Quoting: SeredThe DMCA take down notices are being produced automatically, are they not?In this case it was an automatic content ID claim. Only thing that does is occasionally block the video in some countries and redirect the ad revenue to the content holder. There is a chance they might affect our standing on YouTube though, so we try to be extra careful with them.

Quoting: neffoThis all seems like a confected outrage. This isn't DRM. And by all accounts it's a trivial matter to bypass. (Why wasn't this mentioned in the post?)I might have overlooked that bit when I went through the forum thread. Based on the messages I read and the tip that was given to us I got the impression that the password wasn't general knowledge.
By the sounds of it, this would work:
GAMENAME=neverwinter_nights_diamond_edition
GAMEID=`curl -s -o- http://www.gog.com/game/$GAMENAME | pcregrep --buffer-size 1M -o1 "addToCart\('/cart/add/(\d+)'\)"`
unrar x p`echo $GAMEID | md5sum | cut -d ' ' -f 1` $FILE

Instead of crashing when firing the shotgun, the game now crashes when firing the assault rifle. Can't say I'm impressed.

I can't max it out on my Intel i5 2500k @ 3.33 GHz + GTX 760 machine without frequent frame drops. After dropping everything down to High from Ultra I can maintain a mostly solid 60 FPS experience with occasional drops to 30.

Quoting: LK901How powerful a rig do you need? :PI guess clarifying my specs would be a good idea to do. :P

Interstellar Marines Update 16 “Assault On Starcrown Aerospace” Is Live

Quoting: ElectricPrismHow do players like this game compared against CoD & Halo? I've been wanting a good PC FPS for a while but CS:S and CS:GO didn't have the Halo feel, the closest I found was Section 8: Prejudice but unfortunately its Windows only and the Devs abandoned it.This is nothing like Halo, at least the only Halo I've played which was Halo: Combat Evolved. This is more of a CS-style FPS with heavy focus on tactics. You are very vulnerable, can't make high jumps and you have to cooperate with your team in order to succeed. Going guns blazing like in Halo is only going to get you killed.
Hows Interstellar Marines?
Speculation: BioShock Infinite Might Be an eON port

Quoting: afettouhiBioshock Infinite is a DirectX11 game and as far as I know eON only supports DX9. So that seems rather unlikely that the port uses eON technology.As it happens, person also mentioned that they were in fact working on making eON compatible with DX10 and DX11. We don't know if that functionality is yet in place, but they've at very least thought about it and experimented with it.
Edit: This happened months ago on the IRC channel.
7 Days To Die, A Sandbox Zombie Survival Game Finally Arrives On Linux

Quoting: valczirJust out of curiosity, am I wrong for reacting to this news with, "Do we care? A-Are we caring about that?"Well, not really. My initial reaction to this was "That's not possible." which then turned into "Meh. No more 7DTD jokes on the IRC then, I guess.".
I have so little respect for this studio, by now, that I don't think I would buy their game even if it were the next Dark Souls.

Quoting: Ajdrew70Would Castawesome record locally as well? Would it do both streaming and recording locally?It can do both local and live but not at the same time. Technically that wouldn't be too hard to implement, you'd just need to have two separate FFmpeg instances running at the same time. But with Twitch and Hitbox both offering a place where you can highlight and export VODs I don't think it's a priority feature. I'll take a look when I have the time.
