Wish Cancelled
·
· Score: 1
Well, having actually played the latest beta they had done a great job and a lot more than was needed if they were only planning to 'sell the technology'.
Imho Wish was the best thing since the 1997 release of Ultima Online
This is really sad.. considering I had a great time in the Wish beta (although short), i was eagerly awaiting its launch AND i was ready to cancell EQ2 and WoW to play this game, because it was THAT MUCH better than them.
Here are some images from a great encounter, with 500+ enemies being killed...

Shortshort story related to pictures: enemy had taken over a friendly city, a brave party of 15 adventurers decide to help out.. but first we have to cross enemy territory,.. only 4 of us get there in the end.. we meet up with others and finally win the day...
As far as I know Copyright Infringement is a civil offense and not a criminal one.
Thus it is a "infringement" and not a "crime".
[except in the US perhaps?]
Anyone with some legal insight into Finnish Copyright Law care to shed some light on this?
I would expect the Finnish people to be released and their systems returned shortly, as well as the case dropped. Might give the owner a fine, however.
How do you check up if your ISP is hosting spammers or is hosting a company that is on some "Hey, lets use noobs to DDoS"-list (which will in turn affect YOUR Company thanks to all the bandwidth being (ab)used even more)?
We must also find out how these statistics are created. Could the IE numbers be even lower, due to some browsers have chosed to identify themselves as Internet Explorer and not Opera, for example.
I believe the old opera versions were pre-configuerd to "identify as internet explorer 6.x" due to issues with a lot of (stupid) web sites 'requiring' IE.
Unlike most Service Packs, XP SP2 is more than just a 'fix' its also a hozed tcp/ip implementation, a no-execute/buffer overflow prevention, new firewall, popup blocker and whatnot.
If it was simply a FIX that updates your computer and removes previous Microsoft security issues (while introducing new ones).. then.. MAYBE... MAYBE you could use that "You morons, you should have updated" approach..
For a lot of people and organizations, XP SP2 is not something you can just install. YOu need to test it, rewrite applications, create group policies and whatnot before you can roll it out.
The framerate is usually 30-60 fps.. but goes to hell if a dead monster lands ontop of another and its'nt able to "go to rest".. it will stop 'shaking' after a while.
You can try it yourself, just bind a key to "spawn monster_zombie_fat" and load the map "map testmaps\test_box".. and shoot a monster on top of another... result - floppy-floppy-framerate-killer.
Luckily it does'nt happen that often in game, has happened once of twice.
The thing is, when you kill a monster you can walk through it, but it still interacts with the environment. When you kill another monster, it interacts with the other body and environment, but you can still walk through them. So I guess its a lot of extra "computing" to be done for that effect.
Its not about being a 'good guy with nothing to hide' its about freedom.
Requiring an id on person at all times and being stopped by the police looking for "paperz please!" seems more like a gestapo, stasi or former USSR method.
How can the consumers accept something they most likely did'nt know about - or were oblivious too.
In consumer zombie land - they dont care about anything than getting the latest fix - regardless of what the future will bring because of it.
"CD"
Last time I checked - a music CD not following the REDBOOK format is not a music CD. Meaning you should be able to play the audio tracks on any CD Device regardless of it being in your car, on your computer or anywhere. It may look like a cd, smell like a cd and taste like a cd.. but its not a CD.

Says the person who decided to post the comment anonymously in fear of being repression by "the Man".
Its quite easy really. See what the comment says, look who posted it. Thats who said it.
Unless the person is quoting something, like
"And we shall fight on the beaches.." - W. Churchill (Or that guy in the BBC who did his voice..)
Then the person who said it, did not actually say it, but quoted another person saying it - and gave credit to that person.
Its because of overpopulation.

Sounds like brainwashed horde to me.
Its like, when you become a zombie after being bitten by a zombie, you want to bite others, and thus, infect them as well - turning them into zombies.
So, the US is inhabited by Zombies?
Ack! Zombies!
You snort soda?
Man! You get high on that?
Except you have to run 7 applications to be "safe".
I'd call that a problem.

The best of both worlds, but also the worst of the CRT World.
E.g Refresh Rate issues, Pollution, Power Usage.
Still.. a smaller 24" widescreen would be nice, since this Compaq weights around 44 pounds.
shdocvw.dll not shockvw.dll.
But yes, its made in flash nevertheless.
Until you "Net stop themes"
People are "inferior" to "celebrities" as long as "people" subscribe to the idea of this "inferior"ness.
If you dont click on 'entertainment news' in the local newspapers web-page, on cnn.com or whatever.com they will see what "people" want to read.
If you dont watch the "celebrities" on the television, the ratings will show what you ARE interested in.
Do not complain about something you are not doing anything to change.

Just be carefull that you do not shoot a monster over another... the result is that your framerate goes to hell.

1. The lighting is good, but not that good. Try using the flashlight between a grating for example.
2. Uhm. I would play the game a bit more and then re-evaluate that statement, if I were you.
3. ? So far I've not seen any interaction with the environment thanks to the ragdoll effect on the models.
4. ONly if you SPECIFICIALLY enable 5.1 in the control panel. If you have it set for 6.1 or 7.1 you get nothing...
(hoping the patch that)
True.
BREAKING NEWS: Nvidium Geforce 6800 SLI now available in stores worldwide (all necessary cables (batteries not included) and motherboards included!).
All great news.. but WHEN can I find it available in the stores, that would be NEWS.
"this cd needs to install an upgrade to function"?
Exactly what does it "upgrade"?
Its like receiving a email "I love you, click this link".
"I will upgrade your computer - just click ok!"
Good way to fool innocent computer illiterates though.
[any spelling mistakes came from the internet(tm)]

You're not a part of Germany, France, Italy or the UK, sorry mate, you dont live in Europe. :-)
