"All the editors (except maybe Photoshop and Maya) are included in the game itself. You probably can switch between the map editor and game on the fly, changing the level, pressing a key and seeing it all in action. Not the first game ever to do this (e.g. the Battlezone action RTS had a similar stryle of level editing), but a welcome addition, nonetheless".
Cube actually has a builtin level editor you can switch to while in a single player game (or on a server where the mode is "Coopedit".) To switch to it, press 'e' and you'll be in the editor, press it again, and you'll be back in the game, and the entire process is seamless.

GAH! Curse the slashdot effect *grumble* *grumble*.
Well, I've got an account, yay, before the midnight rush of high bandwidth usage and server failures begin.:P *goes to see how many posts he can make before it goes offline*
It is hard to imagine that... I used to get up to 3 days of uptime with my 98 box. However, my dad put Malfuntioning Edition on here, and there went my uptime down teh crapper. And now, I barely get more than a day (in fact, it is hard for me to get a day of uptime.):-(
I have a great grandmother that lives in Winter Haven, Florida, who plays this game frequently. I found this out when I traveled there to stay a few days in November 2003 (Right around Thanksgiving).
If I knew how well she plays the game, I'd email this story to her.:)
This is appalling news.... Coffee should have caffeine!
Or, just buy some jolt, and mix that in with your coffee. And even if that coffee costs more than regular coffee, you'd be getting more bang for your buck.
Or we can just do a daring commando raid on the factory, I'll bring the rubber bands..;)
Only if I had a 100% of being alive in 10 years. Plus, I'd bring a few water guns, a 10 year supply of JOLT, and lots and lots of rubber bands, if you get my drift.;)
Yeah, I am a bit of a Linux user myself (I have Knoppix and Fedora Core 1), but I can't get my internet/IRC fix. But I am one of the lucky ones that has DSL, however, the first modem I had with it was a USB ADSL modem, and one that used a software driver *gasp*. However, that one bit the bucket, and got a new one, provided for free by my local ISP (yay ^_^), and thank god that there are drivers for it.
But even though there are drivers for it (it's a ZyXel Prestige 630 modem, very nice.), I just don't know if it is supported with those drivers.
In question though, you have to think about how fast Linux is growing. I mean, people are gradually starting to realize the truth, that there is more beyond Winblows. I even browsed the screenies and drooled, I needed to keep my keyboard out of the vicinity of my keyboard so that I don't mess it up. 10 buckets of drool later, I realized that this BeOS flavor has potential, and I salute the Yellow Tab developers for creating a product who's interface is drool-inducing (at least for me, it was;))
Very possible, via a graphics library that doesn't reqire X (e.g. SVGALib, etc) and then just code in a way to emulate the X server (just the parts needed for compatibility with X-based programs), and voila, you've got WM (window manager) without X!
Searching the web, I came across a WM that mimicks the Amiga Workbench UI nicely, it requires X. It's called AmiWM, and you should see some of the screenshots on the site, looks almost exactly like the Workbench UI, with, possibly, a few differences on the outside, but should be suitable for Amiga-freaks who may use a Unix workstation every now and then.:)
do agree that this sucks. Technically, China is still communist, and Wikipedia is about as fine an example of the triumph of successful communist principles (community-owned, from according to assets, to according to need) as you could ask for. Seems like a stupid idea on the part of China.
Agreed, communism isn't as great as democracy (although, it (communism) may have some hidden advantages), and I don't know enough about Communism in general to make a statement about this.
Hehe. Doom is the most beautiful game in development, Sony simply lied to us...
And. I don't actually play RPGs, however, I prefer the run, gun, and ask questions later, First person shooters. At least it is prettier.:D
Hey, at least it is in PDF. If this magazine were to be in paper form, the publisher would lose money if it didn't catch on quickly. Thankfully, you can still print it out and bind it yourself.:)
Speaking of First person shooters, DooM and DooM II on the GBA was a great idea, because it is not too complex, is 2.5D, and uses sprites for charater and item graphics.
Shoot me if I say this, but I've never played Wolf3D, but I have heard of it.
Looking back on Splinter Cell for the GBA (which I don't own, mind you), it's console/PC variant was a first person shooter, and it still held together when it was ported to the GBA. Let's just hope that Halo for the GBA (in any form) stays together through the porting.:)
Everyone hates that Paperclip, and if someone makes a paperclip-themed DooM enemy, you are a god.:)
In other news, M$ is just trying to bushwhack you into thinking that Windows is better, don't listen to them, and stay in school (unless the comp lab runs on Windows), then just pray to god you can get homeschooled.:)
The advantage of free software is that you don't have to do it all yourself from scratch
Okay, true... but despite the fact that they are coding a new kernel from scratch, you won't have to worry about existing code that could be buggy.
but why not take the Linux kernel with all it's hardware support
It doesn't support everything HRbnjR, I had a USB ADSL modem that didn't work under Linux (they call these "WinModems"), and coding the kernel level drivers for some of the Amiga hardware (which doesn't exist for the x86 platform) straight into the Linux kernel (2.4.x or 2.6.x) could pose problems, such as showstopping bugs, incompatibilites, etc.
... and a GLib/GTK base (perhaps without X [FB based]), and just write an Amiga Workbench (desktop environment, ala Gnome) clone???

I would. My comp isn't the greatest, but it runs Quake 3 nicely. If it were just a bit faster, I would buy the Halo PC version, just for the hell of it.

Sales of medical supplies are expected to go up this season.
:(!
Too bad it is only in europe.
All they need to do now is make an invisible weapons mod for Quake 3, and then the campers can take their revenge.

I read about Doom 3's release date on Planet Doom before the story was posted on slashdot. Also, I wonder if the WAD file format is going to change.

I can't really make an opinion on this, primarily because I use a differnt WebMail service. But if anyone would have sent an invite, I would get it.
If the coverage was wider, and service is excellent, expect lag-free gameplay on popular FPS games.
Sure, my ping is about 80-100, but that just isn't good enough for me. I WANT 0 PING! WHICH MEANS MORE FRAG FOR MAH MONEY!!!!! w00t!

You're supposed to make a final release before you launch, you insensitive clod of dust. =P

Hey, I have a mic, and I just need to download Audacity, and we'll have a true hit on our hands.
:D!
we'll call it "MicroShaft's Bullshit myth busting road trip!"
