  1. It seems to me that such an option could conceivably place undue stress on the server. Trying to return the contents of 100 posts in a single query over and over again is not as easy as a smaller number of results.

    Of course, I could be just talking out of my ass.

    I think overall it would result in less total stress (since there's less overhead) since you're only executing some of the overall queries (user's info and some of the other stuff that has to be retrieved every page) once, so while a single large page would take less total time to execute than multiple smaller ones, it wouldn't be broken up like the smaller queries would be. So basically it would appear slower if someone was trying to access a page at the same time as someone trying to get a 100 post page.

  2. Hmm...

    I could've sworn there was an option for that, but maybe not? I looked at the OUS boards and it's not set up like that.

    Maybe I dreamed it.

    Maybe vBull should add that.

    Or maybe I'm a lion.

    Whether or not it's an in-box option, I'm sure it can at least be modded. But it's probably a low-priority issue and won't happen for some time.

  3. Go to the processes tab and enable the column for CPU usage, and see what's actually taking up that CPU.

    What kind of virus/spyware protection are you running? If it's Norton Anything then that'll consume large amounts of CPU at regular intervals, and some other programs also do periodic scans.

  4. Civ4 is my game of choice. Mostly because I don't have room to install anything else.

    Are there any good TRPGs out there for PC? Actually, forget good, just any TRPGs for PC at all? I want something I can play offline in small doses. I'm all emulatored out for now, after playing various Sonic games for the last 3 weeks.

  5. I am liking the Album art...

    Me too. I also love the new remix from Sephire, so who the album should be good with the song from Xerol in the make and I don't know about the other remixers/artists.

    Anyway, Bump

    It's looking like this is gonna end up being an EP. I haven't been able to get in touch with Suzu, so I dunno what's up with his track, and mine has kinda hit a brick wall.

    So anyway...tracks semi-due tomorrow.

  6. I have some of my mixes as well as some of analoq's(though most of them are at ocr now). Also I have some classic smack and others.

    I'll upload when I get them at home.

    EDIT: I bet Kyle still has some of these too, and maybe Crimsonzeal.

    EDIT 2: And that list is missing the Mk64 competition, the Rainbow Road theme.

    Thanks. The list is just a ripped list from the web.archive.org page. I don't know how many rounds were held exactly.

    There were 20, but 19 and 20 (my first remix attempt ever) never got results. There were a whole round of sigs about it.

  7. winterlude-cover.jpg

    The idea came up last night, after a winter-themed compo on #soundtempest. The idea: Get a bunch of people together and put together an album in time for Christmas. Everyone does a track or two, and we get album art together and have it all ready to give out as gifts for the holidays.

    Everyone's responsible for their own track, and as long as you've got something complete, it'll get on. Any style's fine, as long as it fits some kind of winter or holiday theme.

    The deadline is December 20; this gives me time to get the back cover art together, as well as get everything uploaded and have it distributed by the weekend before Christmas. Everyone prints their own copies; I'll provide directions for those less savvy with printers.

    FLAC is preferred for the format, although if you don't have that kind of upstream, you can do high-bitrate MP3 or OGG. Distribution will happen in two ways - a FLAC download, which you'll have to convert to WAV and burn manually, and a torrent of an ISO of the final product.

    Obviously we can't go beyond the normal constraints of a CD, so if we go beyond 74 minutes (some of my family still have older players that won't do 80 minute burns, and I'm sure other people will too) we can either go to two discs or cut some stuff, and I'd rather not cut anything.

    I'd prefer these to be originals, although if you want to incorporate part of a game theme into it that's fine too. We're not selling this or anything, just putting something together as a gift. I've done this with my own music for a few years, and it's always been a hit with my aunt and cousins, but they've been short and not really themed. This is a chance to put together a nice homemade gift that wasn't done in pottery class. Reply or AIM me if you have any questions.

  8. Okay, fine, I'll play again. It's been so long that I've forgot my main character's name. I'll post it once I'm finished patching.

    Edit: Conan McBrien. I'm up to Divinity Coast, haven't tried the mission yet.

  9. DotM was disbanded a WHILE ago. I stopped playing because all the time I had available to play was spent updating, then I managed to play for 10 minutes, and the next time I wanted to play, it wanted HOURS of updates again.

  10. I think it's a shame that the classes aren't defined though. I can see how people can try the classes deal, but I don't think it'd matter much. I try to specialize a bit with my characters, but they end up being all-masterful mage knights.

    It's a self-imposed challenge, sort of like a FF7 no-materia game I guess, although that's much more restrictive. (I guess the equivalant would be no licence board, but that's more equivalant to an FFX no-anything challenge.) Thinking about it, it's probably closer to one of the FFT challenges, like "all squires" or "Ramza only". I wouldn't even think about trying it until I've beat the game once or twice though.

    And no licence board would be a VERY interesting challenge - I'm guessing you'd probably want to just level up a lot, and make sure you've got plenty of usable items. Having only two gambit slots would make things more difficult, unless you used "Wait" mode (I don't, it's just more fun that way I think).

  11. And of course, John DiMaggio, with a significantly limited role compared to his usual (Wakka and Kimahri in FFX, notably Bender in Futurama, among many many many others).

    This just gave me an idea - give Bender's voice to Wakka (and change some of the dialogue to match). Suddenly FFX becomes the greatest game ever.

  12. Myspace is just a marketing tool masquerading as a 'social networking' site. Traffic is traffic, and if it gets more listeners (and votes) then it's usually a good thing.

    If you're worried about it looking like crap, keep in mind they let you style it up yourself. While this usually results in complete crap most of the time, have you seen Rama's page?

    And just while we're on the subject, my car still needs friends! http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=129145975
