First things first, I like NFS3 bet­ter than NFS4. The on­ly rea­son I start­ed to play with NFS4 re­cent­ly (and I'm just go­ing to re­fer to this game as NFS4, of­fi­cial­ly called Need for Speed: High Stakes in the Amer­i­c­as, Need for Speed: Road Chal­lenge in Eu­rope, Need for Speed : Con­duite en état de lib­erté in France, Need for Speed: Bren­nen­der As­phalt in Ger­many, オーバードライビンIV in Japan, and maybe un­der dif­fer­ent alias­es), be­cause I was a bit bored with NFS3's (of­fi­cial­ly Need for Speed III: Hot Pur­suit, ニード・フォー・スピードIII ホット・パースート or オーバードライビンIII in Japan, and what­ev­er else. Even the VN...

Oh, boy. The very first NFS game I've played and still one of my fa­vorite. (Well, not com­plete­ly true, the first NFS I played was the de­mo ver­sion of NFS4, with its on­ly "Route Adonf" track, but the first full ver­sion NFS I played was NFS3.) Need for Speed III: Hot Pur­suit (still オーバードライビンⅢ：ホットパーシュート in Japan, and Need for Speed III: Pour­suite In­fer­nale in France as a new con­tender) from 1998, here I come! Al­so, the last NFS to have a prop­er num­ber and the first where the mar­ket­ing de­part­ment start­ed to at­tach stu­pid names to the ti­tle of the game.

As usu­al, start with the in­tro video, which is back at 320x240 res­o­lu­tion this time, for the whole du­ra­tion (but the sec­ond part of the in­tro is let­ter­boxed from var­i­ous ran­dom as­pect ra­tios, ex­cept when it looks like an orig­i­nal­ly 4:3 video was made wide screen by adding black bars, but fuck­ing it up so the so one row or col­umn of pix­els at the side of the video still there, vis­i­ble around 01:14-01:20 or af­ter 1:30):

AKA 2024 up­dates

I was writ­ing a blog­post on NFS2 (to be pub­lished soon™), when I made the mis­take of open­ing one of the video files in Au­dac­i­ty with show clip­ping on—and oh my gosh, it was all red. Even the orig­i­nal record­ing was heav­i­ly clipped, and this prompt­ed me dig around—and so a mul­ti-day jour­ney be­gan.

First thing I did was switch obs-stu­dio to record float sam­ples in­stead if S16, so at least in my in­put videos sam­ples won't be clipped. I didn't re­do the old record­ings, they're still bro­ken and there's no fix­ing them, but at...

I'm try­ing a new cat­e­go­ry, "mi­ni re­view", when I just want to say a few words about a game, with­out spend­ing months writ­ing a prop­er, full re­view. Don't ex­pect me to fit with­in VNDB's 200 char­ac­ter lim­it for mi­ni re­views, though.

To­day's game is "Love Room 301", made by the world-fa­mous (not) cir­cle called "Bronze 5 Box". The sto­ry goes some­what like this: you and your girl­friend sexfriend goes to a love ho­tel that was mak­ing news late­ly, you some­how man­age to lock your­self in­to the room (not out), and you have to get out. Ba­si­cal­ly a room...

I've made some changes to the blog, I'll try to sum­ma­rize it here for the grand to­tal ze­ro num­ber read­ers this blog has. This is go­ing to be tech­ni­cal, and most­ly a rant, so feel free to ig­nore this.

It all start­ed with me try­ing to write a new ar­ti­cle, when I want­ed to put time­codes in­to the text. For op­ti­mal us­age, it should be click­able, and the video should just jump to it, right? Un­for­tu­nate­ly I don't think that can be done with­out javascript (es­pe­cial­ly if you have two video, and you want to jump to the video that...
