PATHWAYS INTO DARKNESS (Wolf 3D era)(Bungie)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathways_into_Darkness
and
MARATHON (Doom era)(Bungie)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon_(video_game)
Both had outstanding plots, better mechanics than Wolf 3d or Doom, and generally explain why Bungie is now a world-class game company whereas Id is merely a world-class game-programming company that makes crappy games.
Suck iTTT, Carmack!
Supporters must all have been software pirates when they were kiddies.
If it could have been done without subsidies then it would have been done without subsidies.
You are all new-wave hippy idiots.
oh, forgot to mention that if anything goes wrong with the software, i.e. crash, there is no guarantee that you will be allowed to reboot your computer, no guarantee that whatever you've written already can be recovered, and no extra time allowed for any time lost fiddling with the computer, answers lost, etc...
So I'm thinking there is a non-trivial chance a big OS patch could introduce an unwelcome issue and so I should avoid applying the patch till after the exam. Does this make sense?
I am using special exam software to take a grad school exam Wednesday morning. The version of the software which I'll be using was released TODAY.
Would I be smart to turn off Automatic Updates on Monday, or is this just paranoia?
