    The cats can't have this many ships!

    Really? Holy cow. To quote Minecraft Misadventures (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tnyJ9ulG08), "That's reason enough to buy it!"

    The cats can't have this many ships!

    I recall an explanation from before that, in Fleet Action, two Snakeirs disengage to escort an injured Hakaga back to Kilrathi space, so if you destroy the Hakaga, those two Snakeirs are present later on in the game. Though I'm not sure if that reconciles the numbers or not (Fleet Action is one...

    Steve Jobs, 1955-2011 (October 5, 2011)

    This. I've never been a particularly huge fan of Apple's products and business practices, but if everyone had the self-belief and perseverance Steve Jobs had, the world would be a better place.

    OpenGl Renderer for Standoff

    In fact, everything worked great. I managed to get the win-win ending night before last, and everything was beautiful all throughout

    I had to go to Rookie to beat it. I felt like a failure. :<

    "First Encounters" is so broken. I have easily at least a dozen Rapiers. Why is my wing flying Stilettos? This makes the mission just far too frustrating.

    Looks like a patch came down today that fixed the issue.

    OpenGl Renderer for Standoff

    Long time, no see. I'm having a strange problem which seems to be semi-common, but I can't seem to solve it with any suggestion I've found. I'm running Windows 7 with a Radeon HD5570, driver version 8.881.0.0. HDR bloom does not work at all in Standoff. It works great, however, in Secret...

    I'm amused that Chris has a permagrin.

    Xbox 360 memory cards

    Moving the hard drive around might be a good idea in fact so you can keep all the downloaded data as well.

    Xbox 360 memory cards

    I'm pretty sure that on the XBox 360, your profile is "roaming." That is, it can only exist in any one place at one time. If your account is activated on more than one Xbox 360 at a time, it will be deleted from the older one next time it logs into XBox Live. So, if you plan on using it on a...

    What an amazing gloss page. He wears a pilgrim cross? This guy really belongs among the ranks of hardcore Wing Commander fans.

    Nintendo Backs Away from Advance (October 2, 2008)

    No, this is like criticizing the original DS because it can't play GB/GBC games anymore. Sure, it's a valid observation, but the DS wasn't made for GB/GBC games. The DSi isn't meant for playing GBA games. It's meant for playing DS cartridge games (exempting those with slot 2 accessories...

    Nintendo Backs Away from Advance (October 2, 2008)

    This is kind of unfair given that we don't really know *that* much about what Nintendo plans to do with the DSi. It really isn't a whole lot different from the DS Lite, versus how much of an improvement the DS Lite was over the DS, so there really isn't any compelling reason to get one unless...

    Nintendo Backs Away from Advance (October 2, 2008)

    Sure, but then you were ideally playing brand new games with brand new accessories. The DSi still plays from the same set of games (exempting games downloaded or stored on internal/SD storage) unless they plan on releasing games that just won't work on a DS and only a DSi (which shouldn't be...

    Nintendo Backs Away from Advance (October 2, 2008)

    Well, Nintendo is suggesting that the DSi is a "third platform" separate from the Wii and DS, so it's apparently not meant to replace the DS but to be on the market alongside it. Although Nintendo said almost the same thing about the DS being a "third pillar" of Nintendo alongside the Gamecube...

    Video Card Suggestions

    According to this chart, 2x 7900 GS in SLI averages about 60.40 fps in the Half Life 2 Episode 2 1280x1024, 4xAA, 8xAF, Very High Quality benchmark. 2x 9800 GTX in SLI configuration averages about 85.10 fps in the same benchmark. So you just have to decide if the price of two new video cards...
