Day 10 – Second Life?

Ok so we last left off with Regnum Online giving me issues. I compiled new drivers for the ATI 7500 and rebooted. Then I tried running Regnum Online again. Same stupid Error Message cam up. Frustrated I sent a help request for their tech support folks. Not holding my breath.

Feeling a need to play a MMO type game I gave in and installed Second Life. Call me a loser now, LOL. If you are on Second Life, add me as a friend VooDooStevie Mixmaster is the name of my character on there.

Day 9 – GAH! I just wanna play the game! Why won't you let me?!

Not much done today because I had a family reunion to attend.

Well today I had installed cheese (play with webcam). I also installed kq, Bub’s Bros. Fontmatrix, Flickr uploader, and then Tried Planeshift. It locked up horribly so forget that.

After that I installed Rengum Online which was toted as another MMORPG that was available for Linux. It didn’t start up and gave errors about drivers and DirectX. I will try updating the drivers later.

I don’t understand how a game that is made for Linux that uses OpenGL as it’s primary graphics can use DirectX which is a Microsot related graphics thing. *sigh*

I took a dive and seeing I didn’t really want to do it, I thought I’d give it another chance. I downloaded Second Life from GetDeb. I will install it tomorrow.
