#2 is unbelievably true. I loved Tribes, and my overwhelming anticipation of Tribes 2 was met with much disappointment.

I actually enjoyed it, and experienced it bug-free until the damned bugfixes started.

So did 2 or 3 other people I know. 99% of the "bugs" that I saw back when I still bothered were related to
1) Prebuilt computers
2) Computers that had NO BUSINESS playing 3d games of any sort
3) PPL THT TLK LYKE DIZ (thereby preventing you from getting an accurate read on exactly what the damned problem is)

My boxen didn't fall into any of the categories, but I bought it the day it came out, and the constant updates and problems from those updates were too much. I didn't keep playing after a few weeks of this torture, so it may have improved.

I still think Tribes is one of the better games of all time. I loved that game.

looks like yuo stole some Microsoft code :D

all their software seems to have buffer underrun

That's buffer overflow. Buffer underrun...I'm not even sure what that is. Seems like I've heard the term in connection with CDRW's making coasters because the hard drive can't supply them with data fast enough.

Edit: Additionally, the link uses the term "buffer overrun". Don't know where y'all pulled "buffer underrun" out of.

Love this one

11. You look at the sunset and think "I wonder if I can get this in 1024x768."
10. You blink and think "crap, more frame loss."
9. You stare at a leaf for hours and hours trying to discern the pixels.
8. You refer to people who use artificial things like Glasses and Contacts as "lousy VooDoo folk."
7. You avoid large groups for fear of overloading your polygon renderer.
6. Looking toward the horizon, you proudly announce "I found the clipping plane."
5. Your vision gets blurry and immediately you think "crap, need new drivers."
4. When you drive and the other guy has his brights on, you curse the gamma levels.
3. You seriously believe one eye has better OpenGL support than the other.
2. You complain to your doctor about biased benchmarks after failing your eye exam.
1. You sing the praises of nVidia engineers each time you see your reflection in a car bumper.
