Nevermind, probably not that much of a good idea anyway.

Games / I need to find a good racing game.
« on: September 29, 2008, 06:46:59 PM »
GRID and anything at its level of graphics is too much for my computer (until I get a 9800 for Christmas, if it even happens.).

I have Prostreet but I have to run it in 640x480, and even then the frame rate is anywhere between 2 and 35.

Almost anything nonsteam that people still play online I would like very much.

Off Topic / Fast food chain; a Chocolate rain parody.
« on: September 27, 2008, 10:29:38 PM »
Long story short, this guy sings his order in a drive-thru to the tune of Chocolate Rain.

I'm not really sure if many people have seen this or not, I assume not since it only has 1/5 of a million views.

Off Topic / I just unburied my old PDA.
« on: September 26, 2008, 06:39:45 PM »
I have no idea what you can do with these damn things. Which is why it was buried away somewhere. I found it and it looked cool, so I just decided to charge it up.

I have a Handspring Treo 90:




I'm not sure if you can browse the internet with it or not. It also uses Palm OS 4.1, until I decide whether or not to upgrade it.

Really tiny; It's running Damn Small Linux (DSL) which is about 50mb.

Games / PsOne games.
« on: September 10, 2008, 08:31:03 PM »
I have a PsOne that I bought for 50 bucks a couple years back, and since games are dirt cheap I was wondering what games there are that are worth playing for the Playstation.

Games / Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy
« on: September 01, 2008, 06:00:35 PM »
Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy


Yes, that is a crate being hurled into someone's face.

I only recently found out that this game is free, but there is only a mild catch; You have to watch a brief ad when you launch the game, and after you exit the game.

Some of you may remember this game, and even if you don't, you should give this a try.

Brief gameplay video.

Oh and, you will probably have a tough time throwing things with TK like I did. You have to lift the object with TK, release the TK button, and then quickly move the mouse in the direction you want said object to go.

Trainerin case you get fed up.: http://www.gamershell.com/download_10189.shtml (I haven't tested this.)

Troubleshooting:
-If you have laggy controls, you probably have an ATI video card like me, and you have to either shut down that ATI thing in the toolbar, or set the game's process to normal or anything below it.

-If you have Avast!, you will have problems with it. Specifically, it catches it as a false positive (It shows up as a virus but it really isn't.). Also a quote; "Fileplanet is offering Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy free but in order for it to be free it is ad supported.  Avast is detecting a sample of Win32:JunkPoly [Cryp] in the executable which is probably the ads.  When I googled this problem I found that apparently only avast is detecting this which leads me to believe that this might be a false positive.  I can run the game if I disable the standard shield which I don't mind but I thought this should be checked out anyway.  Thanks."  Add the game to the exclusions list or whatever. I did a virus scan and it came out clean, and I'm using Windows Live OneCare.

Yeah, I know I posted this verbatim in the Freeware Games thread, but I felt that the game deserved its own thread.

Oh, and I just finished a video of it; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOb6jJcvzEY

Off Topic / Confused about my two computers...
« on: August 24, 2008, 01:07:56 PM »
Ok, here's the deal. Both computers run Vista. At my Dad's house, I have a Compaq that I got last Christmas.

Compaq:

Say for instance, Trackmania Nations Forever runs pretty steadily at 1366x768, (which is smaller than the 1440x900 at my mom's.) but it still has a few frame issues here and there, no matter the resolution or gfx settings. Which makes me believe it is a RAM issue. Now if I ran Unreal Tournament 99 (which uses Steam), the game would run slower than Trackmania (in fact, UT99 would run at about 12 frames.), and the same goes for any game on Steam (Source and Goldsource engines.). It also seems to run Warsow on medium at around 40-80 frames (non-Steam). I noticed that the amount of programs running in the background (like gadgets) affects the frame rate, as well. So, after shutting down a stuffload of programs and launching HL2 without the Steam window open, it was able to handle the Trainstation background with the settings on High, and was choppy but tolerable. I started the game, Gman was talking about nothing, but at a smooth framerate, and then my Video card failed, the game stuck, and I had to leave for my Mom's house before I could find anything else out.

Resolution: 1366x768 (My HDTV LCD Screen.)

Specs:
RAM: 1GB
Processing: ~2Ghz Intel of some sort (probably Celeron M)
Video: 256mb Intel 82845g
OS: Windows Vista Home Basic

Now for the one at my Mom's house.

E-machines:

This is where I get even more confused. Same amount of RAM, VRAM, and processing, but everything runs about 10 times better. Trackmania Nations Forever at the same settings as the Compaq will run at about 30-40 frames with a detailed track at 1440x900, and 60-80 frames at 800x600. It also kicks Blockland's ass, unless you have 10k round bricks in front of me.

It can also run BF2 at low, at 800x600, at 40-75 frames.

Resolution: 1440x900 (The monitor that came in the box.)

Specs:
RAM: 894MB (That's what DxDiag says, but I know it's 1GB.)
Processing: AMD Sempron LE-1250 @~2.2Ghz
Video: 314MB NVIDIA GeForce 6100 (Again, that's what DxDiag says, but it's a 256MB.)
OS: Windows Vista Home Basic


I'm very confused about how to upgrade the Compaq, because a Video card is expensive right now, and everything that is going on seems to be RAM-related, but I'm no expert on hardware, so I'm not 100% sure if it is a RAM issue.

It's really fun....Pretty much Gmod for BF2. I saw about 10 occupied servers up with the mod yesterday.

Video.

Games / Bungie teases next Halo project.
« on: August 13, 2008, 12:14:01 AM »
Looks like you'll be able to create your own maps, but I'm guessing it'll be made from pre-made parts similar to Trackmania, if that makes any sense to you. Also, multiplayer bots? If it all works out, you'll pretty much be able to make your own co-op maps.

Off Topic / Program Files issues.
« on: August 09, 2008, 09:41:48 AM »
I accidentally had an installer clean out a couple of Program Files folders, but it wasn't that many.

Anyway, I tried to uninstall/reinstall one of my games, and it isn't letting me do either. Not sure what to do, and it is really annoying me. It let me do the same for AVG...

Of course, the second after I'm done posting this, someone joins.
