Um.. just to clarify... AvP was not originally a video game.
It started out as a comic book/graphic novel, became a video game, and was finally done as a movie.
So, it would fit more under comic book -> movie than the video game adaptation genre.
But I must say, all of those iterations were at least somewhat enjoyable.
IMO, the OSS community could use more people like this guy.
Yeah. That's my opinion on the matter.
Yes, interface and appearance are important, but functionality and actual improvements on programs do need some attention. Myself, I currently couldn't program my way out of a wet paper sack. I am learning (a lot...yay Gentoo.;) ) though. Those of us that don't know much as far as that can at least do as much as bug reports (responsible ones, not "I used all the optimilizations and now nothing works *waaaah*" or "My finger itches when I right click my desktop") or perhaps give suggestions as to a programs future functionality. Personally, I wouldn't mind if everything was in Motif and grey; as long as it did what was necessary. Things like drivers are, sadly, scarce for people who are stuck with things like Lexmark printers, etc. Focus does need to be put on that kind of stuff.
Anyhoo... yeah. Long time reader, first time poster.
Hi.

Heh. My senior-year English teacher actually played the Iron Maiden version of Rime when we were going over it.
Made the class a lot more interesting.
No, their poop doesn't stink. ;)
Or at least that's what they would have you believe.

If a meme is crushed in a forest, and noone is there to hear it, does it make a sound?
Yeah... they got me too.
Not that I mind much, though.
Kinda glad of it, actually.
I, for one, welcome our new micro-handed overlords.
...Lets give a small hand for 'em....
Ugh.. punny.
