Trep cant you just sort of create your own account on that computer and name it "administrator" or something else vaguely cryptic?

Intrepid Homoludens · 04-11-2005, 06:46 PM

Well, I'd have to get into my sister's account to do that.

What really pisses me off is that I did all that work cleaning out their computer, helping them set up new and better internet connection, and teaching them how to better protect it, and he turns around and f#&ks me out behind my back.

I am definitely talking to my sister about it tomorrow.

For the most part, the demo works fine on my computer, but I'm occasionally getting the audio out of sync with the video (when there is a close up of the characters talking).

Also, I've been playing with the mouse, and it's a little buggy because I set the left mouse button as a control for forward movement, so it sometimes locks itself up in that position and Raz will move forward even though I'm not pressing it (it also causes run-on sentences -- hehe...).

I think those are the only two issues I have with it, the second one probably solveable by using a gamepad. Oh, and it seems like the cutscene volume is lower than the in-game volume...

Not a bad rig tobacco, but you need to update that vid card. It's looking a bit long in the tooth

Yes, well, the problem is in the bus. Were I to upgrade, I would want a PCIe card, and to do that I'd need a new motherboard as well, and that pushes the whole thing out of my price range

You win

Okay, guys, no bragging. This isn't the 3DRealms forums, you know. Next thing I know, you'll all be posting your system specs as your sigs. Scary, that.

So nobody's giving me a sympathy hug because my brother-in-law locked me out of their computer so I can't play the Psychonauts demo?

Krazy · 04-11-2005, 07:45 PM

Heh, just played it, awesome, just awesome

. Now my little brother's playing through it too

EvoG · 04-11-2005, 07:56 PM

Wow, and no point and click!

Cheers

Well, actually, I do feel for ya. Pretty rotten thing for him to do. But I think you should put peanut butter or ice cream in their optical drive. It's the only way you'll feel better, no matter how much condolences we give you.

Ya know what i'm doing? I'm playing the worlds smallest violin for you.

Intrepid Homoludens · 04-11-2005, 08:10 PM

It's not even that anymore. He betrayed me! I helped him set things up, with everything to help their computer run better, and he turns around and does this to me.

Glad I could help! Look, just burn the demo to a disc, and play it in your xbox. Problem solved. I do it all the time!

Huh? Is that even possible? Wouldn't it try to 'install' it in the console or something? That's just too weird. Nah, I'll just get my sister's password and play it then. Besides, it's installed in her account.

mszv · 04-11-2005, 09:29 PM

Wow, thanks everyone - I'm going to try to play the demo this weekend!

I actually wasn't trying to brag. I always kind of assume my computer's behind the curve a bit. Seriously
