HSHIN  Poor or zero download rate can be attributed to either your ISP's P2P-throttling, or your ports not being forwarded correctly.

HSHIN  The only way on OS X to split a 5.1 AC3 into 6 audio files, to be recombined in QuickTime to form a 5.1 channel AAC.

HSHIN  It's not rocket science. Just read the flipping wiki through, maybe 3 times over if you're that slow. And stop leaving a one star just cos you can't read. You're on a computer, you gotta learn to read some at some point, ok?

HSHIN  Although it's cool that this UB update is free, the absence of volumetric shadow is a little disturbing. Only simple shadow works.

HSHIN  People actually drop 2000 bucks to play Tetris on their computers. 4 1/2 stars too. Awesome. Beautiful world.

HSHIN  Never re-encode unless it's absolutely necessary. These days most AVI files can be played on VLC, so just go with that.

Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
Sep 4 2006

HSHIN  With the possible exception of Nanosaur 2 and Otto Matic, Pangeasoft's games are using some pretty basic AI and graphics engine. All of which can't hold a candle to the kind of stuff found in commercial PC games, of which Jedi Knight comes from.

Random Factor Mahjong

HSHIN  I really wish more people would research the market, even a little, before rolling out yet another Shanghai clone. Newsflash: we have enough of these. To be precise, we have about 20 copies of Shanghai now floating around in MacUpdate alone. And the trouble with the Shanghai game is that you can only arrange the tiles so many times before the player gets numb to the gameplay. It wouldn't matter if you add 3D or even shaders to the game, a tired (soon-to-be) 30 year old game is just that.

The uniniated to the actual game of Mahjong can go to this page to learn how to play:

http://mahjong.uchicago.edu

Done properly, the real Mahjong can be a ever-changing, fun online game. If nothing else, at least it'd set your version of Mahjong apart from the rest.

HSHIN  Whoops, Sorry, In my haste I forgot the game first came out on the Mac in 1-bit graphics. Well I did first see it on the Amiga in glorious 6-bit.

HSHIN  The original game to all these clones is called Shanghai, published by Activision. It was the brainchild of Brodie Lockard.

http://www.fregger.com/harvestmoon/shanghai.html

It first appeared on the Commodore Amiga--otherwise known as the best computer there ever was, back when everybody else was doing 1 bit sound and 2-bit graphics. Imagine PCs with 4 colors. Apple II had 6. Look up Mobygames.

http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/activisions-shanghai-series

And this is a real game of Mahjong. It's a lot more complicated. Take a few evenings to learn the rules, but works great as an online game for 4. Any big game publishers want to get it right for real Mahjong lovers?

HSHIN  Instead of relying on Safari, you can switch to Firefox. Next you add a free extension called DownThemAll, and the download will be trouble-free.

What you've just decribed can be done with iPhoto.

HSHIN  Basically a homage to the video game that guzzled up pocket change like mad during the 80s--a game widely known as "1941". http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=0&game_id=6765

Here the graphics isn't nearly as captivating as one would like, to put it mildly. It's limited to the retro top-down flat world view. This should appeal to straight-up shoot-em-uppers who never tire of such games. It's good for what it is, but not for this price.

HSHIN  More a showcase than an actual game. For what it is though, it's a real stunner, even if only holds your attention for 2 minutes. Still, if this ever gets expanded into anything like Panzer Dragoon, I'll be standing by to hit that Paypal button.

HSHIN  And how is Kill Monty a better game than this? It's not even a better game than Mutant Storm, which came out a lot earlier, and features x1000 better graphics, sound and not to mention, gameplay. Check it out. http://www.pompomgames.com/mutantstorm.htm
