I can't recall which one, but in one of the Summer Games Done Quick runs this year the runner replaced a load screen with that just to give the tech guys an aneurysm.

It was Bioshock. Pretty great when it happened.

Oh! Hey. Almost missed this thread. Glad the username caught my eye.

I'm not a terribly huge fan of FPSes (mainly because I'm not very good at them), but this certainly looks interesting at least. I'm sure I might wind up buying it during a Steam sale for posterity, at some point, as I have many other games.

In the meantime, this should be a fun watch.

Word of advice, the game is optimized like garbage for lower end system. My old hunk of junk runs a GTX 560 and the game couldn't even load the title screen. What I get for actually buying games. :v:

I have similar specs (basically an i7 instead of an i5) and it doesn't run great, I need to try it with the new patch though.

Let's just say that the dashcam videos are true.
That said, Romania (or specifically Bucharest, I've only been to Bucharest) is definitely worse than anything Eastern Europe can dish out in the crazy drivers department, but they don't seem to be using dashcams a lot.

I like the one where some dumb chick decides to cut off a truck and predictably gets hit in the rear, then proceeds to lose her poo poo over this and call her mom for whatever reason.
It became a meme in the Russian part of the Internet back when.

My first computer games were greenscreen monitor educational stuff like Think Quick and Where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego (the first one). When we got a color DOS system (486 I think, maybe 3) we played the QBasic games hidden on there, Nibbles and Gorillas, and the older brother of the girl next door taught us some programming to make the computer ask what game we wanted to play and run it (assuming we had the disk in). The first time I saw Wulfenstien 3D, it was on the floor display of a computer store to show off the system's power and graphics.

Not slinging some e-peen around, I'm just fascinated by how much things have progressed since then. I haven't grown up in the internet age, I grew up WITH the internet age.

Yea, I can remember when PC games came in big fancy boxes (to hold all the 5 1/4 floppy's the game came on). When having VGA graphics was considered worth advertising on the box. Back when sound cards were optional equipment and games had to be configured for them.Seeing how tech can change over a 10 or twenty year period is quite amazing.

Okay, unrelated. I've had a request to make the codex images a bit larger, so that they are easier to read. I don't want to make the size of the images themselves larger, because they're already at the upper limit of the archiving size (which is 900px wide, if I recall correctly), and I don't want to resize them all back later. So, I tried to stretch the images instead.



Does this look fine to everyone? Or should I just increase the image size after all?

For comparison:

How I posted the images from the first update


How it would look at 1000px
