Shameless Screenshots (very large image files.. NOT for dial-up)

I tried RTCW in MP today. It is nothing like Quake III or UT. It actually takes good strategy to win matches...that and playing on teams is way different than Deathmatch. I enjoyed it. It doesn't get boring so quick(DM gets old). When I first started I treated it like DM and I blew all of my teammates away until they all ganged up on me and blew my head off. LoL

OpenGL does wonders for Doom, the game that really started the FPS craze. Wolf3D was the first...but it was so flat and plain. I know that I never once jumped out of my socks throughout the entire Wolf3D game. It simply didn't have any terrifying, feeling of lonliness factors to it. Doom really made you feel like you were in a lonely, terrifying 3D environment back in the day. Honestly it feels weird to play it after all these years of playing modern FPS's. The control system for Doom is so different(even though the GL engine being used adds mouselook/mouse aim to the game).

Zombie, I can tell you have a powerful machine just by looking at those pics. My machine is much weaker.  Here is a screen of UT2003. Once again, all my screenshots are from linux with OpenGL, so dont expect any directX shots from me.

It's all good. Believe me, I don't have anything against OpenGL games or OpenGL gaming. OpenGL is good as it allows people with older machines to enjoy decent games. The only time you will hear me trash talk OpenGL in favor of DirectX is when some moron comes around and tries to claim that DirectX is shit when it really isn't. ;P

Both API's are good for 3D gaming.

DirectX may not be shit as a gaming API, but the fact remains that it is stuck to Windows, making it difficult to port games using DirectX to other platforms (including consoles), and has many security holes (like this one, for instance.

I have nothing against directX, in fact it was kind of a lie when I said dont expect directX screenshots from me because Im running WineX which  emulates DirectX 8.1 to play windows games, such as Sim City 4 and Warcraft 3 if you look at the icons on my desktop. I just hope that a more open gaming API emerges after everything to bring simplified porting of games to Windows, Macs, and Linux.

I don't understand. What's wrong with it? It's simply saying that the first device does not support DMA.
