Probably until every copy of it somehow mysteriously corrupts itself.

COMIC SANS IS THE BEST FONT EVER

How many variations are there of Spinda in the first place anyway?

While nice for nostalgia, I can't imagine using a bitmap font as part of the OS appearance settings. Especially since some of them probably wouldn't handle being downscaled well...

Tsk, I wouldn't call it a game manipulator. It's more of a software toy with the Source engine. It doesn't really screw with any game directly, though it you can screw with it's contents.

It's ironically no longer a mod, but a commercial game and is only called Garry's mod for historical reasons. It's fun since it allows you to screw with the physics engine (and with the content of any Source-based game you might own. You will have always access to HL2 contents however).

The game costs ten dollars, and is well worth the money. There's still Garry's mod 9 to download at places, but it's both buggy and outdated (and requires Counter-strike source! The commercial version isn't as picky.). Besides the commercial version is way better anyway.

You have to kinda keep in mind that Garry's mod itself resembles HL2 the most. So anything HL2 related works perfectly, anything else is a bit so so. You can play with the portal levels for example, but it's pointless and some scripted events is broken. Team Fortress 2 levels works fine, but the levels will be stuck in a eternal setup mode (not a problem though, since you can just remove the props blocking the spawn).

One thing that's neat is that the Garry's mod supports LuA, so you can program mods for Garry's mod. Unfortunately, I hadn't tried out this myself and from what I heard the documentation is so-so.

It supports Lua scripting. I tried Garry's mod a few times but I had a lot of problems with things showing up as big red "ERROR" things.

---

Ah, yeah it's Lua, not Python.

Changed my post to reflect that. :V

And for some other content, uh, have fun in europe, home of the low gas prices.

I assume you're sarcastic.

Looks pretty, but it's also annoying as feck to read. :/

The idea is decent, but as people have pointed out, the sprites are scaled quite ugly. :/

This thread is crap.

The users are crap.

I'm planning to do a top ten thing for SNES games, and I will do it through voting. How the polls will be done isn't decided yet (might do some VS things where a bunch of game is bunched together into small groups that is voted on, ala gamefaqs.

Each person are allowed to nominate three titles. Nominating a title that already been nominated is fine, but is usually rather redundant.

Anyway, I nominate:
SMW2: Yoshi Island, Earthbound, Starfox

Well, since the idea was to have all new, non-trademarked replacement monsters, I'd say yeah.

---

Hmm, are they going to be based on the current pokémon, or just new made up ones?

As far I know, there's actually been some N64 music hacking. I think Dj Bouche even made a program that extracted the music of certain N64 games as midi. I might remember wrong though.

So no, you're not a pioneer.

Yeah both Idiots of Garry's mods are very Robot Chicken esque.

Make sure to check the deleted/bloopers scenes. There's one hilarious scene with gnomes in there that wasn't used for some reason...

I think a mix of both would work best. Of course, "inspired" monsters doesn't need to be carbon copies in terms of stat/moveset.

Apart from the ugly trees on the last screenshot (which you should probably just scrap), this hack looks rather intresting.

I cracks in the background, almost looking like a character could fall down in them. Are they just decorative, or you can actually fall in them?

128 megabytes of RAM is a little bit too small for Ubuntu, especially since recomended amount of memory is 192 MB apparently.

I found Ubuntu faster than Win XP, but that's on a 512 megabytes system... which is considered a small amount by today standards.

My personal opinion about Gentoo is that any performance gain you get isn't really offset by the time you invest by setting the system up. I also have a disdain for the elitism that seems to come from the Gentoo community against distros that is binary-based.

Hibernation and standby works well in Linux, although I wish hibernation didn't try to dump everything into the swap. It's bit of a pain when you have rather limited swap partition (that's the case on my laptop, since I don't have much HD space to begin with), but this might been fixed lately. If you try to hibernate, and the system realizes everything doesn't fit in the SWAP... it aborts the hibernation. :/

I'm not seeing the appeal running Linux on PS3, especially since I allegedly heard that the processing power is bit limited while you're running in the Linux mode.

That might have changed.
