Strangely enough, I just discovered the
difference between high-quality chocolate and low-quality
chocolate.
...Going back to Shenmue...I
was rather surprised at the number of people who worked on the game. Sure, we
all knew that zillions of people worked on it but it just doesn't sink in until
you see the names all scroll by in huge
chunks.
...Other weirdness: My dad's
cheap soundcard hasn't been making noise in a long time, so he finally asked me
to look at it.... Under "Play Control," each volume slider has a little check
box underneath marked "Select." You have to check the boxes if you want sound
from "CD Audio" or "Synthesizer," etc. My card (SB
Live!
..."Microsoft Mechwarrior
Vengeance" demo does not work on my system. I even downloaded the latest beta
drivers for my video card.... I'm also irritated how microsoft has to stick its
name on everything like that.... I haven't really liked Mechwarrior since the
first game. Even if the graphics were simple, so was the control--that made it
manageable!
Strangely enough, I just discovered the
difference between high-quality chocolate and low-quality chocolate. (Well, one

Wow.

culprit? Under "Play Control," each volume slider has a little check box
underneath marked "Select." You have to check the boxes if you want sound from
"CD Audio" or "Synthesizer," etc. My card (SB Live! Value) doesn't have "Select"
boxes. They're "Mute" boxes.

This demo has never worked for me. I'm also irritated how microsoft has to stick
its name on everything like that. It's rather intrusive. Oh, well. I haven't
really liked Mechwarrior since the first game. Even if the graphics were simple,
so was the control--that made it manageable!
