Warrior-GS writes "GameSpy has two interesting interviews up. Richard Garriott of Ultima fame talks about leaving Origin, getting bought out by NCSoft and becoming a pitchman for a popular Korean MMORPG trying to make it in the states. He also mentions his new game, Tabula Rasa. The other interview is with Warren Spector, who opened up a bit on the Deus Ex sequel Invisible War, while also commenting on linear games, anime style games and what the future holds."

  I think /. hardly cares about things like that.
  
  Not when there's web interviews with guys who wrote video games in the 80s to post about.

There is a new lameness filter in slashdot which will prevent comments with the same content from being posted. Please take this into account in the next version of your script.

Re:Name the Game by AntiFreeze · 2003-02-11 10:37 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Just a note on your .sig. [Very offtopic]
It's Euler's equation, and it is e^(pi*i) + 1 = 0.
It's special because it is an equation involving all five fundamental constants of calculus. Saying e^(pi*i) = -1 removes the uniqueness of the equation. Just a note.

You're right. And I appreciate your note (and the intent behind it, I'm the same way)

However, I like e^(pi*i) = -1 because you can evaluate the natural log of negative numbers using it. Unfortunately, you get an i in the answer. Still fun though.

But thanks for noticing my .sig ;-)
