    A Revised Discussion of the Kilrathi Language

    The only one I can think of close to food is "Eat it", and maybe a bit of "Dare to be stupid" OTOH, I would love to see if the cake is a lie with Still Alive...

    WC2 Native DOS Sound Blaster Pro Problems (And Speed Question)

    Does your PC have PCI slots? If so, have you reserved the IRQ, Memory and IO spaces associated with the card in the BIOS? PCI supports dynamic reassignment, and if you have ISA cards like an SB Pro, you need to tell the BIOS that it can't use those resources when allocating them to PCI...

    Strike Commander with Oculus Rift (Virtual Reality Headset) project.

    There's the 90/10 rule (or 80/20 rule) - where the first 90 (or 80) % of the work is done in the first 10 (or 20) % of the time. It's an annoying thing - but you'll see massive progress like this in a little over a month, but then it's all the little things that you need to do to finish it off...

    Xbox 360 Controller Guides?

    The Xbone controller is interesting - it's not as "hefty" as the PS4 controller (which is 1000x better than the PS3 controller), nor as heavy as the Xbox360 controller. At first, I thought it felt a bit too "cheap" because of its lightness, but after heaving used it, it's feels good. can't...

    CIC Forums Upgraded (September 14, 2013)

    FYI - the new color scheme didn't take for me. So you had this awful awful grey-on-white and blue thing going. To change it, go to your user control panel (click on your name on the upper right, then under Settings, click on Preferences and change the theme to Darkened-Red.

    New crowdfunding record incoming?

    Well, if you chose that option, and don't make the cut, Indiegogo charges you 9%. If you hit the goal, they only charge you 4%. If they don't get the $32M, that would mean over a million dollars for Indiegogo. Personally, I don't like indiegogo purely because they charge you immediately. They...

    Wing Commander Blu-ray Released! (August 6, 2013)

    Well, a Blu-Ray drive is cheap (under $100 for a Blu-Ray writer, even!). If you want a Blu-Ray player, I'm sure you can get someone from North America to ship you one - they're under $50 for a "smart" player these days. If you want to crack them, the generally acknowledged utility is AnyDVD HD...

    You're Invited (August 11, 2013)

    Too bad few concerts allow recording, this would be great for those who can't attend. (There are a few that do allow you to record their performance - either in parts or in their entirety, like Video Games Live).

    One Week to Blu-Ray! (July 30, 2013)

    Well, Futureshop does ship early for me - so it will arrive on release day. Though, I'd probably just pick it up in store from Futureshop to avoid shipping charges.

    Wing Commander Blu-Ray Prices Inch Lower (July 16, 2013)

    Wonder why Amazon.ca doesn't do that. They only ship ON release day... at best. They usually ship a few days after release.

    Wing Commander Blu-Ray Prices Inch Lower (July 16, 2013)

    Amazon ships stuff to arrive release day? Damn... must be some US only thing or something. The best I've ever gotten was the friday of release week. Typically it's the following Monday.

    Amazon Blu-ray Price Reduced! (June 14, 2013)

    That was weird. The Amazon.ca link wasn't showing up a Prime-eligible until I clicked around a bit... then it suddenly showed up.

    Major Milestone Demonstrates Community's Determination (May 27, 2013)

    Man, I joined up in the second half of 2003... can't believe it's been that long! Edit: Huh, maybe not. Looks like I joined a month and a half before. I think I remember the april fool's joke from that year when the CIC went paywall...

    Xbox One Unveiled (May 21, 2013)

    Wow, that was a pretty "meh" launch. I think Microsoft should've just saved everyone's time and announced it at E4 ("Expensive" E3). Let the hype build some, then run releases all week to steal thunder away from the PS4. Because what we saw today was... OK. Nothing really wowed me. That being...
