So, I’ve moved hosts. Now I’m on a paid shared server, so things will be better for you (better uptime) and me (I pay and I’m not troubled by the fact that the host will die any minute). So… That’s it. Sorry for the lack of news, too much life issues right now. But also, too much gaming :)
Any comments? Anything you want reviewed? Any content that you’d like to see on the site? Suggestions are welcome, now… First time in the history of the site. No, I won’t change the design. I love this theme.
Just some small comments about this game. It’s another Diablo clone, but with a twist. Has a futuristic setting, and some non-typical classes. The graphics are very nice, so as the interface of the game. Props to ClockStone Software for this game.
Here’s a link to Worthplaying that features a small review and the link for downloading the demo. Go play this game!
PD: It has zombies too!
As bizarre as this fix is (and let’s not talk about why is this game in my blog)…
Preconditions
Fix
As simple as enabling Compatibility Mode for Windows XP SP3.
It seems that there is some really strange quirks with the unnamed_11.bin file in the dt04.img folder. Why? I don’t know. But enabling CM seems to do the job. I also did read that this fix does not work in Windows Vista. But who the hell uses Windows Vista, anyways.
Enjoy this great game and awesome patch!
You know, I spent hours playing Diablo II in my “childhood”. Finding those rare items, going through the tombs, killing Diablo, and such. I finished it, with the Lord of Destruction expansion, a couple years ago. And from time to time, it’s always fun to play with friends for a while
So now we’re up with Torchlight, a very nice Diablo-like game from Runic Games, that takes all that Diablo II was, and adds some little twists here and there. And a pet, that will make your life very simple.
For the good, we have the aesthetics, the pet, and the gameplay itself. I found myself playing in the 3rd level of a dungeon in half an hour, and that was very cool. That means that the game is extremely easy play, and get used to.
The game feature three base characters (Destroyer, Alchemist and Vanquisher) which can be heavily altered with Skills. For example, I played as an Vanquisher (it’s Amazon+Assassin), and I wanted her speciality to be ranged weapons, so I increased her skill with that, and didn’t touched the close combat ones.
Well, it’s a Diablo clone. You can tweak it as hard as you can, but there will only be Diablo and Diablo at the end. Did I say Diablo enough times?
Play it. You will like it, it would have been very nice if the Runic Games team could have added a Multiplayer feature (Co-op or something like that), but the game is still pretty good to play, will keep you hooked for quite a while.
FUCK YES.
I won’t comment on this one, all the credit goes to 1UP.com.
You know, I was using Gom Player since a long time, mostly for it’s Control Panel with subtitles timing and stuff. But its horrid MKV support, even after lots of users reported them that it sucked, was never fixed. So I uninstalled it. Then I downloaded The KMPlayer. Nice! Displayed MKV files correctly, but now the subtitles do not have styles.
Why I don’t like MPC: Home Cinema? Playlist. Guess what. Sucks. And VLC is out of the question, useful for displaying Real Media files, but still… sucks.
So I went back to Zoom Player. Haven’t used it since… two years ago. Now it’s on version 6.0 and most awesome as ever. But I cannot enable DXVA.
So my current setup is the following:
Not that it cares, but currently there is no perfect player for everything. Zoom Player should support subtitle timings and DXVA…
Edit!
Well, I could make Zoom Player support DXVA thanks to an MPC decoder, but when I use DXVA, no subtitles are shown… über fail from the InMatrix staff.
And I could make Zoom Player to work fine in my PC, just had to raise the CPU usage to High, no problems.
