<0> Oh, no no no. Then it'll suddenly take weeks to reach here!
<1> zborgerd, mine arrived today
<1> the box looks very cool
<2> PRaabjerg: US Global Priority is like two days for $5
<2> I send a videocard to Spain in one day.
<1> ok, I'm shutting up ;)
<1> zborgerd, wow
<1> nice
<2> Is it?
<2> Did it turn out good?
<1> better than I thought after michael lamented the images
<1> some of them are a bit too dark, but most are ok
<2> They can't be that bad.
<2> micks: Hell. A lot of the game is dark!
<2> :D
<2> lgp-michael just hasn't played it yet.
<0> zborgerd: Only $5?.. Well, I've very rarely seen that kind speed and pricing for global shipping from the US.. But granted, it has happened on occasion :)
<1> zborgerd, yeah, exactly :)
<1> yeah, id store wants $50 for shipping to europe
<2> It'll be like Gorky 17. He'll play it after he's published it.
<2> http://www.usps.com/global/sendpackages.htm
<1> which is a bit insane
<2> Starts at $4.25 -6 days
<1> zborgerd, I trust you
<2> But it's actually been faster for me.
<2> No longer than 2-3 in most cases.
<0> zborgerd: Oh yeah. But I was talking about US online shops in general.
<1> I'm just saying not everybody appears to be using the option, is all ;)
<3> someone else came on & mentioned the all language packs had to be installed...
<3> is that the case for everyone for coldwar?
<1> heard that
<2> If they want that much, then it's probably because they are either fools or simply don't want to ship overseas/.
<1> well, I was too lazy to test, just installed the games lock stock and barrel as a precaution
<1> SlackerTD, but if you want me to I'll test it right now
<3> just curious more than anything... nothing worth the bother over
<1> heh
<3> i remember that coming up in testing, but was fixed after that
<1> I'm installing with english only now
<2> The only problem with Global Priority Mail is that the flat rate is only valid for items under 4 lbs, and within certain dimensions.
<2> You could put about 4 DVD cases in a box and probably ship them okay.
<1> zborgerd, cool, it's extremely useful to know
<2> 3 for certain. Anything over those limits has to use other types of global mail.
<1> zborgerd, my brother is staying in Maryland this summer so now I can bug him with sending me even more stuff than I thought I would be able to
<2> I usually ship things in those small boxes that computer parts normally ship in.
<2> Boxes about the size of a standard 5.25 CDROM drive.
<1> SlackerTD, hmmm, sure as hell CW crashes without all language packs installed
<1> the bug sneaked back into the release version
<4> damn it you have cold war :(
<4> I still have to wait another 3 weeks :)
<3> i'm waiting for it to show up in cnr... then i'll see where i can get it cheaper to
<2> micks: I wonder if the final Cold War that shipped is fixed in every other respect?
<2> I guess we'll know if the ALSA is crackly. :D
<1> SlackerTD, probably depends whether you have the gold CNR subscription, right?
<3> yep, i have the gold
<2> Hey. I could always finish playing the game with my early beta savegames. :D
<1> zborgerd, luckily enough, it works ok apart from the language pack nuissance
<3> i was going to get it in cnr, since it's typically a bit cheaper with lack of shipping
<3> but im not certain now where i was testing the game too
<3> waiting to see the price they'll have & decide then
<3> gorky 17 was 35 for cnr gold
<3> woulda had x2 as well, but after looking at the fighting in space, i knew i wasnt going to like the way it handled for that :(
<1> heh
<3> couldn't get used to it, but i know i will be getting coldwar :)
<4> SlackerTD, where you on the testing team?
<3> yep
<4> ah
<4> you know about getting it though lgp then?
<3> yep
<3> which is why im waiting :)
<4> kk
<4> :)
<3> depending on shipping, versus none... will have to see :)
<4> it was like 3.50 pounds for me
<3> funny thing is... when i played the demo of coldwar after i applied for the beta... was lost in the game... the actual first level in the game while testing, made it all clear
<1> yeah, I'm of the same opinion
<3> if i only had the demo, i probably wouldnt have considered buying it
<4> yea same :)
<1> if I were in lgp-michael's shoes I'd probably use a different demo
<1> the first level or two would most probably do,
<4> it was what he got to publish maby..
<4> yea
<1> nah
<3> that's what i was thinking as well.. dunno if he has that option tho
<1> I guess he just went with what was ready
<4> the tutorial and maby up untill taking the photo of the guy
<1> in other news Croteam need to put out Serious Sam 2 Linux client already
<1> I've bought a copy and it's gathering dust
<3> there a demo for that game?
<1> not until they finish the client, there isn't
<3> oh... i thought you said they had one out :)
<3> hehe
<4> lol
<4> hey
<4> yes still sick :/
<2> W00ty w00t!
<2> http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/08/09/2134254
<2> I wonder if this means that they'll open up their alleged PowerVR drivers when they start using those cores?
<2> Oh!
<2> Is this the alleged PowerVR tech that they *are* releasing drivers for?
<2> [1m8. Known Limitations[0m
<2> +o No 3D support in this release.
<2> +o Running two X servers on different VTs is not supported at this
<2> time.
<2> (From the driver source)
<4> :(
<2> Wait a sec...
<2> That's an i810 readme, and it's old.
<4> phew!
<2> In the new drivers source...
<2> I don't think this is PowerVR-based, which is why they are so lax about the drivers. Looks like a tweaked up i810.
<4> :/
<4> GAh
<4> That was so missleading :(
<5> wooohooo!
<5> cold war is shipping
<4> \o/
<6> yeah, did on friday
<4> Where do you live?
<2> gerrynjr: Mine is probably in the states by now. :D
<0> "AMD is strongly considering open-sourcing at least a functional subset of ATI?s graphics drivers.": http://www.osnews.com/comment.php?news_id=15446 .. Wow. A "functional subset".. Hmm..
<5> I live in MA, USA
<5> PRaabjerg: if amd does... nvidia will definitely follow
<2> PRaabjerg: Ha.
<2> I think that it's going to become a big pissing match with INtel now.
<2> Which is good, because *we win* in a case like this.
<0> I'd still like them to release the entire thing, but I suppose it's a sort of progress.
<4> :O
<0> Yeah :)
<2> Cheaper hardware with open drivers...
<4> if amd do it right I might eat my words and my next card might be ati :D
<4> if I can play ut2007 at full speed on the opensource driver that is :)
<0> I remain sceptical. I wonder how much "3D" stuff will be included in that "subset" :P
<4> hmm true
<4> what is this "subset"
<0> But perhaps I'll wait a bit with my anticipated hardware purchase. I was planning on doing the next upgrade with something like a 950 Intel motherboard..
<4> ah
<2> The ****y things about drivers like this is that it still doesn't guarantee a free driver that can take care of all of the card's features.
<4> :(
<6> still, for 3D cards - intel seriously kicks *** when it comes to free drivers
<4> hmm
<4> you had me shocked there for a sec
<6> hm?
<6> well it's true. Intel's free drivers rock
<4> hmm
<4> but thier card blow :P
<4> *cards
<5> is anyone from phoronix here?
<6> naw, they don't. They're pretty good for integrated stuff, doesn't come close to NVidia ofcourse. But still, an intel card and a linux box should play along very nicely
<4> hmm
