Recently got Mad Max from GOG. It's pretty great for Open World car combat and Arkham style brawling. It also runs great. Too bad it didn't get more attention.

Mirrors melt and break when hit with a laser of more than "pretty lights power".

EDIT: I know where I am, that video is too good not to share though. Vote away.

Yup. Hope he still sees it. Mine is more a bonus to what you wrote. Should've been next to yours tho.

Steam version was inferior to GOG. It was definitely missing the multi core CPU fix and maybe even still had TAGES protection (not sure about that one).

Genre mix of 3rd person brawling and some stealth sections. Hovercrafting including some races (many optional). Some adventure style puzzles. Awesome soundtrack. French style and subtle + not so subtle and satirical storytelling that doesn't assume you're a doofus. It actually made me a little sad at one point.

Technical: GOG version supports multiple threads/cores. Widescreen fix available. Check here: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Beyond_Good_%26_Evil

Best thing is: I heard they see the number on their publisher dashboard next to the followers. Don't know if it's true, but I like the idea.

Fuck Ubisoft.

That's pretty horrifying. The perfect dystopia waiting for collapse when a server fails or a there is a network outage or infection.

ebay? If you can get an IBM P77 or Sony G220 (they are the same) in good working condition you should be golden. Those are awesome. They go up 170Hz, 75Hz at 1600x1200. And can even do 2048x1536 although that would be out of specs and only 60Hz (barely usable but fucking impressive).

They do hum and buzz.

Those are on the graphics adapter. Not in the CRT.
You can update the framebuffer faster than the CRT can draw. That's when you get tearing. Same VSync then as now.
