  1. WTF Is Going on in Chcago?

    I can't believe "good weather" is now considered a plausible reason for an escalation of violence!
  2. They claim this year, nothing more than that.
  3. ARMA II Presentation

    Got my fingers crossed on this one fixing the shortcomings still in ArmA!
  4. WTF is up with the ARMA AI?

    I must have over 150 hrs in it so far...but less than 5 in solo missions and I've not even started any of the campaigns! All of it in MP, most with SimHQ, but some with some other guys I know.
  5. Crysis anyone?

    Crysis quite literally seems to be the only game out there that can't be played at an acceptable level of performance on any hardware currently available. It's become the defacto benchmark for new CPUs and GPUs by virtue of that fact. However, at medium/high detail on my C2D 3GHz and my 8800GTS 512MB it ran quite well. I admit I found the beginning of the game vs the soldiers more entertaining than the SF stuff at the end, much as Far Cry was more fun fighting mercs than monsters, but it was still great fun. The final battle at the aircraft carrier will literally bring any system around to its knees!
  6. Mad Doc Software has been bought by Rockstar Games

    Mad Doc hasn't done anything I've really liked since...well, ST Armada 2, and I wouldn't say I "really liked" that. I thought it was ok, but in some ways a step back from Armada 1.
  7. ORR is a blast, albeit very frustrating at times!!
  8. Your Favorite Fish to Eat

    Mmmmm...that's great bass!
  9. ummmmmm?

    You must cut down the tallest tree in the forest with...a herring!!!
  10. Happy PassOver.

    Man, do I hate stuffed cabbage. The stuffing is ok, but the cabbage!
  11. Colleges

    Amen to that. Almost 15 years after my graduation no one cares where I went or what my degree was in. That only matters for your first, maybe 2nd jobs, out of school. After that it's where you worked and what you did that makes the difference.
  12. Hancock trailer

    I first saw the trailer months ago. I think it will be a good funny flick like MiB was.
  13. This will mess with your mind

    Malpractice insurance, driven by the malpractice lawyers, is what has made healthcase unaffordable in the US. Every person and place needs it, from nurses to clinics to doctors and hospitals, and because the lawsuits are always so big they pay mega $$ for the insurance. I remember a DECADE ago my father telling me his hospital paid $1000/bed/DAY for malpractice insurance ALONE. That's $365k/year per bed just for that facility. You know, 100 years ago if someone died or was screwed up in the hospital it wasn't a license to print money for that person or their next of kin or their slimy lawyer (who always takes half--if they're lucky).
  14. Soarin'

    You must have been here very recently then as Mission Space isn't that old a ride, although it's no longer what it was. Thanks to the deaths it's now a pale shell of what it used to be. Patrick Warburton is good in Soarin, but it's still just sitting there and watching an Imax film.
  15. F117, Nice Paint

    Of course, they'd be dead before they saw it.
  16. The deal isn't that it was done, it's that the Russians shouldn't have been involved with it and are trying to claim it wasn't them. My guess is they didn't think the drone would be able to film its own demise.
  17. Which is why the AAA needs a firewall...
  18. Soarin'

    Oh yeah, the line for Soarin is totally out of proportion with how good the ride is, frankly. I liked it well enough, but not to stand in line for an hour plus!
  19. FE Apr2008 patch question

    5/22 release--I will be seeing it opening weekend! "You're a teacher??!?" "Part time."
  20. You can make fun of Thailand if you want...

    Yup, it's on the news now and then.
  21. This is the AP that's having the trouble. As soon as it's approaching the next-to-last WP the throttle cuts to zero until the airspeed is like 120 kts and the thing starts dropping like a rock, then the throttle kicks back in to like 15%. I've got a long weekend coming up (taking Wed-Fri off!) so I'll try and delve into it a little more. Flown manually I have no trouble with it, but I believe the AP and how AI flies the planes are linked, so solving one will solve the other. Only thing I DID work out this weekend is that the Gripen's exhaust nozzle animations were reversed--it was opening when it should be closing and vice versa! Compared to it to several other FMs out there and saw what numbers to change (mostly making 1.0 into 0.1 and vice versa) and now it looks right. That did take over an hour to determine, though!
  22. FE Apr2008 patch question

    "They are holding Marcus in the belly of that steel beast..."
  23. H.A.W.X.

    Well, that's like saying the same company that came up with Star Trek came up with Last Call with Carson Daly (NBC). Ubisoft published both BA and Il-2, but Oleg's 1C in Moscow developed Il-2 while Ubi Bucharest, I think, made BA and now HAWX.
  24. You can make fun of Thailand if you want...

    Chelsea is campaigning, what else would she be doing?
  25. What is wrong with the USAF?

    That's why I always say don't be surprised if a rocket fails at launch, be amazed when it makes it!
