And so after 4 years The Matrix Online ended... The final moments were quite like those from Hellgate London and Tabula Rasa. (*sigh*, I've been in three End of the World events this year). Well this time however the guys from giantbomb.com made also a live straming of the final moments on the Vector-Hostile server...
During this month I took some time passing some more levels from Plants vs Zombies, Eets and Flock. Played and finished Sherlock Holmes: Mystery of the Mummy (with a massive help of a walkthrough, *sigh*, difficult game, and kind of frustrating). Playing some Sims Stories and Spore during the last week. Hopefully I can start working on my Neverwinter contest for Bloodzone this week.
Now some things going on in my head...
ATI still sucks in OpenGL, Catalyst 9.6 brought a lot of bluescreens 0x116 on OpenGL games. Latest one was Enemy Territory Quake Wars. At least Catalyst 9.7 seem to be working O.K. so far. (I wonder if Second Life got fixed too)
Windows still eats files. After one bluescreen, I noticed that my xfireuser.ini and history.dat went missing (or at least were reduced to 0 bytes). Fortunately these times Shadow Copies are good for damage control. However I wonder if there were more files I lost and I'm not aware of the fact. There should be a tool that could be run after a bluescreen that can check Shadow Copies vs Disk and detect possible lost files. (Is Microsoft listening?)
Wikipedia. Read about some game yesterday that is seems to be getting popular around here. Even though I was not interested into playing it, I got curious and tried to get some info about it, and tried Wikipedia. There wasn't an article neither about the game nor the company that developed it, both articles were deleted some time ago. (Both were marked for speedy deletion because of "lack of notoriety"). It's sad to be reminded that one of the persistent flaws of Wikipedia is that sometimes it seems that some parts of it are administered by a group of smug people living in small boxes and whose concept of "notoriety" is "whatever they are interested into".
This is all for now.
