I would love to see a modern-engined Carmageddon reboot. Sure, the 3rd one(TDR) was horrible, focusing on the missions. The reason for that is that even the developers realized there wasn't much to this game. The enemy cars often got damaged and just randomly veered around. There was no sense of urgency except to kill peds to keep your timer from running out. Ergo, missions were put in(some I could not solve even with cheats).

It was just fun to drive around & do stunts, mixed in with car combat & running peds down. Veered into sandbox-style games. It was a zen game. Let's see this redone with a modern game engine, perhaps with destructible environments and such.

Probably nobody else is going to agree with me, but I had to mix it up a bit.

Well, son we used to have these things called CueCats....

I kept the printer. I just got rid of the annoying software around it. Kept the driver. It was just an updater program.

If you have software updates every 5-6 days in the name of "security patches", you probably should hire better developers. I remember some stupid HP updater utility that got tacked on some printer drivers needed an update in the name of security. I decided to one-up the software by removing it entirely, thus preventing any future security issues with that product.

I tried 2 different optical drives(one DVD, one CDR) on my dad's system to narrow out that possibility, and it still failed. Switched the IDE cable. I ran the virtual machine on my work laptop(thus a totally diff drive).

I go and reinstall windows on my dad's machine. I use an nLited burnt CD I made(HP made CD) and it won't even boot. Tried a linux recovery CD(same maker of CD), would not boot. Somehow, out of the 6 tries I was able to get the XP install CD to boot. It did. Failed about halfway, asking for the file "ASMS", which didn't exist(but a folder did).

So, bad Cd? I fire up a virtual machine, and install XP in the machine and it works flawlessly.

I go back to my dad's machine & eventually try my legit store-bought XP install CD, and it continued to install. I burn a CD of my dad's backed up data(again, an HP cd), and it reads just fine on my machine I burned it from, won't read at all on my dad's system.

Wow, I'm lucky.

And just what do they have for assets? It is just a bunch of torrent links, not the actual content.

Remember when computers didn't have monthly data plans? I would rather save $ and just mooch off free wi-fi.

Agreed. I'm sick of these articles saying that the almighty iPhone is going to make this/that dedicated device obsolete. Here's the big catch: the cellular subscription you have to pay EACH MONTH. Not everyone has unlimited funds for such toys, whether it's monthly or a 1-time cost. The one thing the iPhone isn't going to render obsolete: $40/month in your wallet.

Heck, I would be happy with the Saint's flip-open keyboard Nokia phone from 13 years ago. To me that's still slick.

...who control barter town?

Yes, it's almost spot-on like the video from the IT crowd, yet it's from the same creators of DCTF. You are shown police state tactics with a scene that reminds me of Brazil.

We have come a long way, America.

..is when you go to a site, and visually, everything appears to be fine. Everything looks loaded up wonderfully, and you can use it as you please. However, firefox on its tab still perpetually says "Loading.....". I know it's ad-related. I just hit Stop and go along my way. Myspace is one of the worst offenders. guess they need more bandwidth to http://ads-featuring-gangsta-rappers.myspace.com./

I'm sure in 20 years we'll find German plans to make ray guns, giant mech fighers, etc. Castle Wolfenstein game plots seems less & less like fiction as the years go on. :)

Is that what they are calling armchair journalists these days?

You want to know what's worse? I've downloaded apps straight off the website, and the instant I run it, it tells me there's another update available. Apparently the website(vendor site, not download.com, etc) can't be bothered to get the latest release, or they released it in patch-only.
