Beautiful and eerie piece from CoD:WaW conveying the brutality of ww2. You can hear the Sirens calling (in German, if you can understand). It's really cool, because I didn't notice the vocals had any meaning when I was playing the game (a long time ago).

Even a cheap 90$ steel plate can take quite some punishment with 5.56 and at least one .308 round from a hunting rifle from ~30 m. And all that in almost the same spot, before metal fatigue lets it down:

An interesting game where you're a customs officer of a dystopian country: cross checking information which must conform to ever more demanding rules, while racing against time to process as many people as possible, to keep your salary high enough to pay for food and heating for your family. Who would have thought this could be interesting. Free beta: http://dukope.com/ It's coming to Steam.

A sequel to Metro 2033, but definetly better. Like the predecessor it's linear, but very well made: beautiful visuals (the best I have seen in a game so far), with plenty of attention to detail, the story is interesting and the animations are excellent. Looks like they've tried to animate as many things as possible, which is a big plus from me. The gameplay has mechanics like customizable weapons, gas masks with degradable filters (a filter lasts ~5 min), a hand rechargable flashlight and stealth kills. Although the stealth aspect is highly improbable, it's much fun - you can "Sam Fisher" yourself through a large portion of the game where humans are your enemies.

Beautiful. I wanted to see more turret spinning in the video, though. :)

Oh, yeah! The most expensive free game ever. :D

Complaining about the game not arriving on time I can understand. Complaining about the morality of 'paying for a mention in the credits' I can't. You are free not to pay the extra. Cry me a river.

Never played this, just heard the music in a video. lgHogUJOY5A

Right click on flash player (any video), go to settings and uncheck "hardware acceleration" somewhere in there. Fixed it for me (285 gtx). Seems like flash player + graphics card acceleration don't couple well (at least on some cards).

If you are playing MP CTI, which i presume you are, then the most probable explanation is: The tunguskas are operated by other human players. If the tunguska is relatively expensive in a particular CTI mission you are playing, then a player will prefer to control it himself. It's fun. Sit yourself in driver's seat and drive just behind the defensive line, ideally friendly armor is in front of you and the horizon is low. The armor protects the front line and you, while you protect the armor. Switch to gunner's seat and turn the engine off ;). The area is now safe from any average player manned aircraft and from experienced players unaware of you. After shooting down an experienced player, relocate asap.

I want to be able to manipulate (particularly stop) specific sounds without elaborate workarounds. handle = playSound "soundName"; 0 fadeSound handle;

Ehehehe. :D

The best way to drive with a mouse is still to switch to 3rd person, double-tap alt so you can look around freely and drive using wasd.

Do you have HDR set to high? I notice a loss of picture quality if HDR is set below high.

You reminded me of what I was listening to a lot last year.

A parody of "Facebook parenting" which shows how ridiculous and childish the original is. The father's impression is excellent. :D 53lb5hXYGxQ

It is - sometimes it's useful to know the definitions :D. Like you said, pressing the RMB increases the (apparent) angular diameter (the angle depicted on your sketch, usually measured in radians) of an object. The larger the angle at which you see the object, the bigger it seems to you. The factor for which an optical device increases that angle is called angular magnification/zoom. As someone else noted, binoculars and telescopes usually have their magnification specified as angular magnification (as opposed to linear).

Sure. It's just that in my experience Intellisense works better with VC# than VC++. Since C# is Microsoft's own design, they have put more love and care in it? Or do you (people with more experience) feel differently? I like the pretty colors :D. Makes it easier to orientate.

A C# fan here, mostly because of Intellisense and auto-formating. It does make life easier.

I like the movement and the simplicity. It's harder to make stuff simple. There are many ways to make things complicated, but only few to make them simple.

Because arma2.com does not mention upgraded Chernarus, which would be a major selling point, explicitly. Just two new terrains. I am not certain though, that's why I'm asking. My thoughts exactly.
