I've solved it. The answer was a headslapper: you have to start the game with the Rift plugged into the HDMI outlet. If a regular monitor is plugged in instead then the game crashes. I've been swapping wires while in-game for everything else, so I didn't see this coming.

I've posted in other forums already - I just figured I'd have better luck if I tried every possible option, however dubious. The Rift is amazing! I was unsure of it after my first experience. It was neat but seemed lacking... I then realized I had the resolution messed up and tried again with a...

Man it's been a while since I've posted on these forums... Anyways, I just got myself an Oculus Rift and was all hyped up to play Half-Life 2 on it. So I activated the Steampipe beta, added in '-vr' to the launch options, started up the game and... Nothing. There's a brief white flash as the...

I think going commercial with Insurgency - at least right now - might not be the best choice. Insurgency may be a good game (or at least that's what I've heard), but ultimately, what's going to separate it in people's minds from all the countless other modern military shooters flooding the...

I've darkened the text slightly. Is it any better?

So I'm trying to write a novel. I've wanted to write a novel since I was ten, so this is pretty much one of my grand aspirations, I guess. The protagonist is a marketer named Sam O'Sullivan. It's set in an alternative 1987 where Earth was conquered by aliens decades ago. In a reversal of the...

Well if I've learned anything lately it's that you should never make assumptions about how someone feels about you. If you're going to do anything, just make sure it isn't drastic.

My final post in this thread. So I decided "screw talking. Why talk when I can SING?" and made a stupid little rock opera out of Styx karaoke songs with modified lyrics explaining what happened and how I felt. My logic was that even if she didn't like me we could both walk away from this...

I think you're right, Kipling. This girl does not seem like a cruel or manipulative person. I'm going to just talk with her. I'm going to be honest with her and try to get her to be honest with me. It's a bit frustrating though, because for the past few days I either haven't been able to...

Howdy.

It's a ball with beads in it. Anyway, the nature of the ball is beside the point.

Well I could go through an exhaustive list but I'll spare you the time and just deliver the penultimate portion: at one point she climbed on top of me and tried to shove a hacky sack into my mouth with hers. I don't know - can you see where I'm coming from?

We're staring into each other's eyes and I think "it's now or never" and go for it. As I lean in she says "what are you doing?". I immediately retreat and say "I... Uh... What do you think I'm doing?". After a few seconds of awkward silence she goes on talking like nothing happened. The...

Don't pat yourselves on the back just yet - it just turned Tuesday here. I'll report back in about twenty-four hours.
