$1400? Ye gods stop paying Dell list or pseudo list price Dell Outlet (refurb with no dead pixels - essentially new returns) kicks in at a grand. With coupons one can get even that straight up new $1400 down a few hundred as well. Many are waiting for the perfect storm of a Dell Outlet coupon plus 30" lcds in stock in the outlet to score some in the mid 6 to 7 hundred range. -Fk

1) Step one: Back off data from C: 2) Step two: Steal Vista sounds as those are much nicer than XP 3) Step three: Re-install XP as I can't wait for Nvidia to get their excrement together any longer... See you on the other side (hoping this doesn't take too long...) -Fk

Good man. Now your roommate... -Fk

Lex and Wentz are all paids up - even though they have drifted away from UT abit (shows the commitment to GC) Primus on the other hand is quite possibly insane what with his identity issues, starting his own servers, and non-paid status I should get around to reinstalling XP this weekend and should be back in the pubs then -Fk

Just an early heads up as this makes it's way public. Ozzfest is free this year. Yep. -Fk

It's not like everyone that is posting in there now is a current GC member and if it helps him decide... And yes, a saw the smillie. Really? Who ain't a member in there? Penty is good to go so it ain't him (he's just a supreme commander now...) you're talkin bout willis. -Fk

Hellllloooooo...... Nice to see ya. Looks like you might be catching us on an upswing. Wentz is on his way back and he's itchin for the TWL so that'll pull more of us on to the pub more often. Yeah - GC ain't exactly a clan, more like a large assortment of gaming types so - alot of forums to peruse... And you are catching us mid redesign of our internets. Enjoy the insanity -Fk You will be soon enough once Wentz puts the lean on ya -Fk

Given the response in the private UT TWL forum, I'd say yes. But alas, you can't see those right now can you..... -Fk

Oh noes - 4 or 5 cds... Teh horror..... Why, when I was a youth back in the day of 3.5 floppy backups, I had a Macromedia Director backup that fit comfortably on 78 3.5 floppies. Convenience personified. I expect this thread to continue the back in the day analogies. Do not disappoint me. -Fk

Be sweeter if you joined GC and just straight up played *on* the team... Jus' sayin.... -Fk

So - yeah. Also, once demo drops, the game will be shipped one month later. Also also, talk of a "stealthbender", a hellbender mutated by Necris tech that "deploys things like teleporters and all these different things on the map" http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200...3054.htm?Page=3 -Fk

lol - I think that tells you the state of the team... -Fk

Just FYI for folks - I sent Gorg an email a few weeks (months?) back seeing what was up as he hadn't been round these parts much lately. Turns out our potato-lad has been promoted a few times and thusly is a very busy camper. Hooray for potato promotions! Booo for no UT play. -Fk

No problems with 6600gt under XP getting the full 1900x1210 or whatever with 80 to 60 fps. Think I mentioned this before but it is either: 1) Nvidia Vista Drivers not up to snuff yet. 2) 1 meg of ram: Plenty of room for UT to breathe under XP but not so much with Vista - Vista *does* take up nearly 512 with nothing really going on. UT should have plenty of room but might be doing some swap thing or sumthin (I'm not going to bother tracking it down) 3) Some other unknown conflict, or combination of the above. Keep in mind - it does not matter at all - 1900 x 1210 with all the candy? 30fps. 800x600 with no candy? 30fps. So - beats me. -Fk

Actually, most folks love the UT3 name - at least the old school original UT(99) players do. Anyways, gamespot has some stuff up - go take a look. One thing they have is an interview with Rein and Morris. To paraphrase: Poo. -Fk

HiDef Trailer http://download.beyondunreal.com/fileworks...t_3_trailer.zip In game shot #1 http://www.beyondunreal.com/image.php?src=...7/GD0107_03.jpg In game shot #2 http://www.beyondunreal.com/image.php?src=...7/GD0107_02.jpg Yes - that first shot is not a rendered still - it is in-game... -Fk

Freaking Necro-bump. Start a new topic freak -Fk

Friday Morning Update: 1) BeyondUnreal short summary: So - we got more on the way. 2) HighDef Trailer - if you haven't seen 1280x720 version, give me some time to upload the 50+meg .wmv file. Doesn't suck. 3) That Second Half, 2007 release. That might still be the case but the truth is, that IGN source was the UK IGN - and they have been listed as second half 2007 forever now. Midway official guestimate is still 2nd Quarter, 2007 for us (April May June), which would mean a demo in a month or two. However, Epic still sez done when it is fun and they arethe final aribiters of release dates - so truly - no idea yet. I'll try to mirror the new media here soon -Fk

1) Name changed from UT2K7 to UT3. Consider UT2K4 to be UT 2.5 and it makes sense - also now matches UT engine rev. (UE3) Can also think of it as: UT = 1 UT2003/2004 = 2 UT3 = 3 2) PC, PS3 were known. Now announced for Xbox360 as well. No idea about cross platform play (pc users playing with xbox/ps3 users, etc.) 3) New Images. See links below - there are others but hard to get now. 4) New Trailer. Expounds on the single player and UT universe backstory for this game. Essentially, "In a world where Liandri Mining company made a tournament that was very popular, the Necris built an army and came to kick everyones ischial callosities. Now you want revenge. Hooray." Naturally there are pretty moving pictures. Trailer = 1 minute long. Some were really hoping for an announcement of the demo seeing as it would match with UT2K4 demo announcement (which was Early Feb 2004) but seems not to be. The event is *not* over with yet, there may be more info and announcements but this is what is swinging as of 5pm Monday. No time for images - others feel free to mirror or post. Technically there is supposed to be an embargo until tomorrow on some of this stuff but it is out there now. Yes - IGN says that it is now reported as Second Half, 2007. Hope not, or at least hope we get the demo long b4 then.

Careful on those vista benchmark ratings. I have a mere 1 gig as well but my rating is 4.3 overall. Not only that, but my UT frames are shot (to the point of unplayable - even the *menus* are giving me sub-40 framerates) I lost at least 20 frames. Now - whether that is vid card drivers (latest nvidia vista drivers though), vid card not up to snuff (6600gt but rates a 5.3 in vista ratings) or whether the 1 gig of ram is just not enough head room (i.e. even though it says I have physical remaining, it may be using swap for the game) No reason for DX10 to do anything for you graphically - seriously - not trying to say you ain't seeing it but UT2K4 is coded for DX8 and nothing more - did you upgrade or reinstall UT? If you reinstalled you have the default midline settings enabled in UT and we (us) might have had you tweak those down to low settings to get your framerates up in the before-vista ,when you still played UT with us times. I'd rather not reinstall to dual boot xp/vista but might get around to it if I'm overly frustrated. True Vista Recommendations: 1) Yes - 2 gig of ram. Just get it over with. 2) User Account Control. Turn it the hell off. You'll understand why soon enough. 3) Gadgets are few at the moment but if you have the screen real estate, they are nice, and the execution is really good. Msoft got this one right. -Fk

Been trying to figure out what you wanted from the post a month ago - your repost seems to have jogged the noggin's http://www.dogsofwarusa.com/dow/BigDog/NiV...lley-Beta32.zip -Fk

Things are afoot. Not speaking shoe-wise but, if you look at the address of this page for example, you will note a funny four letter word after the .com/ bit. That's a clue. New and improved internets are in the works. Fk
