:O:

That's never stopped me from watching them again. :D

Unfortunately I only got the CSI bug after it went into syndication and SpikeTV started showing it all the time, so I have no idea how many episodes I've seen vs. how many I've missed, and have never seen them all in order. So I always wonder if I've missed some crucial bit of a long story arc.

I really need to start getting the DVDs and go all the way back to season 1 and do it properly.

Yeah, I'm seriously considering doing that too.

Like yourself, I missed out on it when it was first on.
I assumed it was probably over-rated and I wouldn't be interested in it.
Wrong. So very wrong.

They show it over here on a few different channels, but when they finish a season, they then seem to pick another season at random to broadcast, rather then just showing the next one.
Why the hell do they do that?
Plus I'm watching shows from different seasons on different channels.
All very annoying.

So I've seem most of 'em, but not in any sort of proper order.

Damn good stuff though, eh? :DL

We're talking about the original show, Vegas, right? Cuz I tried to watch the others after I got hooked on the original, and they just didn't do it for me.

But, yeah, the original rocks. When it first showed up in reruns on cable here, they were running marathon blocks of back to back episodes and that's how I got hooked. I'd be doing stuff around the place and turn the TV on, not really to sit down and watch, but just to find something not totally crappy that would be on for a while so I could peep at it off and on and wouldn't have to start channel surfing again in half an hour. So I tune in this CSI marathon thinking, well, there's something I can probably just leave on for a couple hours while I work without feeling compelled to run for the remote because of how apallingly awful it is.

After about 20 minutes I wasn't doing any "work" any more, lol.

I could still do without the "oh hai here's what it looked like on the inside when this bullet ripped thru the dead guy's head" segments, particularly when I've just sat down to dinner, but that's my own fault for turning it on then.

Oh hell yeah :yep:

I don't mind the NY one, I can get into that if I put my mind to it.
But with the Vegas one I don't have to try.
And don't even get me started on the Miami incarnation. :nope:

Yep, that's how it got me too. :DL
Tuned into it intending for it to be just background noise.
Ended up sitting down and watching 3 episodes in a row.

Welcome back K-61! :salute:

I hope you don't mind me asking a question about a mod in your thread. Have no intention of hijacking! :88)

Ok so, I was thinking of installing the SH 5 water for SH 3 mod. However, I think I saw in some thread in the mods section that SH 5 water mod does some stuff with the range at which ships are sighted. I don't exactly remember what the issue was but someone mentioned combining a MVP mod or something with the water mod and finding a fix for whatever problems existed. I wish to install sh 5 water mod but could someone point me to the file that was successfully combined or the latest version that has no known bugs?
Thanks in advance! :DL

Then I really hope K-61 doesn't mind the fact that I've been going on about CSI for half a page. :oops:

I can tell you I have been running this excellent mod for about 6 months now, and haven't noticed any problems with regard to spotting ranges.

Arctic wolf 08-08-10 05:25 AM

That's great sergei. Could you point me to the link you downloaded the mod from?

Enjoy :DL

Arctic wolf 08-08-10 06:31 AM

Thanks so much sergei! :D But I'm not using the 16km distance mod so could you give me the 8km version of this great piece of art? It's not there in his thread.

Ok I think I just found the 8km version in maikhaas' ftp server. Does version 9 have compatibility issues with NVIDIA cards?

sergei 08-08-10 07:02 AM

Don't know Arctic wolf, I have an ATI card, sorry.

You're probably better off posting your question to Rik007 in the release thread.

Arctic wolf 08-08-10 07:32 AM

Will do mate. Thanks! :DL
