<br />
    * SATURDAY DEC 19th, 2009<br />
    * 13:37 CET (Central European Time)<br />

<br />
Both the TeamSpeak 3 Client and Server will be available for download and testing on the following platforms:<br />
<br />
    * Windows (32bit and 64bit)<br />
    * Mac OS X (Intel and PPC)<br />
    * Linux (32bit and 64bit)<br />
<br />
We have received numerous queries regarding whether TeamSpeak 3 will be compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 and in short, both client and server WILL be compatible with these operating systems.

</div>Windows 7 compatibility is great news for the next generation of teamspeak. I am really hoping that this version will add many of the things we have wanted in TS. Hopefully <acronym title="Tactical Gamer">TG</acronym> can run a beta server. We shall see.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Dell XPS 630I<br />
Windows Vista<br />
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz<br />
3325 MB RAM<br />
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT<br />
<br />
<br />
So here's the deal...<br />
<br />
I was playing ArmA2 today and my computer locked up mid-game, with the graphics and colors messing up big time, along with looping sound. I was unable to alt+tab or get the task manager open, so I held the power button and turned it off. When I turned the computer back on, crazy things appeared on my screen as it booted up, including blue dots everywhere, vertical bars of green, overall messed up graphical glitches. When I get to the login screen, there are 5 vertical bars about 1 inch in width each and 3 inches apart, spanning the height of my monitor. The bars themselves are kind of like &quot;screen tears&quot;, where the pixels are all different colors of the current window I have up, and they &quot;dance around&quot; whenever I drag a window around or move my cursor. I literally have to drag this window so that the line of text I'm typing falls under one of the 3 inch portions of my screen that still shows up non-blurry.<br />
<br />
I've tried multiple times to uninstall and then reinstall my display drivers, with no results - the bars remain. I'm almost completely convinced this has something to do with my drivers or graphics because of many things I've noticed. I no longer have the &quot;Nvidia Control Panel&quot; option when right-clicking on my desktop. Also, my windows have been minimizing and maximizing not smoothly. When my computer was working properly, when I minimized or maximized a window, it would give the appearance of &quot;shrinking&quot; to the task bar or &quot;expanding&quot; from the task bar to my desktop. Now it just disappears and appears without the animations. Also, I used to be able to hover my cursor over a window in the task bar, and a mini-window would pop up, previewing what was on that window. That no longer happens as well. Lastly, when I go to Nvidia's website and use their online tool to check what version of drivers I have, it only shows as &quot;--&quot;, meaning it doesn't recognize that I have <i>any</i> drivers installed at all.<br />
<br />
I've been using the older 182.50 GeForce drivers because they were the only ones stable with ArmA2 (the other newer drivers I was using caused crash-to-desktops).<br />
<br />
After countless restarts, checking the cable to my monitor, and re-installations of my display drivers, I'm all out of ideas folks. Any help or advice would be appreciated more than I could possibly show through the internet.<br />
<br />
Hell, I've even tried launching <acronym title="Armed Assault">ArmA</acronym> and other games after reinstalling my drivers, still with these damned bars on my screen, and it gave me this error: &quot;Display Adapter does not support format D24S8 for X8R8G8B8.&quot;</div>

After big releases like Uncharted 2, Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin's Creed 2 Take 2 Marin's Bioshock 2 could very well be the first really big thing in 2010. The FPS which is going to revisit the atmospheric underwater world of &quot;Rapture&quot; makes the top of a list containing of 25 most anticapted games chosen by several thousand readers. Final Fantasy XIII came in second, followed by Sony's God of War 3. Other follow-ups as listed in the source are games like Mafia 2, Max Payne 3 or Gran Turismo 5.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I was checking through the add ons for Firefox today for something that has some specific behavior. <br />
<br />
I would like it to filter out any picture that has a name with a certain text, or links to a page with certain text in the link. <br />
<br />
I would like it to filter out links completely that have key words as part of their name or the link they are going to. <br />
<br />
Example: Sarah Palin is not news in my opinion, just like twitter, dancing with the stars and other newsvertisements. I'd like to be able to filter out any mention of them when browsing news sites like BBC and CNN. I've thought about using Adblock but the approach I tried is not working as I had hoped. <br />
<br />
Anyone have a suggestion?</div>

Everyone who has played though Dark Carnival are familiar with the band Midnight Riders. Well, apparently they survived the gig area...<br />
<br />
What's also worth mentioning is that there's four of them all having rather distinct silhouettes...<br />

<br />
I think I smell L4D2 DLC coming with these characters. And who knows, maybe they know Francis, being bikers themselves. Maybe one of them is Francis who decided to shave himself. <a href="http://secretoptionf.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/left-4-dead-1-old-new-comparison.jpg" target="_blank">Beta L4D comparison shot of unshaved Francis</a>.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I Have a big scale mission set up that starts with only 3 task/objectives. They are to man the OP's 1,2,&amp;3. After thay as per the brief you pull security. 5-7mins later there is an all out assault by our little russian friends.<br />
<br />
My question is this<br />
<br />
How do I update the objectives once the assault starts? I need something to pop up and say &quot;Hey they are attacking hold the line, yadda yadda&quot;<br />
<br />
The catch is. I dont want the players to be able to see that task in the brief....Can anyone help me with this? Would it have to be like a side task like in our Domi missions?</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I would like to apologize to everyone here in the forums for my post in the Prisoner of War thread. I used some very harsh language/words. Eventhough they where edited it still does not excuse my use of them, nor does it make it right. I apologize if my post offended anyone and I take full responsibility for my actions. Just know that I did what I did to try and end the fight that we where having. <acronym title="Tactical Gamer">TG</acronym>'s best interest was at the forefront of what I did and said. <br />
<br />
        Again, I am sorry for my language and I promise everyone here in the Forums that it will <b><i>NOT</i></b> happen again.<br />
<br />
Respectfully-<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hello guys. My name is niko and i'm going to start playing <acronym title="Armed Assault">ArmA</acronym> 2 next week when i'm done with my new build.<br />
<br />
Some of you might remember me from time when I played with you in summer and little bit in autumm. Reason I stopped playing is that I've had pretty weak computer that lagged always. It wasn't big but I got annoyed by that so I started building new computer.<br />
<br />
I have been reading these forums all the time I haven't been playing and waiting eagerly for my build to be ready so I can start playing again.<br />
<br />
I'm waiting to start playing some awesome games with you again.<br />
<br />
<br />
With best regards<br />
niko<br />
<br />
ps. Sorry for broken english. I'm from Finland so i'm speaking &quot;finglish&quot; (you know the joke ?)</div>

 Command &amp; Conquer 4 producer Raj Joshi has said that he thinks &quot;some (RTS players) have very little balance in their life&quot;, and that dominating another person in a videogame is their world.<br />
