That is some SERIOUS FUCKING EXTREME cloud textures.

It's not like there is that much choice for some races.

DosBOX with Glide is awesome.
Speaking of Dosbox and Effects...
No, I'm not the one running it, sadly. I did find this page, though : http://www.si-gamer.net/gulikoza/
Now does anyone know of how to achieve such an effect with Linux ? Can't be arsed to reboot in Windows just to play U5.

System Shock. Default 640x480 resolution. Using NO scalers. Standard DOSBox vs DOSBox SVN with nGlide:

While not EARTH SHATTERING OMG1111!!! Neat nonetheless.

A million fucking patches and they still can't drive for shit
Actually I am just DUMB. System Shock is NOT a Glide/3DFX game. :/ I could have sworn it was.

Don't know how complete is that list, though.
Anyway, I find it cool that I can now play all those games as they were meant to be played instead of looking like someone puked pixels on the screen. Funny times with a 2Mb video card and 3dfx being just some cryptic word in magazines.
The plot thickens...This is a proposition to jerking each-other off, isn't it.

Yeah, I can't do much gaming these days (aside from my daily 1h Jagged Alliance 2 session) but inbetween working I like to punch some molerats in the face or do some silly shit there.

Hahaha. Solaire is clearly a better gay romance than anything Bioware's done. Jolly cooperation!

I got side-tracked from my quest to play every Cthulhu game in existence, and got excited about playing Thief again because of the Codex. And man, that was a good decision...!
Love them oldschool level designs!
Some Prospers wandering about. I like how those angular, crude oldschool graphics give off such a surreal vibe.
The Horn of Quintus!
Quest complete
The Bonehoard misssion is one of the less exciting ones in Thief, not in the lest due to the often criticised zombies who are everywhere. I am very fond myself of the first manor mission; human opponents, breaking into a real house... Great stuff. In any case, a great game, I wish someone would make something like this again.
Next, due to the thread at the Codex about a possible MCA kickstarter, I re-installed one of my favourite games of all time...
I'm using the really excellent Polish translation (for sentimental reasons), the widescreen mod, the fixpack, unifinished business, and some tweaks, and the game is simply stunning. Just look at this beauty!
Amazing how the Infinity Engine adapted so well to higer resolution and tweaks. A game looking like this may have been released today.
The Polish translators were praised for how they translated Annah's rough way of talking, by inventing neologisms and creatively mangling the Polish language. "Gub siem, żulu!" Well, that actually isn't the best example, but that's the screenshot I took.
Just look at what gameplay possibilities this screenshot implies... The Infinity Engine really has a ton of potential. It is also very pleasing to operate with, I was struck by how easy it is to get into playing Torment again. Ease of using the interface, the clarity with which information is presented, and the appeal of the graphics are really very, very important, and are done exceptionally by this game. I think these are aspects that are often overlooked by indie devs.
Another thing I was thinking about, is the speculation about a spiritual successor to Torment. The rich and interesting world of Planescape is one of the driving motors behind this game; it is what motivates the player to explore, to talk to people. Without the license, MCA would need to world-build a new setting from scratch, and to match this charm and oddness is a task just as difficult as writing the game itself.

As much as the undead in Thief 1 bummed me out, I did appreciate that it had some traps. Particularly in the Bonehoard, but I think some of the other levels had traps too. And I seem to remember Thief 2 didn't have any traps but Deadly Shadows had a few. Plus Thief 2 had the goddamn robots which were even less satisfying to sneak past than the undead even though I liked their voices.
Hopefully Thiaf is decent. Deadly Shadows was surprisingly good. Even in the event of Thiaf sucking I can just pretend it doesn't exist since Deadly Shadows is a satisfying ending to the series. I even liked the little callbacks to the previous games in DS, like the recording of Karras and the horn of Quintus. And of course the very ending.
And speaking of Thief, just recently learned Terry Pratchett is (Or at least was, not sure if he still can/is
) a monocle PC gaming gentleman and apparently loves the shit out of Thief. To the point of playing fan missions. He also enjoyed Oblivion but he was after sneaking so CUT A BRO SOME SLACK.
