> All the stuff that would have put it on par with KotOR...

They would have to remove half the game then, as KotOR2 was at least twice as good as the boring original.

I find it a rather bad idea for a review to extensively detail and dwell on a game's ending, and to even mainly base your opinion of the game purely on that.
I personally found kotor2 to be lightyears better than its predecessor but that's irrelevant from the fact that no game review should spoil the ending however bad you might feel it is.

so umm does my login still work?

it's a relief that my old daily routine should return to normal now.
blue's were as good as dead without the RSS feed working.

and it definitely seemed longer than 7 weeks.

The "Deceased woman named in file-sharing suit" article is also on a registration required site.

The placing of the power button is probably not much of a problem because Macs are excellent at the sleep function. You rarely restart one, instead you just put it to sleep and wake it up later on. And you can wake it up by the keyboard or mouse.

This patch was released to address the following issues:

* Improvements to lobby mouse control
* Online fix for issues regarding Windows XP Firewall preventing correct Ping functionality


They do list the changes on their website...

The "Microsoft poised to build Bluetooth support into Windows" article was published on "Wednesday 10th November 1999." What's going on here? Is it April Fools today?

Incidentally, Windows XP Service Pack 2 included Bluetooth support.

Why would Bart Simpson be proud of the latest Netsky worm?

This patch is taking longer for them to create than it took to make the whole game.

Isn't this the second Morning Tech Bits today?

So could this demo be of any interest to someone who has already played and finished the full game?

There's no need to remove it. Just install SP2 final on top of it.

The huge ad beneath OotB just says "Sorry - We at Showtime Online express our apologies; however, these pages are intended for access only from within the United States."

That's some efficient use of advertising money.

Doom3 runs respectably on my P4 3ghz 2gb ram + radeon 9800xt with 3.7 cats. Nothing is forced on in the Control Panels, the game automatically set itself to High Quality + 800x600. I became worried then but bumping up the resolution to a more bearable 1152x864 made the game look OK and play well.

No issues I could see but then I'm not too far into the game yet, only played a couple of hours. All I have is the pistol and the shotgun so far.

I'm rather relieved doom3's no reason for an upgrade after all.

I also saw doom3 running, or better put, trying to run, on a radeon 9600 pro card and it was both ugly and chugging unplayable.

A bit disappointing that these beta drivers only improve the x800s though.

Sigh. I wonder how long until the "EA buys Crytek" announcement followed shortly thereafter with "EA dissolves its Crytek studio."

Say whatever you want about Ubisoft's abysmal after-release support, they did deliver a steady stream of excellent titles: Prince of Persia SoT, Beyond Good & Evil, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow and of course Far Cry.

The last EA game I liked somewhat was NFS Underground.

Hope Crytek likes making World War 2 shooters!

All right, since the patch didn't add quick save after all, shouldn't Blue edit the article? It's a bit misleading.

The new version kept my old bookmarks just fine.

Still, the game was awesome. Only game ever to come out of Germany that I've liked.

I keep it installed just as a graphics demonstration for my guests.

Black Davy Rackham, at your service.

Looks like everyone is a Rackham, except for Blue.
