Tech Support / Alt+Tab and Loss of Sound
February 28, 2015, 05:26:48 PM
Context:  I installed SWBF (3 CD set) on a computer running Windows 7.  That computer no longer works.  The first disk is stuck in the computer's CD bay.  Prior to that computer's failure, I had copy-and-pasted the LucasArts folderto an external hard drive and from that external hard drive copy-and-pasted it where it belongs on the newer computer.  SWBF works as it should, in general--there're black lines on either side of the screen but with BattleBelk's resolution changer Battlefront turns to 1080p in game.

Problem: When I alt+tab out of Battlefront, occasionally I return to Battlefront but with no sound.  I do not have this problem every time I alt+tab.   Indeed, sometimes I alt+tab once and return to Battlefront with sound only to, a couple of minutes later, alt+tab and return to no sound (so I can't think if it's a problem with something else I'm running).  Battlefront is the only game I have this alt+tab problem with.  I did not have this problem on my old notebook.

General / Xbox One Revealed
May 21, 2013, 10:25:16 AM
http://gizmodo.com/the-new-xbox-everything-you-need-to-know-about-microso-509033619

It was revealed today.
Seems like it was designed by Google, not Microsoft. 

Talked about features:

Can apparently start it by saying "Xbox on."
Don't need to go through menus on your TV to go to TV mode.  Xbox One offers a more seamless transition.
Brings Skype to Xbox.
Can see fantasy teams while watching sports.

Talked about specs:

System:
8GB RAM (from 512MB)
8 core CPU
Blu-ray
500 GB HDD

Updated controller:
Something like key binding is one of the biggest announcements

SmartGlass now natively ingrained with Xbox One.

New Xbox LIVE to be powered by upwards of 300,000 servers (from 15,000 if I heard correctly) inviting speculation as to dedicated servers.

EA was there, too.  They mentioned something about daily add ons... more DLC?

Call of Duty: Ghost... addressing concerns that they're making Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.
All new game.  All new engine.

General / ITT: Riddles, Trivia, and Other Minutiae
January 23, 2013, 07:59:39 PM
I'm having trouble concentrating on my reading; therefore, I thought of an idea for a thread: in this thread, riddles, trivial information, as well as tips will be posted.

To begin with, I'll post a riddle.  Actually, here is a correction: I will post a riddle relayed in series.

Zahads is my favorite series of riddles available electronically (I've gotten farther in it than in any other series of riddles available electronically because Zahada is more user friendly than the others).

Star Wars Battlefront (2004 Original) / Bandwidth
September 24, 2012, 04:01:16 PM
Okay, so my school's networking policy allots each student just over 100GB of bandwidth a month across various devices (so that my computer and my Xbox both use the same source of internet)--I'm wondering how much bandwidth is taken up by playing Star Wars Battlefront?

Hi!

I like Metallica, hence the title.  If you already knew that it was a Metallica reference, you da man (or woman as the case may be).

Anyway, what do I put in here?  Huh...

Well, feel free to call me BS. 
My xfire is 5hadowclaw (it should be under the avatar, I believe--but I see everything twice).

I'm a Windows user, for what it's worth.

Uh...
Hmmm...

Hi?  :D
