I don't like your idea of a clicky...

ebil...

The Devil In Me

I shot John F.Kennedy in Dallas in 63
They blamed it on Oswald carelessly
But it was the devil in me
Put Jesus on the cross, I put a gag on the Boss
I kissed him on the cheek so he couldn't speak
But that was the devil in me
It was the devil in me
It's the devil in me that's unleveling me
Put it down to the devil in me

I made you breakfast, put poisoned sheets on the bed
I made you cry, couldda made you laugh instead
But that was the devil in me
So I killed you off, I tore your famous brown fur coat
I laughed at your cough, ignored your suicide note
But that was the devil in me.....

I blew up the bus, I started World War III
Hijacked the plane with Qadaffi, blew the hostages free
That was the devil in me
I'm sponsored by a company that I don't believe in
I advertise their things for cash, that ain't deceiving
No, that's just the devil in me
It was the devil in me....

I gave you acid rain
I polluted the sea
I covered your thoughts up
With graffiti
You can call me by my real name
Or you can call me humanity
Because it all seems just like human behavior
It all seems like human behavior to me
Put it down to the devil in me

It was the devil in me
It was the devil in me
Well it's the devil in me makes me do these things
Devil in me that makes me sing
Devil in me gave you a wedding ring
Put it down to the devil in me

Wow Theo... You either need to change the porn sites you go to, or start dating different women...

Love the Dubya countdown though :)

I agree with Frostman. That's either the comment either of someone who's never actually seen a woman or only seen very, very strange ones.

For those of us without insanely great graphics cards, cats, and now darkness rising will be so insanely dark.

I don't know if it's against the NDA or what, but I think the DR client runs better on my box than catacombs, even with the pretty cities.

And does this mean we can post screens from thron rooms etc, or is the NDA still on by non-mythic released pics?

Hmm and I just got my fonts made bigger so I could see to play longer.

Now this looks like it might be too dark for me to be able to play DR :-(

Wish they would improve our torch light or something. I already have brightness and contrast cranked way up on my monitor.


The graphics do look sweet tho, just too dark for my eyes.

Where the hell is the gamma correction for this game anyway?

EDIT:
I don't mean where is the option in the client. I mean, wtf is the game doing without this option...

The new stuff looks *really* good. I noticed the Doom 3 similarities as well, it's a nice upgrade, especially since many other games are like cheesy cartoons. Btw is the one with the ice ceiling and light shining through Tuscaren Glacier? Looks like I'm going to have to explore every place in the game again.

About it being too dark, those are probably without Torch on, and with default monitor settings. Chances are, you can turn it up a bit. There are a lot of dungeons currently that dark with no adjustments and without torch.

" ---->DARKNESS<---- rising."

Yeah, to revamp DARKNESS Falls which is not very dark, so try again.

Besides, as a few people here know I have a visual impairment and small print and dark places are difficult for me to see.

Not my fault that my vision is slowly going away and eventually it'll be gone.

Trying to enjoy DAOC for as long as I can see to do so.


EDIT:

I hadnt thought about that. For screenshot pic purposes that is probably true.

Can't wait to see what it will 'really' look like in game and with adjustments.

Looks nice, but hell was always meant to be dark.

BTW the Dwarf screen looks bloody brilliant.

I'm in Beta, and I've actually found that the very small details are much more noticable and I've seen no noticable difference with generally being able to see. Screenshots do tend to look darker than the real thing, I don't know why though.
