One fun thing to do in UT2004 is to put 8 Spider Mines on a Manta, stick a grenade onto each spider mine, and then fly past an enemy. The cluster of Spider Mines + grenades kills anything within 10 feet.
Autofocus is shit, it takes a moment and only like sunlit subjects.
There is one advantage to my average camera: it's the size of two decks of cards unlike your hulking Canon OMG-Z SLR N9200. Sure, it may not be crisp, but 2272x1704 and the minimal JPEG compression setting (Superfine) gives me pretty good photos.
It's the default resolution of Windows XP so most people have that. If your websites require tedious scrolling, people will think they suck. Hydeph: there's far, far more 1024x768ers than 1680x1050ers.
I've noticed that. Most websites are optimized for 1024x768, so they're rather narrow at 1280x1024. That seems to be the rule that even godawful IE-only flash websites won't even break.
I suggest you take down your e-mail from your site, at least in mailto: form. I still get 50 spam e-mails a day because I left my e-mail address on my website for spammers to harvest.
Firefox & Opera support Javascript fine. I have never encountered a Javascript website that doesn't work in Firefox/Opera except yours.
In regards to "a plugin," you're confusing Javascript (a bastardised version by Netscape) with Java (something you can write full programs with, not just slide-out menus). This plug-in is installed onto your computer, not your browser, so any browsing willing to can use Java.
1: Everyone has to stop sniping at each other. If you keep on kicking up shit, you'll get covered with it.
2: It's rather dissapointing that the map vault only gets 1-2 entries a week, and these maps are first-timer's maps. It's be nice for members to start making some quality (short) single player levels. (Multiplayer servers lag due the distance between the US & AUS, and whole mods take epic amounts of effort to bring to completion). I'm going to start fixing up and extending my only map.
3. We need a permanent thread for meme pictures. I lost count of the number of threads hijacked by spammed cat pictures.
I thought this site was about Half-Life editing.
Edit: Yes, this layout was shamelessly stolen from The Hunter.
My computer from 1999 has a 10GB drive. Each of these games are massive for no reason. UT2004 was around 7GB, but it had shitloads of content. I guess there's no reason to save space when gamers are expected to have a 500GB drive :
I don't get how people fill up their hard drives. I've got a 120GB in my desktop which has 111GB of actual space. It's 50% full. 20GB of Steam games, 5GB of photos (5000 .JPGs), 5GB of music/ 2 rips of DVD to iPod video format, 5GB documents, and 12GB in system restores. The other 10 or so GB must be programs/ Windows system files.
EDIT: Tetsu0 bought a 60GB drive. Aha no wonder he's running out of space.
If those specs are correct, i'm in the comfortable zone.
Dell Inspiron 1520 with Vista Home Premium Core 2 Duo T7300 (2GHz) 2GB DDR2-667 Geforce 8600M GT 160GB SATA 7200RPM Integrated Sound
All for $1200, including shipping and taxes looooooooool. The next gen of DX10 games probaly won't run as well In fact, i'll probaly have to use medium settings if I was playable fps in DX10 mode.
