According to Kolby you can get AA in UT3 games by running the config program, the actual game lacks the option but the config doesn't. I wouldn't know myself, but it's worth a try I guess?
Cherenkov radiation is fucking sick:

it looks so sci-fi
That's probably where sci-fi got the inspiration from. Also, I find it funny when people think radioactive shit glows green. BLUE, YOU RETARDS. BLUE.
Radium glows green. :eng101:
pretty sure it's not sorry thanks for playing
it emits cherenkov radiation, which is blue. cherenkov radiation is what gives radioactive materials their characteristic glowing property. it happens when electrons are accelerated beyond the speed of light in a certain medium, if my memory is working properly tonight.
Use :google:. It shows green glowing radium. Plus, I have a watch with radium in the dials. It's green.
That really emits a beautiful shade of blue. I wish I understood this kind of stuff more, wonder if it's possible to do this without creating harmful radiation, as electromagnetic radiation doesn't seem to be that harmful. Yet again I have no idea about any sort of radiation as I haven't learned about it.
I've also read that radium is known to emit a faint blue glow.Quote:

e/ I hope you're joking about the radium watch. That shit got phased out early last century because it was a health risk, even in those small amounts. Modern watchfaces use tritium.
The reason for green glow radioactivity is, prob., because depleted uranium have a greenish-yellow or lime green glow to it, but most if not all modern nuclear reactor glow blue. Also the glow depends on mixture of elements. pure radioactive glow is MOST likely blue. For example, uranium with gold tend to have a redish glow.
The reason it's blue is the amount of energy being radiated from the substance, so obviously when mixed with certain other elements and when it is in altered states it does change colour. I think.
I fucking hate not having physics classes anymore, because all this shit gets really hazy :smith:
