I knew the lindows man was going to branch out to another silly/lucrative market as soon as he could, as lindows seems to be going nowhere.
(see:post.goingdowntheline)
He doesn't actually care about what he's doing, he's just trying to make himself the top of a somewhat niche market.
Don't worry. It doesn't look like he's putting too many animation frames int he game (see video), so even if it's unbearably choppy you won't miss all the animation...
Dont' you know that no matter how fast it is looking straight into a solar eclipse with unprotected eyes can cause severe damage to your eyesight and possibly even permanent blindness
For goodness sake, if GTK+ doesn't even have the sense to look away, is there hope for Quartz, or even the somewhat bumbling MFC/VB toolkits?!?!?
This game is just amazingly well-written and even cast.
These kind've games are like novels, they take a long time to finish, and sometimes you just can't stop while at others you get frustrated or distracted (like when you have no idea how to solve a puzzle, like I don't, like right after I start up that transport or whatever robot I'm completely stuck *wink* *wince*)
Anyways, it's sad that games like this are few and far between. Maybe someone can turn this awesome art form into a cash generator again. I think shenmue is a shining example of a more 'mainstream' evolution of this storytelling genre.
Anyways, enough with the babbling self. These kind of games rock! No doubt about it.
I'm going to go out on a hunch and assume that after Multi Theft Auto 0.1 was released the guys at Rockstar North took notice, and addded to/developed around this mod for the PC Vice City 'port'.
As I echoe'd in a post on the ever popular Voodoo Extreme Now part of Ign, this kind of grace rarely is dispersed to people making game-revolutionary hacks like this.
Me, I'm still hoping and holding on to the thought that someone might resurrect the Tresspasser Hacking Society one day. But that is one example of how this pretty much on average never> happens. Props to R*ckStar.
Really.
Gaming, especially online gaming, is a potentially lucrative market for sure
Props to linksys for seeing the need in the market for 'plug and play' networking products marketed as console exclusive.
They know what they're doing, at least in this endeavor.
firstpost is a saga of people blatherignn thier mouthes off while making no sense and where are all the people to cahnge things backto wherei s t well mainstram fools!!!!
I trust that Crystal Dynamics could make a very original and probably good game based on the TR franchise, and core has pretty much just been milking the cow for the previous 3 or 4 sequals anyways. Though many devotees would disagree because some really did seem to like more of the same.
Anyways, CD may make a tight TR game, but it's hard to predit whether the spirit of the original will be lost or discarded in favor of var(currenttrendinvideogameindustry) or float(increasing age of video game players).
Maybe they'll just take some pictures of Jolie and start tying in directly with the movie characters. Heheh, I'm sure that will improve teh quality of the next TR movie immensely.
Though it seems that all this 'movie sucks because game' sucks crap is why this change has occured.
A lot of developers also apparently signed on for the GP32 like Capcom and SNK but nothing seemed to happen outside of the korean market.
The one thing that would seem to entice more developers is having the device based on a system (like palm os, coincidentally) that would potentially be future cell phone tech and thus be easily portable to the lucrative cell market.
If some synergy between handheld/cell software got going, it could get interesting and actually non-spartan for this device and devices like it.
I remember a couple years ago reading a PC Gamer QA/Article on Broadband types, they mentioned the whole DSL latency thing as if it were inherent. This to me makes the lower cost somewhat irrelevant when my cable network infrastructure generally leaves me with real world pings of under 100ms.
The added latency in dsl setups can also add to irritation when web surfing as well.
I dunno about this.
But osx and gnu seem to have a pretty good relationship
Ideally darwin and osx should/could be merged
and freeosx or gnuosxwm would be free for everyone!!!
Yeah!

Just use gum or something. How about mac addresses, I bet there are plenty of those left. Better yet, upgrade to BIG Mac ddresses, then we'll never EVER run out. Even then, we can still add the Super Size if need be.
And it was kinda like a gut bomb. Sorta like the look and feel of Netscoop that has carried into this release. I hope they can add skin support and get something new/unified going to synch up with firebird and be sleek-esque.
Any plans for this?

Oh wait. Nevermind.
I just get jumpier and jumpier these days...

You could actually take that one literally or phonetically, the outcome would be the same...
Another hillarious post.

We'll all be running blind!
The horror, agony, apathy.
Thanks so much for the freebie devs!

Stupid industry(/ies)
Honestly. The ozone will take care of itself, just put some tin foil up there instead and stop worrrying about it.

I only wrote all that because I saw the fp oppourtunity. I knew very well that it was redundant, and yes, pretty much uninformative.
Please forgive me, slashdot mods and members alike.....for falling to the tome of firstpost.
Seriously. What even comes close to competing with A: The freeness and B:The power of Apache.
It's really kind've ridiculous. Don't you think?

Yeah!
fp!
Everyone knows you need developer back up to get anywhere in the 'gaming handheld' business.
Oh well, hopefully the controls are good enough that it could encourage some good homebrew/port games
fp!

So if you're like me (or more specifically, my brother)
You leave the NiMH on NiCad for three days and produce some visibly peeling acid bombs.
Seriously, I just touched them, didn't feel anything sticky, didn't even see anything white or discoloured.
A few hours later my mouth, esophogus, and stomach severely regretted it. I still have a minor ulcer from this, which happened a couple weeks ago.
STUPID BATTERIES!!!! WHY ARE THEY MADE OF CRAZY PERSON KILLING ACID!!!
Sorry, but you can see my plight.
Wow I'm smart.
That's what I get for being stupid though.
