In what bizarre world are you pulling this from? Pretty much everyone's expectations were about as low as can be and yet it still managed to fall below that. DNF is a terrible game so stop with these lame excuses. The game could have been released just like this 10 years ago and it would still have sucked. You fanbois need to fucking get over yourselves.
Gearbox didn't run it into the ground. Broussard and the 3DRealms people took 14 years to squeeze out a turd log that Gearbox got tasked with polishing.
They were mainly bitching because the jokes weren't funny and it's true. Just because a joke is offensive does not automatically make it funny nor when someone finds that offensive joke to be unfunny it means they are hypersensitive. It can truly be possible for offensive jokes to just purely be unfunny and that's unfortunately how the jokes are in DNF.
Remember when it used to be first, by a huge margin?
C is still more wisely used by a huge margin. Just because you "enterprise" developers don't use it (despite the infrastructure of your managed languages being written in C and C++) doesn't change that.
Within a generation, it'll be in the same class as FORTRAN - only used to support legacy apps.
Yeah right. What are you going to write your kernels in? What are you going to use for those millions if not billions of microcontrollers that will still be in use that can't run a JVM? What exactly are you going to write your VMs and interpreters in? Right, they will have to be written in a C or C++ and assembly.
Right.... One can find a C compiler for pretty much every processor since the 80s. I can point out a number of still widely used architectures that have no JVM.
On Thursday, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Process Engineering (CAS-IPE) claimed to have run a molecular simulation code at 1.87 petaflops -- the highest floating point performance ever achieved by a real-world application code.
NVIDIA (whose GPUs accelerate these applications as a co-processor) blogged on this a while ago, where they talk about how the US really needs to up its investment in high performance computing."
This just in: Company who makes GPUs for supercomputers thinks that people should buy more of their GPUs.
The fact is, if he's in a state that REQUIRES the consent of both parties in a conversation to be recorded, and he didn't get the consent of both parties, it may be as simple as that.
Yes, but there is already relevant case law showing that recording public officials in public is allowed. This is federal case law that will trump this stupid law.
And police officers are exempt from this wiretapping law as well despite what these asshat cops and Boston think. Public officials, in this instance police officers, have NO expectation of privacy in a public place. There is already relevant case law from this very same circuit court to back this up.
Recording public officials on public property was already upheld by the 1st Circuit back in a case in 1999. One just has to hope that the judges remember that.

The expectations for this game were way too high,

Ben Kutchera may be an awful journalist, a terrible writer and everything else you say. Doesn't change the fact that the game is a steaming turd.
Agreed. What do they think this is, some crappy Halo game?
It is Duke Nukem. IT IS OFFENSIVE. Deal with it.
No, they think it's just a flat out crappy game. Just because it's Duke Nukem doesn't excuse the fact that the game sucked.
I didn't buy the game. I played it for free and even at that price it was a ripoff.
I haven't yet finished the game, but 80% sounds about right if you ignore the years of development.
But 80% sounds quite wrong when you compare it to almost any other good FPS game from the last 10 years.

Just so you know, you do not have to file in order to receive a trademark.
Yes, i4i was definitely the inventor of "custom XML". OMG so novel!

portable language like Java.
Right.... One can find a C compiler for pretty much every processor since the 80s. I can point out a number of still widely used architectures that have no JVM.
and why C is in decline.
Hahaha, lol wut? According to the much beloved Tiobe Index by Java programmers, C is 2nd place in most popular languages.
15 years of optimization from Sun just to bring it within a magnitude of C? That seems quite a bit of effort wasted.
And imagine if all that effort speeding up these slow languages was actually put to use in writing code in an efficient language to begin with.
Yeah, the US government really needs to be spending even more money than it doesn't already have.
So that was what the tiny bulge in your pants was?

The charges against him were dropped. This is a case brought by him against the City and the police.
Yes, I know it is but those dash cams do pick up audio.

Boohoo. Public officials have no expectation of privacy in a public place. The 1st Circuit already ruled on this years ago.
