Re: Getting on Half-Life Multiplayer Servers

Yes, the old WON version of HL has unofficial patches that allow you to play on WON2 community servers. Tried it out once. Quite nostalgic. It's not just the interface that's different, though. The rendering engine is different as well and also quite nostalgic. That said, if you use your WON HL CD …

Re: Star Wars Despecialized Editions

Despecialized are the only existing unaltered trilogy versions in HD out there. That's why I like it. Only problem is they're not 1080p, just 720p.....yet anyway. It doesn't help LucasFilm's case that the current Blu-Ray quality that's sold is absolutely horrid with incorrect colour timings and …

Re: Sierra Humble Bundle

A little correction, Humble greyed out my key for KQ Complete Collection because it saw I already "owned" it. However, you can force it to display anyway. So I did and tried to redeem the key on Steam and it worked!

Re: Duke Nukem 3D 20th Anniversary

They made a new engine from the original source so they wouldn't have to pay royalties to everyone who has worked on the modern source ports up until now (like JonoF, TerminX, countless others). They want all the money for themselves, basically. I wonder how they're getting around paying Ken …

Re: Whats a good format to have music in?

Secondly, is RAM usage really that much of an issue? What exactly is the hassle? How exactly would you notice your system taking a hit with today's systems ? This is a problem with people that back newer rescores hungry file formats fail to understated completely, they fail to realize that not …

Re: Sierra Humble Bundle

One bonus is the $15 tier includes a Steam key for the King's Quest Collection which isn't available on Steam anymore. Everything uses DOSBox. For the King's Quest and Space Quest collections there are actually two versions included. The 2006 Vivendi release rip (which has the SQ1 and KQ1 remakes …

Re: Whats a good format to have music in?

First of all, I didn't say that, GuyTechie. Think you messed up the quote tags there. Just wanted to clarify that. Secondly, is RAM usage really that much of an issue? What exactly is the hassle? How exactly would you notice your system taking a hit with today's systems? Thirdly, I also catalog my …

Re: Whats a good format to have music in?

Keep the MP3s and upgrade your speakers instead. You won't hear a difference going from 320K MP3 to FLAC, but you'll have multiple eargasms as soon as you ditch that soundbar and get a set of real speakers. whynotboth.gif WAV. plain and simple, works on just about everything. Literally no …

Re: Whats a good format to have music in?

Start with FLAC and then compress down to any other format you need. But don't try turning a compressed format like MP3 into a FLAC as that won't gain you anything but a larger file size. All the compression artifacts inherent in lossy codecs will still be there. You'll have a perfectly lossless …

Re: Desecration of old hardware

In the same way, vintage camera enthusiasts and collectors get upset when Star Wars fans buy an authentic Graflex camera flash handle and gut it to turn it into Luke's first lightsaber. As a result, when one of them tries to buy one from said enthusiasts, they hike the price up really high.

Re: Most famous shareware CD series?

I still have a handful of Electronic Entertainment/E2 demo CDs that came with some monthly PC magazine of some kind that my dad used to get. Also two Gamefest CDs. Fond memories of those discs filled with games I thought I'd never get to play full versions of (Dark Forces, Full Throttle, etc).
