Every year Arenanet has fun with its players on April Fool's Day. Guild Wars and GW2 players will find their characters gender-swapped, or replaced with stick figures, or all kinds of things. Today I logged in and something looked a bit off ...  Edit: (I just noticed the NPC in the background too, that's great) (I posted it in this thread as I'm sure their support department is getting flooded with tickets) FreshFeesh has a new favorite as of 15:48 on Apr 1, 2014 |

scarycave posted:So, I finally played Oblivion again for the first time in ages, after having restart the game a billion times. You should try Oldblivion. It makes the game look and run much better on old or weak hardware. Such as actually having lighting.

Man, why don't people do that for every game? I'd love to play lo-fi everything and have it run smoothly on any old-rear end computer.

Time to upgrade, yes, but I've been in that position before where it's been time to upgrade for years but it's just not possible (being a high schooler with no job  )

I can actually play the game with some lighthing but I like to keep it low so my laptop doesn't freak the gently caress out. Definetly going to give that a try.

This was in 2010.

It's a strange thing. I presume the people bringing in those computers were baby boomer-ish in age? There's something they don't seem to get, in my experience, about the fact that computers just get old and worthless after a while.

I'm 26 and I only personally know about 2 people around my age with computers capable of running new games. Everyone else is either macbook or some piece of poo poo laptop running xp. futureproof has a new favorite as of 15:28 on Apr 2, 2014 |

I played through the new Shadow Warrior game on a video card just a touch too old to run it properly. I managed to finish the game this way. During cut scenes with lots of character animation, the character models would move a tiny bit faster than props in the world geometry. You don't really notice, until a character in a wheelchair moves several feet and remains sitting on nothing for a few seconds before his chair catches up. Or near the end of the game, two bad guys who are supposed to be in a getaway vehicle fly into view several seconds before the vehicle appears and clips through them. I may try to reinstall my old video card to get screenshots of this happening. I was laughing too hard at the time.

Not everyone who owns a computer is a hardcore PC gamer. To most people the computer is just another appliance. If it isn't broken and can surf the internet then why bother spending more money to upgrade. Hell, I used an Apple IIGS up until starting high school in 1996. My family was always behind the curve when it came to computers until recently.

Yeah, I pretty much have Oblivion installed on an old labtop - it physically can't run the fancy shaders. Also, I think Oldblivion looks kind of neat but every download of it seems to be malware.

I'd get that bug a lot with New Vegas and Fallout. I'm glad to see it's carried over to the "new" engine.

I've never got to experience the "eye pop" glitch intentionally, though I have managed to make it happen with some mesh editing. I think looks kinda cute. Just pop his eyes back in there and he's good to go.  "Watch now as I punch my very head into the heavens!...Nailed it!"

That Skyrim video reminded me that I encountered something weird (who would of thought). I was just finishing one of the main quests and had to talk to Delphine to continue. She wasn't in the hideout and when I turned around she was right behind me with a bunch of npc's. This is what happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGmu2BbUbWI I ended up having to do the reset ai console command since she became hostile to me and wouldn't de-aggro.

What were the specifics of that weird glitch where if you dropped a necklace or something on the ground entire towns would fight over it including families murdering each other?
