Classic games like Pac-Man really don't ever end (unless you call score/level roll-overs or freezes "endings"). A timely Pac-Man remake with a proper ending might cut to his guest appearance on "The Biggest Loser".....not sure if that refers to the player who keeps going until the end...or...

Sometimes a low frame rate can cause this. Any idea what kind of frames-per-second your machine is getting with this game? If it's under 30 (most of the time), try lowering the video/audio settings (especially the resolution) until you get something workable, or upgrade the machine.
The same problem was an issue for early V/R games -- the frame rate and resolution was too low to provide sufficient feedback and "reality", so the brain just can't figure it out...and makes you sick.:)
Funny, those are the kind of messages I get from cheater wanna-bes -- when my current UT server leaves them at the curb.:)

Being able to run UT2K4 on more than just Windows is nice, but I suspect the non-Windows ports will be vulnerable to the same issues faced with UT (1999) -- incompatibility with certain mutators and "add-on" server packages...
...arguably the most important of which was "UTPure", an anti-cheat mechanism.
Does anyone know if that were a big issue with UT2K3?
You're forgetting, companies are now able to impose "tarriffs" of their own, controlling how expensive just about ANY import is, in almost ANY country.
We're moving towards (publically-admitted) company-controlled nations, day-by-day...if we're not already there
It would be interesting to construct such a device...what would the output look like, the moment construction was complete?
a) a still picture, probably garbage, since the fibers weren't focused at any one scene?
b) dark, since you are looking at a kind of a VHS-tape leader before the "show"?
c) The Twilight Zone!
I wonder what interference from adjacent strands would look like on the final output -- ghosts, for instance? Would you be able to look at the (impossibly) tight coil and see night/day bands moving through the system?
Or they can just save themselves the trouble of installing Windows all over again, on top of the Mac O/S, and just get the platform the *needed* in the first place -- an IBM PC-compatible!
(Honestly, that's the first time I've had the urge to write "IBM PC-compatible" in a few years!)
Actually, we did this quite by accident by lofting a small hi-intensity LED keylight attached to a large "toy" helium balloon -- near a resort area.
Little did we know that the crowd at the resort had been told that the ISS would be passing by, overhead, at that precise moment...hilarity ensued as people shouted, "the station's falling!" as we drew in the balloon...
If you're refering to RCA creating VHS, I think this is in error -- JVC was the creator of the VHS standard.

However, they DID develop the NTSC standard for color TV, which the FCC accepted after being hand-held into seeing how the CBS "compatible" standard for "color TV" with existing B&W tech would requre an internal 7-foot disk spinning at 360mph...so I guess they DID contribute to the VHS standard, indirectly.;-)

What you're describing might just be the best kind of fornication.

Haley's Hot House is still a UT hotspot. The game still makes it a bit easier on high-ping/modem users. Drop by, sometime!

Heck, a $99 price point worked out so well for I-Opener, right?
Uh, wrong.

No problemo. Just use a new transmission carrier -- tachyons!
