    I love people who can't figure out how to click on the right "Reply to This" link and are too stupid to read the GIANT FREAKING COMMENT above them to figure out what they're responding to.

    Besides, we're talking games.

    Java really is about 10% as fast as native when it comes to graphics, mostly because the AWT really sucks.

    Ever used Java? They don't use simple things like handles and the like. Instead they require you to allocate like five different objects just to access a fucking file. What the hell?!

    Seriously, trying to run games in Java is a fucking joke, and I can't believe that the mods here are so fucking stupid that they can't see that. There's absolutely no reason to write something that requires speed as much as a game in Java.
