Elite: Dangerous / Elite Odyssey Announced
December 03, 2022, 01:12:16 PM
Quote from: albert;448637Stand clear...... :flasher:

Seems the final part of the Odeyssey Saga has dropped. I read through some of the lore, having not played any of it, and it seems that there is quite a lot of narrative leading into it and the whole Thargoid threat. It might be something that a group can work through and get a richer story experience, although still non-linear of course.


That narrative just hit and has changed up a bunch of things near the Bubble.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 / Hi there

Quote from: Blunt;306581Rabbi  Bob was summat to do with them I think, if it was the same one:)

That's the one!

Quote from: acidrainy;306578FR25 was the UK CoFR hangout, pretty sure all the CoFR servers are called FR###.

I seem to remember names like SoReal and Norrander?  

I was "Bubbles" back then... Oh the Jokes... Especially when I would fly a chopper around a BF2 map with a guy called Soapsodger in the gunner seat. :p  Ahh good times. :)

I remember Bubbles!  Yep, FR is the designation and we currently have one US based BC2 server, but apparently no EU one. Soapdodger and NorrinR are still about, haven't seen SoReal in awhile.

I hadn't checked in on the dMw forums in quite some time and am glad to see there is a BC2 server available, I'll add it to my favorites.  Cheers!

Quote from: Luminance;286904I so loved the anime, can't wait to see the movie

Edit:

Hmm this isn't avatar the last airbender movie (link didn't work for me, so I tried google and found another movie called avatar said to be released in dec 2009 lol, which wasn't true, its 2010 :()

Yeah, that's the M. Night Shamallama live action Avatar movie.  Hopefully he doesn't bunk that up (finishing up season 3 with my kids right now actually).

The free trial will include access to the recently released Survival Pack DLC, which introduces a new multiplayer game mode and two additional Versus campaigns. Those who wish to give L4D and the Survival Pack a try may now pre-load everything needed to play with no obligation to purchase.

Quote from: Lexander;273055Blizzard downloader is P2P or did you mean that?

Blizzard Downloader uses BitTorrent.  

Also, of interest, Valve hired Brahm Cohen, creator of BitTorrent before HL2 was released.

Apple / Alternatives to iTunes?
March 19, 2009, 09:44:59 AM
Unfortunately I broke my ipod a couple years ago and after that I never went back to Apple, so I'm not 100% sure outside of reading about the features of this working with ipods:

I use MediaMonkey under Vista\XP to manage my music collection and it also supports mp3 player syncing.

http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/07/08/how-to-use-mediamonkey-to-manage-your-ipod/

For my mp3 players (Sansa E250 and E260), I wrote a perl script to handle syncing to it and keeping it up to date with the podcasts and music I want on it.

It's my Birthday! / GMail - I didn't know that.

Don't forget you can use

yourname+@gmail.com

So sending an email to "yourname+deadmenwalking@gmail.com" would make it to the inbox of "yourname@gmail.com".  You can use this for tracking purposes when registering for online services and you'll know if you get spam mail from some other place where the email address was harvested from.
