666 panda scares me....

Nice I need to start watching this show. I can't believe I never noticed it till now.

 

[sirdanrhodes]

Russ should have actually been set on fire, go for authenticity!

Brief edit, what the FUCK, possessed you to do the awesome panda...

666 panda scares me....

youtube for "Immortal - Call of the wintermoon" This should undo your fear for "Metal-Panda's"

 

[Mariena]

To be honest.. I understood about half of what that guy said..

For some reason, videos wont play through Firefox but they will with IE.

Our video player was recently upgraded. If you're running any kind of adblocker, it will not load. :-/ Sorry about that.

Russ with a sledgehammer made me nostalgic for Donkey Kong.

To be honest.. I understood about half of what that guy said..

You managed to get half of that in? Actually I was busy musing on when Russ tries to overclock his system. Think after today there will be a padlock installed on his pc case, put there by the IT guys.

This one's adblock's issue; their recent update breaks it. All was happy and nice with the new player for days before that.

You know, for all the gags and talk about the CryEngine, you know we're just thinking of the freaky Panda.
Dang, that is one freaky panda.

 

[headshotcatcher]

I thought we would get some footage of you playing Russ

Panda made up for it though (Poor kitties, they stood no chance )

 

[Gilgamesh00]

Well I like how the guy thinks, I only hope they do manage to learn from their mistakes and make a much better game (not that Crysis wasn't a good game), or rather, I hope they're able to differentiate between what was good and what was bad about their first game.

Also, the panda was randomly scary.

 

[Nerdfury]

To be honest.. I understood about half of what that guy said..

I don't get people that can't understand what other people with accents foreign to their own are saying.

Seems like what he was essentially saying at the start there is his mission statement was to create technologically-advanced games that won't run on your average new PC.

 

[Miral]

For some reason, videos wont play through Firefox but they will with IE.

I have the opposite problem -- I can play the videos just fine in Firefox/Chrome, but the player refuses to load at all (just a black box) in IE.

Might have something to do with my uptime, though. I haven't rebooted for >3 months...

 

[Fenring]

Russ, how much would I have to pay you to "upgrade" my computer? I currently have an iMac G4 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMac_G4], and I would like to see it "upgraded" as soon as possible.

 

[TwistedEllipses]

As a pyromaniac I'm disappointed in your CGI fire effect...

Yep. I disabled a filter for a script which I thought "hmmm, yes!" and now it works again, with adblock.

Which one it was? I have no clue.

 

[Cixelsid]

Dude, why are you hammering and drilling your drive bays?

 

[InProgress]

Russ, thank you for a great lesson in upgrading/installing components in PC cases. Now, where did I put that Rubix's cube?
