Monitors monitors monitors...

Submitted by Fuzz on Mon, 09/06/2008 - 17:48

Since the beginning of time I’ve used a CRT monitor, and for the last few years it’s been a 21” Sony trinitron CRT. It does a great res (2048×1536, or 1600×1200 as its optimal res) so I’m used to a fairly high res and get a little antsy when I don’t have heaps of screen real estate.

Well, the 21” CRT is to put it nicely past it’s best so I’m on the market for a new monitor. I’m well aware of the advantages of CRTs for gaming, but not many of them are made these days and I don’t think I’d trust buying one off ebay that was probably made as long ago as mine.

So it will be an LCD, but hopefully one that’s suited to gaming. I’d love to hear what everyones using for a monitor on their gaming PC’s and how they find it. Any advantages / disadvantages of one brand over another. Anything specific you would say to get or not to get. Pretty much anything to do with LCD’s, gaming and general usage, I’d be interested in hearing.

etqwpro 0.55b needed for this weeks prac

Submitted by Fuzz on Mon, 09/06/2008 - 17:27

Hi guys,

This weeks prac against tW will be on etqwpro 0.55b mod. This was only just released earlier this month so it’s unlikely anyone has it yet. Please make sure you have installed it and checked it works before tomorrows prac. As usual, attendance is marked on the practice page, not here.

ETQWPRO 0.55b download: http://myhannes.info/ccount11/click.php?id=30
Changelog for 0.55b: http://myhannes.info/wiki/index.php/Promod_0.55_changelog

Installation instructions – haven’t installed it yet, but assume it’s the same as the last version. Extract into the directory where your mods go (for me it’s My Documents\id Software\Enemy Territory – Quake Wars\etqwpro).

We’re using pro this week as tW have a prac against #S’ coming up on pro, but it will be good practice for us too.

Seeya’s then.

Regards,
Fuzz

Vote Quimby!

Submitted by ltmon on Tue, 03/06/2008 - 17:05

Dragon at GA has posted a poll for settings for next season of ET:QW, as the conversation surrounding it devolves into a nice flamefest. It’s not clear if this vote will be “definitive” but I think it’s just a way for the gameops to get a quick idea of how people in the ladder are thinking.

The polls involve:
– Restrict deployables or not
– Restrict radar or not
– Restrict heavy weapons or not
– Restrict bumblebee or not

You can find it here:

On the Rain-Slick Precipe of Darkness

Submitted by ltmon on Sun, 01/06/2008 - 18:03

A mini-review of the demo of the game hereby refered to as OTRSPOD.

OTRSPOD, a game developed by “Hothead Games“http://www.hotheadgames.com/ has as http://www.hotheadgames.com/it’s main drawcard the artwork, writing and characters from the folks at “Penny Arcade“http://penny-arcade.com. Also it is one of the lametably few games that run natively on Linux and Mac (hence my interest).

Dusk - Zombies for ETQW!

Submitted by Hashy on Sat, 31/05/2008 - 22:17

http://community.enemyterritory.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27041

Someone suckered me into playing this last night. It was fantastic hahahha. I highly recommend everybody get into this.

Im keen on putting a petition together to ask Games Arena or Internode to host a server for this.

I really do hope it stays in development, and that we keep the support behind it.

Was a welcome change of pace to be chased around by mindless zombies opposed to stroyent hungry strogg troopers =\

Calling all tech support

Submitted by Sha8doW on Sat, 31/05/2008 - 17:22

Howdy gang, im looking for some advice, ideas, experiance and am thanking in advance!

am at my inlaws at the moment (Their PC) and have brought my laptop like always, not connected to the net like always, i play some of the very few single player games which i have on my machine.

im playing Age of Empires 3, everything is hunky dory when, blue screen of death. trying to remember the error in the WTF haze im sure it was somthing like.
critical hardware error, partial memory, system shutting down. then the computer restarted.
OMG.. worst thing that can happen on a laptop… lines accross the screen that wont go away appeared!
then as normal windows loads, but when its supposed to go into the regular windows screen, the screen turns black and NOTHING… not even the OMG lines anymore (i know windows has loaded cause i hear all the nomal sounds like skype, macafee, trillian and other programs starting etc. I just cant see anything)
