TROPHY CASE

Is it worth it to install all of my games on my 360 harddrive? by ccm_in xbox360

[–]boot13 0 points1 point ago

If you have a 360 that scratches discs, it's a good way to avoid scratches, since even though the disc has to be in the drive, it's not spinning except when you fire up the game.

Hanged and thrown into a bog. Not the best way to go.

Okay, I should have checked that before posting. I gave up using the official launcher a while ago because of this.

My Auntie has always had a horribly slow computer, so one day I ran CCleaner. Mother of God. by Travdogin geek

Really? Do you have any evidence of that? My understanding was that Microsoft sent them a legal nastygram asking them to change it. If spam filters were filtering out the word 'crap', half of my emails would never arrive.

Agreed!

My own wish list for Minecraft is more about the server than the client, but I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with Mojang over these seemingly simple issues:

[1] Version resources in both the client and server (JAR and EXE). That way we can tell what version a file is for certain without setting it up and running it, with all the annoyance that entails.

[2] Upgrade notes and requirements for both servers and clients, including world compatibility and a useful upgrade process (multiplayer and single player).

[3] No forced client updates via the launcher.

[4] A clear client/server compatibility matrix.

[5] It would be useful if there was some way to be alerted on new versions of the server. I've tried to hack something together out of existing resources on the wiki but so far nothing helps. How about an RSS feed, guys?

These are all things that I consider obvious, and their omission is very strange, as if the Mojang developers have never used any other software.

The bar that I work at is an old bank. by sugarlilyin pics

I almost felt a bit sad about the bank, but then I realized they moved into a much bigger building with a lot less interesting architecture.

Definitely. She's a hippie, there are two ghosts, and the other guys dressed up as themselves... rednecks. Also, pumpkins.

If he's who I think he is, this guy has been involved with computers for most of his career. He co-authored a book about Fortran.

I wish they hadn't changed the name from CrapCleaner. Much more descriptive.

Season two is well underway and this guy is still, by far, the best actor on television right now. by dbcooperlivesin pics

It's not that a specific accent is necessary, just some consistency. His accent slips in and out and wanders all around the British Isles. It's like my own, which comes mainly from watching Monty Python.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. He really needs an accent coach. Otherwise great performance.

Here's a tip (oooh, was that an intentional pun? you'll never know!): slow WAY down when cornering. Jeeps fall over even when they're not on stilts.

They were closed for a while after this but no charges are forthcoming and they are now open again, minus all their previous stock, which was of course confiscated.

I wish everyone who plays on my BF42 server was that sensible.

"Just a game" lol. I run a BF42 server, and while it has a core of dedicated (and awesome) regular players, we sometimes see some incredibly childish behaviour. So far I haven't seen anything like that on EO. I'm not a big fan of taunting, personally, but I had to at least ask, because that seems like one of the few options for dealing with cloaked intruders. Ignoring/avoiding them seems like the best approach.

Time to do some exploring. I had thought 7b would be okay for ratting, but I'm going to look elsewhere now.
