  1. The third Monkey island near confirmed it's death on Adventure Gaming: Rest In Peace? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ..at least, that's how it was for me.

    Lucasarts didn't bother to even ask creator Ron Gilbert if he had any input in Monkey Island 3, since they owned the rights to the games. The result was a quite poor followup to a supurb series which would have hooked in many new gamers to the genre. Lucasarts attempted to continue Gilberts' story and ended up tarnishing the story with countless plotholes.

    New gamers seem to be looking for the violent and flashier games while adventure game lovers look for the trickier and humourous.

  2. Some more HL2 info from today on Half-Life 2 Coverage Appearing · · Score: 1

    here.

  3. Togetherness. on New Mozilla-based Mail Client: Minotaur · · Score: -1, Redundant

    The main reason I use mozilla is because the mail and browser are packaged together.

    Basically one loading time with quick performance in both apps until I reboot.

    If I had large problems with one or the other I would drop both.

  4. Re:Graphic Adventures on Top Ten Dying Game Genres · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Monkey island 4 was 3d, and also quite poor compared to number 2.

  5. The answers are in the FAQ on XPde Makes X11 Resemble Windows · · Score: 1

    Q:I'm a avid reader of Slashdot, I'm a Linux guru, I'm a BOFH, I'm a geek, Why the hell would I want this f#@#ng software?

    A:Sorry, but I think this is not the project for you. (well, at least geeks like any kind of tech, so if you want to look at the source code.. ;-)

    It's here

  6. Re:Buffy will NEVER die! on Buffy the Vampire Slayer is Officially Over · · Score: 1

    >because I know I can trust that I'll enjoy it Alien Resurrection.

  7. Re:No news for me... on UK ISP Imposes Download Limits · · Score: 1

    I'm on a 3gig cable plan from Telstra. We have gamearena that serves demos, game servers and various game files. A month ago they pulled all the linix isos off the free server and advertised a new paid file server. Basically, I have to pay for linux. Most people ask for it to be sent to them via newsgroups, just like the old dialup days. Theres a lot more info at whingepool

  8. Re:Wait.. on Nicotine-Free Cigs, Genetically Engineered · · Score: 1

    That's *exactly* why people smoke. People will buy this amish cigarettes, smoke a few then run and buy some standard smokes to get their hit. They are trying to sell you a way to quit, when in actual fact they are selling cancer without the 'good bit'.

  9. Re:can't touch us on Hollywood Muscles Aussie ISPs Over Movie Downloading · · Score: 1

    Do yuo have an online source for this? I typed 'handing out illegal vcds on the Australian street' in google but nothing came up.

  10. Re:Blacklist... on Hollywood Muscles Aussie ISPs Over Movie Downloading · · Score: 1

    I wish it did block every IP in the world. Then I would never ever ever get caught sharing my files...with myself.
