I didn't like 3dfx cards because of their use of GLIDE was being destroyed by Microsofts DirectX, and they couldn't render in 32bit colour palette. The difference between 16bit and 32bit colour was night and day back in 1999 as transition colours like sky, fog, multilayer textures looked better.

Diamond Monster Riva TNT2 Ultra. Ran the game at my monitors resolution (19" CRT, 1200ish?) with 32bit colour flawlessly. I think I paid around $200 for the card. When the Geforce 2 came out I bought the ultra ($300USD at the time which was absurd). Processor and ram seemed to be more limiting...

The Magrider got nerfed into the ground while the prowler got buffed to high heaven. VS has the worst empire specific tank. People need to not impulse buy the new engineer turret as it will be nerfed soon as the FOTM is ideal for a F2P game. If you are into infantry combat and you want to be...

My biggest issue with modern MMOs is the linear fashion of dungeons. I don't get to live in that dungeon, learning all the ins and outs. I don't have to learn where people tend to camp, don't have any excitement trying to find where that illusive monster is with that rare loot. Add in a GPS mini...

Should have licked her ass.

Worst games for me isn't any specific game, but how the industry floods the market with replicas of a game that succeeds. I started PC gaming in 1996 with Quake and Warcraft 2 as the powerhouses of up and coming genres. All those RTS and FPS knockoffs were the worst. We see it with the Mmo boom...

They passed Aspertame to try and curb the obesity epidemic the US was starting to experience. Sadly the quick fix approach failed, like it always does. Artificial sweetners don' add to calorie count, but they are still linked to obesity and diabetes...

Rocket Jumping, Bunny hopping, wall hugging were all exploits in Quake that were left because they inadvertently created more game play mechanics that increased the skill ceiling of the game. Skiing in Tribes 1 was not intended, but its now the stable move of the Tribes francise.

Timothy McVeigh and all those right wing nuts from Waco sure as hell were scared of the government impeding their rights to arms.

The Okanagan valley is picked almost 100% by mexicans. There are no gun crimes in that valley that aren't gang related. And most of the violent problems in Mexico are directly related to US policy on drugs. All that gang violence would disappear if drugs were not prohibited, you saw it with...

No emotion and it sounds heavily rehearsed. She insists that the she is not mad at this man, but is mad at the government for its laws. That is a normal tactic for lobbying groups both in the US and in Canada. I have seen these same type of theatrical pleas to the government in response to a...

That is very depressing.

I'm fine with the NRA members being allowed to carry guns on a plane if every black and arab man can carry one on too. Don't see them allowing "terruists" getting their hands on some guns on a plane. I feel bad for all the arab and brown people of the US getting instantly stereotyped into...

Need to be an internet bully to make yourself feel better because you waste most of your life on a message board insulting people not for opinions but for their spelling. Need me to grammatically repair every post I make? Attack me for my views, not on my typing and stop being prick. Your...

It saddens me to see people use the term mentally ill as an escape goat for gun killings. There are many people with mental disabilities. These can include Down's Syndrome, autism (not including assburgers), or general retardation from many outside factors. These individual have difficulties...

Both are unintentional reckless actions that can cause death to a third party. Pointing a gun at somebody, then shooting them is not unintentional.

What is your stance on the non illicit drugs that don't cause crime and disease? I smoke pot and its a narcotic. I use it because it is a narcotic. Narcotics somehow got tagged in with all illicit drugs, which is incorrect. When the USA banned drugs like LSD, MDMA and its derivatives, mushrooms...

You don't sue the poor school or school district, you go to the government to enact laws to get stuff done. Its how the rest of the world works. I see so many republican nuts call for spending cuts, so why would you want a public entity that is paid by tax payer to be out a couple hundred...

You try killing more than one person with a knife. Thats the difference. You can't do a drive by knifing either. The targeted gang assassinations have been causing bystanders to be hit with stray fire. By controlling guns that can inflict tons of damage, law officers can seize banned weapons...

Looking for punitive damages is the reason the states are always looking to capitalize on some bullshit. All I see on US TV is ads for class action lawsuits, personal claims lawyers, and prescription drugs. Don't you see the problem with those ads? Do we need more self diagnosing idiots who...

Sorry Double post, SFO wireless is getting hammered I think. Keeps dropping connections or hanging when loading pages.

The birth rate in most developed countries is now crossing the 1.5 children per women mark. Canada is tanking fast. Last time I saw the US is at 2.0, the highest in the developed world. I'm pro-choice but the easier way to fix this problem is educate both girls and boys in school, offer cheap...

The most violent people I know are those that don't have a mental disorder. These people perform actions that if caught, could result in long prison times. They are so scared of being caught, and being sent to jail for a long time that violence "might" prevent jail. On your accounts, all the...

And if they are from any country other than South Africa? Its not politically incorrect to call black people black, just like its okay to call white people white. Asian is different because their complexion varies from extremely pale to brown. And yes, my black friends get offended when people...

I'm not paranoid that some armed robber is going to break into my house and shoot me because statistically I'm more likely to win the damn lottery. You know where I had the gun pulled on me? The poorest neighbourhood in all of Canada in a city. And the area is cleaning up with different...

I'll agree with you on those points. And I have never asked any Americans before, but why do you call them African Americans? What if you are not from either the US or Africa? What do you call actual white africans who are americans?

Amendment IV The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to...

Nice to see any credibility of you flew out the fucking window once you blame it on "American Inventors". All those school mass killings were done by tons of "American Inventors" now weren't they? I guess Oklahoma bomb was really a sand "American Inventor" too with that perfectly sane red neck saint McVeigh was just framed...

I live in a country without the fear or being shot. Have you had a gun pulled on you by a random stranger? I sure as fuck have and so I can comment on the whole ordeal when I want. I could go on with about a million other things the US does that negatively affects my quality of living in...

Denial seems to be an American trait. Stop passing the buck and man up and take some responsibility for your countries choices. All the naysayers about healthcare, guns, taxes are just being blinded by the old rich families. Your country is so polarized and lost in its identity. Remember that...

The only completely random gun murders I have heard of in Canada not at a school are the bystanders in a gang shooting. And when its handguns, rarely do the victims die. Nobody is going to randomly kill you, just like every arab isn't going to blow you up. Stop getting so offended by people...

7 round clips and under .38 Some ammunition is illegal too because of the added effects. Civilians have no use for hollow point and armour piercing rounds.

Small clip low caliber handguns and single shot rifles. People can't conceal a rifle and walk into a public place without being noticed. I have never seen somebody in Canada carry a handgun around except one drug dealer. One out of how many people I bought drugs from when I was younger. And...

Gun Control is broken up into two categories; a registry for legal arms, and the removal of dangerous arms. Don't try and defend your right to bare arms when it comes to weapons designed to inflict as many casualties as possible as logical. In Canada, automatic weapons , assault rifles...

I have been lurking the FOH board since 2001, around the time Luclin was about to Launch as I began to read top guilds websites. I have seen all the great threads come and go yet I was never able to post because for some odd reason I couldn't properly register. Now I can, and its good to see...
