<div class="IPBDescription">Fluke..?  luck.. ?</div>Okay, this is a bit off-topic, but one day, many moons ago, I was playing Counter-Strike (one of the earlier versions, beta 5 or 6 maybe?) and I started playing and I noticed that everything was motion blurred, depth-of-field blurred.  When I moved the mouse and turned the camera, everything blurred... it was awesome!  I was using a Voodoo5 with 4 sample antialiasing and just about every option possible turned on.  I don't think I ever got it to do that again, or got the right options on the Voodoo5 again.  What caused this?  Was it really the Voodoo5?  If it was, is there anything.. ANYTHING.. that I could do to bring this back, besides getting a Voodoo5 again and trying it over?  (I have a Geforce3 now, btw)

Has this ever happened to anyone else?  Just kinda curious...

    You don't do drugs, do you?

    Okay, actually, I think it is all how you percieve things on this end. Unsure.

    Hmm, i'm told either LSD or Marijuana will re-create these effects.

    the voodoo5's had a built in motino blur to their drivers. it was somethign they hoped people would want more than 32bit color i guess. :P I hated that crap since the moment I saw em. in fact, when they announced that the voodoo5 would have motion blur that was kinda the final snap that made me lose all faith in 3Dfx.. heh

    [edit]
    so answer your question: no

    I assume you're not talking about the HoM effect, right?
