Hello /.

Late comment not sure anyone will see but oh well here we go.....

I am in the group of 10% that does not see 3d the way the rest of you do. My eyes are of different strengths leading to having one very dominate eye and one lazy one (not wonky it looks like a normal eye). This results me really only seeing One image when I watch the film instead of my brain trying to use the 2 images to create depth. So when everyone in a 3d film is going being amazed by the images jumping out I just see one flat image with some discoloured overlay image that looks out of place because I am only seeing it from one side. At present i have been to 3-4 3d films and wont be going to any more, even watching the film the way i do it still gives me a headache after 30 or so minutes, the crappy picture overlay which everyone else uses to create depth just looks bad and the whole experiences i feel is rather pointless.

So where am i going with this? 3D is a nice concept however currently I personally have not experienced it like 90% of people have, not that this is a bad thing but for someone that has been playing games since he was 5? owned most consoles (I am a PC gamer) there is a slight worry now that the market is going in a direction that I can not follow. I am hoping that it is an option that can be disabled and you can still play games 'the old fashion way' (anyone know if 3d on the 3DS can be disabled?)

Thanks for the link,

Your link is someone building a render engine for Duke to Run Natively which is nice but a lot of work. Buying the Game from the website GOG installs it with DOSBOX behind, so you are playing the original game via DoxBox (http://www.dosbox.com/) so no need to update, and DosBox is pretty undemanding on system resources. Secondly Tunngle The VPN client is useful for more than Just Duke3d, Been playing Red Alert (original) and C&CRA2 as well. Basically Tunngle allows network games for older games, thinking about it I wonder if dungeon keeper works.

Well I am big Duke Fan, to the point that once we heard it was finally coming out a friend and I got Duke3D working over WAN which I will share today. Firstly pick up a copy of Duke 3D Atomic Edition (i like this website http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/duke_nukem_3d_atomic_edition) I think the game is in open licensing but not 100% sure. Then download Tunngle from http://www.tunngle.net/ which is a WAN VPN thingy that allows you to play Local network games over the interweb. Install, Start Tunngle, Full screen Duke select network game and you now have multiplayer Duke3D in 2011 (if the game lags its because your internet connection has a high ping time) Side note I hope they keep capture the babe in the new game, could be fun but something tells me it is going to get patched :/ Luke

I understand where you are coming from

However what is being missed here completely by all this drama is that Sarah Palin had government related emails in her personal mail box. Now under US law this is highly illegal as all government related emails must pass via the public system so that it can be monitored.

This guy broke in to her email, found emails relating to her work which by law should not have been there and suddenly there is a massive circus and he goes to prison. This is just another case of the government using a scape goat to hide the fact that a government official was doing something they should not.

Also he did not HACK it, that would imply some skill, he simply answered the secret question and got the password reset. His fail was that he used a Proxy that was known to give up private details if requested by the government.

Now finally in closing, I agree he did something wrong, however if this had been done to a normal person no one would have cared. The reason for the media circus was/is to take the light off the fact that Sarah is talking to other government members via private email so that it stays off the audit trail.

Hello and htank you for your informative post

This is very much correct, with a 4gb Xbox elite you can not play co-op as it requires a real hard drive and flash dont count. To add insult to this problem MS are not selling the hard drives for the elite as stand alone, meaning new console.

Well thats untill i found a video, (which i can not locate so i will decribe)

The old Xbox 360 hard drives have the same connector (on the phyical drive) so if you can get the hard drive out the shell (cut my hands lots without the correct keys but possbile) you can simply slot it in to the new elite. Fits well with a little force, and does not break or void warrenty on the new console only the old hard drive. I now have an elite with a 20gb storage which is easily enough for Co-op

Hope this helps /b/rothers

This will always be a problem with instant communication,

However, I have NEVER let my mobile phone dictate my social interaction, for example if my phone goes when my friends and I are chatting I DO NOT ANSWER IT, they see this action and if they then call me and I dont pick up the assume I am currently busy. This dynamic has taken rather a lot to work in to my every day life since most people expect instant reply but its now understood that if it is important leave a VM or text message and I will get back to you when I can.

This also works with Email, Best practice is to only look at your mail once every hour instead of always letting it run how your day goes.

Take control people and stop letting technology and the people around you decide what you do and when :/

MMOs have become misguided by the quick-fix masses

The above post I completely agree with, why do us westerners want to get to the top level and be the best within a week of the game coming out. I play alot of MMOs and the reason I play is generally the journey, the story, the random walking about wasting time, talking to people. Yet all the big MMOs in the last few years are trying to make all levels in the game but the top most unrewarding. Everyone rushes, THEN everyone complains when they get to the top levels and there is no content? (STO I am looking at you!)

The reason I like EvE-Online, is there is no Grind, Yes the skill training is a bit of a time sinking BUT no grind, no predefined idea of best which I think allows people to be more creative with their end game.

I believe one of the biggest appeals of MMOs is to stand up and be noticed, with sharded servers with caped populations, top level gear (epics) and level cap, everyone in the game has the same goal as everyone else, make MMOs more expressive for the characters themselfs and then people would be less likely to grind. SWG had it down pretty well with a great crafting system that then expanded in to whole cities.

Today is a day, First chrome not hiding you correctly and now all your visited pages are being displayed via ccs:hover. The problem is as we get more "user-friendly" we take short cuts and become lazy, my personal approach to this is to have my most visit websites in my Fav's list and set Firefox Chrome and IE to different roles. For example I use firefox for work (logmein), IE is there for the bad websites that still dont load correctly in other browsers and Chrome for general browsing (threaded tabs for the win!!) All are set to delete all history when they are closed, this does get annoying to have to log in to everything all the time however I know all my passwords off by heart, never have to write them down because I am always using them and can get to all my websites via favs. Leaving your history and cookies is just lazy and my understanding is that if you delete this data you dont have these problems. Also sidenote, could i publish an add via google with CSS hover to harvest this information? not sure what i would do with it but I am sure you could get a lot of information this way.

I don't think this is a worry, I know it is a sin to sell ones soul however to sell a soul I am pretty sure that you need to be fully aware and want to "sell" your soul (since the God type is more worried about you straying from their path hence the whole clause). I doubt god(s) (depending on your play style) will really count some earth bound virtual text as a solid agreement for your soul. Also if that is not the case then game station is currently holding a lot of sin, maybe they will be the new Saviour? Like Jesus who died for our sins, game station just steals the soul which has the sin's attached, nice hack but I am sure it will be patched
