One thing I can't stand are people who pirate Quake3. I sincerely support ID Software and would never warez off a game like Quake3. In fact just a few mins ago in the #litestep channel on EFnet, I left because I had a conversation with someone who warezed off Quake3. I asked him why he did that. He told me he wanted to see what the game was like, and he said it sucked. He then made a remark that sounded as if he leeched his warez copy to his friends.
This sort of thing down right pisses me off. People who think a game sucks, so they give it away to more people. Now they have a copy of the game, and the developers who work hard lose money because of this.
A friend of mine at school warezed off a copy of Quake3. SO you know what I did? I bought him a copy of Quake3a. Isn't that nice of me?
Today a friend and I went to CompUSA. We were looking around at games and stuff. I pointed out Daikatana on the shelf for $40. He picked up the box and showed me the screen shots on the back. He said to me;
"Look! It's Quake2!"
So instead I bought Unreal Tournament. Now that I got that and Quake3, I feel someone more completed to be a newsposter on 3d-shooters.com
google.com seems to be getting more and more features. I remember when i was just like "Enter Search" and you'd get your fast as hell results. Then catagories showed up, then multi languages showed up. I just hope google.com doesn't turn into yahoo.com with Yahoo! Games, Yahoo! ISP, Yahoo! Credit cards. I really like google.com and I'd hate to see it become a big bloated site with banner ads and such.

Everytime I stop a download on Gnutella, Windows blue screens. As much as I'd like to just say "Oh Windows is just being a POS as usual." I have to blame gnutella. Oh well, it is still in it's early formation. It will get better once it reaches 1.0 and goes open source. I'm curious to know if anyone else is having that same blue screen episode.
It is my opinion that I do not believe the X-Box will have the ability to change operating systems or even buy another console with any *nix installed on it. Since this is a product of Microsoft, you can very well expect it to be secure in the sense of modifying a thing such as the console operating system. I mean, can you even change the OS of those little hand held computers that have Windows CE installed? Hrmm, those hand held computers aren't made by Microsoft (I think) but even so I don't believe you can change the OS. So I wouldn't expect the immediate ability to do so with the X-Box.
That's just my opinion, If I had more facts on the console OS, I'd... well, you wouldn't need me. You would figure that stuff out before I could:)
First off, I just wanted to say that making a CHS q3a level is stupid and sick. More importantly, you didn't need the q3a SDK to make that. Q3Radient does maps, and you sure could make a high school with q3radient...
Hey, I do stuff for 3d Shooters and we mirrored the game source here. Our main site will open up today or tommorow. Sorry for this bad spamming of our site, but at least you get a mirror:)
Nerds and Geeks, drawing cartoons of tech support situations is funny in my opinion. Most of use computer nerds have a great knowledge of operating systems, and know what it's like to deal with someone who knows little about what they're doing computer-wise.
When the average Joe/Joanne calls up tech support with problems that are so basically fix-able (Yeah, I suck at coming up with big intelligent words) and we know how to fix these things in 2 nanoseconds, that isn't really funny.
What makes in funny in the cartoon world is the repeating process of basic problems. We see this in Userfriendly constantly. The way that character handles the problems by telling the Joe/Joanne to reformat thir hard drive or claim the world has gone completely stupid IS funny. Sure it's malicious in the real world, but this is cartoons. If a real tech support person told someone to reformat their hard drive (without it be nessescary), they would get fired quickly. I don't even see what would make the tech support end up telling a Joe/Joanne to do such a thing.
True, but I don't look as my parents as the only providers. I do simple tasks for my neighbors, IE mowing the lawn, shoveling their walkways. It doesn't pay a specified ammount. Last year I had a summer job at Burger King, but it's not worth spending more than a summer there.
You blame Americans just because of me. That is a very stupid and unthought comment, Anonymous Coward. There are lots of people my age, and younger, who do have a job and support themselves. Did I also mention they are Americans? Good god, it's good you posted that comment as an AC. Anyone who has the guts to post a comment flaming Americans as an AC is a true coward.
I rarely leave the house myself. I feel as if I could go an entire year. Then again i'm only 17. I have no job, and my parents buy me all my food and clothing. So it would be easier for me I guess.

The game is called Carmageddon. The movie about the end of the world due to meteors was Armageddon. Although the end of the world is called The Apocalypse. Armageddon is the war to end all wars.

As far as I know...
3dfx video cards do Glide, and the GeForce2 doesn't have support for that API.
Remember that is as far as I know, so I could be wrong. I'd rather have a video card that supports the API of a game I may wanna play down the road.
Wrong.
It uses an external power supply. Not an HD connector. You plug this bad mofo into the wall.
