I also enabled bloom by opening the file cam_ext.cfg in the main game folder. Find these lines and remove the semicolon (;) in front of each line: ;postprocess 1 ;bloomscale 5 ;bloom_threshold 0.7 I also changed the bloomscale value to 4 and bloom_threshold to 0.85. You can turn on triple buffering in that file as well to reduce mouse lag.

The [lol] tag is 10 years old today!

On Jan 26, 2007 I was sitting at my desk during my last week working for the industrial automation company that I spent the last 15 years at, and had given notice to a week earlier. I was doing documentation and running out the clock when boring gegtik posted an idea (that he had apparently stolen from voodooraze ... lol).

I had created a Greasemonkey script called Shacknews Soul Sucker Filter which did the same thing as the [ugh] tag did -- let people downvote posts and automatically collapse them if a set number of people agreed that the story was soul-sucking -- and realized I could take that script and whip up what boring gegtik voodooraze suggested in an hour or so, so between other things and lunch, I threw together the first working version of the script.

Since then, we've apparently smashed that button over 2.4 million times.

My 93 year old grandpa entered a story telling contest in February. The theme was "Love hurts" and I think he did pretty well for somebody who's never done much public speaking before. He's always been the smartest and funniest person I've ever known and I thought some of you would enjoy his story, so here it is:
