I would if GTA5 was free I wouldn't play GTA otherwise, and getting to listen to your soothing accent making dick jokes just isn't worth that kind of money, Archie. Not when I get experience the same dick jokes for free when you upload it to Youtube.

Well, if not owning F1-2014 isn't a requirement, well, I don't have GTA V either, so I'm still grounded by that. Sorry Archie, I assumed it was the F1 video I watched; slipped my mind that it was with GTA V...

Noted. I started this blog back in high school, and haven't really touched it in a few years, so it's maybe in need of an update. Changed the font to something more readable in the meantime.

Maybe it's because of the dark background, but I found that the monospaced font of your blog site makes it really hard to read. I added this to make it a bit easier on the eyes:

It's 78% positive reviews on Steam, 2much.
There are some things I don't like about it; I prefer the old dialogue system, for example, but overall I'm loving it. The combat feels great, the world is expansive and interesting, the AI is much improved and the crafting and building aspects are surprisingly robust.
It's far, far too easy on normal difficulty, but once I ramped it up to hard it feels much more like New Vegas did on hardcore mode. Much more fun and challenging. There are fights you literally just can't win unless you play it super smart, and I love that. On normal difficulty I wasn't even considering whether I could take a fight or not - I just went in as a one-man-army all the time and never had any trouble.
Also something I think has been largely looked over is the sound design. The sound effects are vastly, vastly improved. Every surface feels unique and real, and bullets whizzing by your head are exhilarating!
17 hours in, still very, very much enjoying it. Occasional bugs are frustrating and require a restart, but it's not been enough to prevent me enjoying it.
If you liked Fallout 3 and New Vegas, you'll like this. If you didn't, you won't. Simple.

its got an endless line of red reviews on steam, i think that means it is different from the previous titles. Looking thru it, I noticed recurring themes of 'only 4 dialog choices at almost all times', 'crappy console port', 'wasteland cod', 'OP stuff early' and stuff. Looks like it had been dumbed down for the kids with lots of features removed. Nobody was impressed by the building feature. Discuss?

As much as I am interested in Fallout 4, I don't like the fact that my YouTube feed now contains nothing else. I'd rather experience the game myself when I get the chance to play it than watch other people do so.
I had a problem with a levelchange, maybe it helps someone what I found out.
I have three maps and the player traverses them in this order:
Map a Map b Map c
The transition between Map b and Map c didn't work because the trigger_changelevel from "map a" to "map b" had a wrong "New map name", like "Map C". So I guess The Value you type in for "New map name" is Case-Sensitive.

Congratz on making the leap. Arch is one of the best distros to fiddle around with. Haven't seen the x.org window manager in years im more than used to just the terminal interface.
Yeah once you go deep enough there's pretty much everything for everyone, and if there isn't you can make it yourself. Also performance compared to other OS'es is off the hook. Debian (my distro of choice) consumes virtually 0 resources when idle.

... aand browsing with opera:
At this point I've managed to configure Fluxbox. Opera seems to be the best tradeoff for resources while still being able to process Javascript(netsurf doesn't know js).
Apparently it's a whole world out there when it comes to Window managers, file managers etc.
Speaking about file managers(I installed PcmanFm), there are also console-based file managers. Kinda like the old norton commander stuff. While exploring the diversity, I stumbled upon Ranger, which has a creepy page right off the bat. Just scrolled about the page and I thought I see some weird word. No, no... I actually see it: caca-utils. I click on the link and arrive on the libcaca page.

I should be able but I lost my patience. Valve uses the Steam Console Client since 2013 to manage server installation, in theory making it as easy as running an apt-get/yum/pacman/whatever. Each server/game has an App ID, and HLDS(for Half-Life and mods like cs, tfc), having app ID 90, is notorious for a bug opened more than a year ago on Valve's github account. Since I can reproduce it, it's obviously not entirely fixed(or not at all).
SteamCMD downloads ~0.3% of the app, then craps its pants and halts. At one point it progressed a more quickl, but what you see in the image is after about 40 minutes of manual labor.

Strideh, if we promised to make Ant stop pretending he's Australian would you be able to deal with him?
+ Able to converse in English
+ Has TeamSpeak
+ F1 fan since a long time
- Don't own F1 2014
- IB life is killing me
Well, looks like I don't qualify, but I hope two others do it quickly so it can grow though.At least, that's what I predict their name will be by then. Just a guess.

Oh hey, they're finally finishing Starcraft II.
But, alas, I do not.
Pretty much all i wanted to see.
Mario Maker is where it's at right now.

As I said, the linux world is a wonder.

@DiscoStu: It's NetSurf.
Loved this!
