Re:In other words

There are others. -
John Carmack rocks !All games released by ID have been great. Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Medal of Honor:Allied Assault are also superb games based on the Quake 3 engine.
ID Software is as strong as ever, and so is John Carmack. Thank you for everything, John!
For the ones that want to know more about John, here are some links:

Big Whoop
I could critise Microsoft over this (but this is probably just a few odd employees who did this), but then I'd be a hypocrite because I have participated in ballot stuffing before.
About two months ago, Entertainment Weekly did a poll on Entertainer of the year. It was soon posted on Fark and then slowly migrated itself to the Something Awful forums. Now, we decided to ballot stuff it with "Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka" due to the fact that they didn't have any sort of security method to stop people from doing multiple votes.
It soon became a battle when the Shack News forums and some other forum started a battle with us. So we then got cocky and wrote various scripts in langauges varying from Perl to JavaScript (I wrote a script in mIRC considering I wanted to write it in a small bit of time). From all of our efforts, Lowtax got over 500,000 votes.
Yes, Lowtax was on top, but then they took the site down and then reopened it with a security measure and a little comment in the webpage taunting us. A few weeks later the results came out and I am not sure who got into the Top 10, but Lowtax and Something Awful DID get a mention in an article they wrote later.
If I hadn't done that, I'd be saying things differently here. -

Re:Broadband not profitable
Steve Gibson(along with EasyspeakDSL) over at shacknews is starting to offer shackdsl, which is geared totally towards gamers. Static IP, SDSL connection (758k I think), direct access to dedicated game servers. However, it doesnt come cheap, i think it is around $90 per month.

misc numbers
Now mind you every store in town seems to have plenty of Gamecubes in stock, but if you want an X-Box, you have to kill for it.
Goldman Sachs did a survey among U.S. retailers in big cities, and so far 73% had sold out of the Xbox and 47% out of the Gamecube. Microsoft shipped an estimated 300,000 Xbox consoles around the nation, while Nintendo delivered some 700,000.
[from Shacknews]
Granted, this was a bit farther back in November, but the numbers seem plausible.
And as always: "There are lies, damn lies, and marketing!" (or somethin like that) -
Re:Linux version?The linux version of the multi-player test 1 (there is no "demo" yet. When people say "demo" they mean the mp-test) came out a week after the windows version.
The linux version of the mp-test 2 came out the day after the windows version.
Here is a section of Todd Hollenshead's .plan file that refers to the linux version of the final game:
No date yet on the Mac version, but it's coming soon (not gold yet,
though). We don't have plans to sell Linux in retail, but Timothee
has done great work on the downloadable binaries so far, and I expect
that to continue.
So there ya go.
I have been looking, but I see no final linux version yet. But it's been just 1 day. I just hope that Timothee isn't on vacation or something, because the tin box is sitting right here just waiting to get installed... (Timo: hint hint) :-)

Re:This is not a community
In case you haven't been there in awhile, sCary's Shugashack no longer exists under that name. Steve wanted a more "presentable" name. It's now known as Shacknews. And he hasn't used the name sCary in like 2 years. -

A little bit more of the story...As far as what happened to the rest of Ion Storm Dallas, check out what's left of Stormtroopers. This was a complete surprise to absolutely no-one, of course. Eidos just wanted to ship Anachronox and get things over with.
So what's next? Dunno, but there is the matter of those domain name registrations. I'm just guessing here, but I'm thinking Monkey Stone would be Tom's choice. I hear primates are the in thing for developer names these days anyhow...
Good luck, guys.

Distributing demos, trailers, etcI (and other Slashdotters, I'm sure) am in the middle of the netstorm of trying to download demos and promo movies released at E3. They are mirrored on many of the big game sites, but the traffic jam is pretty severe.
P2P would be perfect for this.

Well first was the poll to add it..

Oh of course they'll be public
Just like in HHGTTG, if you were able to get there (or in this case pay) you'd have known about it right?
Of course, how else are they going to stop the little guys like us from catching big business with their pants around their ankles for putting patents out on things like multiplayer games. Fuckers. I mean, when society is heading toward freedom of information, what more do we need than a ministry of information. I know this isn't quite to that degree yet, but it's a start. Make it less accessable to the common man, and then they start making it harder and harder to get access, until finally, this "public" office has nothing for the public to worry about..... move along, nothing to see here.

Sorry about that :) -
Re:Mozilla?
I disagree. I also run Windows as my primary OS; IE is by far the slowest browser I've used. For raw speed, nothing right now beats Opera. Although supposedly it sticks to the standards to most, a lot of pages dont look perfect in it. Mozilla is definitely getting MUCH better. I'm actually using it right now: much faster than IE6.0 in just about everything. These are my experiences; your mileage may vary. As an aside, does Slashdot use http/1.1 compression? One of my favorite game news sites now uses it, and everything loads perceptibly faster...

Shugashack
sCary's renamed Shugashack (now ShackNews) is still around.
As is Blue's News -
Watch out for those lazy ad networks!Shacknews (formerly Shugashack) had a big scare in the beginning of March: UGO, the provider of their banner ads, hadn't paid what was due for December 2000, as well as the months after. It was so bad that a "Save the Shack" campaign was started.
Now, UGO has paid half (repeat: HALF) of what was due for December, and the fundraiser helped as well.

Can NO ONE check their facts first?Ok, the REAL FACTS are that this was a mistranslation. In the bad translation, he was to have said this:
"If we are unable to see a positive response at E3, this will have a disasterous impact on Nintendo...and we may have to consider freezing the Gamecube business altogether."
BUT in reality what he was saying is that they would hold the release until a more favorable opinion came out. Don't think freeze as in stop, think freeze as in freeze-thaw.
Pardon me if this seems harsh, but people need to CHECK THEIR FACTS before they submit a story.
-- -
This is an ill-informed story.(steps up on soapbox) I quote from Shacknews, which posted this story on April 19th:
Yikes! Holy bad translations batman! He's actually referring to the release and holding back the console until they can get a positive response.
There. The Gamecube will be produced, but depending on the feedback from E3, they might hold back the release of the console.
-
Been there done that...This was a bad translation that was covered a week or so ago at Nintendojo as well as my page. Here is another quote
'We have high hopes for the show and are confident the games will impress and astound attendees.'
The 'freeze' was just horribly translated. What he was referring to was in more general terms just to stop doing whatever doesn't impress people at E3. Sounds like what any developer would say. If they show off something at a trade show and everyone says that particular aspect or feature of a game sucks then they dont do it. He wasnt referring to the console system as a whole though.

This is a bad translation (hopefully)
Check out this article on the good ol' shack.

Now if they could make some real games for the system. Mario and Zelda shoudn't be the only reason to buy a console. (Oh yea, forgot Mario Paint) -
They forgot a few things.
What about ASP and ColdFusion? Gee, why didn't I see them here? And what about the homebrew server-side code that the Shack uses? That site's uptime and responsiveness is greater than that of Slashdot, which is primarily due to the server running BSD rather than Linux. And that web server doesn't even have a RAID cage (the proof is in the "0 comments" lines beside some of the mid-March articles, due to a missed backup).
