Oh noes! I did it a day early (not even knowing today was the day) Plus, I have too much to do after work today and won't be able to clean anything anyway.

... quite possibly mad.

Wait... The original Call of Duty WAS a WWII game. Came out to compete with BF1942. So, Full circle it is just like NeoNemesis said... <sigh>

Enjoying life the best I can.

Read through the nominees. Haven't played all the games, but know enough that I'm finding it hard to disagree with any of them. Will be interesting to see how thing roll out in the end. Given the number of games on Steam, pretty cool idea - let those that play the games have a say in what...

"Waste" product is Helium. Not a bad deal as Helium is getting scarce (or is very controlled).

I want all of the whole thing.

I am not sure I could have said it better than this.

But... OTHER GAMES. And work. And life. And buying a house and doing some remodel work. And OTHER GAMES :D

I haven't even "finished" GTA V yet... <sigh>

Former co-worker is one of the artists for this game. He did the concept art they used on the kickstarter, then taught himself 3D skills so after all the 2D stuff was done, he continued on with the game. The good reviews have blown them away -- they put 100% of the budget into making the game...

Ego Much? Like us regular people could just call Apple's CEO and inform them of something that needs corrected in SIRI. <sigh>

It wasn't a "price hike" it was a slight increase. When the term Price Hike is used in headlines, articles, and everywhere, people are going to freak out. I am paying $2 more a month than I was (my increase hit this month). Two. Dollars. That's it. Same people that bitch about Netflix HD...

Most excellent acceleration there....

... Thanks Steve... just burned up some time...

Pretty much. They don't like it when YOU record the phone call very much.

This is why I get everything in writing before signing anything. Someone telling me something over the phone can be disputed unless it's been recorded. Yeah.

Thank Obama..... lolol

It does sound like they should be suing just about every website, including Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple..... dang, that's a pretty broad, and deep, patent claim.

Article is missing a lot a lot of details; like what the actual technology is, same with Priceline. Don't think it's group / mass deals. There's something else that BigBlue is upset about.

Part of the testing process prior to rolling it out. Beta users are small percentage of the millions that use Steam. Rolling out untested patches would be a bad thing... a very very bad thing. Having had to clean up from untested patch rollouts... yeah. it's a bad thing.

That's what I'm thinking.... heh

Five week to make a game..... five. weeks. The hits he wrote were 6 to 8 months in production / testing. The concept was there, but the execution was lacking - I bought the game, and even way back then, enjoyed until the parts where the bugs broke things. Figured out where to avoid certain, but...

You can use the version you have, and it even works with the 'reduex' hi-res stuff. Several Clan mates re-installed from disc and it works fine - 3.20 is the latest: Quake 2 Patch v3.20 Client side you can run what you like for visuals. The lithium mod is server side.

If anyone is looking for a 24/7 Quake 2 Lithium server sitting on a phat pipe (server is in Spokane WA, Pipe goes to Seattle) We also have a Mumble server, TF2, and GRAV running currently.

I played the hell out of the original XCOM back in the day. Never an easy game to 'win'. The franchise has been pretty good over the years, and this latest release has me quite intrigued -- sadly, very little time to commit to playing it for quite some time. :(

Ummm... yesterday was the 4th..... Friday, today is the 5th. <sigh> Gotta love accurate reporting.

I got an email for Roku saying how to stream it. Not that I'll be watching it - I just love the 'panic' everyone is in over how to watch it when it's totally a non-issue.

Oh, I translated the "wah wahhhh waaaaahhhhh wahhh". I should have mentioned that. ;)

Cliff notes: I am a rich, spoiled, entitled person and I did not get my way and want the world to know my feelings have been hurt because of this. That's how I read his "rant" and is "attempted cover up".

Most of the servers I work on have VGA - it's simple, cheap, and very little overhead on the system. I could see this going to DVI, but then look at all the KVMs that would need replaced.....

One of those "this looks like stupid fun... Let's Play!"

They swipe it, and give you a receipt, all within your view. The issue is the system stores some of that data - how much varies and the less the better. You don't need much to be honest. The breaches tend to happen as the transactions are send back and forth -- that's where the juicy bits are...

The TelCo (currently CentruryLink) was grandfathered in since they own the copper. There is an actual city ordnance on the books that Comcast has sole broadband and wired TV service within the city limits. Nobody can come in and provide either service. It sucks. The dark fiber was laid by third...

And in areas where Comcast it, they tend to have a legal monopoly. Our choices in the 'kan are Comcast or CenturyTel. That's it. There is miles of dark fiber in town - Comcast blocks any attempt to turn it on as they actually do have a legal monopoly in the city limits. <sigh>.

Personally, I tend to upgrade "one part at a time" - Moved into some SSDs over the last year, new GPU, more storage in the server, added RAM, new monitors, and the like. Eventually, the mobo / CPU / RAM get repalced, but I keep everything else. I can not remember the last time I had a 100% all...

Taking a break from Fallout 4 and playing some GRAV with friends. We have a private server set up, so it's much nicer that way. Also working on a building up another server to replace two dying ones we have hosted at local datacenter. Will be a nice improvement.

As an engineer -- this is pretty fucking cool. There's a lot going on here with this device -- a lot of cool stuff :)

That kind of sucks. Then again, I haven't bought anything from TigerDirect since the '90s when they had the best prices on some software we needed. There's a lot of competition with consumer computer parts ... tough to stay ahead.

I admit, I LOL'd at the sillyness of it.... Thank you internet for the LOL (ironic?)
