      Don't see why you'd want to limit yourself for the sake of a dated theme, 64bit 7 will blow away XP since stated the hardware compatible to use the 64 bit OS is limited which means you're more than likely using the 32 bit version and limited to 3gb of RAM which is nothing.

      I'd love it if I could downgrade to 7, but my laptop's stuck running 8.1 which SUCKS

      Dual boot. I run Ubuntu on my Windows laptop, should be able to do the same for Win7.

  2. Is it possible to become a game developer while at the same time sucking hard at math?

      More than what you're good at, what matters is what you are really drawn to. Anything can be learned. It's up to you to make it happen. Make sure that if you choose to take the easier way, that you're not sacrificing your dreams, as that will never make you happy. It's better to fight for what you believe in, than to be lost in your own fate/choices.

      What I meant by physics is mathematics for moving players around a 2D world, such as player.X += speed * deltaSec, nothing too complex.

      @EpicLoyd , yes in some fucked up way it's a dnb REMIX of a DUBSTEP track which still carries a lot of Dubstep-Elements you find typically in tracks by skrillex as it's after all based at a skrillex track

      I basically said that pretty much everything they did, they could've done to the old comment system as well. Google+ has nothing to do with it. Yet people think it's the source of all evil.

      I've got Battle for Middle-Earth 2 on DVD. I didn't know a CD version existed :D

      When did you get your copy? I got mine in 2009 not long after the release date (2006). The one thing about the CDs that I liked was that they had cool concept art on them. There were 6 CDs, so I had 6 nice paintings to look at. The funny thing is that I also have a disk copy of Star Wars Best of PC which has like 5 star wars games on 2 DVDs.

    4. Agent Jones

      Agent Jones

      I can't remember where I got that copy, it was years ago. Probably in 2007 or 08.

      On a side note, I still play JKA on CD.

  8. Anyone knows good bass guitars, for a nice price?

      Hmmm, that's actually not a bad idea then. A beater guitar like a squire could be a good learning process to figure out how to solder in new pickups. The wood is still going to be meh, but most things in that price range are like that.

    3. Circa

      Circa

      The length didn't get shorter, and I wish we could change it, but we can't, as far as I know. Kinda frustrating. You're right MoonDog. The people that buy really nice expensive instruments to learn are foolish. That happened to a friend of mine. Bought a really nice bass and a big marshall amp or something like that and decided he didn't want to learn after all.

      Skyrim is kinda...eh. Predictable, repetitive and fairly unbalanced. But that's just me. I'd much like to see Fallout 4 over a new Elder Scrolls MMO any day of the week.

      Battlefront was modeled around the gameplay style of Battlefield, so I'm honestly really excited for it.

    3. MoonDog

      MoonDog

      DICE is a good developer. EA is NOT a good publisher. The amount of pressure they put on dev's is stupid. Look at what it did to Mass Effect 3. That terrible ending is the product of EA's machinations.

    4. Onysfx

      Onysfx

      They say battlefront was actually inspired by the battlefield series. I hope that DICE pulls it off and keeps the feel of the original while adding in all the things that free radical did to make the game amazing. I DON'T WANT CUTSCENES TRANSITIONING FROM SPACE TO PLANET, IT'S NOT THE SAME!

  10. Anyone knows of a good non-conductive liquid? I thought about making a submerged desktop PC.

      Make a fish tank as big as you PC. Put you PC inside to protect it from the water. Then submerge the whole thing.

      Of course, everything works on it, not just software but hardware drivers as well.

      IrocJeff

      If you want to deal with headaches in software/hardware than get whatever OS you want.

       

      I dual booted for a while and I enjoyed Mandriva Linux, but, used XP more because most everything I used didn't work on Linux.

    4. minilogoguy18

      minilogoguy18

      Few things? I know someone that loves linux and they're always talking about all the things that don't work on it. You definitely won't be doing any serious modding on it either.

  12. I don't have a joystick. Is Resident Evil 4 worth getting without having one? I heard it's pretty bad with keyboard + mouse.

      I don't think you understand how the game works ping, it's designed for a pad. It's over the shoulder 3rd person. The gameplay in general is quite slow, enemies are sluggish, so you have time to move and aim around. Watch some youtube vids.

    3. minilogoguy18

      minilogoguy18

      Mouse and keyboard is generally better for this type of game but it was ported to the PC from console, it was designed around a gamepad. It doesn't have any real settings for mouse smoothing and speed.

    4. Ping

      @Jango40: I know very well how these games work and I can assure you that using m+kb is not a problem (and in fact it never is, but besides that, it's not a problem for resi4 in particular).

  13. I never thought that they would decide to revive a game like Age of Empires 2... If only that happened with this game...

      They also cut a good chunk of the "surface tension" chapter unfortunately. There's a separate remake mod that restores that. But even without xen and the separate mod, BMS is really REALLY good.
