They are. They made it an always online "social" (Facebook-ish) game. They just took the always online part away after the SimCity scandal, but it still affected the entire game.

[Jimmy]

You didn't get the joke. You said the new one will suck... I was implying they all suck.

[Fox]

Oh.

[High Treason]

It's better than second life. I got banned from that because a portal thingy teleported me to unplayable space, my game crashed but the e-mail I got said I had affected some server for everyone. This was less than an hour in. The ban was lifted but I won't be playing that again.

[Fox]

Apparently the developers are trying to justify the lack of features due to the lack of time. That sounds like bullshit for a game with a budget like this.

Ken just released a new engine this month, voxlap-ish with some GPU advantages. It includes texture mapping, and a new Octree based voxel format.


^ Thats a lot of voxels, 4096 ^ 3 if I read right.

Just wanted to share my vinyl collection. I started collecting vinyl records more than a year ago, and today I have 100. I'm proud of the collection, since original vinyl is quite rare and expensive in Russia. Today I bought three albums, one of which is Gang Of Four's Hard. Very hard to find this band in Russia, and somehow I found it by accident for dirt cheap, hehe.

Anyway, here's the collection. If you like these albums too, please add me as a friend on Last FM.

pretty cool. there some good ones in there.

the only vinyl i have left are the first five Iron Maiden albums; I gave the rest to my brother who has a massive collection (probably in the couple thousand range). He didn't like Iron Maiden at the time so he didn't want them; Now he loves Iron Maiden and he can't have them.

I spent some time today snaking a 75' Cat6 through my house. I had been using a wireless adapter on my desktop for the last year because the house is not wired with a patch panel.

Well, it was worth it. I went from about 2Mb/s to 20Mb/s. Of course, I'm paying for 50 but thus is life...

Youtube is acting up today. I seem to be getting a lot of "An error occurred. Please try again later" lately. Or I'm trying to load a video at 720p, but it'll get grayed out, and I can only watch it in 480p. I have those network tweaks I put in months ago, but they don't seem to work anymore. Maybe I changed something by accident.

[High Treason]

How about this;


For me, the length changes to 0:00 but the video seems to play fine... My flash player keeps crashing though so that may have something to do with it.

Same.

I tried uploading two videos last night, they both told me that it couldn't convert the format.. Wtf.. It's the same avi format I have always used.

[High Treason]

You didn't use XVid encoding by any chance did you? It seems to have taken rather a dislike to that lately.

The biggest laugh I have had is when it has claimed to be unsure of the format of a H.264+AAC file in a .MP4 container which is basically the format they use anyway and is almost certainly on their list of recommended formats.

[Hendricks266]

That's why I upload all my videos in PCX.

[The Commander]

I just use WMM and export the videos using the Zune HD option which has always worked.

My upload speed sucks so I try to use the best format which will give me the lowest file size but the best quality... I am yet to find this best option. I need Rodney McKay's compression algorithm.

Did you run out of silly pictures or something so you are resorting to smileys now?
