damn free f'n servers (i'd run it off a home server, but I just don't trust y'all! :)
This is the lovely screen of how anarchy looked to me lately (that comp is now dead, dead, dead!)
I saw somewhere in the forums a question of screen layouts, well, here are mine!
This one was on me original card (which i finally burnt to a crisp, the main reason I hadn't played anarchy for awhile... :/ )
On friend's "loaner" replacement grafix card layout stayed pretty much the same, but added "org" window... Can't give a screen of that atm, you'll see why later...!
Went and bought new geforce card, was diggin' the slightly higher res, until......... the instabilities and frequent crashes! (see first pic above)
Then comp died - power supply, cpu and mb, I believe... i'll have to get some new parts to determine which sometime... first priority, build new system, then see if dead system can be salvaged, and turned into a new linux server :)
So, now I've taken my tv (dell pII, 8MB ati rage), and equipped it with a dusty voodoo 3000 (yeah, the only card i never burnt LOL), and get to play AO like this:
can't play on my laptop anymore, which is too bad cause i finally got gprs for it awhile back - internet anywhere!
Will have to add more screens when i build the new system... maybe some of the failed laptop screens, too, lol! but not tonite!
next day update:
Well, i lasted one day (actually, an entire 20 minutes maybe) of playin like that, before it occurred to me: hey, comp store is open! So I ran out and equipped the PoS p2 i'm using for the time being with a 128MB radeon 9200 - cause it was the only thing the comp store had in plain ole pci! LOL. but it works! enuff to play, anyway!
So, now i'm playing like this (and havin a beer to celebrate), blinkin the gui on and off like crazy still... can't wait to get back to at least 1280x1024 again, tho...
lol, so in the last month or two, I've been thru my original geforce2 gts pro 64MB, to an old Voodoo3 3000 16MB, to a radeon 7000 64MB, to a geforce 5200 128MB, to a 3d rage pro 8MB, back to the voodoo3, and now a radeon 9200 128MB, and a burnt out workstation! Computers are fun!
and that's the end of my pointless, and probably incoherent story!
