Games / Re: Graphics or Gameplay?

« on: March 03, 2011, 07:12:05 PM »

Gameplay is usually worthless without believable graphics. Graphics are what allow you to me more immersed in the gameplay. The more believable the graphics are, the more you will forget about reality and be absorbed in the game.

Minecrafts gameplay is great, but I honestly don't have a whole lot of fun with it because after awhile the graphics literally hurt my eyes.

This is a pretty hot debate right now, and I don't think there are any laws about it yet. It's entirely plausible that you could get in trouble for this. I don't think you would get suspended for this though, but the counselor might want you and your "friend" to go through counseling.

Edit: Found this, it explains it very well.

Several courts have ruled on cases involving off-campus, online harmful speech. The
legal standard these courts applied was the Tinker standard.2 Under the Tinker
standard, school officials may only respond with formal discipline in cases where the off-
campus speech causes, or threatens to cause, a substantial and material disruption at
school or interference with the rights of students to be secure. In most of these cases,
the courts found that impact of the off-campus online speech did not meet the Tinker
standard.3

15 seconds?

Well I can't change it now I lost the original file.

Unless it's a long video worth watching, any intro over 10 seconds is annoying to me. I think you should just crop off the first 7 seconds, and speed it up if it is possible without the original file.

It's all about politics. ISPs sign contracts with cities, so it's all about waiting until your crappy ISP gets it or someone is fed up enough with your towns ISP to not let the get the contract.

Upload is stuff.

Your ping is really high too.

Not everybody lives in big enough cities to get good upload speeds. Mine is usually around 0.30 Mb/s, and I've hosted 14 player servers on my internet, 32 shouldn't be a big problem.

Ping might be a little high, but it's 2000 miles away.

And I still want to know why you want to host from a Virtual machine.

Why would you need to host a dedicated off a Virtual Machine?

Also it doesn't matter how good your computer is if your internet can't handle the bandwidth. I think Torque uses a whole lot of bandwidth, but you will need a pretty good upload speed to handle 32 players.
