Whenever my virus killer says something is infected, I always double check it with the brilliant VirusTotal ( https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload ), the online virus checker that polls more than sixty virus checker engines ,including Kaspersky, BitDefender, Avast, Malwarebytes, …

An archive of no-CD cracks, or a program that contains a database of the inner workings of the cracks and can perform the functions of those cracks, would be very useful to devoted PC gamers, and I'm surprised that there isn't (apparently) a major project to do so. No doubt some of the cracking …

Its a bit more complicated than "they are all evil". Patch releases, parity, whatever you call it, gets very complicated when you are on multiple systems. Ms has its own set of rules, sony completely different each with its own restrictions and verifications. If your patch has some newly developed …

"The console release of System Shock Remake will take place on May 21, 2024 for Xbox and …

Someone has put together an 800 MB 'special edition' of Carmageddon, and it's expansion pack 'the Splat Pack', and the package also includes some fan-made vehicles, fan-made levels, fan-made pedestrians, and some new or upgraded textures. It runs natively on Windows (meaning that it doesn't require …

[CTRL] + [Z] as a Windows Utility Program?

Posted on 2024-02-15, 22:10

Is there a program that expands upon Windows' built in [CTRL] + [Z] function? I mean, you know how, when you press [CTRL] + [Z], then the last action that you did (provided it's a supported action, such as moving one or more files in a bunch, or deleting one or more files), is undone, so the files …

Back in the 1980s, when there were several different 8 bit computers owned by fans in the UK (such as the ZX Spectrum, the Commodore 64, the Amstrad CPC range, the BBC and Acorn Electron, etc) I think I only ever saw one Atari 8 bit computer. A mate had one, which I *think* was an 600XL or 800XL ( …

The human retina, when dark adjusted can pick out a single photon, camera sensors lose single photons in thermal noise, unless you do a long enough exposure that that one spot where a single photon keeps appearing gets brighter than the rest. So that part is still to come. The rest though, phone …

I don't know anything about photography, and I am content to stick with my phone's camera, but since people in this thread know about the subject, then can anyone tell me how close we are to having idiot-proof cameras? I mean cameras where you don't need to understand and alter any settings or …

Re: Ion Fury Aftershock on Oct 2nd

to judge from the screen shots and preview video You can even play the old, unfinished DNF release now. It does look pretty good and I'd still play it if it was fully released in this day and age. REMOVED Yes, I am waiting until that project is finished and can be full played through before I play …

Speaking as a Duke Nukem 3D/Blood/Ion Fury fan, I really wish that 3D Realms had either stuck with the Build engine for Duke Nukem Forever, or stuck with another then current game engine, instead of changing the game's engine multiple times to chase ever better graphics. Imagine if DNF had come out …

If they bothered to give a good explanation on *HOW* the under-sea city was built with 1950's technology, that would've made all the difference. But either it's not there, or I missed it completely. I'm really good about letting things like that go, though, and still enjoy what's there. No, there …

Are you mainly into single player games? I think most of the nostalgia for Quake has to do with the deathmatches people used to play. I found the single player fun at the time, but not groundbreaking. That's a good point, and yes, I mostly play single player games. But even so, I can't recall …
