Downloadable Free Full RPG Game: Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall (Oblivion Prequel)

I learned from Level50Gamer.com that Bethseda has released Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall as downloadable freeware. The 1996 DOS game is the (then) cutting edge prequel to Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion.

Given how much acclaim the Elder Scrolls series has garnered, I couldn't believe what I was reading at first so I checked Bethseda's official site and went to their downloads section. Well pots of mana, it IS free! The full RPG game Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall is free.

Free K-Lite Codec Pack Full Download Update Version 4.9.5

Compared to the awesome v4.8.5, this K-lite Codec Pack Full version doesn't bring a lot to the table. However, if you haven't updated in quite a long while, I suggest you go to the free K-Lite Codec Pack Full download page and get this update. Version 4.8.5 was a must-download and this one still has the same superior bass and treble separation that the former had.

And yep, as I've mentioned countless times before, K-Lite Codec Packs are free and downloadable.

"Tugsh Tugsh" just keeps getting better. And yes, that's indeed me and my PC setup. :D

This version's rating: 2 (rating system: 1 - no discernible changes; 2 - changes in audio but it could be just my imagination lol; 3 - distinctive changes; 4 - a must-download)

@#$%@^ Insomnia

I can't sleep. I mean I can, but that happens only when the sun is peeking through the rooftops of my sleepy neighborhood. My wife wakes up and I sleep. Come nightfall, it's her turn to sleep and I wake up.

It has taken a toll on my health and it's starting to show. I made a collage of me and my wife just to show my folks how well I'm doing financially but how serious my condition is. Here it is:

Horse bling-bling and eye bags galore. (The collage isn't mine. I got it from this site.)

Download Free Full Shooter Sim Game: Star Wraith: Shadows of Orion

So with a whole sack of salt I downloaded this 9Mb freeware shooter game called Star Wraith: Shadow of Orion...




...and had my skepticism blown to smithereens by pulse lasers.

At 9Mb, I didn't expect much from this freeware full shooter sim game. When I installed it and listened to the minutes-long tutorial though, I realized there and then that this little baby has more than just flash from starship drives and space pewpew prevalent in wannabe games that just coat themselves with eye candy and throw everything else outside the nearest warpgate. Free full shooter sim game Star Wraith: Shadows of Orion has (nearly?) all the complexity that serious space sim fans crave for.

This game has controls for making your space fighter strafe, spin left and right, give orders to squadmates, allocate power to your shields and weapon systems, activate jumpjets, and drop electronic countermeasures at incoming missiles. Panels also let you see your current target and your squadmates' shields. You can also cycle through targets, making your missiles track targets of opportunity.



What with the dearth of space sim game nowadays, this free full shooter sim game should more than satisfy Wing Commander and Freelancer fans out there.

Spricket24, a YouTube Celeb, Replied to my Comment! :D

Not meaning to sound like a star-touched fanboy but hey, considering that our place nearly went up in flames when the line outside our digs started sputtering invectives whenever we drew power from it a few nights back, this came as a pleasant surprise the morning after:

Gorgeous. Sexah. Witty. She's the YouTube bomb. Thanks Karen!

How to Resolve GameCam Audio Record Problems

(Apologies for the title above.)

I got so annoyed at having to go to the GameCam forums to read again on how to record audio using the software everytime I install a new version that I decided to make this. This post serves as a handy guide for senile ol' me.

Can't record video game audio with GameCam? The solution is simple:

1. Make sure you have a registered version. The free GameCam version can't record audio.

2. Make sure you have selected the correct recording device in the Windows Recording Control interface.

To do this:

1. Press Windows + R. (Or got to Start > Run.)

2. Type "sndvol32.exe /record" without the quotes.


3. On the screen that pops up, make sure "Stereo Mix" is selected. Leave the volume slider alone.


4. Run GameCam. Run your favorite game. When both are running, press F1 and under the "Audio" tab (in GameCam, not the game), check to see if the "Default Recording Device" is selected.

5. Record. (Default GameCam hotkey: HOME)

6. See if it works. If the video produces scratchy/distorted sound, go back to Step 2 and see if the volume slider is too high.

I hope this works for you. Kudos goes out to TommyBoy, Site Admistrator of the GameCam forums, for posting a similar guide (albeit without the pictures).

Here's a video I've made using the software (Area 51 freeware single- and multiplayer shooter game on Hard mode):

Download Dox Optimised 185.68 Video Card Graphic Driver

It's been a long time since I did a video card benchmark test and I must admit I'm several drivers behind. Although at the time of this writing Nvidia has released their GeForce 168.18, I've decided to benchmark the Dox Optimised 185.68 driver. It might be old, but for some reason a lot of people are searching for Dox's 3rd-party tweaked drivers.

These are also the last Dox Optimised drivers to support Windows XP, according to Dox.

Dox Optimised drivers are known for their streamlined package; they don't have the PhysX drivers Nvidia bundles with their releases. Its creator has also removed several registry entries and the Nvidia tray icon, making these the lightest Nvidia video card drivers. They often don't weigh more than 25Mb (in contrast, official Nvidia drivers exceed the 70-megabyte mark).

Dox Optimised 185.68 is no exception --- the download weighs in at only 20.9Mb.

This one has "Desktop Geforce gpu support from 6-GT200 series."
