  1. Re:indie or just small scale on Game Tunnel's Indie Games of the Year 2006 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Do you sell indie games? Because this doesnt sound like the voice of experience.

    When youre selling indie, you distribute (really market, you may only have 1 place that handles the CC transactions which is the true distribution point, but they promote affiliation generally) through EVERYONE you can, even places that take 30% of your sales usually, because even if only 5 people buy your game from that site you still made 5*70% of what you're asking that you likely would not have made selling it only on your own site.

    So that means you push info about your game everywhere, allow everyone to sell it for you that you can, making it pretty much 100% sure that a site like Game Tunnel will be able to have an affiliate link to somewhere that sells your game.

    Will Game Tunnel reject games that they cant affiliate? Why dont you ask them or post that as their listed requirements instead of making a guess.

    Game Tunnel also reviews freeware games, so it sounds to me like your guess is wrong.

  2. Re:A step backward on Are Vertical Mice The Next Ergonomic Trend? · · Score: 1

    Ive used the Evoluent mouse for 2 years, and I found it did help my hands over normal meeses.

    I usually just rest my hand on the mouse itself, its all contoured and stuff for exactly that.

  3. Re:Keeping promised bandwidth on Is Verizon a Network Hog? · · Score: 1

    Recently there was an article (about a new ebook) that talks about how the telcos have ripped people off, because they promised and got money/tax breaks for delivering 45 mbs to everyone in the country. I assume this is true since I didnt read any points to the contrary with all the press about it, but havent researched it myself. Anyway, this hoarding of bandwidth then changes meaning from "theyre doing what they want with their property" to "theyre doing what they want with property/service they were already paid for by other people, and are not delivering".
