Living Room / Games by Ville Mönkkönen

« Last post by lanux128 on November 08, 2006, 09:32 PM »

Here is a website that has some cool totally free games written by Ville Mönkkönen. i used to play one of them, Notrium but since then hadn't much time to indulge in games. Since i re-discovered them, i might as well put it up here..



The other games include:
• Magebane 2 - 3D RPG Solo.
• Wazzal - a space adventure.
• Bikez II - you play as a mercenary with a bike.
• The Forge - 3D Beat-em-up with a gladiator theme.

Enjoy!

Site/Forum Features / Re: Should we add a ratings/vote mod to the forum?

« Last post by lanux128 on November 08, 2006, 08:09 PM »

i agree with general consensus, ratings will only skew the search results bypassing the contents of a thread. & as f0dder pointed out, the older threads will get left out..

on the other hand, it might be easier for user to locate threads with useful tips/solutions/reviews/workarounds etc. since it has already been verified by the responsible & impartial folks of DC. maybe only members at certain levels can be allowed to vote but then it will sound as elitism..

anyway, as the cliche goes, it's a double-edged sword or something like that. (i know, i suck at cliches). just my 2¢..

just taking the plunge.. it's a big relief that tab mix plus works without breaking anything.

btw, whatever happened to context-menu web search? the one where we can select some text and search in google, regardless of the search bar's current search engine.

there is a lot of interest in this program but unfortunately mouser's seems to be busy atm..
btw mouser, if you have an alpha version lying around, i'd be happy to take it for a test-drive.

LaunchBar Commander / Refresh takes a long time

« Last post by lanux128 on November 07, 2006, 08:22 PM »

mouser,

i had mentioned this before but thought that i'd start a new thread.

this is my problem: whenever i close the "Preferences" window, the toolbars would disappear and takes about 10-15 seconds to re-appear. in between the delay, other programs would expand to adjust to the new screen height and contract later when LC is available again. so, is there a way to reduce the refresh time? maybe even put in a flag to ensure that refresh occurs only if there are changes.

« Last post by lanux128 on November 07, 2006, 01:15 AM »

i don't think it causes any grief to have .NET Framework installed in your PC. it was like installing VB runtimes, soon they were incorporated into Windows itself (WinXP)..

So make 2 choices and use the second one if you find software not getting along with your first choice.

this is the reason i had asked here about an alternative firewall.. now, i've made my choices: Windows Firewall followed by ZA.
