  1. Re:Slightly Off-Topic: Grim Fandango on LucasArts announces Sam & Max sequel · · Score: 1

    No there isn't.

    This was the game that started the whole 3D console navigation adventure thing. I love Grim Fandango, but damn those controls

  2. Re:The million $ question... on LucasArts announces Sam & Max sequel · · Score: 1

    Why a risk? It's an adventure game. These things look better in 2D if you ask me. I mean, come on, look at the low poly characters in Monkey Island 4. Sprites look a lot better than those chunky soulless things. And those controls...

    Not that I'm totally against it, in Grim Fandango it was nice because it fit the whole thing (except those pesky arcade style controls).
    But why do they keep on doing all of them in 3D? Is it because most people just won't buy a 2D game? These people probaly don't play adventure games anyway...
    ah well, why am I bitchin', there are 2 new adventure games on their way! yipee!

  3. Re:Download management. on KDE 3.1 Beta Released · · Score: 1

    Mozilla 1.1 and Konqueror in KDE 3.1 will both have a download manager.

  4. KGX on Interview With Andreas Pour of KDE · · Score: 1

    I think I'll have to give *BSD a try.
    That way I can call my system KGB instead.

  5. Re:Don't even have to do a reinstall on The Day The Music Died: Windows Media and DRM · · Score: 1

    I actually think it was a joke (then/than, grammer, grammar). Not that I'm defending him or anything. I could care less about spelling.

  6. Re:Super on Peek Into European Patent Examining Cancelled · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    blah blah blah... are you done?

  7. Re:Big whoop. on Gamespy Installer Spreads Nimda · · Score: 1

    Oh no, the users have to download a free virus scanner like AVG to remove it.

    Unless you're from Europe of course.

  8. Sewers... on Spelunking in Las Vegas · · Score: 1

    I remember how I always wanted to go adventuring in the sewers as a kid. But I think we only got the small kinds here... it definently look crammed down there. I want big sewers too!

  9. Re:we geeks might make a better impression... on Lucas Confuses ScummVM With Abandonware · · Score: 1

    Uhm.. yeah, may I remind you that they have done NOTHING wrong? So why the need to go over spelling and grammar?

    And what kind of judge would that be?

    Judge: "Lemme see here... you can't spell so I won't even bother to look at the evidence... guilty! Case closed!"

  10. Re:Doubtful on Lucas Confuses ScummVM With Abandonware · · Score: 1

    Heh... they did, you know.
    It's called Escape From Monkey Island.
    And a 2D one before that. No AI NPC's though.

  11. And the next step... on The Ideas Behind Longhorn · · Score: 1

    First they track all your habbits, then with a little prediction...

    "We're putting you under arrest for the future crime of software piracy".

  12. Re:RC code name on Gnome 2.0 RC2 Asks For Abuse · · Score: 1

    I know, but in his the first sentence he applauds discrimination (anti-multicultural).

  13. Re:RC code name on Gnome 2.0 RC2 Asks For Abuse · · Score: 1

    Oh great, we have fucking racist here too.

    "I applaud the wise anti-"multicultural" policies"
    "I'm white, thus I'm discriminated against"

    How does that go together?
    You applaud discrimination of black people and then you bitch about being discriminated because you're white?

    I always wondered how a racists mind work. Does it make sence to you or do you have a big internal conflict going on?

    Strange how you trolls always get your disgusting views into every thread.

  14. Re:Who cares? on Andreessen on the Browser Wars · · Score: 1

    "If you're a web developer, why do you care about anything but IE? Everybody has it. Unless your site is about *nix, you want people to see your site."

    No, unless my site is about windows specific stuff, why would I target IE only? Many things on a webpage has nothing to do with the computer platform being used what so ever.

    Anyway, as long as you follow a standard who cares about what browser people are using, that's the whole point right?

  15. Re:I wonder... on Unofficial GBA SDK Available for Free · · Score: 1

    Or use affine texture mapping... which looks like crap, oh well.
    Don't know if it could pull that off either.

  16. Re:Remember kids... on Lucas Restricts Fan-Made Films To Documentaries, Parodies · · Score: 1

    True, but lame rip offs or not, Star Wars is still Star Wars.

  17. Re:Remember kids... on Lucas Restricts Fan-Made Films To Documentaries, Parodies · · Score: 1

    Yeah it's his story and characters, and so fucking what? What will he loose with people using his characters? Why are people always so paranoid and over protected of their ideas.

    Please! You can't own ideas it's as simple as that.

  18. Re:Not necessarily a good idea on Open Source And The Obligation To Recycle · · Score: 1

    I remember Impulse giving away older versions of Imagine when a new version was released. Not open source though.

  19. Re:Open Source Space Quest 1 origanal. on Open Source And The Obligation To Recycle · · Score: 1

    I always found it peculiar that Sierra called their old adeventure games 3D. "Look, you can walk behind things, it's 3D!".

  20. Re:Why bother? on Hurd: H2 CD Images · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't now anything about Hurd but one reason could be that some people (including myself) do care more about the underlying philosophy than if something "just works".

  21. Re:Why? on Hurd: H2 CD Images · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, it couldn't Hurd... BADABING!

  22. Re:Metric Revolution on Megabytes (MB) or Mebibytes (MiB)? · · Score: 1

    4294967296 - 4000000000 = 294.967.296
    and lose almost 300 Mebibyts? No thanks.

  23. Re:Merry Christmas to all Programmers on Quake 2 Source Code Released Under The GPL · · Score: 1

    And that's bad exactly how?

  24. Re:Goody Goody on Mozilla 0.9.7 Released! · · Score: 1

    On the internet the world is your neighborhood.

  25. Re:What's the point? on Kernel 2.4.17 Out · · Score: 1

    I think it's probaly confusing when you use only one point:
    0.9, 0.10
    because we're used to reading that like a decimal number.

    But when you have two points:
    0.9.0 0.10.0
    I think it's more obvious.
