The /newstuff Chronicles #164

Grazza said:

I've used double horiz/vert ever since the early versions of Zdoom and never felt a need to change it; is it a problem?

So you purposely halve your resolution? WHY?!

Ah, that would help explain why I got quite an acceptable framerate on nuts3.wad. :)

dwforums3's Max Payne parody is absolute class.

I like how the ending alludes to a new chapter, too.

Yeah uh I've had to kill myself 3 times now. Here's to 3 more!

dwf3 = love, plus it has me in it, which is the icing on the cake.

Heh. For some reason I remember being mentioned in dwforums1.wad but I played it again and didn't find myself. I think it's the "newstuff flamewar" that made me think it was a reference to me and/or deathz0r.
Maybe I'll be in the next one.

This is starting to piss me off... ever since yesterday afternoon, I can't load the /idgames database. It crashes AOL and IE, and Netscape fails to load anything but the top banner. I suppose I'm just gonna have to hunt through a mirror for dwforums3.

Has no one else had this problem? :-/

About the Screenies being bright:

When you take a screenshot, it uses the gamma on your desktop, so those shots seem bright because Grazza probably has his gamma a little high.

Those screenshots don't look like they've been gamma corrected. They're far too saturated, and gamma actually only causes saturation to decrease.
