Unreal Tournament 2003, Now With More Ogg
Alizarin Erythrosin writes "Unreality is running an article today about a hands on preview of Unreal Tournament 2003. An interesting bit was on page 2, saying that Ogg Vorbis is being used to compress the audio for the game." A nice screenshot demonstrates some of the eye-candy.
I saw this on Penny-Arcade this morning and I had the thought to send it in.... it could have been my first front page story, and then I could have gotten chicks.
damn damn damn
I miss OGG_THE_CAVEMAN too.
But is he really worth devoting an entire story to?
Dragging people kicking and screaming into reality since 1996.
I don't think people were kidding when they wondered aloud yesterday whether Slashdot was taking some sort of promotional kickback for their stories.
I'm honestly not being troll, but after seeing "ads" for Provigil, the Nomad Jukebox 3, Vonage VoIP, Compuserve 7.0, and now UT 2003 (not to mention a vaporous product from Transmeta) all within about thirty-six HOURS of each other, I can't help but wonder if this is a sign of the economic times.
Not that I'd have a problem if that turns out to be the case - but the truth would be nice.
Perhaps it's time for a change of slogan. Slashdot: Stuff for Nerds. News that matters.
