any recommendations for a user-friendly program that automatically backs up smp worlds?

I don't condone the using of donor carts. You can read my rant from somewhere else on why I don't support the idea or practice.

wish I saw this before you got banned. guess I'll forever be cursed to wonder why 'nensondubois' does not condone donor carts

Today's Steam deals are amazing. Metro 2033 for $10, Beat Hazard for $2.50, and JUST CAUSE 2 FOR $7.50!

All three games are actually good from what I know! And totally affordable!

Tasks are downloading and watching trailers to specific games, some rank in Metro 2033, destroying 30 objects in 60 seconds in Just Cause 2 (this is EASY as boxes and crap count as objects), and 3,770,488 leaderboard score on Survival in Beat Hazard.

You missed the best sale of all! Killing Floor for $6.80

I can also verify that the co-op in Killing Floor kicks ass and is totally worth it. I see myself having a lot more fun with this game than I ever did with Left 4 Dead

I played SimCity 2000 to death. as a kid with a Mac you can imagine how limited my options were, so I really got into this game. I love it. I'd still play it today if I could on my 64bit Windows 7 machine.

for a while I tried emulating an old Mac OS in order to access my old games and files, but I could never get it to work. has anyone here had any luck in this department?

so you need a festive key to open those festive crates


should have traded them off before people knew how they worked

(I have four of the dang things)

people are opening them like mad, you can still trade them for a lot before everyone realizes the market is becoming flooded with holiday junk

I love SMBX and eagerly await the day netplay is released to the public

once again I got suckered into buying a bunch of cheap games I don't even have time to enjoy. such as:
aquaria
bioshock
braid
gish
killing floor
lugaru hd
machinarium
osmos
penubra overture
super meat boy
tidalis
world of goo

I have no idea what several of these are even about. I'll be sure to find out once I finish this thing in minecraft I'm working on, I mean it this time

check out steamcalculator to feel good about yourself

I once played it, it didn't really impress me much so I stopped. I think I prefer SMW hacks, actually

---

I tried playing it. Couldn't make it physically past the very first screen of the program it was that frozen.

---

my laptop's the same way, you have to give it like five minutes or so, it just takes ages to load. do some chores or something in the meantime. be sure to grab a friend to play with because it's loads of fun

that reminds me of the chunk errors that ruined my world

Changing the texture pack would not improve FPS, if that's what you're asking.

Besides setting render distance to short and graphics type to fast, something I find helps a lot is going into your processes (task manager) and setting the priority of javaw to "high".

You can use FastRender and McRegion mods to increase your framerate.

Quandary is the one I use too, I like having it look similar to the original textures. There are quite a few great packs available.
Tronic is good for a simplified look


ClassyCraft is also strangely endearing


if you enjoy gameboy colors, you might want to look at CraftBoy


if you're looking to increase the resolution of your textures:
AnimalCrafting


Arid


Misa's Realistic


so those are just a few packs I really like

This seems to be the only decent one out there.

On that note, you did just remind me that I wanted to do a Metroid pack

---

you should, because the one you linked is weak

they patched it so you can't stack the effects of the GRU and the steak anymore, unfortunately. I'd only bother with the steak in degroot these days. the fists of steel are fantastic.

Stocking Stuffer Key + Festive Crate = Team Spirit for me
I painted Foster's Facade my friend gave me with it. Now I have a team colored mask for Pyro .

---

that sounds great. I wish the foster's facade was a misc slot item so you could put hats on it. but then you wouldn't be able to wear that tie I guess

hudda hudda huh

minemapper is a great mapping tool for that might help you locate where your cave-house is. have you made a compass? do you have any idea where your house is in relation to spawn?
