  1. Re:Umm, some more basic changes... on Dvorak on Our Modern World · · Score: 0

    Is english a second language for you or something? There were a lot of really, really weird spelling errors in there (not the kind you get by simply mistyping a word).

    Like I said, acrylic buttons, they'll break after a month. And the bar isn't counterbalanced (if thats the one you are referring to). Link to the redoctane rusty metal photos?

    I noticed one of the options was to save it as .csv - while .xls is commonly associated with excel, where does the .csv file format come from?

    does not come with multiplayer
    When I preordered it, I got the multiplayer addon for Half Life: Source (not hl2, the source port of HL1).
    I have to wait an additional year from when I first start the gameto when I am actually allowed to complete it.
    To do it in a non-episodic fashion would not make it come out faster - rather, you'd get the whole game at the end of the production time for all three parts, as opposed to being able to play it throughout the year. That alone I consider worth the couple extra dollars.
    reusing textures, prefabs, characters, sounds, AI and the graphics engine from HL2
    I somehow doubt the game would be "improved" with all-new models or textures - why does this matter to you?

    And, as I (and others in this discussion most likely) have said, it's not that good (though I would assume that model did not have the acrylic button problems of others).

    As it says in the article, yes.

    Solid? Not really. The metal dance pads they sell at lik sang use acrylic buttons, which have been shown to crack after any extensive use. For metal pads, I'd go to Red Octane or Cobalt Flux

    In no way was it necessary to post that piece of shit comic.

    Get the Soap. Dumb. No text, sub- or otherwise, to indicate why the kids think washing gets rid of viruses and spyware.

    I think the fact that they are children make it pretty self explanatory - the childlike misinterpretation of their father's comments of "cleaning" the junk off their computer should make the commercial understood by anyone remotely familiar with spyware, viruses, and children.

    Much better than making you choose between wmv/quicktime/realplayer imo - I'm able to view these in our linux lab when I'm taking a break from whatever cs stuff I might be working on.

  15. Re:No sniping? on God of War, Counter-Strike, 360 Design at GDC · · Score: 1

    That's the most painfully generic comment I have ever seen. It explains nothing; it merely reiterates the original article in general, and focuses nothing on my question.
    Were you aiming for a different post to reply to, and somehow hit mine?

    Pretty sure that the Red Orchestra ut2004 mod (and now standalone game) have this as well.

  17. No sniping? on God of War, Counter-Strike, 360 Design at GDC · · Score: 1

    From the CS Neo article:
    Hiding and sniping are no-nos
    I'm confused as to why they would include the sniper rifles (as seen in the original picture) if they didn't want you to use them as originally intended.

    I'm not sure what you mean by having it shoved way over - is your left arm coming out of your chest?

    Then take a few out at once, review, and return accordingly. Why should it matter if they think you are a "demon customer"; this is their fucking job. If you aren't acting like a dick about the whole situation, then they shouldn't have anything to complain about.

    If this seriously becomes a problem, there are other places that put the games in more accesible containers. If you are still having problems, maybe you should ask for help; while Walmart may not be renowned for their knowledgable staff in the electronics department, there should be at least one who has some sense in him or herself. Thats the case at my local Walmart, and many others that I have visited.

    Not being able to make a good choice for your child because of a piece of easily-bypassed glass is just lazy, and one of the poorest excuses I have heard in a while.

    its the exact same response they gave for their release date of ut2004.
    though of course there was also the "two weeks" fiasco for the ut2004 demo (god that was ridiculous). hopefully that won't be making a return.
