Does anyone know much about this? It caught my eye when I saw it but I'm still on the border about buying it. It seems to work using the vid card's depth buffer so most games should automatically work with it but seems dependent on the display having a refresh rate of 120hz which might eliminate some configurations out there. The pricetag of $200 isn't bad either. I've heard of play testing with left 4 dead working really well so far.

The concept of this game looks interesting, and the style is a nice change of pace. Has anyone heard much about this?

« on: October 23, 2008, 12:05:42 PM »A refrigerator can be air tight when closed, it's the thermal contacts with the evaporator and condenser units inside and outside that makes the fridge cold. If all the external parts are also lead-lined, and if that lead is enough to shield the radiation, then the only issue is the heat itself. The walls of the fridge are probably air filled like a thermos, and since air is a poor conductor of heat, it would makes thermal conductivity of the fridge walls low. Since the fridge was a mock fridge for that mock town, then the compressor pipes might have also been filled with just air so it may have not conducted enough heat into the fridge during the blast. Also, from memory, Indy was burried a bit after the blast. The burying may have insulated the heat further.
Air tight =/= radiation proof. The fridge is going to have way too many spots where lead doesn't even cover let alone be thick enough to stop the radiation. What is this the 50s? Should I cover my head and hide under my desk to stay safe ?
That's true that air tight =/= radiation proof but that's why I made a point about being lead lined. If the whole thing was lined with lead such that it pretty much forms a closed lead shell, including condenser pipes and all, and if the lead were thick enough to ward away the radiation then I could kinda see it being enough to save Indy.

« on: October 21, 2008, 01:55:16 PM »What person in their right mind could possibly let this go to production. Did they watch the first 3 movies? The ark of the covenant and the holy grail belong to god. If you believe in god you believe in the fact that he created the universe, the earth, and man in his image. How can anyone smart enough to dress themselves not see aliens as a conflict in a mutually exclusive system like that. Window licking mother fucking retards.
And don't get me started about surviving a nuclear detonation inside a refrigerator.
I came away from the movie thinking they were playing with the idea that the mayan and egyptian pyramids were somehow influenced by aliens. It kind of followed the theme of the movies, from raiders of the lost arc to the last crusade. It did, though, break the theme of ancient myths by adding high tech aliens and all of that, but it didn't seem like too much of a stretch.

This guy has to be right, after all he's quoting the Bible. The BIBLE! That and it being on the internet makes it true. One thing though, I don't see any American flag lapel pin anywhere so it isn't as patriotic of a website as it could have been.

For rpgs knights of the old republic 1 and 2, and neverwinter nights 1 and 2 are really good. Personally if travelling metal slug on a psp is pretty fun. If you have someone to play with knify spoonsies is pretty kick ass as well though you would need a knife and a spoon for that.

This has got to be the greatest game ever! Much better than World of Warcraft.

That's a pretty slick interface, but the game itself kinda sucks. Kinda really sucks. There seems to be so many different rules and pieces that it becomes more a matter of trying to identify what the pieces do rather than where to place it.
