Isn't it funny how the media and the politicians go after games like Doom after a teenage shooting yet there are many websites like this that teach you had to build a nailgun.
That being said, here's my disclaimer. I don't believe in censoring websites and nailguns don't kill people, people kill people, yadda yadda yadda...
Please! No more FPS! I think this industry needs an infusium of 2D sidescrollers! Games like Contra or even Jazz Jackrabbit are fun and addictive--- and the good thing is you don't need the hardware to play them! And the games would be easier to develop.

Re:I still haven't filled my 60GB HDD...

1.5 TB DVD by 2010
·
· Score: 1
This is because the 4.7GB DVD-RW drives out there use one layer on one side. Some DVD movies use 2 layers on 2 sides, making the 4.7GB = 4.7 * 4 = 18.8GB which is around what was originally predicted from what I remember.
OK you're right, after I submitted and did more remembering, I remember my friends having 1GB hard drives in '95. But in '92 when we purchased a 486DX/33 it had a 120MB hard drive that was big for its time. Still, 7 years ago we had 1.6GB hard drives. Do you think 1.5TB will be such a big deal in 7 years? I don't think so. We'll have 1TB hard drives in 4-5 years from now.
2010--- that's 7 years from now. 7 years ago I was dumbfounded by Pentium 166's with 200MB hard drives. In 2010 1.5Terabytes will be no more impressive than the 4.7GB I can currently burn on my DVD-R/W drive.
Yeah, if you import your current pages into Dreamweaver, you may run into problems. If you create your pages from scratch with the tool, the HTML output is just amazing. None of that extra crap Frontpage throws in. Just clean, HTML. I still prefer handcoding with UltraEdit but that's just me.
Please excuse my stupidity, but where do you get the Q3A engine? Don't laugh, but is this the Quake 3 engine? What does A stand for and where can I download this! Gracias.
I have to admit that I liked Doom when it came out because it was new technology and it was different. Now that I've upgraded my PC with a fast 3D card and a blazing new CPU, I've found that there *aren't* a lot of good games to choose from anymore.
Whatever happened to games like Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max, the Space and King's Quests, even Legend of Kyrandia. Something about those adventure games were compelling.
And *no*, 9 times out of 10, (3D != fun) That's my honest opinion. Now I feel like a dummy for purchasing my GeForce 4TI with 128DDR RAM:-(
I can't believe nobody's mentioned this, or if they have, I must've missed it... but: How come AOL can fight email spammers yet can flood every physical home address in the western world with those shitty AOL trial floppies and CD's? They must've produced millions of that landfill candy.
Oh yeah I remember I had that same kind of problem in Space Quest III--- commands like "get thermal detonator" or "drop claw" didn't always jump out at you. You had to play around with the words!
You just reminded me. I used to have a popular domain name here in BC, Canada and the huge phone company in western Canada sued my company for having a.ca version of their popular.com website. They could not take my domain name because my business model wasn't stated in their trademarks "wares". Every trademark (in Canada anyways) has to say what product it's selling. Therefore, McDonald's shoe company can have a McDonald's trademark if its wares are shoes because the huge McDonald's food chain's wares are most likely food, fast-food etc.
Exactly. evisa.com has been around since 1997. If I open a store called epillows.com and don't trademark the name and some big pillow company decides to trademark epillows and e-pillows, there's no way in hell they're taking my domain without a fight.
Who pissed in your Wheaties this morning. People are getting sued. People are getting money. Yet are you getting less spam? Maybe you should be more clear next time.
Just yesterday I received a supposed email from my girlfriend with a greeting card link. So I clicked the link because once in a while it's nice getting a funny online greeting.
First it asked me to put in 10 email addresses before I could view the damn thing, so I entered bob@bob.net, joe@joe.com etc... Then the damn site gave me a one-line joke (which sucked by the way) about the queen. My girlfriend is Chinese--- she would NOT send me a joke about the queen.
So at home I asked her about the greeting and she said she didn't send me a the link. She, of course, received this "greeting card" link from a friend of hers, and when asked for 10 email addresses, my girlfriend, of course, used my *real* personal email for one of them (innocent little thing).
Yes I'm aware of Trillian and Jabber for Linux etc. But as far as I know you can't call it MSN Messenger and have that rainbow butterfly logo unless it's actually Microsoft. The article states that MSN Messenger will be in the final product, not Trillian or Jabber. BTW I prefer Trillian as well;-)

On a side note, I still beleive the best Atari game for the 2600 is Combat.
No it's called McDonald's.
Agreed, good thing Chretien will be stepping down after this term. I'm voting for the Canadian Alliance, however l-)
And capatlistic tendencies are bad? God forbid anyone try and make money.
If you don't want to put in the cost of the programmers who programmed the car in the first place.
you try using a moderm DOS emulator on those old DOS programs then tell me how easy it is---

By the way, I am young (22)--- that isn't much younger than you, old man ;-)

No, if you RTFA it says the trademarks are pending. Thanks for coming out.
No, evisa.com was around before e-visa.com so your argument doesn't work.
