  1. Yar, I've been playin' it. German TD line, as well as making my way to a Panther. Fun little action game,but some very odd results at times. They've thrown some seriously up gunned tanks together with mostly historical armour values which really makes for short games, and less of a tactical feel. I'm a bit bitter as one of my favourite little CM toys, the Hetzer, was a major disappointment in this game. Low to the ground, steeply sloped armour, and a decent gun. And it was awful. Even the few ricochets scored on my little Hetzer would still knock 2-3 subsystems out, one of which was always the engine. Grr. I was hoping for more of a sim, but this'll do, for now.
  2. Flying at 'no height' could mean NOE, height. As in NOE AGL. But I only recall the term due to days long ago of playing Harpoon.
  3. And to promote this new game, Mechwarrior IV is going to be released for free, at some point in the future, as yet unannounced. I'm frankly amazed that the Warhammer is appearing again, I was under the impression that it was one of the 'vanished' designs, like the Marauder? Though it was nice to see a Jenner in the trailer, enough with all the super-tech, back to roots!
  4. Thanks for posting the presentation, Steve. Very interesting talk and it keeps a good pace so as not to bore the audience.
  5. No, but I did rather enjoy his performance in that film in which he played a guy. Is this (Youtube) the interview you are referencing? Being difficult in an interview or acting the petulant child seems like a fantastic way to gain some quick publicity for a new'ish gig. I didn't know that video cameras were part of a radio show. The host seems to handle the hostility well enough.
  6. I'm a skeptic. 1ms? I get lag on games not because my PC doesn't meet requirements or the server doesn't meet requirements, I get lag because there are a lot of hops between my PC and the server. Introducing a component which may lag between input and display causes me to doubt. Playing a multiplayer game through ONLIVE seems like a compounded lag issue, if we're allowed to connect with non-ONLIVE members at all. I can't imagine this working with the current network infrastructure. I love the ideas and technology involved, but I'm skeptical of it working without significant changes to our current delivery systems. I wonder at how many people can have their games running on a server at any one time, I wonder at the bandwidth costs, I wonder how many hops away from an ONLIVE server you'd have to be to get that vaunted 1ms response time, I wonder what my ISP would do? Internet outages would certainly be that much more frustrating, to be sure. My ISP capped p2p, will I end up having to buy into expensive packages for ONLIVE to work? What would they do about ONLIVE if it starts eating up too much? So many questions. I really doubt cloud computing for gaming, for now, though I would love to see it work. I would sign up or the North American beta, but it ain't open to Canuckians. Drat, 'cause I'd love to have my doubts proven to be unfounded.
  7. As a Canadian, I'd like to know where and how I can vote to reject the absorption of the 'Central North-American Republic', by my nation. We have enough trouble with the Quebecois and their Frenchy ways. I really don't think that we could deal with Americans and their Americanised-English. It'd be a disaster were we to associate overmuch with the 'CNAR'. It's colour or couleur not color, for cripessakes!
  8. Pics or I call fake. The Russian grog, I mean.
  9. Hmm, so there is an end. Good to know, I was starting to suspect that I was trapped in some sort of Hell in which I was consigned to the fate of solving riddles for the rest of eternity. Rather fun and challenging all told but, I'm almost ashamed to admit this, my sleep patterns have been a little off since starting on the riddles. I'm now on riddle 41, and I think I'm going to take a break for a few days. I think so far that 26, 34 and 40 were the most frustrating for me. Curse you Other Means!
  10. Thanks for the post Other Means, good fun. Dumrox, riddle seven is a bit of a kicker, considering the image dimensions.
  11. Or the other beauty of the computer seeming to run all flawless like, only to begin exhibiting symptoms of instability after two dozen hours, or so. Which also assumes that after said hours of stress testing, and before the new evil happenin's which sets your hair to the lovely crazy pulled out look, bein' the 'puter has been all functional like you've naturally begun the process of repopulating and migrating to the new system, with all of your preferred programs and settings. Hours spent gettin' everythin' all rosy and comfy like, as you had it before. BAM. BSOD. Reboot. BAM. Different BSOD. Rinse and repeat a dozen times. Rebuild system in a bevy of differing configurations while attempting to isolate the issue. More blue. Just got my mobo back from RMA, the PCI Bus and mem are now playing all nice and friendly like, no longer are they setting about corrupting my drives and all else. Blech, what fun that was. She's still runnin' pretty for me, and what a prance she has, at that. A quick play-through of both Portal and Mirror's Edge soothed my inclination to kick her in the CPU if she ever let me down again. Hope your system stays stable OM.
  12. "This video has been removed due to terms of use violation." No such luck, it would seem. Were you meaning something like this?
  13. Yeah that detail is a might eye catching, aye? Solarians are rarity these days, in truth it's all mole-people and reptoids, now. She should have known that be a giveaway. Silly bit.
  14. Is this some sort of ironical or metaphorical thingy? As in he's so in love with himself that he dedicated some sort of 'I love you' video, you himself? Or is he just looking for a woman that will be as in to him as he is into himself? Is it meant to be comedy? I do believe I've missed the point of the video entirely, if the intention was not one of the above.
