CODOR

Bluish-yellow. (Actually my favourite is just blue, but that's not very interesting...)

I got mine just before heading across the continent for a couple weeks, so it's in Ontario right now while I'm in Alberta :-P I had a chance to put Armedslack on it (Slackware's my preferred distribution on x86 so the learning curve is minimal) and compile chocolate-doom before I left. It runs fairly well in a 640x480 window, but clunky at 1920x1200 fullscreen -- I'm thinking the X server is unaccelerated in Armedslack, but I'll need to look into it more once I get back...

I always thought this was sorta neat...

Code and phone numbers with "8)" in them look really dumb when the forum transforms them into little sunglasses dudes...

We prefer to call him "The Doomguy Face that resembles Karl Urban"... :-)

'Cause the proposed hardware for the OUYA has a processor with three more cores clocked twice as fast and four times the memory as the Raspberry Pi. And it comes with a case. Plus it doesn't seem likely that the Pi will ever run Android...

They remind me of something from Duke Nukem II (or maybe the original, I'm not sure). So do the fences, actually...

I think this is how it works now. Windows recognizes the serial number and/or volume label of the FAT filesystem and tries to assign it the same drive letter it did last time. The problem is on other people's computers you can't force it to use a particular drive letter without going through the administration panel (and might not be possible if the user doesn't have admin rights or the drive letter is already taken by something important)... There's ext2/3 drivers for Windows. It's been a while since I've used one but I remember they worked, but were a little slow and lacked features. So pretty much on par with NTFS on Linux :-)

I blame foreigners. They -- and their descendants -- should be booted out of Iceland! Why else would the Bible be written in English?

Heh, I had a similar thought the other day (also thinking about similar attempts like DRE), being a lone imp up against a horde of human invaders from another dimension who eventually gets "promoted" to a hell knight and then a baron. Except in mine the final boss was a particularly powerful human with long hair calling itself "Romero". You'd have to kill him by decapitation using your melee attack to win. (I didn't quite figure out how his head would end up immured in a wall at the end of Doom II though...)

I can't decide between Carmack and Romero so I choose John Stalvern.

In examples like this "cat" is probably preferable as the general form since it's clear one could replace it with "unzip -p wadfile.zip" or whatever without changing the structure of the command. neubejiita's command won't show it; MAP[1-32] only matches MAP1, MAP2, MAP3 and MAP2 (again). boris's version would break in this manner though, except I think the intent in either case is to quickly figure out what level to warp to in a random WAD that might be missing its accompanying TXT file. If someone wanted something more robust they could probably use lswad from xwadtools. (But then you could still throw in empty MAP99 lumps to confuse things. Plus the unzip trick can't be used without temporary files or maybe some fancy redirections...)

No, I like them both but I think Hexen is the more interesting game. Disclaimer: I've never finished either one :-P

I think the thing about emulation on a RasPi is that you can tear apart a dead old console, stick a Pi in there along with a couple USB adapters wired into the original controller ports (or maybe even bitbang them through the Pi's GPIO pins) and have the appearance of an old console with an HDMI output for modern TVs/monitors. I was pondering how one could use the cartridge slot to load games, then I realized that for the sorts of things you'd want to emulate on this board, you could fit every single game ever on even a small SD card...

I haven't received mine yet (should ship at the end of this month), but looks like a bit of both. The GPU is proprietary and required closed-source libraries to speak to it (this might be only for OpenGL ES and video decoding though). The rest of the onboard hardware seems to have open-source drivers. The GPIO pins appear to be well documented if you're thinking of hanging some hardware off of them. I don't have any plans aside from installing ArmedSlack (I've been using Slackware since 1997 so it's the distro I'm most familiar with). Then various Doom ports, naturally. And DOSBox, simply because the idea of running DOS software on ARM hardware amuses me. :-) (I estimate in general it'll run about as well as the 486 I had in 1993. Except 32-bit code is more demanding so I don't expect doom.exe to be playable...)

Heh, my homemade CMS had both the scripts and the templates in a CVS respository. Now I'm wondering if I could have used it to store the content, too :-)

I would if it were an '82 Trans-Am with sequenced red LED lights on the front...

The terraforming process must have added considerable mass to Phobos, in order to allow it to retain an atmosphere for a practical length of time and giving it mountains. This would also increase its escape velocity such that vehicles driving on a particularly hilly surface wouldn't accidentally launch themselves into space (I'm not sure if humans could do it by jumping even now -- although that would explain why the Doomguy never jumps :-) ). The setting for E1 must be on the far side of Phobos, as seen from Mars (like our Moon, Phobos always presents the same side to its planet's surface) -- otherwise there'd be a giant red planet taking up half the sky. That would seem to exclude Stickney as the location, as it's on the Mars-facing side (or at least implied to be by Wikipedia, which states the L1 point is just above the crater). Or maybe the additional mass also changed the rotational dynamics and we just happen to be on the non-Martian (but Sun-facing) side while playing the game. Or maybe it's the demonic influence...

The Supermoon stuff? AGAIN?

I start at HMP and adjust accordingly. Which means I usually play at HNTR (Doom E1 is probably the only set of maps I can consistently beat at UV without saves) :-P

Looks like I take this every two or three years and kept the results: 20050824 Economic Left/Right: -4.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.51 20080725 Economic Left/Right: -6.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.13 20100227 Economic Left/Right: -5.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.82 20120429 Economic Left/Right: -6.12 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.13 I seem to be moving more to the bottom left corner of the graph. I suppose I'll have to find someone else to vote for other than those right-wing fascists, the NDP. I'm not sure why I got a little bit closer to the centre in 2010 (with respect to 2008 and 2012), maybe I'm just more pissed off in American major election years...

That's probably pretty close; the timestamp on the file is 2000 which was about the time I started using Linux as my primary OS. I probably opened a terminal with an 8x16 font and took a screenshot, which would explain why it's 640x384 (i.e. an 80x24 screen instead of 80x25 which one would usually have in DOS)...

Non-orthogonal walls, after having played Wolf3D for like a year and a half... Needs to be 320x200 :-)
