But the guy is using a PS2 and so, I assume, can't rebind the movements. And using the Right controller and left buttons seems a pretty poor solution. I mean, for starters, you have to have the two-player controller (50USD more expensive), and then that eliminates the possibility of having a two-player game.
Tell me about it. I work for a company that manufactures some of these diagnostics machines and puts them into hospitals. The OS is NT4, the users log in as user account with local admin rights, and more often than not install their own software. Oh yeah, and we don't install any anti-virus software for them. These things even have CD burners attached, and it's not uncommon to find the PC attached to the diagnotic equipment being used to copy music cds. It's a shocker, but true all the same.
Dude, were thay those IBM "Death" Star drives, with the glass plattens?
I've had about 50% failure rate on those models on laptops, and have heard equally bad things about the desktop models. Never gonna buy an IBM drive again.
It's all well and good pointing out the problems, but what about suggesting solutions?
Just because we have an abundance of foood, doesn't mean you have to eat it all. I live western europe where there's more than enough food to eat, but I'm sensible enough to eat what I need to survive through the day without piling on the pounds.
I could buy a car, and drive to the shop 200m down the road, but I'm sensible enough to walk.
It just requires a little bit of self-discipline to use the resources you require, rather than consuming all that the marketing-droids tell you to consume.
Sysadmin day? Fine. I think that's great. But how about a day for all us helpdesk monkeys? We're the grunts on the front line, dealing with all the crap from the users. Sysadmins are all safe in their bunkers, protected from the raw savagery that is support.
The booze hits very hard, very fast Man, I thought that was totally the desired effect! Love that stuff, but I agree that after a couple, the Redbull taste is kind of, how shall I say, sickly. Completely masks the alcohol though!
Start to apply this to real life and then you can get a system to predict when you get hit by a bus. I think these guys have just invented some kind of a deathclock!
Hey man, is there some way to decode your.sig using a browser address bar? I thought I read somewhere that IE could convert Hex or Binary to regular text and display it in the browser window.
Any ideas how, or am I just going mad?
Iagreewiththispost. Recently, I downloaded a Spectrum emulator with the 720 rom. I remember playing that in the arcade when it first came out, and distinctly remember being amazed to see it on the ZXSpectrum. Well, I can honestly say that within less than 5 minutes, I'd deleted it off my machine. I couldn't believe how crappy the game was, compared to today's standards. Yeah, I know it was only loaded into 48k, but I guess my memories had upgraded themselves and given the game better sound and graphics. Some things should stay in the past I guess. Don't get me wrong, it was great to see the game again. It just seems to have lost a bit of its magic, when played back-to-back with, say, Tony Hawks. ...whereas Combat, that game is just classic. I think the whole appeal is the multiplayer aspect. Who cares about graphics, when you're head-to-head with the scores flashing and you need one more kill, on invisible tank pong!
What would rock would be a 60foot radioactive Jet-Li fighting Norcula! Now that I wanna see;) No sure who would win. Guess it would depend whether it was in the sea or on land, but it sure would be a close fight.
Man, while reading the 'Stuck' story, I thought "Man, I remember a similar section of Half-Life which I couldn't get past". But this guy doesn't seem to get the point.
He was stuck at a part of the game where he obviously needed more ammo. How hard was that to work out? He said it himself - he couldn't kill all the aliens.
Thing is, it seems like it took him an age to work it out. He'd just saved his game too far down the line.
Best solution - start from an earlier save. If the game only supports one save, then you're gutted, but you've just gotta start the game again from the beginning. He was only like 7.5 hours into the game, so where's the problem?
I bet everyone out there has a story where they were stuck on a particular part of a game, took a step back, re-did an earlier bit better than the first time, and cleared their problem.
If games didn't have tricky situations where you had to retrace your steps, they would all suck, and you'd complete everything on your first attempt.

Snake Plissken? I heard he was dead.
At least I'm not a chicken

Re-read your quote. I think the intention is that the target audience is the category 3 people.
I guess he missed a , in there.

Read the article you refer to man:
"The image doesn't appear in an MP3 file of the song; the compression algorithm destroys the image."
Note to self: must remember to check my facts.
You got me there! 10 points to you.
I can't think of anything more boring than a film like this!

A REALLY big bag of weed! That's always a treat.
So who the hell is going to play the Obi Wan? A CG Alec Guiness? An 'aged' McGregor? I don't know which would be worse!!
Whore of bloody hell!
get in in ya!

You mean like this? Don't think you're EVER gonna find a "wider subject area" than this one...
