Try running Day of Defeat: Source and keeping the framerate above 60 FPS with a standard video card and a decent processor.
You can't. You can turn off HDR, dynamic lighting, bumpmapping. You can turn your resolution down to 800x600 and shut texture quality down to minimum. It doesn't matter what you do. With an average setup the framerate will constantly drop to 30 FPS, maybe even hitting 25.
The same goes for most newer games. Quake 4 is a good example.
I hope they do a better job than the PC port; even with the framerate increased the models still animated at 30 FPS. This made them very unnatural looking.
The PVE is awful. You just zerg from one group of enemies to the next. It's tedius, and not particularily difficult either. Unfortunately you have to go through the awful PVE to unlock abilities, which is simply not worth the effort.
I regret purchasing the game. I put less than ten hours into it before uninstalling.
The past week or so I've been learning PHP and SQL (web tutorials of course, why the fuck would I buy a book on it), and working on my site (which is hosted on my PC, using apache).
Here I thought I've been actually learning something, and growing an appriciation for web developers (and developers in general), but according to you, I'm just a kiddie? Fuck you. It's people like you who drive away "normal" people from actually being interested in things like this. As for mySQL, yes I used it because it was a)free and b)HOLY SHIT BATMAN, easy to use. I may have problems with it sometimes in the way it does things, but for most people, it works.
It's just about as easy to set up, and PostgreSQL is even more free.
PHP is a pretty poor choice too. You may find that Ruby on Rails or Perl + Mason are better.
You spend months grinding to 60 - getting ganked every half hour to hour if you are on a PVP server - then you spend hundred upon hundreds of hours grinding MC over and over again for your equipment - with *minimum* six hour sittings, which is simply not healthy - , then you grind battlegrounds for hundreds of more hours until you get the top tier equipment from that. None of this is fun.
The quests are simple go-fetch or go-kill faire and are no better than grinding; they are not fun to do. The professions are nothing more than yet another grind - both obtaining gold for components and leveling them up.
The entire game is spent building up your character - and for what? All making your character stronger does is help you get equipment that lets you grind for even better stuff.
If somebody needs to see it, then they have no place in college.
Honestly, the stuff is dead easy. If an individual finds himself constantly requiring guidance for such simply subject matter, then he is an idiot. No two ways about it.
Colleges are already flooded with enough idiots as it is. Let the truly intelligent make good use of them, and have the simpletons find employment more fitting to their own level intelligence.
Childhood is no excuse - he fully understood the damage he was doing.
The violence involved in crimes has nothing to do with how damaging they are to society. The only time violence should come into play is when questioning the sanity of the perp.
He deserves anything he has coming. I personally hope he gets painfully murdered for being such a little prick.

Learn what you need yourself.
There is an incredible wealth of IT information on the web.
No, they aren't. Not entirely.
DoD:S has only been out of a short while, and already a number of custom maps are available.
There are always going to be nutcases out there. It's best to just disregard them.
30 FPS is visibly choppy. Cinemas / TVs have motion blur to help sort this out, but it is still choppy.
There is a visible change from 60 FPS to 85 FPS too.
A PC game running at 30 FPS is unplayable. There are no two ways about it.
That's not an option with newer games.

It may actually be playable this time around.

You don't have to actively seek a link at all. I can link to you, and there's nothing you can do to prevent that.
The vast, vast majority of sites indexed by Google were never submitted manually. They were merely linked to.
Except that games would suffer.
It does. Any minute now a grammar Nazi will be along to correct you.
The problem is there is no challenge in getting the stuff. Nothing more than constant grinding is involved.
That's the problem with just about all MMORPGs - they are just multiplayer uptime.
"is always"... I'm sorry =(
There is no absolute velocity.
Try Day of Defeat for recoil.
As far as accuracy reduced while moving, just about every semi-realistic FPS does that.

I'd be more worried about having Goatse burned into my face.
Try explaining that at a job interview.
No, it doesn't.
I've played it.

Why does it need a use?
It's interesting in its own right, even if it doesn't lead to anything pragmatic.
He certainly deserves it for providing such a nice comparison.

To be frank, a student that needs to be taught algebra shouldn't be going to college anyways.
The textbooks have everything a student needs to learn algebra on his own.
Are you blind?
