  1. Re:It's OK, but... on Fancy Yourself a Tycoon? OpenTTD 1.4.0 On Its Way · · Score: 1

    Not much fun when i'm forced to hear it through Microsoft Synthesizer (22khz no reverb ew) instead of the default midi device of my choice (currently this sweet OPL3 emulating driver)

  2. Well Rydia... on Ask Slashdot: Life After N900? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Does your N900 cast Fire or summon Odin?

  3. Re:Unix command line in Tron Legacy on A Short History of Computers In the Movies · · Score: 1

    I prefer the "Unix system" in Jurassic Park :P

  4. Mobygames on Ask Slashdot: Why Do Mobile Versions of Websites Suck? · · Score: 1

    When Gamefly acquired Mobygames they changed the site "for mobile devices", and breaking all the vital functionality in the process while keeping things behind AJAX-powered loading swirls.

    Thank god Reed bought the site off them and reverted things back before things got worse..

  5. Re:graphics on Doom Is Twenty Years Old · · Score: 1

    The ISA bus is the prime limiter. VLB was only a luxury and PCI only belonged to those spoiled rich Pentiumgrillhaving assholes....

  6. Re:Problems recreating the original audio experien on Doom Is Twenty Years Old · · Score: 1

    You never ran SETUP.EXE did you? Pick Sound Blaster for music. Also some source ports such as Chocolate Doom have OPL emulation. It even has PC speaker emulation if you have the fetish for the ol' beeper.

  7. Re:The blue tits of death. on Microsoft's New Smart Bra Could Stop You From Over Eating · · Score: 1

    Nothing wrong with that....

  8. Re:Ranting against Arial is just insane... on Sex Offender Gets New Hearing After Hearing Officer Rants Against Arial Font · · Score: 1

    if it were one of those aliens in Gazillionaire.... maybe.

  9. Re:The end of an era. on John Carmack Leaves id Software · · Score: 1

    indeed, send them all down to the catacomb abyss.

  10. Re:Doom 4 on John Carmack Leaves id Software · · Score: 1

    SiN?

  11. Re:Visualisations! on Winamp Shutting Down On December 20 · · Score: 1

    I got over the visualization novelty quickly with Geiss some 15 years ago.

  12. Re:FB2K FTW on Winamp Shutting Down On December 20 · · Score: 2

    I use MPC-HC for instantly previewing (including WAV and MIDI files), replacing the overly bloated Windows Media Player for that role. It's no playlist player, but that's what I use Foobar2000 for. I used to have plugin cold turkey on the Winamp->FB2k transition, until I realized the plugins are foo_gep and foo_dumb - not immediately as noticable as in_mod and in_spc/nsf/vgm/etc

  13. Re:FB2K FTW on Winamp Shutting Down On December 20 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    VLC's terrible for music. Ever noticed the pitch bending? Bad playlist controls? Long initialization times? Lack of seamless transition?

  14. Hmm on 2-D MMOG Glitch Released Completely Into the Public Domain · · Score: 3, Informative

    I wondered why that was there!

  15. Lemming-Style... on How Snapchat Could March Startups Right Off the Cliff, Lemming-Style · · Score: 4, Funny

    You mean like programmed by a bunch of Scots and saturated ports of other platforms taking the world by storm eventually being bought up by a larger entity to rot on with half-assed iterations through third-party developers?

  16. Re:Oh my... on Smithsonian Releases 3D Models of Artifacts · · Score: 1
  17. Re:As a side note about Steam... on Humble Bundle Launches Online Store For Games · · Score: 1

    Can confirm Steam starting up in 9 seconds here. Go prefetch!

  18. Console DRM? on Why Project Flare Might Just End the Console War · · Score: 5, Funny

    Imagine your game not starting because the 'physics' servers are down or you can't connect to them.....

  19. Of course it can be stopped on Twitter's Fake Followers Watching IPO Closely · · Score: 1

    Lock your tweets

  20. I know on Self-Published Zombie Titles Have Doubled Since 2012 · · Score: 1

    Right?
    Something ironic about using the zombie concept used to exploit consumers as if they were zombies...

  21. Re:Unfortunately... on Firefox 25 Arrives With Web Audio API Support, Guest Browsing On Android · · Score: 1

    So it's next-gen embedded MIDIs. Netscape always needed plugins for that (Crescendo! etc.)

  22. Re:ATI vs Nvidia on AMD's Radeon R9 290X Review · · Score: 1

    But then how are you going to have "compositing"? Years ago the fad of useless window effects were part of Linux's desktop preach.

  23. Re:ATI drivers on AMD's Radeon R9 290X Review · · Score: 1

    241mb for the latest beta driver.

  24. Re:multiplayer id Tech 4? on The Dark Mod 2.0 Standalone: Id Tech 4 GPL Yields a Free Thief-a-Like Game · · Score: 1

    A lot of it has to do with how bare the Doom3 GPL code package was. You didn't get scripts or anything related to gameplay of Doom3 (unlike past source releases which included code for the game). It's as bare and only good for improving Doom3 itself or making a completely new game.

  25. Re:In English on NVIDIA's G-Sync Is VSync Designed For LCDs (not CRTs) · · Score: 4, Funny

    It seems strange that they didn't call it nSync....
