Holy shit... "Christ Centered Gamer". Really? I scanned the article just to see what the hell some religious nut would say about Blood Dragon and it's about what you'd expect:

"The morality issues keep me from recommending this game to others."

I would love to read their review of Quake 1.

Also, the reviewer is "Blue" -- is that this site's owner?

I read the review. He really spends very little time talking about religious/moral issues compared to some other games he's reviewed, though his "morality score" is accurate. I think he may spend less time thinking about moral issues when he has fun playing the game.

Oh shit they dropped support for my wife's 4850. 12.4b are the latest drivers that will install on her rig.
What about 4870?

erm, well, now that you mention it I googled it and:

I don't know if blue has mentioned this legacy ATI driver yet.

Kuru - a neurodegenerative disease found among people from New Guinea who practiced a form of cannibalism in which they ate the brains of dead people as part of a funeral ritual. This practice stopped in 1960, but cases of kuru were reported for many years afterward because the disease has a long incubation period. The signs of kuru include paralysis, blindness and madness, and it is always terminal.

News Comments > New AMD/ATI Catalyst Beta - Monthly Driver Releases Ending
2. Re: New AMD/ATI Catalyst Beta - Monthly Driver Releases Ending May 31, 2012, 21:19 skyguy
 
I disagree. The monthly drivers delivered no performance improvements for anything I play. Older (sometimes much older) beta drivers had better performance than whatever the latest stable monthly was. Give them more time to make some real improvements in the drivers, rather than minor fixes here an there every month.

I'm terrible about this. Frankly I don't give a crap about the environmental effect of my 4 PC's left running all night in my computer room (if the ecosystem lives or dies on whether or not I shut my computers down at night then it's already doomed), but I am killing my electric bill for sure. I can't get my kids to turn theirs off before bed no matter how many times I ask, and when I'm working I sometimes don't even go in there for days at a time. They're those high end gamer cases too that are lit up like Xmas trees and loaded with case fans. My electric company sends me a nice Xmas card every year though..

Any modern PC has the ability to suspend to RAM or hibernate. You should configure windows to STR or hibernate after an hour or two without use.

UI looks busy and lame. I'd expect this from an early 2000s era game ut not in a modern title.

lol -- the interface is nearly identical to the Civ 5 interface. Biggest difference is that Warlock's performance doesn't suck!

Parallax Abstraction wrote on May 8, 2012, 15:21:
Feels like Civ meets Master of Magic.

Warlock is clearly a Fall from Heaven 2 clone. No one here ever played Fall from Heaven 2?

5 again added more features but the same annoying bugs return among new ones. It was and is shackled with always on DRM (the launcher has been patched and it no longer works in offline mode). Ubisoft dropped support after one patch (or was it 2? certainly no more than that). Mods make it.

But SH5 doesn't have any megamods like SH3 and SH4 do. What mods do you use to "make" SH5?

I'd like to get Silent Hunter 5 if they have a good sale on it before it's done. I know initial reviews were poor becaue it was seriousl unfinished but I'm wondering if anyone who is playing it can state what shape it's in now after a few patches.

It's in pretty bad shape even after the patches, though ubisoft finally added an "offline mode" option:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=189245

I'm a huge silent hunter fan and I do fire the game up with a few mods every once in a while, but unfortunately SH5 is the lowest quality game out of any of them. In addition to being in worse shape after patching than the previous games, the mod community doesn't seem to have fixed things up as well as they had the previous games.

Hi Blue, I clicked on a link on the bluesnews frontpage, and got malware. I think I accidentally clicked on an ad, but I'm not sure. I'm sorry I'm not sure what I clicked on, I know this is only minimally helpful. Here's a screenshot of my desktop after clicking whatever I clicked on in IE:

I really want this game but $40 is a lot when all these sales are happening. No demo is a big mistake as I want to know if my computer can run it. Guess I have to get it through other means.

Why won't you wait for a review, demo, or price drop?

Why so big? Is this a new driver or an upgrade?

1) it's a full driver, and 2) the beta versions of the ATI drivers include both 64-bit and 32-bit drivers, which is why they're larger than the release drivers.

Why beta drivers are packaged differently than release drivers, I have no idea.
