Re: Re: bittorrent ?
They what do you call it then? It isn't DOSing...
Just wondering.
Back to playing!!! (That is why the thread is slow. 😉)

slashdotting...
I'm not going to be pedantic about the "definition" of a slang phrase like "slashdotting". Suffice it to say that as long as people who read what you write can understand what you mean, that's called "communicating".
I was also being a little facetious what with the pluralizationing and all... 🙂

had to come up for air sometime...
I don't think I've blinked in about an hour or so, so maybe I should take a minute off. My wife is giving me dirty looks anyway... It is, after all, her powerbook that I'm turning into a portable oven.
That brings up a good question - any way to harness the heat from the display hinges into a useful way - say cook brownies while you play? That would be great.
Oops, I mean that would roxors.

Re: Re: bittorrent ?
Sorry, but that is just not true. The term "Slashdot Effect" obviously got its name from slashdot.org, but it applies to any situation in which a website suffers a sudden surge in traffic due to being linked or referred to by another very high-traffic website or news source.
Sorry, I just had to clear this up. I hope it doesn't sound rude. 😉

I'm tempting fate...
On the TiPB 667/512/32vid - 28 fps w/ 3 guys in front of me, 60 fps with no traffic.
quite playable (and fun...) 🙂
here's the cool one...
G3 300MT (yeah, it's beige...) 192/ATI Mach64 w/ 6 megs of video ram (yeah, I know you're jealous...)
wait for it...
5 fps - no traffic.
? fps - traffic - couldn't play long enough to find out. I'm assuming it would fark it pretty good.

i've got some pretty crappy download speed from BitTorrent right now, but I am keeping it going. Another thing to try for those that can't seem to get a place is to login thru command line or something like Transmit to the FTP site that is linked...then manually navigate to the directory and request the file. this got me onto a semirespectable 10k/sec download.

i didnt find it in the console commands but try these.
/screenshot or just screenshot
/snapshot or just snapshot
if either of those work and you are getting the console in the screenshot, try to bind the command to a keystroke and then do it.
edit: i am now downloading it at 240k/sec (my max) due to the wonders of the command line GNUwget

Re: I'm tempting fate...
At work right now. Can't wait to compare this with my 12" powerbook. Mine has 32mb too, but its a GeForce 4 of some sort. HOPEFULLY, the game is cpu-bound and the 200mhz will help keep me neck-in-neck with your machine.

Oops, sorry guys... I will have to ppost screenshots tomorrow... My wife pulled the old "OK, I'm Tired." In the voice that translates into, Come to bed now, and stop keeping me up... 🙂
Re: I'm tempting fate...
I'm glad it runs decently on a 667 MHz TiBook DVI... that's what I have 😀
From my experience if you run something on the PC side with the specified requirements it usually runs quite poorly.
I've only played 1 processor intensive game on my TiBook since I got it 9 months ago (Quake) and Quake ran pretty nicely. People are always amazed when they see how nicely Quake runs on a computer that "only" has a 667 MHz processor. Megahertz myth? Nah...

eMac FPS
I've got a 700MHz emac that's just about dead on the minimum requirements but with an extra 256 RAM (512 total). I'm getting about 9 fps standard settings. Not very playable. My logitech trackball isn't very good for gaming either. I don't usually play games like this on my computer, but it's pretty cool. I've got too much work to do right now (6 page paper due yesterday), but maybe tomorrow I'll lower the detail settings to make it a little more playable and dig out my pro mouse. It is nice to have the extra buttons and scroll wheel though. I wish I'd gotten a mouse instead of a trackball. I used to love the trackpad on my powerbook, but this really isn't the same thing.
Anybody want a logitech trackball? Cheap!

I originally posted my FPS and it's weird how some people with less hardware are posting better frames then what I got. I just don't buy it. I even had all graphics turned down to a minimum. Come on people there's no reason to pad your numbers give us the real dope.
I agree that it feels very playable but it isn't fluid. That's why I checked the FPS in the first place and was astonished to see them below 30FPS so frequently and still be playable.
Is anyone playing on a server or serving themselves?

I don't like this game...
I can't play it on my machine (too...weak!) and it's taking everyone away from the forums, which have been my source of entertainment lately. 🙁
I guess I could get back to FoghornDeadhorn on B.net, he's this [ ] close to lvl 30, and has been for four weeks. I'm so neglectful.
You guys suck...(pout, pout, pout)
