Here is a little poem for you, if you have one of your own add it cause i am bored without the internet will check in as much as possible and add more…..

I woz ere
Now I’ve gone

Those who know me
Know me well
Those who don’t
Can go to hell

What did we do in the days when there was no internet?? can anyone remember?????

I CAN“T LOL

Having never grown up with a console myself ( a real modern upto date console i do mean..), the opportunity thrust upon me, if you will, to get the hang of one finally now has been interesting, but has mostly only confirmed much of what I already would have assumed about them.

Growing up with the PC ( Thank goodness for it too!), I had become accustomed to the concept of “modding”. Blessed is he, who strikes down on those with great vengeance, and furious furry shiny things out of place in a shooting game.
Always frusterated with the inconsistent frame rates with PC, not always having a state of the art graphics card, would just make you look in awe at the console and their seemingly “flawless” graphics, both in quality and smoothness.

Big thanks to Kazashi who gifted me with a steam copy of Half-Life 2 to play with.

Because I don’t “do” Windows, I had to find a way to run this, and Wine (http://winehq.org) provided the solution. Steam runs fine, and HL2 runs in 1680×1050 with all “High” graphics settings (without HDR lighting) at high framerates.

This also meant I could try out Insurgency, which I did with a little less success. The game runs fine, but the framerates are very choppy even with low low settings. I’ll be getting a minimal config and trying that at some stage. I’ve heard that beta 3 is a bit of a performance hog on Windows, wheras beta 2 wasn’t, so possibly future updates will make this more playable. Any comments from more experienced Insurgents?

L4D is also purported to run just fine on Wine these days, so I might break down and buy a copy (when I finish HL2).
