Railgun Madness

Posted on June 3, 2008

Pete reminded me about how I used deliver beating after beating in Quake II.  So I found my Quake II disk(yep, same one from Rates Dot Bomb) and loaded it up in the virtual.  The mouse is completely screwed up, but using the keyboard works like a champ.  The video capture is choppy only because I'm recording the full screen, when not capturing the screen, the game plays as good as could be.  Check it out:

I figured out how to capture the sound, so if you got speakers, turn em up.

May Sucked

Posted on June 3, 2008

I didn't get a lot of things accomplished in May.  Work sucked too.  So in the spirit of trying to have some fun I got Quake III Arena up and running on a virtual machine running XP.  The XP VM has 2 gigs of ram dedicated to it, plus I bumped up the vram to 128 megs.  The host machine is running 32 bit Windows 2003 Server with 8 gigs of ram. The sound was horrible, and the video was choppy, but I could almost play it well just using the keyboard.

Here's to a better June: http://panteravb.com/codecasts/quakeiii-virtual.html.

ps. I originally had recorded about a minute and 17 seconds worth of footage, but the rendered Flash file was 100 megs and would have taken years to upload, so I cut it up into a 10 second slice(still 7 megs!).
