I had a concept for a game , it was kind of like a massive RPG. in the spirit of elite , but with planet sections (which would work kind of like morrowind , daggerfal etc) you could buy new ships and fly them around wing commander style and fly to difrent worlds and get jobs,And you could eventualy buy your own world and start to produce things managed in a sim city kind of way where you build it up and can have custom garages for your space ships and a trophy hall. In the game would be a games console for which you could buy mini games to play on it in your house/home planet/fortress ship or whatever . a kind of freeform RPG with space battles , world building and Galactic domination. It would have to be on a scale unseen since the days of elite... You could get loads of difrent jobs etc well thats just me it may be a little tricky
I like to keep the trouser python hiden untill special occasion, like being extremly drunk... Seriously though , i don't want people looking at me naked . If they want to see me naked then they can pay not me having to pay for the privilidge of having my privacy absued just for a short trip
The human in me thinks this is a twisted invasion of privacy , the man side thinks woo naked chicks sweet job. However the human side wins out here , this is totaly unacceptable . they will have to have seperat entrances for men and woman as people are uncomfy with a member of th oposite sex seeing them in the all together(not everyone mind you).I know its wrong and a body is just a body but that is still not a belive that everyone shares and people have issues about this. If i want sweaty security gaurds seeing me in the buff i will get a website for it , I don't want to have this foist upon me by over zelous national security.

This is one of those times when someone mistook the word flamebait for the word Truth. Looks like you got moderated by a tool;) The industry is moving towards a near completly services based industry in several sectors. Support revenue is the way of the future for software producers and its high time some people started to realise this. OSS is the enzyme thats pushing us towards that quicker than we would have previously (speeding up the eveloution) goten there. It will hapen and it would have happend without it,. Computing is going to be as much as an integral part of all peoples lives as the telephone is today and in that kind of atmosphere there is alot of money to be made in support and services, people will need their computers more and more for everyday things (its nearly there already) and wont be willing to spend thousands on software each year
PCs i use for things other than games mainly (although i do play sim city 4 a bit on my mac) , I have my consoles for games They are cheaper than alot of graphics cards.I dont want to buy windows either as its about the same price as a console just to get alot of games to work (those i cant get on linux or mac(
Well considering that security alert recently about the problenms with hyperthreading , and given the fact that the chip is duel core anyway which greatly reduces the need for hyperthreading i don't really see it as too much of a loss and quite possibly its an advantage.
I really enjoyed the birds (i also like Groundhog day , but i would swap that with Scrooged just to confuse eyeryone) I guess like most of hitchcocks works they are very much of their time and don't always work so well today.;) comming to think about it actually every horror i have seen has really not managed to scare me , I mean i thought the exorcist was a riot.I just coldn't take a movie with Cross mastubwaaation and head spining seriously (remember reposesed , lesslie neilson spoof )
Now i know there has been alot of prequal hype of late and sequels are very unhip. for the love of god though there are some real gems in the books/comics set after the origional trillogy , Dark empire for example , the reformation of the jedis and so on... Perhaps a movie where you don't know whats going to hapen(unless you read the books) would be a little more exciting than another bleeding prequal , though yoda doing some cool jedi tricks would be cool
Spaceballs , young frankenstein andblazing saddles all deserve recognition. Why the hell is chinatown on the list...The fly also is not a top 100, Its sacralidge to not include the blues brothers. The shawshank redemption is missing , paper moon is missing , whisky galore is missing,Return of the jedi and The empire strikes back are cruely absent. The taking of the pelham 1-2-3 is not there nor is the french conection. Ive decided i really don't respect this top 100 that much. Well atleast Brazil and Blade runner made this list. This is perhaps a top 100 for cinema artisans , but it really is not a top 100 films for anyone else... Wait come to think of it where in the hell is "the birds " on that list
The DHS can verrily go spin on it . The founding fathers penned the constituation of the USA for one reason , and that was to ensure the libertys of its citizens. Yet of recent times the Gouvernment has sought ammendmant after ammendmant to spite that vision. It was a vision of true freedom.What do laws that make the theft of ideas and works into criminal cases bring you but the missery and suffering of its peoples and the glory of the Industry. I am not saying people should be allowed to break laws when it suits them , but there needs to be reason and logic to the laws that defend the rights of the individuals and the peoples as opposed to the big industry funded laws of today. These sites should most likely be shut down , but that is it.
In scope yes , but I doubt anyone outside the industry would see it that way. Im not suporting the violation , I just think criminal convictions are are OTT.
well xenon is an inert gas;) which is kind of apt for procesor hype. There all as bad for trying to drum up hype with daft names , sony just didit in a style more beffiting of japanese culture. I do like apples name schemata of late g3 -g4 -g5 (g = generation i belive) which is rather apt. I actualy prefer sonys style , its less marketing madness to me. for example i can see in a rather dilbert esque was intels marketing department comming out with "How about pentium , its a mix of penthouse , premium , penta and yadda yadda now cna you have it done by next thursday to beat nirvana corps launch of hexium"
Since when it is the job of the Gouvernment to enforce civil cases outside of a court of (civil)law, You may or may not agree with the copyright violations , but i don't really see how anyone can justify this being handeld by criminal actions , Civil violations are not criminal. Give me liberty or give me death.
The N-gage didn't fail because it was an all in one , the reason it failed was because it was Designed poorly , didn't do the things it was ment to rather well , had a very silly screen , was a very uncomfertable phone .
It is fairly harsh actualy,(though if you get a good gig you can make a fair few grand ) unless you get a role like that of a long time actor on the simpsons (100,000 per eppisode). Actualy im lying , most of us have other jobs and getting a couple of grand for 2 days work is really rather sweet , though if its all you do then you may have a fair few problems making ends meet.;) blooper reels are not acidental btw , its overtime
Have you ever played the game Nox by westwood studios , If you think SOCOM is bad then imagin that mixed with a dose of direction by Phantom menace era lucas with sprinklings of parmasan and Gouda
"Tell me what an emotion engine is" Something along the lines of an Athalon , a Xeon , a xenon,a z80 , a pentium They all do have really silly names when you think about it
The problem with a celebrity is with alot of them you dont think wow *Charichter* is acted well , you think wow thats *celebrity* doing *charichter . You can still lose alot of the imerrsion. Now i know alot of actors are great at voice work and can make you forget they are *celebrity* and just *charichter* but alot are not.
If you have a no-name with tallent then your gaurenteed to have immersion if they are cast well.
Fud can be misquoted or twisted truth , for example. If a man saves two from a burning building it could be twisted to "Man breaks into house and abducts ocupants"
So many games fall short in the audio department because they decide that its resonible to skimp on the VO work . Now I am not suggesting they pay the outrageous union prices (Alot of us who do VO work and are non union will do it for a hell of alot less) , but they need to properly audition and not just throw the janitor on at the last minute(though some games luck out with asigning staff parts , DMA(now rock star north) infact used their marketing manager for one of the DJs on GTA3. They need to take care not to taint their work with shoody poorly acted cheese ala Anime Dubbings. A game can be a work of art , but if you just shove on bob from marketing who sounds like a squeaking rabbit as the all Macho one man army charichter then it can really blow the immersion.
So please please if your making a game that requires acting then please atleast audition properly and take care , there are plenty of younger actors and non union folks willing to work and hard just for the love of it (but we do prefer cash;) ).
I belive the limit is rather high nowadays , I cant remember exactly but i belive they will outlive the average laptop HDD if you dont shove your swapfile on it. last time i checked they had it over 1,000,000 write/erase cycles but i assume that has gone up if they are marketing it for a system drive
