Forgot to mention this last night.

The Matrix Reloaded is cool. Awesome fight sequences. The first movie was better though, IMHO. This is because it had some magical and mysterious qualities that Reloaded couldn't have. In The Matrix, you find out everything as the movie progresses, but in Reloaded you already know a lot before the movie even starts.

(Also that Green Guy Pitfall icon is meant to look like a kung fu fighter for the sake of this post.) 

While yes the cards maybe expensive, they are much more quiet. The first GeforceFX 56-5800s were the loud ones. These now feature a larger heatsink so the fan doesn't need to be as fast and loud. 

anyone have a hold of a quake->unreal geometry converter? I had one before I reformatted, but now I don't. You can just email one to me (netgames@netdp.com) or drop a link here or there. Thanks.

That doesnt sound promising :) 

Or...

You could get a top end Radeon for less money and virtually the same levels of performance. And it's not annoyingly loud.


That of course presuming that you hadn't noticed the rest of the PC specs... 

i looked again at hi res pics of the lost souls (cmon, if i get the name wrong it's just because i'm drunk...at 2pm, ok its a lie)

the reason why they seem tame is cos the eyes and the mouth expression seems similar to that of Michael Jackson shouting "aww" (skull farthest to the left). besides, the face looks like it's taken from Kate Moss. why didnt they start with MJs face. now that WOULD be scary.

ok, i'll fuck off now. got exams to revise. 

I want to get a brightened, HALF LIFE (wad3) file of all of the quake2 textures for use with WC3.3 to make Q2 levels. Now, I'm trying to make a batch conversion of all of the .wals to a wad3 file with wally, but wally seems convinced that there's "nothing to convert." Any suggestions? 

i made myself a .wad of all the q2 textures for use with WC 3.3... you can get it here:

http://groove.ath.cx/~inertia/pub/q2all.hlwad.zip

i got a special version of riot's wadconv tool that has a >1024 limit on the number of textures converted, so i just took my wc1.6-compatible q2all.wad and converted it to a wc3.3-compatible q2all.hlwad

hopefully this works =] 

I am not sure I will be able to run the qw ffa day for some time. There are a few reasons for this. First of all it seems that interest is dying down, sometimes it is hard to find 3 people willing to play. The second reason is that I will be quite busy and may not be around on the weekends to get the games started.

If someone from #terrafusion would like to organize the ffa they can contact me in irc and I will give them rcon to the server. 

Well I haven't been playing because I've been too busy with finals and final projects. Now that I'm through with that, I should be able to play almost every weekend. 

I've finally released my first -- and possibly last -- Quake 3 map, Massaggio Galore. It's a cute little pointy thing, all puffed up and crumbly on the edges. No, really -- check it out at http://www.planetquake.com/biff and see what I'm talking about =) 

I love you guys and everything, but don't stop posting! Its quiet around here, tooo quiet.... 

Discuss! 

Con.

nice.

and useless. 

someone could make it useful, by using it. 

Can anyone recommend a good quake1 front end? 

i've been looking for that for a long time. cmon someone give us a link! 

I thought it was interesting when I read the new TIME magazine today, that they covered E3 and did not mention Doom3. Halflife2, Sims2, and some sim game revolving around filmmaking which looked disfunctional to me.

Anyhow, does it seem to anyone else that we have the most promising batch of PC possibilities coming in the fall? It has been years since I was excited for releases like this. Doom3, HL2, HaloPC. When the hell is DeusEx2 coming out?

Also, was surprised that all the games covered in TIME magazine were PC, no console games mentioned. 

EDIT THE ABOVE POST thanks

(This has nothing to do with manhattan project appearing on torrentse some time ago. Nah-ah, I swear! Honest! Really! Uh-huh!)

Duke Nukem is a fuckwad, and I trule hate his entire person with all my seven inches of might. But Manhattan Project, whoo that's a good game! Very very very excellent old style 2D platform gameplay with hot hot hot new 3D graphics. Just the kind of game that I have been lusting for. So yeah, f'ing excellent stuff! (Even if it had been a hojillion times better if it didn't include Duke himself...) Go get it!

That's probably becuase doom3 was barely present at the [expo part of the] show -- they had one little unmanned display case with a couple of TVs playing a video loop.
