Confirmed by Moffat to be just this season, which is probably tight in terms of content. We shall get more technicolor Dalek stuff.
I wasn't a proper fan of the series until the revival, yet I watched enough of the old series to want to follow that revival when it was aired. I dunno, some people complains, but I really really like the revival. And....I kind of prefer the Daleks from before the "last paradigm" but just because the armor is more detailed. I feel rather satisfied with the modern Dalek overall (they can't be defeated by stairs!).
I am a raging fan of Doom (which I keep playing via source ports to this date), and this is a great experiment, however...the sound is abysmal, and I am too used to modern controls to go back to arrow keys:P The FPS was OK for me, 20-30, but the sounds....sounded like...flatulence and a 2yo kid with very deep voice being recorded right next to the microphone.
Doom is not terribly complex by modern standards, but the browser struggles to get it moving (probably because of video rendering, not sure if webGL can do much about that, probably does help) and uses a lot of memory moving it. However, if this keeps advancing (most probably will) the web will become more interesting to this indie game developer, even if just for the ease of deployment (relatively speaking).
Despite not being so visually good, I have found the recent nettiles mode of Dungeon Crawl to be quite a surprisingly nice web interface to a game. (link : https://tiles.crawl.develz.org/ ) It uses no visible CPU and almost no network power at all in my computer and is very responsive, and is a novel interface to play a roguelike in a shared server (including spectators and messaging) without having to use putty or cope with the ASCII interface.
Is there any directory of comprehensive game-oriented documentation for simple 2D "webgame" development? I am quite intrigued about building a 7DRL for the browser using some cutesy tiles and some core basics like dungeon generator and item generator. Lua is my fetish language but I certainly could try some browser magic.
You are doing it wrong, it's not GZDoom. You just use the keyboard to pick stuff. Use the arrow keys to move, enter (control?) to accept, space to open doors, control to fire.
Don't do it Mozilla. Don't lose your identity. Don't f*ck with users just to copy another browser. Another browser that is popular because of internal stuff rather than interface. Why not copying the GOOD aspects of Chrome? You know, the stuff Chrome fans like to point out, like speed and such.
On the region lock thing, they actually made the 3DS region locked. That console is officially useless unless you live in the US or Japan. Good for the FSF, Nintendo needs a reprimand in form of low sales or high piracy rates, they need to be returned to reality. With a bang.
We got that in Spain. The thing ended up propagating to every multimedia device like photo cameras, HDDs and anything that can use removable memory. (and it's a large price difference!) If you Canadians can stop it, this would be a good moment, before it spreads.
I want my time back, yeah, but I don't really want anyone else to have to live through that in exchange, if that's what you mean. It was painful, it was discouraging, and it was unfair.
What I would ask for, instead, is for at least a little support. I have been healthy for only 4 weeks now, and I don't even know what to do with my life. 5 years of being called liar makes funny things to your head.
Because where I live, I suffered from a crippling disease for 5 years that almost ended up fatally, and going week after week after week to the medic, treated like a liar or an attention whore, coming back home every day without results. Until, finally, after years of calamity, they found what it was. About f*cking time if you ask me, it ended up being a serious intestinal disease combined with a esophagus and a circulatory thing and lots of inconvenient little things.
Please take note of the time. 5 years of my life lost without being able to go out of home and unable to work, socialize or well, just about anything that wasn't being yellowish in color. Because of medics, who could have detected this much earlier, I lost the best years of my life, the ones between young adulthood and proper adulthood. I am like a hermit who just came out of a cave. All because medics didn't want to do a bit of work and do science stuff.
Here, where free healthcare exists, medics are only concerned about getting their taxpayer-founded salary every month, and don't give a crap if the patient dies or not. After seeing medic after medic and having to hear "it must be psychosomatic" for years, I have very little respect for the medical guys.
A medic like the ones described in the article would have saved me 5 years of my life. That's not something trivial.
I installed 11.04, and completed the whole install while playing around with Unity..other than the menu bars requiring more mouse distance to activate, I didn't think it was that bad. Once set to 32x32 icons at the sidebar, it even looked fairly OK. And then I just installed KDE and called it a day. Change KDE for your personal choice there, I don't discriminate.
I don't think it's that BAD, but one month in the oven would have helped it a lot. It's suffering KDE4.0-style negative feedback which will probably doom it as it doomed KDE (or so it seems judging from the negativity towards it).
Anyway, even if it was much worse, it's still an option and I will gladly take my right to have a choice.
Despite owning every other portable Nintendo console, I find no interest on this. Being European, I am NOT buying a region-locked portable. I import stuff from the US and Japan more than picking games off the shelves. Why? Because games don't arrive, or are released when no one else in the world remembers them, or come in 1-2 units per city, or are censored or altered. (I know well that the rare game comes earlier here, but one doesn't compensate for the rest, honestly....and not only Europe, but Australia and other minor markets will have it very bad to obtain some games the legal way, if not impossible).
So I am glad this console is tanking. I hope it goes as bad as the virtual boy, or achieves piracy levels of over 90%.
Idiocy: That way of replying is so bigoted and aggressive that you must be a troll.
It's not that all the bad critics are wrong. They have very valid points only fanbois will dismiss as "silliness" and "invalid criticism". Your "getting it" won't help anyone else unless you are helpful yourself. You just came in to call the other user silly, repeatedly, just because he didn't "get" into the Totalitarian Desktop Experience.
Firefox restarting is not what the other user complained about, he complained about desktops being Artificial Stupidity. "Use Chromium", won't help at all.
...and have tons of pedophile content routed through his computer? That doesn't sound safe. Even if the TOR network is used for more legitimate goals, of which I am aware of, that risk can be too much if your IP happens to be involved in some way.
An old laptop of mine resisted a car collision, but the screen cracked one time it fell ONE FOOT HIGH from the ground (and flat). There is some sort of law in electronics that makes a gentle caress the most common cause of electronics death. You can shot devices with a shotgun and not do as much damage as treating it with care.
Spain? I am spanish and never heard any official entity migrating to linux. In fact all web services require IE..SIX, that damn dinosaur, to operate properly. Requires a virtual machine or a very out-of-date windows to use. Distribute a document in ODT and you will only get stuff like "your office document was bad! send us a new one!" (or a silent denial of whatever service required the document)
Just ~30 years ago my country was deep in a tyranny. Voicing anything negative against The General could mean your death. I guess I know what I talk about.
Lesson #1: Never, ever, get into anything related to bashing politicians. It's a free way to disaster. I'd go as far as to say "Never voice your political opinions", except maybe with your family and close friends.
Interesting theory, but unfortunately not true. Also you are reducing the opinion of a group to just me. Why? It's much simpler than your text block with insulting theories: the genres we enjoy aren't developed anymore by most companies, only by the indie crowd.

Child? You call those virtual plastic-y goddesses of bounce physics CHILDREN?
What is becoming of this world...?

Why not copying the GOOD aspects of Chrome? You know, the stuff Chrome fans like to point out, like speed and such.
I hope firefox doesn't go copying the Chrome interface further, removing the address bar as well...
Is there video/audio footage of this? I feel really curious about how this sounds like.
On the region lock thing, they actually made the 3DS region locked. That console is officially useless unless you live in the US or Japan.

For some reason this doesn't sound as threatening as my credit card data or internet history being leaked...
People gets insane without online modes.
No, really, I was shocked to know myself. Now kids go like "single player games suck" and such things.

You can configure that my friend. Just pick a different Qt4 skin!

First notice I have, is this really news or some random rant?
Spain? I am spanish and never heard any official entity migrating to linux. In fact all web services require IE..SIX, that damn dinosaur, to operate properly. Requires a virtual machine or a very out-of-date windows to use.
Distribute a document in ODT and you will only get stuff like "your office document was bad! send us a new one!" (or a silent denial of whatever service required the document)
You mean like in Korea where indie devs have to pay a criminally high fee even if the game is freeware?
