    QUAKE II Returns! Play the Enhanced Release Today

    Depending on where you get it, you may have to add it your cart, but it's at no charge. I got mine from GOG, and at the time, had not purchase the digital version of Q2.

    QUAKE II Returns! Play the Enhanced Release Today

    I view Q2RTX as an equivalent to Winquake/GLQuake for modern times; It's a binary replacement for the most part. Enhanced does include a new expansion and the N64 maps. Not to mention that enemies have way better AI and some of them, if not all have some sort of new move. They took some things...

    MSI 3x ventus oc or Gigabyte windforce 3x oc?

    When it comes to cooling, I had a hard time finding water cooling products for the Windforce 30x series. You will probably have more options for the Ventus. If I'm wrong, please link!

    Hex-Editing Prerequisites

    Program files, in particular a Windows game executable. I'm guessing mostly program code. I'm trying to get data within the program code such as Console variables/commands and additional command line arguments that are part of the engine. Currently I'm trying to find the parts where the CD-Check...

    Hex-Editing Prerequisites

    I'm trying to understand how to use Hex Editors when it comes to non ASCII-character related bytes to see what the program is doing. Seems like most tutorials I come across are just getting to string messages. They do teach how to use the hex editor and understanding binary/hexidecimal, word...

    Epic Games Removing/Removed Unreal Series from Online Stores

    There should be a way to setup your own master server to report other servers online. The other servers just need to link to your master server. There are other Unreal based games that let you change the URL to the master server in the Main INI file, which is usually the name of the...

    Rumors raise the doubt that Google Stadia service will last much longer.

    Arcades still a thing: That's good to know! Just not where I am. At least we have the barcades.

    Rumors raise the doubt that Google Stadia service will last much longer.

    This strategy of cloud gaming makes me think they're trying to revive the Arcade business style: Paying to play games you don't own, and probably never will. The arcade business practically became extinct when consoles became formidable gaming machines and no one wanted to leave the house to...

    How do you buy your HDDs?

    Yeah I started getting WDs for those Raptor drives. Those were some fun drives! I guess of the bad stories I've heard of Seagate and WD's warranty makes me keep getting them. Was gonna try getting one at the store to see what my luck is with that.

    How do you buy your HDDs?

    I'm not having any immediate or current issues with the HDDs I have now. Just sharing my experience from what has happened to me. All the DOAs I got have been replaced and all the hard drives that failed are sometimes within warranty and those get replaced as well. I still haven't bought any...

    I've been having DOA/Failing drive issues with Western Digital drives. Was thinking maybe this could be I'm buying them online? I've heard bad stories about seagate, but every external HDD I bought seems to work just fine. Just the internal WD drives I tend to have issues with. Was wanting to...

    Is gaming as we know it finite or will it keep changing ?

    What kind of drama are you referring to? Is is for newer games that don't necessarily have that community feel? There can be good drama and bad drama. Good drama is rivalry with the opponent. But now most online games are team based, and your rivals are your teammates :confused: Extremely hard...

    Is gaming as we know it finite or will it keep changing ?

    There is a factor of the type of gamer. IMO, online gaming extends the life of the game and is completely dynamic; there's always someone better than you, at least for a period of time. Modern online games change the way the game plays(Seems like on a monthly basis). Although these changes can...

    TPU's Nostalgic Hardware Club

    You could still use larger storage, but you would just need to have a partition of 2GB for DOS, correct? It's been a very long time, but at one point I was able to successfully multiboot DOS 6.22/Win98/XP. I think multiple paritions were definitely involved. From what I remember, the way I set...
