old game, new computer

i guess the old unreal timing code doesn't quite work with my fancy new computer. i was trying to play deus ex today but everything was running 5 times faster. i usually play with run always, but i switch that off. that works fine for walking around in general, but the dialog quits off early. both the voice over and the text.

on a related new computer issues note. i installed the new nvidia drivers and i made it farther in 3dmark05 this time. now i can get to what seems like the end of the first cpu test.

i ran the cod2 demo and that ran fine. then i installed the fear demo.. which runs fine as long as you don't hang out in the MENUS for too long. crazyness.

as for those demos. i played the fear demo when it first came out. i just didn't care for it. i just don't get a kick out of 'just shooting things' anymore. i need more than that. now the cod2.. same thing. now you can see why i tried to play deus ex, but failed there too.

i ordered up space rangers 2 (what you have never heard of it? me neither until a few days ago) and that should be here soon, maybe that'll keep me.

here's a review of space rangers.. http://netjak.com/review.php/1021
