gravity is still not out here.....from the trailer i d like to watch it soon though

For folk looking for a rather interesting 8 part TV miniseries to watch, checkout "Les revenants": English - 'The Returned' (or Rebound).
It was made by our French speaking brothers so you Frenchie friends of mine can watch it without subtitles! (if you haven't already seen it)
IMDB: here

Plot Summary:
The Returned opens in a small mountain community which is rocked to its core when several local people who are presumed dead suddenly re-appear at their homes. Despite having passed away some years earlier, these ghostly characters appear in human form, they have not aged, and they are completely unaware of their own fatality. Determined to reclaim their lives and start over, they slowly come to realize that they are not the only ones to have been brought back from the dead. Their return augers torment for their community when a series of gruesome murders bear a chilling resemblance to the work of a serial killer from the past. This is a homecoming like no other.

 

I very much enjoyed watching it and highly recommend it!

 Intersting to see some french series exported and appreciated on others contries because the french TV is full of US series and don't let too much place for local production.

This serie is actually played on a french private and paying tv channel named Canal+, who is the only channel who cast (and produce) some good french series even if I'm not myself an addict to series.

 

 

Yeah, im Kino und in 3D

Gravity release date is pretty different in certain countries. Some have to wait until nov or dec, for you french people it's one more week.

Managed to lure my friend to see Gravity in 3D, I thought it was pretty good :). Worth seeing for the 3D alone

thx Scythe....same to you

how are you bro?... long time....

Bl!tz: Yes, veeery long time I haven't been here. But finally I have done the graduation and now I have time for things I neglected before. I'm fine, thanks for asking, and how are you Bl!tz? Still playing UT3 or UT2004? I promise you I will visit UOF more often

yeah bro, the map is called "Last Eco", the game improoved a lot visually and lot of new stuff have been added:

-all maps completly revamped with more colors and effects

-new interface, more efficient and eyecandy

-new meshes, each with a new special ability: fe last one is predator, completly crazy with predator vision & invisibility...+ lot of lil sounds from the movie in bkground when u choose this mech

-new items, skins, customisations...

2 major patches have been applied with massive server browser problems....(quite fixed now) "ascension" first and yesterday "invasion"

the game is mainly focused on DM & TDM (at least both have success), several others game modes like invasion, siege, assault and even offline TDM trainning...each mech is specific with special abilities and lacks....heavy but slow....fast but light armor..repairing abilities but light weapons (needs to be cover by your mate while repairing em)..and each one is taking part in TDMs..the top thing is that u can change mech each time you die and addapt it to your team needs...DM is nice too but requires high skills to survive....what can i add....this game have one problem....maps arent that "exotic" , mainly industrial themes.... i d like to see space , ruins, lava and such

hats off for this indian cheap and free game, never thought i could be so impressed by the amount of work ,unexpected problems n peeps involved in the creation of a mech FPS through alpha ,closed beta and very open beta.....just insane!!

Good ta see ya drop by Scythe!

Hey Bl!tzy, what's the latest stuff in Hawken like? I haven't played it for ages.
They had a jungle map now if I recall?

*sigh*
The dilemma with UT3 Unreal Ed:
Additive maps crash a lot. I need an additive map.
Rebuilds: Bugged/crash; Moving stuff: Crash; Saving: Crash; Placing stuff: Crash; Breathing: Crash.
What the....

The problem:
Autosaves: Disturbing workflow as hell, provoking loss of meshes (because when you move them when it pauses to save you have a nice time trying to find it) and cause crashes of the editor once saved (not always, but sometimes, sometimes also with corrupted autosaves).
No Autosaves: Random crashes in editor (whatever you do, it may crash at any time), if you forgot to save due to intense work spent on something => Progress lost. Just happened... *sigh*

Luckily UDK isn't like that.

finaly tryed GOW3 on XBox 360 after all thoses years...not sure i ll try to find GOW 1&2 after this....aflicted.....no serious aiming (lol.... so much blood everywhere that it s like aiming with crappy glasses....+ that gow tremendous dot and that fraqn controller...)...ROFL at the voice of personages...retarded peeps? or perhaps it s just the french version....the story is hm....cant find the right word here...
how this have taken UT place no idea....but tbh if players prefer playing this kind of game i m not sure to understand why...

i tryed borderland2 and duke nukem on Xbox (i played both on pc previously) and yeah i find em more fun with the controller as they arent meant to be pure FPSs...

last one i grabed is ace combat assault horizon.... what a FAIL! .....if u played some previous opus on PS2 like i did.....nothing really improved except cinematics....the world/ground is still in 2d....just horrible......even the planes controls i found better in GTA5....you cant even roll a barrel on the sides now....incredible flop

i d like to try UT3 on it...is there a way to install custom stuff ? or was it only ok on ps3? cant remember to hear about xbox conversions....

Anyone ever tried 'manual downsampling' on their rigs?
www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php

EDIT: Tried it...works pretty good!

Nah what these instructions do is they tell the gfx card to always render to the screen at your monitors natural resolution however the 'back end' gfx are rendered at the l33t high custom resolution that you've set.
It's kind of like manual AA except AA usually only renders edges of 3d objects whereas this method renders everything at that ultra rez then down samples it to your monitors native rez.
BF4 looks very very nice running at 3200x1800 down sampled to 1920x1080! Had to turn off in-game AA though as my 660Ti's were struggling at that resolution.

It appears that older games get nice benefits from this method!  Give it a try Mate!

LPS that was some kind of a misunderstanding. I know what downsampling is and I've been already using it. In fact my pc hardware magazine of choice is praising this technique since many years.

What I'm saying is that not every 1920x1080 monitor can handle 3840x2160 downsampling. Just like my own which is fine with a 1,5x downsampling factor (2880x1620) but not 2x.

 Ahh kk!

I am fortunate with my BenQ 2040HD(or whatever it is).  It seems to be able to cope with downsampling 3840x2160 at 60h refresh.  Tried Hawken and the Next Car Game alpha at that rez and both ran  very nicely...and looked good too.

I seem to have really strange issues with UT2004. Whenever I try to join a server, it just crashes. However, some servers just... work.
And the log is the most useless thing ever in this weird case: It just aborts randomly. It is absolutely not clear what is causing it.

I tried a fresh install - didn't work. I tried to remove the dot from my name - didn't work.
This is... really confusing. Especially since Instant Action works just fine.
Anyone of you had that issue before?

Thanks for trying, Blitz. Until now still no results from my end either.

It's interesting that this happens on all of the UTzone servers (tried to join a small playing session and unfortunately couldn't even spectate it with a fresh install) but also some other random servers. Some work, some don't.
Maybe it's a mutator... or a server-actor causing this...

I know they use a special decal server actor projecting the logo of UTzone on specific spots on certain maps - I wonder if that could have caused this. But then again, it's basically a projector and I never had issues with those. Or maybe it is related to UTcomp or things alike... I really don't know.

Maybe I'll get in contact with some people on UTzone again and ask if they can do me a favour and remove mutators, then slowly readd them to one server... I hope to get this fixed.

Hehe, nice truck you got there uncle Blitz.
Is the number plate also customizable? If it would be, I would probably choose UT-4-EVA.

+1 if you still laugh everytime about the first post in this topic when clicking this topic open:

If its just me, then ya'll have no sense of humor!

I've had maybe 4 Razer mice, all of them had the double left click issue after no more than 6 months of use.

Sticking to Logitech mice now. Longer durability, cheaper and no annoying colored lights like on Razer mice.

 lol...i returned 5 Nova Slider mices for the same problem, they told it was due to the lazer sensor....(which i found a weird answer )

i have a Roccat kone+ since 3 years and it still working like a charm (even under my kids minecraft assaults)

.....and u can light off/on the colored leds.....and the voice telling you in what dpi mode u are after clicking

Wha...
I don't get it. Works like a breeze now, didn't even get to opening it yet and the issues are gone.

Not sure if I should still check into it or not. What if the issue returns once I open it?
