  • What gamer are you?

    I just filled it out like I would have 8 years ago when I was playing counterstrike all day, every day, doing leagues and shit.. Kinda fun to see how much I've changed since then ;o

    Got The Terminator - Reckless Competitive Serious Veteran (RCSV).

    People grow up ;o

    Quote from JohnC

    I got Game Master, too.A few of the questons were just too out there, and could've at least had a neutral choice. I had to pick between a strategy guide and the friggin' Kama Sutra when the only thing I've ever had next to my toilet was an ashtray.

    I just didn't answer it. Worked fine :X

  • Compact camera

    What do I get by going for a canon ixus compared to say a nikon coolpix or a Fuji J/A or F series? They pretty much seem to have the same specs, but the price is a lot different. I can't quite see where the difference lies here.

  • Compact camera

    Well, I've been looking at the ixus, and it seems pretty decent.. If it gets more expensive than that, however, I think it's a bit out of my price range and purpose.

    I already have a Canon EOS D30. It's a rather old model by now but it's a pretty good camera.

    Thanks for your help anyway, I'll take a thorough look at it and try to figure out more about these models.

    ":9tq7qqml]yeah, most of the QL players are using either keel/bright or tank/bright forceplayer model!

    Of course Tank is easy to spot, easy to hit and he goes KLONK KLONK KLONK when he walks. Best deal ever

    ":1qeq8bns]madgernader, i know It's awesome, but have you read my post? I said It's a custom config! Obviously, the game doesn't look like that!Just like Defrag said, I use picmip 10!

    You just saved my day. I was worried you couldn't config quake live.. I have never in my life played Q3 with it's shiny graphics, since I focused only on speed and precision.. So yeah, simple icons, forced player models (hello tank) and r_picmip 5 (is usually enough). And then the rest of everything down as low as possible, and a railgun trail of white(was somewhat transparent) to reduce tracing risks ;o Those were the times.

  • What are my systemspec?

    Furthermore, while the web checker might provide inaccuracies, I have a hunch the thing where it claims you have 2 processors is because it's a pentium 4. They have hyperthreading, which on some tests will appear as 2 cpu's for some reason. What it actually means for your cpu is the possibility to utilize all (or most of) the cpu via multithreading. So instead of hogging all of it doing jobs that might only take part of its capacity, it's able to use the space available for something else. More or less. Basically it pretends to have two logical processors to the operating system (one physical), and is thus able to run two threads at once.

    This is really just a basic, rough rundown and shouldn't be treated as entirely accurate, but it should give you an idea. I think most if not all tests will show it as two processors, since it's usually treated as such on most operating systems.

    As for the rest.. Yeah, get a proper test.

  • Compact camera

    Hey everyone.

    So, I like taking pictures.. A lot. But not enough for me to justify actually bringing my DSLR wherever I go. It's just too bulky, and I often find myself in situations where I wouldn't really want to have anything that valuable on me (high hazard environments such as PARTIES with tremendous amounts of liquid flying through the room and a potential risk of getting so drunk you forget your belongings).

    However, I also often find myself in situations where I kinda wish I could just pop out a camera and take a picture of what might feel like a once-in-a-lifetime chance for a nice shot of something. One solution could be to drink responsibly and always carry my camera bag around for when I leave home (lol).

    Another solution could be to get a compact camera, but be that as it may, I have no clue whatsoever of the development in this area. I'd really love something cheap, as I'm a poor student, and it's just a backup cam, bust rest assured, I want it to be able to take decent pictures, and I'd like some functionality as well.

    For this, I'd like something that could potentially be used as a backup for landscapes, buildings, roadkill, hessi or whatever else comes my way, as well as being something I could bring to a party to take some pictures of random people. And I'd like it to actually fare pretty well.

    I don't know if price cancels out functionality, but I'm thinking there must have been some development lately, and the last cam I had of a compact size was about 1 MP.

    I heard something about the ixus being decent, but I'm checking out the market before just acquiring the first I come across. So, uh.. To sum it up:

    Jacket pocket-compact

    Cheap

    Functionalities (Iunno, shutter settings, iso speed, optical zoom?, red-eye removal, all that junk)

    Nice battery lifetime? I'd prefer a battery with a charger.

    Nice picture quality.

    Nice autofocus.. I'd hate to get a backup cam to finally take all these pictures only to realize the cam can't focus if it's life depended on it (and it will!).

    I don't know if I'm being too demanding, but I'm hoping for the first two points with a nice compromise for the rest. I realize I can't really expect a full dslr in compact form ;o

    Finally, the price limit.. I really don't know.. But I'd be happy to keep it around £100 +/- £20. If that is at all realistic.

    -Edit/Update-

    I've taken a look at the Nikon Coolpix s210, and was wondering if any of you have anything to say about it, good or bad. Anyway, I'm open to suggestions.

  • Warhammer 40k - Space Marine

    Wow, link finally worked. Looks pretty bad. And looks like all that "cinemaction" is going to get really, really tiring in the long run.. And a minigame mid combat? I'm not sure that'll hold up well.

    Didn't get much of a warhammer feel from it either...

    I hope he had a god mode enabled or something though. Or it'd be pretty easy. I mean, sure, the space marines are badass.. But not THAT badass :X

  • Warhammer 40k - Space Marine

    Quote from st0lve

    No team mates? No squads? Uhm, the spacemarines never travel alone, atleast unless they are commanders and such. I think the minimum amount is 4, and that is for specialist squads. Looked like they just took GoW and game it a 40K facelift...Hopefully they'll change, and give you options to pick squadmates (specialist weapons etc.) or maybe even terminators

    PS it's not the first fps of 40k, anyone remember that good old space hulk game? You had close combat weapons in that game too.

    Standard Space Marine squad sizes are 5 unit minimum. A sergeant and 4 marines

    Also, link no work

  • Google Chrome

    Uh, they plan to add support for plugins. This is still a beta. Also, all of it is open source, so I don't see why something of the like shouldn't become available.

    I've noticed a few more bugs while using it today. It's (obviously) unpolished.. But I think it looks really promising. As long as google keep their promises...
