I don't have any 'blurry' problem with it, Luvian. Wonder what does that for you and your brother?

Sounds like a graphics issue, though it also may be a monitor issue...or you all may just have that medical condition that causes dizziness with certain patterns of flashing lights. It's not terribly uncommon.

I wish one of my professors didn't think I was stupid :S

I heard the bane of our office existence, my co-worker from the black lagoon, is retiring after this season...whooo! I know it will mean a whole different set of things to do/get used to as we transition but no more having a co-worker who admitted once she was 'in it for herself and would walk on anyone she had to to get what she wanted or thought she needed'. And has...to the point of leaving shoe prints on my back some days.... Yah, very nice grandmotherly type...uh huh........ But she's only around a few more months and with any luck in a a year or less (red tape, budget and all notwithstanding) we'll have a replacement and hopefully he/she will be alot more willing to work and do so as a team!

Nah, it only does it with that game, and I have a P4 3ghz, 256 megs NVIDIA, 1.5 Gigs of RAM. I should get no problem running this game.

I have one of those flat flatscreen monitor, so it could have been that, but my brother has a regular monitor and get the problem too.

So I play my first hockey game in two weeks after coming back from a back injury, and lo and behold, at the beginning of the third period, I go down to block a shot and get it right in the unpadded area at the inside of my thigh. I guess I'm lucky, cuz 6 inches higher and my voice would've jumped a little in pitch.

[Sir Goulum]

Ouch. So are you out again, Moose?
I didn't know you played hockey, though I naturally assumed you were a fan. I'm absolutely terrible at hockey, though if you had to pick a position for me, I'd probably be a defence or goalie since I'm not that fast at skating and my shooting skills are just... bad. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[True_Moose]

No, no, I just have a half-black leg, and have to ice it a lot. Luckily, we don't play again until Saturday, and it's wholly irrelevant anyway, seeing as how our team is an amazing 1-31-0. For those of you keeping track, that is a 3.125 winning percentage.

Played since I was 7, I saw the Lillehammer Olympics and got hooked. Neither of my parents played, they can barely skate, so I never got that being on the ice since age 2 thing that some Canadians have. I have good size and good hockey sense, and I work my butt off, which coaches love, but I'm severely lacking in natural athleticism, which is why I work out a ton. I have a real shot at playing Junior A out in Okotoks next year, and then maybe getting a scholarship somewhere, so this year it's all hockey all the time. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[Cloudbringer]

Ouch, that sounds unpleasant, True Moose! I hope you're back on your skates in no time...but do be careful! [img]smile.gif[/img]

[True_Moose]

What's worrying is that every day, it seems like it's growing bigger! There aren't any parasites that live in rubber hockey pucks are there? [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img]

[DrowArchmage]

Not that i know of, but you could be the unlucky one who discovers them.That would stink.
