Hahaha!

Well, it was oriented towards mobile, but it also included a lot of features for the desktop. We got a new task manager, Hyper-V which is an official way to emulate in Windows, a smaller footprint, USB 3.0 installed by default, a better way to see what files are being transferred over, and other small little fixes that add up to a nice under-the-hood improvement. They just broke anything practical for gaming.

Thief is possibly one of the hardest games to install on any Windows version past ME. Jedi Knight actually was really easy, I don't think I had many problems setting it up, but Thief can require a lot of headaches. Today I decided to start working on getting Thief working right. I did a reinstall, that resulted in Thief's menus working again, but I found I couldn't actually play the game. I have spent all morning debugging where it came from, blaming my wrappers and whatnot, until I realized software mode worked perfectly fine. It turns out my Nvidia drivers got corrupted by my install on Windows 8, so reinstalling the latest Nvidia drivers has resulted in my game functioning again. But the problem now is that my DirectDraw wrapper is not recognizing Thief Gold but recognizes Thief 1.14, the nice thing about the wrapper is that it allows me to record the game as well as stretch the image to fit my 1440p monitor. Now... why would a DirectDraw wrapper not be able to see a Direct3d game. Maybe it is connected to the issue with my TV, it is currently messed up on almost all 900 channels except for Futurama. I don't even like Futurama! Through a lot of button presses in odd combinations I managed to get my way to the Oprah Winfrey Network. Oprah is talking about God and her family. I find myself trapped with no way to get back to Futurama. I did what any rational human would do and mashed as many buttons as I could, now I am stuck in a land of radio static. But I am happy, because the alternative is watching Oprah.

Heh, already done. It isn't my fault I actually like to play Quake :P

Um... is Wikia saying everything was done in the future? Currently all my posts were made at some time "from now". You made a post 11 hours in the future, just after I did. Note this is not the past, that is ago, but at some point we crossed the barrier into the future. Welcome to the future Vorknkx, we are finally here according to Wikia!
