    I like AssaultCube, it's pretty fun to play once in a while. I just wish they would add building features into it. One of my favorite FPS is the game called Tremulous. It's free and very fun. http://tremulous.net/ Here's some info about it:

     

    Summary

     

    Tremulous is a free, open source game that blends a team based FPS with elements of an RTS. Players can choose from 2 unique races, aliens and humans. Players on both teams are able to build working structures in-game like an RTS. These structures provide many functions, the most important being spawning. The designated builders must ensure there are spawn structures or other players will not be able to rejoin the game after death. Other structures provide automated base defense (to some degree), healing functions and much more...

     

    Player advancement is different depending on which team you are on. As a human, players are rewarded with credits for each alien kill. These credits may be used to purchase new weapons and upgrades from the "Armoury". The alien team advances quite differently. Upon killing a human foe, the alien is able to evolve into a new class. The more kills gained the more powerful the classes available.

     

    The overall objective behind Tremulous is to eliminate the opposing team. This is achieved by not only killing the opposing players but also removing their ability to respawn by destroying their spawn structures.

     

    Feature List

     

    Flexible particle system - 99% of the in-game visual effects are configured using particle scripts.

    16 buildable structures with in-game functions.

    Play as several alien classes with unique abilities.

    Customize your setup as a human and buy new weapons, armour and items.

    Scale the walls and ceilings as an alien waiting for an unsuspecting human.

    Realistic physics and motion - no bunny hopping or quick back peddling.

    Flexible map system - animated mapobjects, triggering, light flares, etc.

    Large weapons system - don't like the weapon you have? Sell it and buy a different one, dozens of options.

     

    I personally like the aliens the best. I like being able to evolve into new classes, rather than having to buy my way to good items. :D

    Microsoft Antimalware?

    I was uninstalling a game from my PC the other day with Revo Uninstaller, when I noticed a program called Microsoft Antimalware on Revo's uninstall list. I use MSE as my current AV program, so I don't know if that is related to MSE or not. Anyone have any ideas?

    False Positive. I didn't get infected with anything when I visited the giveaway link, and I also check all the links that I post to see if they are bad ones. Turns out other sites have posted about this offer as well, so it must be safe.

    Hey, I just got an idea for a solution to the spam signature problem. Maybe if the admins or mods set a specific number of posts a user has to reach to before they can have a signature, it solve the sig spam problem, because usually, the spammers just make a post or two with the spam link, and then leave or get banned. :D

    What Anti-Virus do you use

    in Windows Security

    Posted

    Icedrake, this sounds interesting... care to explain a bit about this? I mean Im not familiar with any antivirus prog that doesnt require updating <_<

     

    Sure! Here's what Panda Cloud Antivirus is all about:

     

    The first free cloud antivirus to protect your PC against virus,spyware, rootkits, trojans

     

    Download Panda Cloud Antivirus, the first free cloud-based antivirus thin-client. It consists of a lightweight antivirus agent that is connected in real-time to PandaLabs' online Collective Intelligence servers to protect faster against the newest malware variants while barely impacting PC performance.

     

    Thanks to Panda Security's Collective Intelligence malware and goodware online database, Panda Cloud Antivirus detects more malware than traditional signature-based solutions which take longer to detect the most recent, and therefore most dangerous, variants. Panda Cloud Antivirus protects you while you browse, play or work and you won't even notice it.

     

    It is extremely light as all the work is done online in the cloud. Panda Cloud Antivirus provides you with the fastest protection against the newest viruses thanks to its cloud-scanning from PandaLabs' servers. Panda Cloud Antivirus is truly install and forget. Don't worry about updates, configuration or complicated decisions ever again.

     

    Panda Cloud Antivirus will protect you while you browse, play or even work and you won?t even notice it running on your computer.

    Here are some key features of "Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Edition":

     

    The fastest in detecting new viruses:

    ? Our network of Collective Intelligence servers identifies and processes viruses automatically in a fraction of the time required by laboratory technicians.

     

    Designed with you in mind:

    ? Now you can forget about tiresome antivirus products with incessant notifications and difficult questions. Panda Cloud Antivirus works for you without annoying you.

     

    Updates are history:

    ? The real key to Panda Cloud Antivirus is in the Collective Intelligence servers. That's why you'll always have maximum detection capacity without relying on traditional updates.

     

    Detects more than anyone else:

    ? The Panda servers have a database of millions of viruses allowing Panda Cloud Antivirus to detect the multitude of threats that appear every day.

     

    It's a great antivirus from my personal experience. I even like it better than most of the other free av's like Avast and AntiVir. The only reason I switched to MSE after using Panda Cloud AV, was because I liked MSE's appearance better. And they are both excellent AV's so in protection terms, it wasn't really a big deal. ;)
