It's funny. When they announced the Xcom shooter, one of the genius suits at 2K made this comment:
"Turn-based strategy games were no longer the hottest thing on planet Earth," Hartmann said. "But this is not just a commercial thing - strategy games are just not contemporary."
Funny how Xcom Enemy Unknown has been number one on the Steam top seller's list for nearly a week now, beating out shooters Borderlands 2, and Uncharted.
I guess gamers like strategy games after all. I'll bet that guy got his job just because he has an MBA. I doubt someone that would make a comment like that has ever even played games. |

| I've been using KDE 4.8 for a little over a month now on my Slackware machine, and it has really grown in to a great desktop. Sometime this weekend I'll have to take the plunge and install 4.9. |

Too much time and effort, for very little real world payoff.
MMOs defined.
Hobbies defined...
I disagree of course... I think entertainment/joy/pleasure/etc are a good real world payoff : ) Otherwise, all anyone could ever justify using their time on, is exercise : )

Don't take me out of context. I'm speaking through the lens someone who led a raiding guild that raided 5 days a week for years. Managing the roster, keeping track of loot, keeping egos in check, etc, gets to be more like a job than a hobby.
It's a job you don't get paid for, and are rarely thanked for. I'm all for having hobbies, and I still play games constantly. I'll just never run a large raiding guild again. |

| Really looking forward to this, and I hope it doesn't disappoint. I also pre-ordered. Then I managed to trade off my extra copy of Civ 5 for Natural Selection II pre-order, so this will be a great gaming month. |

If people are still having fun with it, then good for them.
Personally I raided for 3 years, and led a raiding guild for 1.5 of those years. I've had enough of MMOs, no matter what they are. For me I'm glad to be out of the scene. Too much time and effort, for very little real world payoff. |

Point of irony: Diablo 3 sold as well as it did, on the back of Diablo 2, which had a proper single player mode.
I predict any expansion for Diablo 3 will not come close to the original sales for the game. Blizz got fat and lazy, and I don't think they realize how much damage Diablo 3 did to them.

It's even funnier that it only supports Ubuntu 12.04+ imo. Other distros are probably not amused 
It's sensible for getting things running. They know exactly what libraries Ubuntu is using, and it gives them a target that isn't constantly moving. People on distros like Arch, which update every day, will make do, they like tinkering with things.
I know one of the main contributors to Slackware has said he'll make sure Steam runs on Slackware. I think reasonable people see the logic in how Valve are doing this. |

Ok, here we go:
Install Shock 2 from cd.
Patch to latest version (2.3).
Extract new_dark.zip and contrib.zip contents into main install folder (this overwrites shock2.exe).
Run shock2.exe
Optional: Read through cam_ext.cfg to see if you want to tweak anything. I recommend "d3d_disp_scaled_2d_overlay 640 480", as it makes the UI larger and easier to read from the MFD. Any of those changes you want to make go into cam.cfg file. (edit: Still monkeying around with the rez...it only seems to like 640 480?)
Extremely impressed. Works flawlessly on Win7 64, so far...there goes my weekend.
Thanks for the heads up on that config file... Holy shit this person really added a lot of new features! Simply amazing. |

| I wonder who in the hell made these. It had to have been someone that used to work at Looking Glass. I installed System Shock 2, and am quite stunned how how nice this patch is for it. 1920x1080, and it's playing great. I know what I'm doing this weekend. |
