  1. ohho... better lock the gun thingy... (that thing you put guns in)
  2. Buying a new Mac/PC, advice?

    well.. linux is not GTK, and GTK is not linux.. but yeah... GTK apps suffer annoying window focus issues on Windows.
  3. Word is not a text editor, it's a word processor
  4. Buying a new Mac/PC, advice?

    really? is it so much better on linux/macosx? I thought it was the same application/
  5. there must be some way to change the saying "the pen is mightier than the sword" to fit that part. maybe... "Microsoft Word is mightier than Counter Strike"
  6. A possibly ill-informed rant about HD displays

    really? don't see that.
  7. A possibly ill-informed rant about HD displays

    well.. usually a game contains moving pictures so you won't notice small artifacts. and to be honest, I don't see any difference between the two images
  8. Why not link him to director John Woo too. Beause he was holding two pistols, which is a director trademark of Woo. etc. etc. Actually... if you want to link him with any entertainment form, books would be the best, because he was an English major (iirc). Anyway you can link everything with it. Useless search for a scapegoat. The fact remains that the guy was seriouly screwed up.
  9. 1up has a preview on the, rather cool, ut2004 mod Drawn to be Alive. In which they state they are looking into going commercial, but with their feet still on solid ground, e.g. not going for a cash-in. I hope they succeed in at least finishing the game. Because they [thread=5080]good use of a engine[/thread]. Anyway, it's good to hear they are still working on it, because the previous rumours pretty much left the mod dead in the water.
  10. A possibly ill-informed rant about HD displays

    There is a proper solution for digital television called AFD.
  11. A possibly ill-informed rant about HD displays

    then why do they make movies in 1.85:1 and beyond (e.g. ever wider).
  12. A possibly ill-informed rant about HD displays

    Because the DVD movies often simply use the film print without any changes, thus you'll have a 2.35:1 or even 2.76:1 resolution. Back in the video cassette days they used a thing called pan&scan to cut the movie down to 4:3
  13. A possibly ill-informed rant about HD displays

    16:10 is very old, it's CGA (320x200), it's often used for widescreen computer monitors, not for TVs (iirc).
  14. so... you would buy the Oblivion horse wallpaper?
  15. "I am The Milkman; my milk [was]... powdered"

    err..... what is the right emoticon for this... ok... idlethumbs has no emoticon for what I'm feeling right now
  16. "I am The Milkman; my milk [was]... powdered"

    Milkman... a different kind of "special" delivery
  17. GTA IV trailer

    nice, but it's only rooms, usually there are things like desks and what not in such a building.
  18. Buying a new Mac/PC, advice?

    Just some virtualization software (like the many others out there).
  19. GTA IV trailer

    Multi Theft Auto sort of sucked. It's only deathmatch with cars and poorly executed (imho) because it relies on the original code which isn't very well suited for multiplayer, so no NPCs. The result was is a chaotic spamfest. GTA2's MP was better since the world was still alive. The traffic in GTA is very important.
  20. GTA IV trailer

    They should also add gridlock so it's more realistic
  21. Is it just me... or is this wrong?

    Since recently apperently. Now every bumb fuck can disarm a bomb (and live).
  22. GTA IV trailer

    Sigh I wonder when Halo in Disneyland will be released
  23. GTA IV trailer

    Nothing special, just a reference to something else in the GTAverse, they did the same in the previous 3 games.
  24. GTA IV trailer

    Legenda: LS: Liberty City VC: Vice City SA: San Andreas GTA1: LS, VC, SA + London in expansion packs GTA2: Fifth Element's LS?? GTA3: LS Vice City: VC San Andrea: SA If it's a formula then they started it with GTA3. Why couldn't they simply add a new city for GTA4. Vimes: GTA3 wasn't GTA lie, body fat wasn't pre-SA GTA like, etc. Having more than one way to complete a task could be nice. So instead of helping OG Loc you turn on him.
