    Starcraft 2

    I vaguely remember a can of Nuke Cola in some cutscene from Starcraft or Brood War. Or maybe I'm just thinking of the cooler with the beer and a cold fusion nuke. Of course, Fallout came first, so they might have got the idea from that too.

    WC2 DosBox 7 Problem...

    For future reference, some games will like TIMING=TRUE better, especially at high cycle counts. WC3 can have issues with TIMING=FALSE at very high cycle counts (which is what led me to look into the joystick emulation problem in the first place.) Some games will only misbehave if the cycle...

    Infinity: The Quest for Earth

    This looks potentially very cool. Sadly, I never have much hope for these kinds of independent projects being completed and done well, but I've been surprised before. Next time I'm running Windows I may have to check out the combat prototype.

    Paper, Paper, Everywhere (February 8, 2007)

    Those broadswords look amazing! I'm going to have to put those together. Or try to, at least. Thanks!

    Star Wars thread of great justice!

    I'd have to go with the TIE-Interceptor and the YT-2000, myself, depending on my mood.

    TCG... but this time with other backgrounds...

    Ah, excellent, I was hoping this project wasn't just abandoned. Looking forward to more updates!

    No Gravity? No Problem. (March 12, 2007)

    I was thinking this looked and sounded very familiar... and that's because it was. No Gravity is an older freeware title for various OSes. Not nearly as pretty as the PSP version screenshots, and I don't remember it very well (don't think I liked it overly much). You can download it for...

    Wing Commander model

    From an email after sending him one of the images. Although, I'd think a Plunkett might be awfully fragile.

    DosBox reached version .70

    Short version: It may be cycles=auto; regardless of which of the two DosBox joystick implementations they are using, changing cycles after calibration will work on some games, but not others. Slightly longer version: I haven't checked, but it is very likely that if cycles=auto, it will...

    Paper, Paper, Everywhere (February 8, 2007)

    Yes, those are awesome. I put together a Jrathek last night with my 85 g/m^2 paper and tacky glue, and it worked fairly well. I might try to find some paper that's just a little bit more rigid. I'm looking forward to the Broadsword you're doing soon, and after a little repainting maybe I'll...

    Don't have $400 to drop? Have a little patience...

    I'm not too concerned about performace, so much as I am about drivers. I know my printer and video capture card do not have Vista drivers (I'm not sure about some of my other hardware). Therefore, for me, Vista is a downgrade because it reduces the functionality of my computer. Not to say I...

    Don't have $400 to drop? Have a little patience...

    I would also rather buy a 360 for $400 than downgrade my pc to Vista for $200 at the moment. But as I can't afford either right now, (and as RAM for my PC is a higher prioriy anyway) I'll have to see what happens come annual review/bonus time.

    Capturing Advice

    Premiere probably doesn't support the ZMBV codec, which is pretty new. As far as I know, the only things that work with it are Dosbox, the decoder that comes with Dosbox (although I'm surprised Premiere doesn't try to use it), and FFMPEG, which you could use to convert into another format...

    Privateer: Ascii Sector

    If I remember correctly, damage to your jump drive made it take more fuel for each jump, effectively reducing the number of jumps you could take before having to land to refuel. Jumping in Privateer was never instantaneous; it always took a few seconds to charge during which you are immobile in...

    a funny resemblance

    Ah, Star Hammer! I tried to find the demo/first episode for that awhile back when I was thinking of old Shareware games. Good find!

    TCG... but this time with other backgrounds...

    Your cards continue to be impressive. Good work! I'm looking forward to seeing the ruleset when it's ready - what you've described so far seems interesting.

    I’ve never played a “Zelda” game in my entire life!

    You know, someone at the office yesterday said they had never played a Zelda game... everyone in his area went silent and stared at him for a good ten seconds until a few additional people walked over to say "WHAT?" Aside from mixed feelings about Wind Waker (more from a designer's...
