Boy, that was weird. The interactivity was good. The writing was funny though felt a little slited. I get the impression that is was written by someone whose first language wasn't enlish. 

the guy's name was Brendon Chung, so I guess his first language could be chinese. I didn't really analyse the writing myself, and tbh, I doubt I could have done any better :)

I did have a good time with it though, even though it barely lasted 10 minutes. 

So, anyone played Call of Duty: United Offensive expansion for ....call of duty? Got it today, played a bit of both sp and dm. Both are so far, so good. The addition of vehicles and the new weapons I think will make this my go-to for team-dm since the last CoD patch they nerfed all the machine gun spreads so you cant hit anything.

Anyone else? 

is there a program that will look on the internet on CDDB and rename mp3 files correctly? 

probably not -- i think CDDB uses the track listing data from a CD as a fingerprint to identify it. mp3 files do not retain that data. Maybe you could do it based on track length, but i bet you'd get way to many candidates that all had the same length. 

The way CDDB works is it reads the length of the entire cd and the length each of the tracks. This creates an id like a fingerprint. What are the odds of 2 cds being the exact same length with 12 tracks of the exact same length? It cant look at an individual mp3 and change it as there are 1000's of songs of the same length.

I dont know of anything that will redo the tags automagicly. There is a lot of stuff out there that you can use to change them manually. 

ok, i was affraid it was something like that.

thanks anyway. 

Actually you can. Just do a search on Google. I found this one pretty quickly.

As far as I can tell it uses FreeDB (CDDB is evil, don't use it), exact track length and possibly partial info. 

Some here, jplambert , should grab it for a try, but most have probably already finished the retail game once, if not more.

The demo contains the first 3 levels of the game in Mars City. 461MB Don't let that put you off, you know you want it

Download Fileplanet, sorry

Guess I never seen the discussion thread, just looked at the news and here :(

Nevermind me, carry on 

Thanks, I will take a look for sure ;) 

Damned... I've not seen that it was a 461MByte file... it will takt 1 or 2 weeks to download with my 56k modem !! So I think I will not be able to download this file... grrrr... 

Some here, jplambert ...

errr... why me particularly ??? 

You were deciding back a bit whether or not to buy the game, and if your PC would be able to run it etc, I was trying to convince you to get it. Most of all, I think you would like the experience :) 

OK, I understand... Well, today, it only misses me some RAM (Doom3 need at least ~ 380Mo RAM I remember well, and I only have 256), so I have to buy some RAM before buying Doom3... sure I will do it as soon as possible...
Thank you very much for this informations... 

So I got one of those fancy mx700 mice from amazon as they were running a sale the other day. I installed the mouseware drivers but now when i scroll-click (You know, clicking with the wheel) on a link in firefox/whatever it doesn't open in a new tab. Anyway to fix this? I know one or two of you use these. 

Nevermind, i figured it out. (Had to set scroll to 'middle button' in the drivers.) 

poor mouse in the middle of Amazona without a driver.... 

D3 wallpaper I slapped together with the skybox files in the pak file:

BTW - I noticed the skybox images are like this:

------top------
left-center-right
-----bottom----

So I assume that they all wrap into some kind of spherical or ball shape? 

Wow, really nice wallpaper !!! 

I have it in 800x600, 1024x768, 1600x1200

I can't take credit, I just put id's images together :P 

played the demo, thought it was shit. I quite enjoyed the vehicle bit, although it wasn't the best thing ever or anyway, but the section afterwards was pretty appalling. The gameplay just consists of following exact orders from AI guys, or getting blown up by mortars. Don't stray from anyone when you are asked to follow them, or you die.

It's shit, it's not what I play games for. It's cinematic but nearly Dragon's Lair in gameplay terms. 

Pretty tasteful bit of wallpaper there. 

i assume it's a cubemap just like q2 and q3

You must not have liked the original CoD too, eh?
