I remember at the time, it seemed nigh-on impossible, and I knew one uber-geek who'd done it. But I find now, after too much Perfect Dark, Counterstrike and Half Life, I could definately do it.............and am so close to dusting off that '64 just to see. I want blastcorps though. Now THAT's a hard game.
Someone has just replied to you, and I'll definately check it out......... my partner's 6 y/o boy apparently got heavily into this game at xmas on someone's xbox360 but there's no chance that I'm going to be buying one of those boxes any time soon, and I was hoping to take a look and try and (as a Actionscript 2 programmer by profession) knock up a similar sort of game for him, but it looks like it to needing to be built on a serious platform; Flash would certainly crash out at all those visuals being calculated and drawn.
I think most people will agree that if you can make a game consisting of simple polygon models and no textures fun, before you even put the proper models and graphics in, you're close to the grail of gaming. Sadly a lot of people don't appreciate this........
What the hell? You're from england? That's total crap.
A dual carriageway is a road, seperated by *something* in the middle, that has 2 lanes going one way, and 2 lanes going the other. Unlike a motorway, they do not usually have a hardshoulder. The maximum speed limit on a dual carriageway, like a motorway, is 70mph, unless otherwise stated.
Learner drivers aren't allowed on motorways, but they are allowed on dual carriageways. On a dual carriageway you are required to stay in the left hand land unless you need to overtake or the path ahead of you is hard to pass (slow sunday driver for example)
Carmack really helps push foward the game technology world, and yes, most say that now he fails to alight the gamePLAY world, but he has as much significance to the techies as he ever did. He's an important head in such a crowded industry.
Romero is just a bit of an egomaniac who seems to have no clue these days and is past his selldate with everything. Why should we trust him?
I do this on my XBMC and my iTunes but unfortunately the XBMC absolutely refuses to submit (unless I reboot and lose the queue) the minute it even sniffs that iTunes has submitted something, unfortunately. I really ought to see if anyone's got a fix for that.
Depends if like me, you're already plugging in a second monitor, a cat5 (sometimes I have to be on a wireless as well as a wired network), a power point, a mouse, a phono to the hifi, svideo to a tv, and sometimes a printer.....
They existed. By that company who I fail to name. And people didn't rate them.
The point is, they suck, because there's no feedback. You NEED *keys* to suit the majority of people. I know I'd hate a keyboard that didn't give me a decent amount of travel. I have a hard enough time getting used to my laptop keys half the time.
I think it's an absolute pure luxury right now, and you can tell that they are aware of this, but to think that one day - maybe in 5 years - these really will be a viable purchase is exciting to myself. If the keyboard is good, this isn't a gimmick... it's a really really good way of working. I know I could do with easily seeing what every key on MY keyboard does on a long days slog in Discreet Combustion.
The demo on the site demonstrates it really well. The whole point is, it *is* extremely customisable and by the looks of things they will be releasing some form of SDK. I more see it as a stepping stone to when we can buy an array of 10 of these keys which would then be incredibly useful.
I applaud them for attempting to release even three keys. I think they've got some guts. It isn't cost effective in small quantities, but if they can secure guaranteed sales in certain areas, they can bring the pricing down by bulk purchase so much.
Good luck to them, if they pull it off.
I can't really afford $100 on that right now... especially as I am 90% at my laptop. Ah well.
There's meant to be x number of minutes of 'worship' a day. Luckily plenty of teachers at my secondary school tended to think it was total crap so didn't follow this rule.
"I don't have to swear my allegiance to God at school every morning."
Disturbingly, there's a law that requires a certain amount of christian worship at schools here in the UK. There was an article on the BBC site not long ago. I can't stand enforced worship, and personally went to CofE schools all through my school life and absolutely resented the schools for ramming christian bullshit down my throat.

You've given me flashbacks of beating the fastest times on Goldeneye... *shudder*... some were haaaard.

I'm off to check out Mono...

Must.... organise.... home....network... properly.
Ugh. It'd be nice ON a laptop setup if the thing lasted more than 5000 hours....

$100 is the price

BBC is publically funded. They are not allowed to accept commercial advertising and never have been.
No, he actually did. It's in an interview with him somewhere. I think it was the IGN one?
I don't mind them. It's just the decorating afterwards that I'm not a fan of.
On, the word you're looking for is 'on'
Unless you have ADD and can't watch tv for more than 5 minutes, what the heck is wrong with that anyway?

That'll do their base level hearing a great deal of good!
Thanks for that info.
