/dev/random / Re: The last movie you saw....

« on: May 22, 2010, 07:54:36 PM »

Saw "The Wolfman" (the one from this year) last night.  The special effects were good.  Was a little dull/slow at times.  Lots of gore, and creative/enjoyable gore too.  I enjoyed it.

Watched "My Bloody Valentine", from 2009 I believe, tonight.  TONS of gore, and again, some quite unique methods of death.  Acting wasn't that great, but overall it wasn't that horrible.  Most cheesy horror movies suck, but this one was worth watching.

Oh, saw "Pandorum" in the past 2-3 weeks, and I enjoyed that a good bit.  Good mix of sci-fi with some good horror/gore mixed in.

Quake / Re: "Black Hole" Server/map bug. What is it, what causes it?

« on: May 22, 2010, 06:00:23 PM »

No one has ever noticed this?  Maybe I'm not describing it effectively enough.  There's often the sound of a railgun hum (at least with defaults sounds), and there's a lag/wobble when you run through it.  It's pretty rare, but I've definitely noticed it a number of times since I've been playing.

Quake / "Black Hole" Server/map bug. What is it, what causes it?

« on: May 22, 2010, 12:00:47 PM »

Occasionally while in a FFA game, I've noticed that certain spots on a map become sort of a "Black Hole" of sorts.  You can't see these spots, but when you get close to them, you usually hear a railgun hum, and they stick you, or sort of make it feel laggy, just when passing through these particular spots.

Is anybody else familiar with this anomaly that I'm referring to?  What causes this exactly?

Error/Glitch Demos / Re: q2dm8 hidey holes

« on: May 22, 2010, 11:35:02 AM »

Here's a WAY overlong demo of me running around DM8 with a mouse that likes to stick slightly to my mousepad.  Very near the beginning I do the chaingun ramp down to where the 2 railslugs are jump up to the railgun level.

I get that jump a bunch more times over the course of the demo, and I get a jump you jump from very near the railgun, and land down in a little corner near the chaingun, then bounce right back up to railgun level.  That's not for a little ways into the demo.  I do try to attempt it right after my first successful cg ramp/slope to rg level jump though.  I don't make it first attempt.

It's usually just dust or other particles in the air.  They're seen commonly in underwater photography in the middle of nowhere.  Are ghosts inhabiting random places at the bottom of the ocean floor in the middle of nowhere?

I'm not saying I'm 100% certain that "ghosts" don't exist, but there seems to be plenty of rational explanations for orbs.

Had to join the Debbie Downer train.  Full speed ahead Quadz!

I noticed my ping just jumped up 25-30 ms.  Not sure about packet loss, but I guess the route has changed =(

« on: May 14, 2010, 10:16:37 AM »

Sorry if there was already a thread about this somewhere else.

For those that don't already know, the Valve (Half-Life, etc.) game "Portal" is free if you add/download it to your Steam account by the 24th.  If you don't already have it, go get it!

He's a fairly small heavyweight, weight-wise anyway.  I think he weighed in at like 225.  Perhaps he could cut down to the 205 class and do a lot better there.  He's 36 too... so no spring chicken either.

If you're talking about the movie, I thought it was great.  No clue what's on "disc 3" though.

Hadn't seen that done in front of a live audience before.  Awesome idea, I want to see more too! =)

I own it, but I think I only played it once for about 5 minutes.  Just seems like there's a LOT to learn about it, and I guess I'm not sure if I have the patience/motivation to take the time to learn.  Where's a good place to go to learn the basics?

Jump & Trick Demos / Re: dm3- lolwut jump

« on: May 01, 2010, 06:47:32 AM »

Don't you have to lower your FPS to around 27 for that little mini-step jump on DM1 to the rockets/shards you're referring to?  If you try to catch that edge at like 112 (which is what I generally run at) you never can catch it.  I guess the same is required for DJ'ng off the ladder to quad there by YA on DM3?

Looks like that isn't Jessica Simpson afterall.  The boobs are too big for one.  Looks an awful lot like her though.
