I made a mistake.. (Hardcore) by HutchRedditin Diablo

[–]apfhex 1 point2 points ago

Think there is an afk timer but it's lengthy. Happened to a friend when they went off to do something with the game paused in the middle of a dungeon.

Tribes Streams Need better Camera Work and Commentary. This needs to be addressed. by aManCalledStigin Tribes

I think it could be cool to have a first person view in the corner (picture in picture), or maybe a secondary stream that focuses on player views.

They must be working with Magneto.

Oh, very nice!

[–]apfhex 0 points1 point ago

Still waiting for a good browser extension that can disable/hide comments on a wide variety of popular sites (Youtube, Verge, etc.). It's probably not feasible but I'd like to have one nevertheless (I know there are some for Youtube but that's just one site). I dread scrolling down a little too far and accidentally reading some of them.

First time playing this franchise and I agree wholeheartedly. by another_guy_montagin gaming

It wasn't until Ch 10 I think (whenever you get to the zero-g basketball) that I found out you could throw things with kinesis, and even then I had to go look it up in a FAQ. =/

Should make the button actually do nothing except bring up a dialog that says "Please do not press this button again" with a Yes/No confirmation.

Soon there will be two of them, for 20 seconds and unskippable. They're to "educate" you on piracy.

Quality Playtesters From Valve by LickMyAssholein gaming

I... had no idea this even existed. Sounds like a good reason to play through some of those games again though.

I fucking love the touch scrolling w/inertia (works like iOS), it's just so much nicer than a wheel. Combined with free 3rd party software to give it a good middle click (which to me is more reliable and easier to use than a scroll-wheel click, since most mice seem to have terrible wheel clicks) and I think it's a genuinely good mouse. Kinda sucky for gaming, but [insert joke about Macs and gaming.]

I hated the Mighty Mouse with the scroll nipple though.

Dear True Gaming: having just got a new netbook I decided to plow through all the indie games I've purchased. Is a main selling point of indie games that they're very hard and repetitive? by MontyAtWorkin truegaming

[–]apfhex 0 points1 point ago

I beat it with the regular Wiimote, it was definitely not comfortable. But not overly difficult either. Probably would enjoy it more with a better controller though.

I thought it was almost at the end of the game.

Hey Hi-Rez: Stop doing content packs and fix the UI by Phlexonancein Tribes

Also can't use scroll wheel to scroll through scrollable menues. >_<

[bug] Unable to close expanded self posts on main pages by Sinnocentin RESissues

[–]apfhex 1 point2 points ago

I'm seeing the same thing but with images (I'd wager it's any expandable item), just after updating to 4.1.1.

It happened twice to me today, once on Chrome (latest version, OS X 10.6.8) and once on Safari (5.1.5, OS X 10.7.3). Can't reproduce it right now though.

Dead Space had to be redesigned last-minute because testers hated Isaac's slow speed by FoldedTwicein Games

If you have a Nvidia card you can just use the standard Nvidia Control Panel. I also forced Tripple Buffering and the controls are just fine.

My new Macbook had been operational for approximately 45 seconds. It begins. by InigoJonzein aww

[–]apfhex 0 points1 point ago

According to some guy it looks like it can average 27 fps on High with the 6750M (looks like the early 2011 model, I dunno how much difference the current model would make). According to this website the 6770M can manage 43 fps on High but I can't find any Macbook specific numbers.

Spotify for iPad is finally here! by Apox66in ipad

It would be nice if you could use it with ads like the desktop version, or like Pandora.

Used Mac Pro (2009 dual processor) for $1500 - good deal? by Sgroh87in apple

[–]apfhex 0 points1 point ago

Before Apple gave the iMacs nice IPS displays I wouldn't have said they were terribly good for design work. They also felt a bit underpowered. But they have improved quite a lot in the past 3-4 years. Even the Mini seems good if you already have monitors (waiting for a post-Mountain Lion Mini myself).

[Steam] [Midweek Madness] Bastion -60% by tastes_of_vanillain GameDeals

[–]apfhex 1 point2 points ago

I haven't gamed on my Mac since I built a gaming PC, but even so I have 43 Mac games available just from Steamplay (have not specifically purchased any Mac games through Steam) which is like 40% of my Steam collection.

This is still boggling my mind a week later by theclassybassin talesfromtechsupport

[–]apfhex 0 points1 point ago

Upside: only one button. Downside: hidden flush on the back side with no power light. You can't even really feel it by touch. Definitely not surprising if people can't find the button. They're great looking machines but the button design on the current generation is just stupid.

You don't see this every day... by jgorthomin Tribes

[–]apfhex 1 point2 points ago

I had this happen. Game was at 2:1 with like 20 minutes left and then everyone decided to just sit in their respective gen rooms and complain about how no one was attacking. I tried for a few minutes but had to give up eventually as well. Racked up a lot of kills from the few players that kept trying to get in though.

I don't play games to relive terrible moments in my life, Zelda! by simpLLin gaming

[–]apfhex 0 points1 point ago

Visual Boy Advance stopped development in 2004 (besides some forked versions), I wouldn't be surprised if it's just too old to run properly on a newer Mac. Have you tried Boycott Advance?

Although the best experience would be on a real GBA/DS. One of my favorite Zeldas, I liked it better than LttP...

[Steam] Dead Space Franchise (75% Off) by aboyfromhellin GameDeals

[–]apfhex 2 points3 points ago*

I just played it a bit and the main problem, even with Vsync off, seems to be REALLY slow mouse movement while aiming. Makes it really hard to aim. Maybe I need to turn the sensitivity up, but it seems to be the acceleration mostly causing it.

EDIT: Forced vsync/triple buffering through Nvidia control panel and turned mouse sensitivity up in game and it now controls great! A little bit of mouse lag maybe but not much. One of the reasons I wanted the PC version is because I got frustrated trying to aim with the gamepad on the 360.
