1UP FM Backlog (edited mp3 files)
Posted 30th June 2010 in Games, Internet
“Backlog” was a segment on the now-defunct 1UP FM podcast where they played through games they considered to be overlooked and then discussed them. Kind of like a book club for games.
Here I’ve edited those podcast episodes so that only the Backlog segments are left. I didn’t have enough space, so I had to use RapidShare.
- Beyond Good and Evil (70 MB)
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (90 MB)
- Indigo Prophecy (95 MB)
- Psychonauts (104 MB)
- Shadow of the Colossus (98 MB)
If you liked 1UP FM’s Backlog I suggest you check out Game Club on Rebel FM where they continue the tradition.
If Trine is crashing on you …
Posted 12th July 2009 in Games
The beautiful indie game Trine ran at a very inconsistent framerate and crashed on me several times, especially when there were physics involved. It was strange, because I assumed that a game like this shouldn’t be very demanding.
I found out that the problem was antialiasing. The difference between having it on or off is very noticable on most games, framerate-wise, but in Trine it’s the difference between crashing every ten minutes and running smoothly.
So disable antialiasing if you’re having problems.
If that doesn’t work, check the official forums.
Getting Far Cry 2 online multiplayer to work
Posted 30th November 2008 in Games
The online key is really just your CD key. I think you have to type it in with hypens, but not in caps.
You need to register at ubi.com for it to work. The password form don’t accept certain characters, so I wouldn’t use non-alphanumeric characters if I were you.
If you get a PunkBuster error while loading an online map, you must update it (PunkBuster, not the game). For some reason it didn’t work updating it with the PBSetup client, so I had to download the actual update instead. Go to the Far Cry 2 page on the PunkBuster website, download the latest file for your operating system, and put it in the “Far Cry 2/bin/pb/htm” folder.
Edit: Do not ask me for a CD key.
