  1. Re:Vista DirectX OpenGL Wrapper on Vista's Graphics To Be Moved Out of the Kernel · · Score: 0

    Slightly incorrect, id just ported DirectX to Linux and OS X speciffically for Doom 3 and Quake 4

  2. Re:Your arm/hands are going to get tired. on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 1

    Yay, your right (or left depending on which you use) hand will get more exersize than the other. You'll have one muscular arm, and a gimpy one, chicks dig that :P ("What's he been doing with that arm?" she may ask.) :D

    Why that didn't get modded as funny is beyond me.

    And you probably play Quake 3 on Linux, and define that as your "best fps ever". (nothing wrong with that. I'm posting from my Debian Sarge machine :P) Must have somthing with the MS = teh evil.

    Halo 2 is insanley fun to play, and designes well for console multiplayer playing. I'd like to know your reasoning as to why it's crap.

    You forgot one.

  6. Sony, Everquest 2 and Katrina on Katrina Hits the Gaming World · · Score: 1

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4208038.stm

    EQ2 players can donate money in game, and SOE has suspended billing for 13,000 accounts from the effected areas untill their players can get back into playing again.

  7. Re:counterweight? .. or easier target? on Adobe and Macromedia Shareholders Approve Merger · · Score: 1

    Who the hell wants to write TeX?

    PDF has a grip, because Adobe and Quark have a grip on the publishing industry. It's along the same lines as to why most home computer users run Windows, because it's been around, and peopple are used to it.

  8. Re:What worth after 6 years? on Quake 3 Source Code to be Released · · Score: 1

    It might be because they have a new showy engine to sell. And by releasing the source code, id's allowing the community to improve upon the engine. If Tenebrae can be made out of the Quake 1 engine, imagine what could be done with Quake3?

  9. Re:This is getting out of hand! on Massive Inc. Advertising Takes Off · · Score: 2, Informative

    Coming from a person who happens to work at a movie theater, I can say, that without the advertising, the overpriced snacks and the trailers, you wouldn't have a theater to watch movies at.

    At my theater, the cost of two adult tickets would be $18, coupled with the #2 combo (2 medium drinks and a medium popcorn) for $11.75, just over $20 sounds like a bargain! Movie theaters are expensive to run, and unless they have snacks, at high prices, and advertising to get people to buy said snacks, they would go out of buisness.

    Here is an article that explains it fairly well. When you go to a movie, you are going to a candy store, that just happens to be showing movies.

  10. Re:Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics on A Portrait of the UK Game Pirate · · Score: 1

    That was 5 years ago, computer prices have fallen drastically since then. I can almost garuntee that the percentage of homes without computers in the US is much smaller than that now. Who needs broadmand to install a game that a friend of yours has, then download a small crack to play it without the disk? I'm not sure about the UK, but I'd think that a fair amunt of homes would have computers as well.

  11. Re:Need more apps on Desktop Linux Mass Migration · · Score: 1

    So, how do you controll the blocks in this tetris game?

    Very usefull by the way, it'd be even moreso if I could move the blocks!

  12. Re:FTA on Prey To Be Digitally Distributed · · Score: 1

    I don't know, I've played streaming games (Serious Sam Demo). It was a couple years ago, but it worked supprisingly well.
