I wish they'd fix this retarded server lag for zOMG!

For whatever reason, you get a few hours at a time where it lags to death to the point it takes you 20 minutes to do what normally won't even take 5.  

[Missing00]

hey at least you get to play I cant even get on to the servers  

[Darkened Angel]

It likes to lag to Hell while loading for like 2 minutes too.

I didn't do the daily chance stuff last night because I was too busy laying in bed, feeling like crap, so I'm hoping it'll be fixed so I can do that before 3 AM tonight. ( 3 hours from now. )

So, I started playing Starfox Assault.

Nice

Today is depressing. StarCraft no longer works on my comp

Everytime I start it up, it runs in all kinds of messed up colors. It's stuck in a tiny window which Windows 7 has no way of nullifying. And, every so often, the game will freeze, levaing only the music playing, and force me to restar my laptop manually.

Blizzard says that Windows 7 does not support StarCraft, or Age of Empires II and Diablo. Hopefully that's a sign that StarCraft II is finally coming out soon.

The fact of the matter is, that after 11 years, growing up with the game, I can pretty much no longer play the game.

Yeah, same happened to me when I got this computer a month or so ago. Not sure if it's Vista or the video card I installed.  

[Darkened Angel]

I'm still using XP.

Shadow Watch didn't run on XP before, but this is a different version of XP, and the game works fine, which is great, because I missed being able to play it.

I haven't tried Starcraft, and I'm not really wanting to bother, since I wouldn't play it much anyways.

Time to move on boys...

Yeah, same happened to me when I got this computer a month or so ago. Not sure if it's Vista or the video card I installed.

I spent several hours looking up issues online.

Apparantly, it's a combination of the age of the game, graphics capabilities, and the way Vista and 7 operates their computer's appearance. Starcraft is played in 640x480, which Vista and 7 can't even adapt to. Vista can sometimes pull it off in compatibility mode (along with occasionally messed up colors), but it always fails with 7. Eventually the graphics fail on the game, causing it to freeze up, but the music to continue. I'm then forced to restart my computer manually.

I was reading random trope things, and a comment it made about Blake Stone 3D on the page for " Drop In Nemesis " made me realize something.

Blake Stone 3D is probably the 1st and only FPS game to ever have random encounters with the endgame boss.  

[Des Voh]

I also find it hilarious that the ESRB rated Blake Stone as M.  

[iKuumi]

I still play starcraft.

But it's difficult on a macbook, lol.

So I stay offline.

D:

Champions of Norrath is awesome though.

<.<

Saw avatar. Good movie, considering the year we had, but nothing to cry home about.

Okay, sure the graphics are great, but it was the same with King Kong. Just because it looks pretty doesn't gloss over the severe plot holes and misgivings of the plot. If you like eye candy, yah, it's neat. But it needed to either be broken up into two movies, or cut back. That, and someone needs to figure out who's brilliant idea says that "charge at an armored line of mechs with calvary" is. It was like the polish in world war one all over again...

Still, better than most we had this year (*cough GIjoe and wolverine*) that we were stuck witnessing.

I made it through the intro mission of Halo 3 ODST. I got the Boom! Headshot! achievement pretty much right off the bat.

I just don't get why space marines in full-body armor have fingerless gloves.
