I love it. Those guys at DAC are wicked. :lol:

I think an Israeli surgical strike against Iran's nuclear facilities is more likely. They’ve done it before and I think they'd have the most to lose if Iran developed a nuclear weapon.

I'll put in a vote in for reviews of other forms of media new and old. I think comic books are a great area to look at. If it wasn't for Rosh's mentions of EC Comics, I would not have found out about them.

If you've grown out of modern music, just hit the way back button and you'll find some great stuff. Case in point I saw a movie recently called O Brother, Where Art Thou? and loved the music in it. http://main.losthighwayrecords.com/artist.aspx?src=obrothersoundtrack.com&aid=193

Like all kids I experimented with mj once or twice out of curiosity, but I never got into the scene, as I've never understood what is so fascinating about blowing your mind on a regular basis. I do have a few stories you might be interested in though. The friend who intorduced me to the mj...

I noticed the similarity between the Vault Boy and the Monopoly guy earlier this year and thought I had found something new. Then I did a search for Monopoly here and found a Boyarski quote where he freely admits to ripping the Monopoly cards and character idea. I also saw something similar...

Just a minor announcement: If you download the latest version and you have a prevoius version installed. Install the new version to another directory. One of my players alerted me to a bug yesterday that is caused by an old file not being overwritten by the latest installer. This will be fixed...

Why didn't they just install a security camera?

I think that like guns, gods and religion are harmless on their own. Things only get out of hand when people with mental disorders get a hold of them. alec: In this matter your fanaticism is identical to that of a religious fanatic. Its obvious from your posts, that you've had a very bad...

It depends on the context. If it was a friend of mine I'd think it was funny. But if it was a stranger I'd feel like I was being threatened. Anyway I still think this was a publicity stunt just, like the Russell Crowe phone throwing incident. Richards hasn't had this kind of attention in years.

I also hate the fact that you need to spend $500-$1000 on a computer just to play the latest $50 game (or you have to buy a console which I will never do because I hate console games). Yes first person view is what I have difficulties with. I think the problem is the field of view is way too...

Yes he does nice work. I hope they are making an english version., because that game looks like its going to be good.

I don't like real time 3D because I can see the polygons and the stretched textures and the first person view gives me a splitting headache. The other thing I like about iso 2D is it reminds me of the metal figures I used to buy for D&D when I was a kid. :)

Great work! There's nothing like good old fashioned pre-rendered iso critters. :)

I've seen people throw chairs at the office, road rage incidents and punch ups in night clubs. Perhaps Richards lost his temper and said a lot of things he wouldn't say or think when his head is clear. I also know that men and women start to get extremely grumpy when they pass middle age and...

I always tell people that RPGs are a lot harder to make than *any* other type of game. But do they listen? No! I guess the STALKER people learned it the hard way.

Yes I heard about that. Its one thing to work on something that is not your IP, but its another thing entirely to work on something that made your reputation while taking orders from people that don't understand it or care about it. That would be a difficult thing for anyone. I've heard...

I doubt the modders would have anything to do with the level design. Most likely they'd be given design docs and told to do the script programming. What fun! :D You'd need more than a million. :)

It could be the Troika people were approached, but didn't want to work under another company's terms. One of the reasons they left Interplay was because the corporate heavies refused to give them artistic freedom. I can imagine after doing things your own way for 8 years, it would be very...

I'm not surprised. I had a look at the scripting system a while back and it looked like it would be very hard for anyone but an experienced programmer to learn and use.
