Download Duke Nukem 3D and install it.
Download Duke HRP and install it to the Duke3D directory.
Download YANG.
Run YANG.
On the Source Ports config screen of YANG – Tell it where where eDuke3D.exe is in that Duke3D directory.
On the Source Ports config screen of YANG – Give it the same directory as above for the TC/Mods path below.
Create a room in YANG, on the right select “game.con” and click “use” so it moves to the right. This enables HRP to work.

To use cheat codes in Doomsday for Doom, Hexen or Heretic, just press the tilde key (~) and type cheat, put a space and then use any one of the original cheat codes.

Example:

cheat nra

This gives me all the weapons in Hexen.

Someone has developed a tool that enables you to edit your Games Explorer in Windows 7 (or Vista). You can add missing box art quite easily.

Before (random screenshot in Vista):

Logitech G5 vs. Razer Diamondback

Ryan — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 23:30:13 +0000

Logitech G5

Pros:

Side buttons very nice
Shape
Texture is coarse for grip but perfectly comprtable

Cons:

Worst mouse wheel I can recall using
- Very stiff, hard to click the button
- Hard to press the button without accidentally scrolling
Stiff mouse cord tugs and pushes the mouse around a little

Razer Diamondback

Pros:

Buttons are fantastic
- Quiet
- Large surface area
- Easy to press
- Texture is perfect
The mouse wheel is great
Mouse cord is thin and doesn’t bother you
Software has almost too much adjustments available

Cons:

Slippery surface to hold onto
Side buttons are very difficult to press, and have an annoying sharp bump on them
It’s a left or right hand mouse, so it’s not as comfortable as it could be

New World of Warcraft UI

Ryan — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 23:59:48 +0000

Addons I used:

Unit Frames (top left): ag_unitframes (recently switched to X-Perl though)
Top bar: FuBar with lots of addons (QuestsFu gives me the custom quest log)
Action bars (bottom): Bongos with cyCircled addon to make the buttoms look glassy
Minimap: Squeenix
Minimap Buttoms: MBB (Minimap Button Box, hides all buttons into one expandable one)

Call of Duty 4 has the ability to turn respawns off!

I’ve been waiting for it since Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield, a game that actually has the option to turn respawning off! This makes dying SUCK instead of a minor inconvenience and makes everyone play more carefully, rather than running around and clicking at random shit.
