it's john, not jon. john had nothing to do with unreal, except perhaps he inspired it. john may be great at making computer games, but you can't say that he'd necessarily be great at solving the worlds problems. playing violent games doesn't necessarily make you violent. i would imagine living in a totally violent environment may, but that is another matter altogether.
i wish that nintendo would ask sega, neogeo, atari, williams, snk, etc. to rerelease some of their older big titles from consoles and arcade systems past to the gba or ds. there are far too many great games that i'd love to play again...
around the same time, al lowe, creator of leisure suit larry and many other games was tasked at sierra to create a relatively largescale multiplayer online game. read about it on his site, here.
real: i wanna play with your ipod. apple: no way fuckface, get your own. real: how about i twist your arm? apple: fuck off. real: here, i went ahead and did it anyway and you can't do anything about it. apple: you are a thug. get lost. real: just you try and stop me. apple: eat me, loser.
i am curious, if say id were to make a 64bit compiled version of doom3 would it run in win2k or xp? for instance, apparently you can run 64bit apps on osx even though the os isn't 64bit itself. is this possible?
you know, the same thing you said could be said about the ps2 at launch. it's launch titles were pretty piss poor (certainly not taking advantage of the possibilities for a while), but somehow it got to where it is today. i think with enough developer support and backward compatibility it will see the possibilities come to fruition in a short time after launch...
looks to me like sony is overestimating the market for this thing. i have a feeling that unless it becomes thinner and lighter it will disappear into the history of consumer electronics as an 'interesting gadget before it's time (and reason to exist)'...
yeah, because u2 isn't still making any headway in the world of music. oh wait, they were nominated for a ton of grammy's and won 7 of them for that album. yeah, you'd probably never hear about their stuff being released...;P
seriously though, i don't think it is a stunt, but maybe that is wishful thinking.
not that it is entirely needed (but who has that stopped?), i wonder if they would do an amd-64 enhanced version...
btw, anyone hear when the xbox version is coming out so i know when i can ignore my xbox loving friends talking about it like it was the second coming (ala halo... sheesh!)?
the real genius of id's games since wolf3d has not been that the games themselves are amazing (which they often are) it is that they have been able to push hardware to do things that folks haven't been able to do with it since.
as i mentioned with wolf3d, you could run that game on a 286 computer and it ran pretty fast (i used to play it in highschool on our fastest pc, a 286-12mhz (ibm model 30 all-in-one unit, i think it was)...
doom3 is the same here, they are pushing pixels with essentially "ordinary" hardware.
it depends really... by doing doa the way they did, they essentially marketed themselves out of the female market, which may not be huge itself, but a volleyball game is the type of game girls might play.
as pop3 access to gmail would be a nice addition (if they added native support instead of requiring folks to use 3rd party apps like pgtgm) i think a more interesting solution would be imap. it is a more logical extension of the idea to keep all your mail together on the server forever...
well, seeing as how the 'author' of konfabulator confabulated the truth as to who originated the technology, i wouldn't waste too much time thinking about it...
i would imagine this to be the case, at least to a small degree. ever try loading windows 3.1 on a new machine and see the difference between it and win98 or 2000/xp? you'll see a similar example.
os9, like win3.1 isn't nearly as complex as osx or nt. there will be some things that run faster, but as another user said, if you are doing lots of multitasking i suspect you would notice a large negative difference...

sounds like this guy is a regular young einstein...

please read my article which touches a little on your first sentence here...

his website is running on a similar system: "web by mail". send a self-addressed envelope with your page request and recv it in 2-4 weeks.

well, keep in mind...
ati does well in the directx area, but not as hot in the opengl area. doom3 is an opengl game...
well... since it doesn't look like their "big plans" have come to any sort of fruition, i'm guessing that it is a non-issue...
or the nearest microwave oven, which at least the kingston product has problems with (don't know about other brands)...

isn't macos a registered trademark of apple? i would think they would have to call it gentoo for macos instead to avoid legal difficulty...
