  1. Whoops, just realized I made a change to the server yesterday that has made it sluggish today. Just fixed that--should be better now!

      It doesn't matter. A new change to the software that most companies use has blocked AtariAge, so hardly anyone will be visiting AtariAge anymore except on the weekends. :D

      Man, I'm glad I've never worked at a company that used internet filtering software!!

      So Atari is the zombie of video game companies. It just refuses to stay dead. I wonder of Bushnell realized he created a monster company.

  6. I just had to use a hex editor to patch Ultima III as it was crashing when I tried to resurrect a dead player.

      Rare for a old game like that to have a bug. Games made before BBS's and the net were 99 percent solid.

      It's a bug in the Ultima III patch. So the patch has been patched!

  15. Played Torchlight 2 until exactly 3:00am, when Windows Update shutdown my computer WITHOUT WARNING to install updates. Microsoft, you suck.

      Why were you gaming for so long? 3 AM?

    2. Albert

      Albert

      @RT: Unfortunately, it seems the default is to automatically update the machine at 3am. I'm still amazed that it simply shut everything down without even prompting me.

    3. Albert

      Albert

      @segagamer99: Torchlight 2 is a damn fun game! :D I was planning on stopping after I finished the current quest I was on. Now i have to pretty much start that quest from scratch!
