Steel Storm 2 development update
25 Aug 2012 at 4:04 pm UTC

Quoting: "KIAaze, post: 5269, member: 16"Why are some videos playable in HTML5 and other not anyway? Can't Google convert them all to an HTML5 compatible format? Or at least the newly uploaded ones?

Not trying to take this thread permanently off topic, but certain videos will not play because of advertisements, and not all of them have yet to be converted. The problem in this case was that it was uploaded without WebM support, which is strange and I do not know what went wrong. It has been a long time since I have tried uploading anything to YouTube - so I do not know - but maybe there is a toggle or something?

Small complaint, but when I tried to play the video it says that there are no available formats available, and when I went to download it there was no WebM version (which probably explains the error). As someone using HTML5 video on YouTube with Linux this can be a little annoying. First time I have seen that error in fact (there are videos that plain won't work, but those do not play with HTML5 in general).

Does anyone else feel old about optical media being something special and not the norm? ;)

Tomes of Mephistopheles new screencast

Quoting: "motorsep, post: 5190, member: 154"I used Fraps on Windows. There is nothing on Ubuntu 12.04 to record good quality screencast :(

glc is pretty good once you get it installed (which can be a bit annoying as it is not packaged by most distros for some reason), and if you do not want to mess around with scripts and terminal commands you could use my Soul Capture program with it. ;)

Hmm... and I felt cheap for grabbing it when it was only 75% off. :P

It seems to mostly be that the development tools are harder to understand and use than for some other engines.

New Valve Linux Blog Post Talks About Performance
2 Aug 2012 at 3:04 am UTC

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 5125, member: 122"It's probably worth noting that their test system specs are pretty extreme. I don't know anybody running 32GB of RAM ^_^

For a modern large game developer that is pretty much par the course though.

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 5125, member: 122"Also, this is 32 bit Linux vs 64 but Windows.

Now that sounds to be counterintuitive.
