Bringing some life back to the classics in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

More than a few times I want to play some of the very good, older game titles whose gameplay started a trend, or defined a standard a specific game genre would be judged against. Games that look simplistic and downright ugly to some for today's visual standards, but whose core gameplay still holds up well, and hasnt become as obsolete as the 16bit routines it was built on. Games such as Wolf3d, Blake Stone, Rise of the Tr

Reply to ATi X1650 pro 512Mb video card in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

What type of RAM does your 9600 have? DDR2? It's important to know, since being an older computer, it might now recognize cards with a newer faster standard, like GDDR3. I bought a geforce 6800XT card to upgrade my older computer, and the card wouldnt send signals to the screen. Turns out that card's GDDR3 RAM wasnt being recognized by the computer's board. I think the 1650pro has DDR2, so you would be ok. The HD 2600 PRO and the HD 3650 have DDR2 too. The X1950pro doe

Reply to Impulse DRM in Everything Else Stardock Forums

So, I havent understood completely this GOO DRM. - Does it add some sort of personal digital signature to each of the player's game binaries? - If that is the case, in what ways is this "binary with your name on it" system prevent unauthorized copying?

From those really blurry pictures, hmm, is that Visual Studio in one of the elemental screens? Is that the source code of the game being compiled? So that's why the picture is blurry! :D On the other picture it looks like a 3d model editor, is that tool made by Stardock, or is it a 3rd party modelling tool, like 3ds max...?

Reply to impulse client error updating in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

Damn, so you havent been able to fix the problem there either? Im inclined to believe it's a problem with this computer, because on another computer i have it impulse updates itself with no problems. I dont know what the problem is here, i have tried clearing the registry, deleting rubbish files, running anti-spyware programs, everything short of a complete re-format/reinstall. I find it funny that no one here from stardock can give a simple suggestion if the problem isnt re

I cant update fences because the impulse client keeps getting an error trying to download the update. So yes, I suppose this frustrates uses enough that they may consider using other ways to get their programs. Stardock, please correct this problem.

[quote who="Vicente" reply="4" id="2058419"]3 days ago CCP announced that they won't support Eve Online on Linux anymore: http://myeve.eve-online.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=625 Probably Eve was one of the few MMORPGs working on Linux. I'm pretty sure CCP tried all they could to believe in the future of the Linux market, but in the end it wasn't profitable for them (and it didn't look like it was going to be profitable in the long term either).

Linux gaming : An untapped market up for grabs in Gaming Stardock Forums

I consider myself a technology enthusiast. Witnessing trends in technologies both in the offline and online world converge and transform the personal computer into a multipurpose and powerful center of peoples' digital ventures is an amazing thing. One of the most exciting areas for me being the fast, quickly changing nature of games in this often called "dying" medium, that the pc is regarded at. <p style="text-align:

It's great to see a good, mature discussion about linux and pc gaming in general, and with the valuable comments of people from Stardock themselves. Hmm, most of the points they mention against linux support in games is uncertain returns of investment, and support problems. Arent these times times for breaking molds, and trying new ways ? Maybe the linux gaming market isnt as small, and it certainly is an untapped market, up for grabs right now. There are many good, qu

At this point new jobs, to point out new jobs that require college degrees and are in something other than our traditional auto industry is a good deal.
