It goes into some great details about what's available today, and where Lua is heading in the future."

    I think they need to take Bob's advice. Very irritating to read.

    ...past the shipping titles intentions...
    ...if you're games have Lua capabilities...
    ...and add-on's that you can download for free...

    ...and that's just the first two paragraphs...

      Heh heh heh. Why do I never have mod points when I needs 'em?

  3. Um, yeah. Not so much. by Sliptwixt · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's like bastard child of a VB nun mistakenly locked in a room full of Perl madmen.

    Turned me off from doing any scripting for WoW completely.

    Pure genious, the download page has background music. The only page that has links to pop up videos... with sound... so you can hear the background music, and the video.. at the same time. Too smart for this world is what that is. Oh and the video just ended with the progress bar at %30. Is this game really playable? Looks nice, but what i've seen so far the only war is in the web development team.
