  1. Re:Finally... on Portal Now Available On Linux · · Score: 1

    "early 2013"

    Slightly off the mark (it's about half-way through 2013 now) but still, nice.

  2. Re:Well... on Warner Bros. Sued By Meme Creators Over Copyright Infringement · · Score: 2

    I just hope this doesn't become some sort of sue-bait kind of thing. Memes can't have enough room to fit in a copyright disclaimer.

  3. Re:Copyright of IDEAS is ridiculous on Warner Bros. Sued By Meme Creators Over Copyright Infringement · · Score: 4, Informative

    I've seen those two particular "memes" on the Playstation Store as dynamic themes in a recent April 2013 update, "officially licensed", for $3 each.

    So yep.
    . Who knows what would happen to the Steam Workshop for Scribblenauts Unlimited now, as it's 99% encumbered by facsimilies of real registered trademarks, created by players.

    I blame Neil deGrasse Tyson.

  6. Re:Benchmarks are nice, but... on Ouya Performance Not Particularly Exciting · · Score: 1

    With 8GB I don't think you can fit much good on the storage through the internet. All I can think of the Ouya is being a hyped-up "revolutionary" box that offers a few f2p trials and nothing more.

  7. If they lasted longer... on Why PC Sales Are Declining · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Why have computers not stopped after I built my AM5x86? It still functions today and can still surf the web. It's on its second AT PSU though.

    Still, crappy logic, especially when OEM computers are designed to have a short lifespan to spur sales of newer models.

  8. Who's Steven Segal on New Revenue Model For Low Budget Films: Lawsuits · · Score: 1, Funny

    Isn't he known for Uner Sige 2?

  9. Re:Obligatory on The Search Engine More Dangerous Than Google · · Score: 1

    Daedalus would make more sense, to be honest.

  10. Re:Command and Conquer .. on EA Repeats As 'Worst Company In America' · · Score: 1

    I started off on Dune II on Windows 3.1.

    That release is DOS only

  11. TinyCore? on Linux Fatware: Distros That Need To Slim Down · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No interface, but you wanted tiny didn't you?

    SliTaz is also another tiny one but has an interface and a cute spider.

  12. Re:I think those two games on Activision, Raven Release 2 Star Wars Games Under GPL · · Score: 1

    The roadblock is doing new skeletons and animations from scratch . You can't just simply use the same animations, that would be illegal.

    It would take a lot of competence, tlaent and familiarity with Blender and game engines to do that, which is frankly, quite lacking in the FOSS community, to be honest.


    And no clamoring for the IQM format or SDL will change anything. It didn't work for RTCW, ET, or Doom 3.

  13. Re:Stomp your feet & say it isn't DRM. on EA Responds To Its Appearance In the 'Worst Company In America' Poll · · Score: 4, Informative

    One word: Origin. I'll never forgive them for Origin.


    ....and by that, I mean the events that happened in 1991.

  14. Re:Sorry- the game assets are NEVER released on Activision, Raven Release 2 Star Wars Games Under GPL · · Score: 1

    You think they'd take assets of the Star Wars IP and release it into the wild under the GPL?

    Past source releases didn't Free their assets either.


    There's a lot of point to this source release. Modders (who have the original games) can extend the engine for making their mods have more features. Engine coders can scrape some of the engine bits (like fixed flare implementations, marks on models) to other id Tech3 engines. Even maybe even the ICARUS stuff (if it's in there) can be backported to iostvef to make the single player function for Elite Force (a STAR TREK game).

  15. Re:models on Activision, Raven Release 2 Star Wars Games Under GPL · · Score: 1

    You can't GPL works of a big franchise. That's just pounding sand.

    One could start a media project that infringes on nothing with absolutely nothing derivative of the Star Wars universe, calling things like "shaftpoles" (they're shafts of light that form within a pole), maybe even dropping the sci-fi setting altogether.

  17. Re:Neat, but Why? on Capcom Remastering DuckTales Game · · Score: 1

    Like..... Little Nemo the Dream Master? Darkwing Duck? Aladdin?

    At least they don't have artgerm ruining the art this time.

  18. Re:INFOCOM LEVEL 3! on Possible Cyber Attack Against South Korean Banks and TV Stations · · Score: 1

    When it gets to level 0, they are more likely to have them eaten by a grue.

  20. Re:Having a temper tantrum and... on Google Super Sync Sports Turns Your Phone Into A Gamepad · · Score: 4, Insightful

    there's also the latency issue, something no one thinks about when it comes to hype like this, limiting the application of such a device to less real-time genres of games.
