritate me about the "new" Stalker is:
1)...
Heh, find a new job.
Consider this, a year out of college I work 40 hours a week and receive a salary of $41,000. That is roughly $20.50 per hour. In two years, I will be earning $60,000 a year (no joke). That is roughly $30.00 per hour. In addition, there is a much higher earnings...
Its not procedural texturing. If you look at a screenshot of quake wars, you can see blurry ground textures because there are no more mip maps to enhance detail. With procedural texturing, you don't have that problem because the mip map is continually calculated (based off of distance). (For...
A great game, just not my cup of tea :)
You should try it if its abandonware. Shame that space epics have fallen to the way side. It would be nice to see a space game with whiz bang graphics and a great story.
Getting a new router may not fix the problem. It may help a bit but not solve the problem. Buying a hi-gain antenna is probably a cheaper and more effective solution. Plus if it doesn't work, return it. You can buy these antennas at your local Fry's Electronics or CompUSA.
