Path to War PC Review

Path to War is a DLC add-on for Red Faction: Armageddon . It takes place just before the start of the game.

Path to War consists of 4 new levels.

In the first you use a flyer - as one of the cultists - to destroy the Red Faction base in preparation to the attack on the terraformer. Mostly boring and annoying.

The second mission takes place entirely on a tank, and is pretty much as bad as the first.

The third mission is, thankfully, on foot as Darius Mason again. It introduces the shard gun, which grabs pieces of stuff around you and throws them at your enemies. Trust me, that sounds much better than it actually is.

On the fourth mission you hunt down and kill the cultist you played as on the first mission. It is by far the best, and very near the regular game. You also get a new weapon, the sharpshooter, which shoots metal spikes that can impale your enemies.

Overall, I couldn't possibly recommend this. It is very very weak and also very short - which I'm not sure if that is a pro or a con.

2/5 Stars.

Solved - You have an incorrect version of driver "vmx86.sys" - VMWare Workstation 8

I have just installed VMWare Workstation 8 over my old VMWare Workstation 6.5 on Windows 7. On my first run I already got the error message: Could not get vmx86 driver version: The handle is invalid. You have an incorrect version of driver "vmx86.sys". Try reinstalling VMware Workstation. Failed to initialize monitor device. Obviously, I was concerned, but there is a simple way to solve it - just right-click the VMWare Workstation icon and use Run as Administrator. This is a bit annoying, but at least it is easy to solve. Update: I forgot to mention it, but as Dave said on the comments, you can right-click on the program shortcut, choose Properties, Compatibility tab and check Run as Administrator so that it will always run properly. Thanks, Dave!

[Fixed] Just Cause 3 Mouse offset

I've sort of "fixed" my mouse offset problems and cursor exits from Just Cause 3. For whatever reason, both seem to happen sometime, specially if I need to change focus from the game. Sometimes just going to another app and returning solves it, otherwise if I go to Options, Graphics, and turn full screen back on (or turn it off and on again), it seems to get fixed. However, still annoying.

Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master

I've read Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master last week. It was pretty good, although if you have a few years of experience and good practices, you should be familiar with most of what it says, even if you don't follow it in practice :-) . Some of their bullet points are: - Don't duplicate - Write flexible code - Use Contracts, assertions and exceptions - Test - Automate where possible - Use a version control system. Obviously, many of these points have a lot to do with refactoring and XP. They also have another neat book on Automation, Pragmatic Project Automation: How to Build, Deploy, and Monitor Java Apps . Obviously that is much less relevant to a Delphi programmer, but you can still learn quite a bit from it. After I started reading it, I automated large sections of my build and release process (in PHP - it's easy to use in the command-line, too, and some parts are re-usable on the site). It saves a lot of time and enables you to stop worrying if you ...
