I marginally regret dropping the difficulty down, because easy is just completely brain dead. But then again medium was proving obscenely difficult with all the enemies scoring instant hit scan mortal wounds the precise moment I round corners. I guess there just wasn't a happy medium. And the level …

I can only really get away with streaming The Elders Scrolls II: Daggerfall because nudity is part of the game stock, not as a mod. I so much as try that with Morrowind or Oblivion and I will get my account terminated, even though it's just me roleplaying my character the way I want to be. I …

I just finished the last two missions of Urban Assault and started it's expansion pack "Metropolis Dawn", starting with the Ghorkov campaign first rather than Taerkasten campaign first. Of course this is all being streamed on Twitch, I'll try to stream again tonight at around 10 PM Central Time.

Well, I wrapped up Shogo on my newly rebuilt P233/Riva 128 build. Since I was using a Super7 motherboard, I thought I'd try going for a 2.5 x 100 clock instead of a 4.5 x 66 clock, and take advantage of some spare PC100 ram I had. Worked like a charm, and I didn't have to touch voltages at all. So …

The second scripted video was a rare return to actual proper reviewing! The subject for review? The underrated Starcom by Grey Software, a shooter almost nobody has heard about. You know, I was wondering when someone was going to take a look at that. I have been linking various retro Twitch …

Also, I am a quicksaving fool in this game. I remember dying constantly in the on foot section. I also remember not being very good at games back then, with no concept of circle strafing or anything. But yeah, those on foot sections are still brutal. Enemies almost always get the first shot on me. …

buggy SoundFont-powered experimental synth. Unfortunately, you can only use small SF2s with it and none of the large, HQ ones that enthusiasts love to use. I really don't understand why they continue using whatever it is they're using for that. They should just figure out how to bind FluidSynth to …

Since I've had to take down all of my previous VOD's and "highlights" I've been trying to re-stream everything I once had up, with a new setup. I'm currently going through Urban Assault, and I can't say for when I actually do stream because it depends on whatever my parents feel like doing on their …

This week's scripted video was about Luxtorpeda, a steam compatibility tool that attempts to automagically install source ports on Linux-based systems. Does it do that well? Lawnie investigates! Well the problem with Unreal Gold and Unreal Tournament, (especially Unreal Gold) is that they're using …

A large chunk of my subscriber base are 40-50 years old, and while I'm a bit younger than that (36) I still grew up in the 80s surrounded by technology and gaming at a very young age due to my father's profession. I'm 29 and I still would rather enjoy these than what's been coming out today. ( …

What happens if you try to boot some form of Linux on it? Especially one that boots with a loglevel that generally outputs plentiful information in the kernel message ringbuffer.

I view the AAA gaming industry now in the same way I view the AAA movie industry - "mostly annoying, generic/teen/Michael Bay stuff that I'm not interested in, with the occasional gem that I'll eventually hear about and get around to later". It's simultaneously the best and worst time to be a gamer …

Starsiege, Starsiege: Tribes and Unreal are the three big ones for me because it's what got me started in making mods and maps for video games in the first place. I know more about Unreal 1 modding than any one person should really ever know, heh.

I don't think it's worth it at all primarily because Creative is a terrible company. When you really look at it, the soundcards since AWE32 and above, are just music synthesizers being forced to do something they weren't designed to do in the first place: render MIDI music. The drivers are …
