Q3 is all about twitch gaming. There's very few better, if that's
what you're into. If you slowed down the movement speed, it would
suck.

Forceflow: I got Steam working through Wine in SuSE once, but there were some serious performance and stability problems with the games. IIRC Half-Life worked okay as long as it didn't crash, but anything on Source was unplayable. What are you using to run Steam and have you had better luck?

I would, personally, say that the Nintendo 64 was the most disappointing Nintendo system (besides the Virtual Boy). But that's probably because I grew up with the NES and SNES and nothing on the 64 can even compare to some of the awesomeness created for those two systems. There are games on GameCube, and now Wii, that throwback to that style. At least they're starting to feel like they used to. Back when games were fun and not a popularity contest.
Whenever I get a Debian/Ubuntu box up and running I think I'll try out one of those source releases of Cedega. It's suppose to have pretty nice support for HL2.
I got my new laptop in the mail yesterday, while the laptop it self is something sweet, I am so far very unimpressed by Windows Vista (Home Premium). With in the first 2 hours of using the OS I had a corrupted user and a BSOD (they were unrelated) and endless complications with encrypted wireless.
It's like the first time I've actually thought, "maybe I should run Windows update ...".
The other thing that's really bugging me is that not only is Vista 32-bit, it doesn't optimize dual core. Tsk tsk. Setting everything to both cores is so ridiculous and optimizes nothing, nor can you move over important tasks to another core once they've began.
So, what was the big push here exactly?

I loved the 64 (probably due to my age). In my opinion Perfect Dark multi player was only surpassed by Halo and CS:S. but it's like CS:S is almost in a different gonra.

The big push is the same as it was for WinME Crono. LOOK PRETTY COLORS! IT'S SHINY AND NEW SO YOU SHOULD BUY IT FOR X00 DOLLARS. What kills me is that one of the major features windows has lacked since windows was windows, a root-esque password protection on making changes to the system, gets turned off by almost all Vista power users because it gets tripped erroneously more often than it prevents an action its meant to.
I read an article a couple months ago about how Microsoft was heralding UAC as an 'industry-leading innovation'. Yeah... right, bring your OS up to par is neither industry-leading nor innovative.
Thanks for the Cedega CVS tip guys, I'll try it out tonight. Any luck getting Hammer up and running, by any chance?
