A juice machine that mixes juice for you. I could see some applications towards commercial places selling "custom juices." But its pretty damn self defeating idea for personal use. Most people that have juicers are trying to get healthy, whats the point if you sit on your ass and make juice from the couch?
Humanity is too fixated on making physical activity easier and less stressing on the body. Seems like a bad idea. Next thing you know there'll be a WiFi robot that takes dumps for you.
"www.planetquake.com, im sure you dont need me to hold your hand while you search through them."
Actually you do. You made the claims, you should at least back them up. Find me a mod that turns Quake into a Halo, and was made back in 1996.
No, you would be refering to Multiplayer games (MUDs/Mush etc), theres a reason why theres an additional M in MMOG/MMORPG.
Ahem. EverQuest was released in March 16, 1999. Everquest is a MMORPG. Halo was released in November 15, 2001. I seriously doubt you're friends had never heard of Everquest (EverCrack). Please try again.
Switch between. However considering you can write a macro to achieve the same ends as Halo in Quake, does it matter?
A differant animation to represent the same result is hardly "innovative"
So basically you're saying you have to go out of your way to do something that was built-in naturally? Its not the same ends. You are still switching a weapon. There is a difference. In Halo whenever you use a weapon to attack it has different damage ranges, different damage impact (depleting health), and different recovery times.
Pistol whipping isn't going to do as much damage as a Rocket Launcher bash or as ranged. But its going to be a lot quicker. Regardless, using a marco gives you the same melee attack on every attack. Don't pass off things as "different animations."
I was too lazy to referance each game that primarly contributed to each element due to the idiocy of the origional respponder. But your right, this one mainly came from Tribes.
Well if you're going to play it that way, you can credit vehicles to WarCraft. I mean they do the exact same thing right? They transport units. Well at least they are identical in your logic.
Mind giving a list of all these mods? Oh how about a mod that combines them all into a refined combat gameplay?
MMORPG have been around a lot longer than todays time. Sure they weren't as to scale. But you're comparing a multiplayer FPS to an RPG. Let me know when Final Fantasy Online, or Ragnork, or World of WarCraft, or even Everquest has the exact same amount of action going on all at once.
Can you bludgeon people with ANY weapon in hand in Quake? Or do you have to switch to a specific weapon for melee?
I can't remember any Quake plugin back from 1996 that had vehicles that you could get in and out of or had the same dynamic in gameplay as Halo.
PS.
Halo supports up to 16 people, please try to get your facts straight.
Recharging shields -> Marathon (predates Quake)
Thats kind of a lame rebuttal. The discussion is on video games, not movies. If you want to go that method then I guess the Army has to take the thanks for innovating.
Bill: Hurry with that Tiger Gold Master download! Damn BitTorrent... 23MB downloaded but over 210GB uploaded. Microserf #1: Master, it is downloading as fast as possible. Bill: I don't care, we have less than three years to reverse engineer this and sell it to the sheep-errrr Windows Users. Microsoft #1 and #2: Yes, Master. Bill: Crap that reminds me, did you two patent the whole concept concept of "Searching", "Looking", and "Finding" yet?

So you have a CHERRY, that is really a BANANA because its stolen from a PEAR, to run an APPLE.
Damn now I'm hungry.
Anyways the sad thing is; quite a few people will probably buy CherryOS (especially if it comes in a box) because they don't know any better. I hope CherryOS meets a horrible demise, along with The Video Professor.
Slashdot Mirror
Microsoft's innovation is taking beautiful things, and making them butt ugly.
Besides, this feature probably won't make it into the final release of Longhorn anyway.
Well at least Windows Users will still get WinFS, Avalon, Indigo, and Paladin... oh wait... nevermind.
Hmmmm...

Micro$oft Windows: What virus do you want today?
Micro$oft AntiVirus: We charge you extra for locking in.
I wonder if M$AV will uninstall Windows, otherwise it wouldn't be a very good AntiVirus.
I think what Bill means is...
"I played around with it a bit, but it's just another browser and IE [Microsoft's Internet Explorer is better...at downloading malware, spyware, viruses, and leaving your machine gapping open to the world."

Hmmmm... *runs to pornsites*
How is that redundant? Its the first time its been asked on this story. Meanies!
FreeiMacs.com go up?

Don't forget, rechargeable shields belong to Marathon.
Then again, there were dolphins, sharks, and all those other animals that predate all of it. I guess God wins. lol
You sound like a QuakeHead.

Pikace, I suggest that you inform yourself better before making that kind of statement.

Yeah we have to do something with that time we have not running antivirus, antispyware, and other maintenance tools.

Bill: Damnit how long does it take to download the Tiger beta!?
*Bill scowls while looking over Apple's website*
Bill: We must hurry, it will take us surely a year to figure out how to create WinFS.
