Demo ran 'fine'. No tweaking, straight out of the box. If people are honest about the game not running for them, then I will admit that there must be some problems somewhere. What they are, who knows?
the UI problems can be tweaked. Surf around, and you can move the HUD out to the border of the screen a bit.
The controls are a little floaty. Again, surf around, things can be tweaked.
Have a little bit of faith. The dude says they'll patch. With any luck, it'll be a day and date patch, with at least the two.ini changes I've mentioned.
I've preordered, and have every intention of picking up the game next Wednesday.
Many of 'these groups' fight at all levels. One of the reasons Blockbuster doesn't carry NC17 movies is because of lobbying by similar groups.
The site questions the rating systems for games and movies. They wonder if a game with 'sniper mode' should be marketed to kids, and not have an 'M' rating. They question why 'Whale Rider' should be PG13 instead of PG.
What they should be doing is saying to parents: check out the game/movie your kids want you to buy. Talk to people you know (not anonymous busybodies on the internet) for their opinions.
The group seems to be yet another in favor of limiting tradtional boys' play in favor of girls' play.
But they do serve a reasonable service. Many of the games and toys cited probably are inappropriate for young children. But... See, that's what the 'T' and 'M' ratings are for. OTOH, they clearly understand that ratings systems are absurd. They recommend 'Whale Rider', a film that received a PG13. L&L have chosen to mirror the thoughts of myriad film reviewers: this is a film that many young adults and children should be seeing.
FWIW, they spend much more time blasting action figures than video games, but I suppose the video game angle provides a better hook for/.
really, REALLY hope they get those performance issues dealt with, as the game is pretty choppy in even 800x600
Damn. I was hoping to avoid computer upgrades. Well, at least with the demo, I have a couple of weeks to upgrade stuff before the actual release. OTOH, your idea of choppy and mine may differ:)
Why would your logs indicate someone using assistive tech? And why would they necessarily contact you one way or the other? If it works, fine, if it doesn't, does your site have something so unique it can't be found elsewhere?
FWIW, my wife is deaf-blind, so all that fancy text to speech shit is a waste of time. w3m and a braille display is where it's at.
Anybody with an ounce of sense recognizes that special tax breaks to Wal-Mart are not fair. The same person recognizes that Enron and the California energy situation were pretty damned far from being unregulated.
I'm the first to bring up Nanking (particularly when told how insensitive it is for the US to honor the crew of the Enola Gay), but I think what happened in Dresden (and Hiroshima and Nagasaki) is a bit different. Hell, it's even different in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Tokyo, owing to the fact that the stuff would light off and burn for much less time than the buildings in Dresden.
Well, take a lump of coal, subject it to enough heat and pressure, and you get a diamond. You should be thanking the Americans profusely.
(Horrible joke. Why did I have to read Slaughterhouse Five to find out just how obscene what we did to that city was? Seems like the folks in Dresden could have a serious discussion with those of Hiroshima and Nagasaki regarding who got the worst of WWII)
My 'evidence' was a joke. You might want to ask the doc to up your medication.
And if farscape did not fall into this trap, does not mean that the writers really should have tried to pull a stunt to make the show survive.
Depends on the goal. Commercial success: maybe. Artistic success: definately not.
Perhaps not "jumping the shark" was an irresponsible or uncreative act on the part of the production team?
'Uncreative'?? Most of the 'creative' moves are so hackneyed and obvious that they fall into categories. Perhaps you remember the Poochie episode of the Simpsons? Adding a new character is not 'creative'.
Or... Maybe you took my joke and are running with it? Nah, too subtle for/.
Ummm... Did you actually watch the last season of Northern Exposure? That series definately went on at least one season too long. I present this as evidence in support.
Wasn't attempting to be witty or guffaw. I was relating an actual, real world (well, as RW as college is, anyway) experience that was germane to the discussion. Some people equate sex with violence. Therefore, rating stuff for sex IS rating it for violence. Further, your reply (well thought out that it seems) does nothing to justify a 'troll' rating. If anything, redundant. Most likely, your analysis justifies no moderation. Not every comment needs modding.
To be fair, it shouldn't surprise anyone. The man is a freak. Anyone who let his child be alone with MJ is an unfit parent. Ditto any parent who leaves his child alone with a priest.
When in college, I attended more than a few discussions by various women's groups. The consensus was that any male-female sexual intercourse was violent (actually, their term was 'rape').
I've got a first gen machine. Cost a little more than $240. Also well worth it.
You should be able to plug in one of the various USB wifi antennas and be able to go wireless. Also, the guys who run slimdevices are extremely cool. You may be able to ask if they'll take your wired in exchange for a wireless.

Nice gift. Leave it to a slashbot to find a gift that makes some skank-ass tie look good.
Now go and write down the SI prefixes 100 times.
I use the English system. Can't I just write three paragraphs of four sentences of eight words each? It works out about the same.

Why the return to the ancient .sig?
Is Dayton still with us?
Owned mindshare, like RedHat. Or perhaps they meant 0\/\/N3D.
