[quote]In either case, we plan to start making public to those interested in seeing the sausage factory that is game development our internal bug reports.[/quote] Whether I'm involved in alpha or not, this sounds like it will be a good read. Those not chosen for alpha ascension should feel somewhat participatory in the process when these reports are made public.
You don't need to be a rocket surgeon to know that if it's got cactuses in it, it's a desert. Maybe there are deserts without cactuses. That's fine, but let's count the number of people that care. Done. Either way, those so-called deserts would have no place in either a video game, or a Sergio Leone festival. Just so you know.
[quote who="The__Goo" reply="17" id="2287533"] Er....that'll be 9 in every 10 ... correction 9.63% which we could round to 10% would actaully be 1 of 10... If i said 96.3% then you would be correct... i will let it slide this time. right back at'chya [/quote] What you wrote reads like 1 out of 10 are macs, so 1 out of 10 are windows. That didn't make sense. Jafo's correction made sense. Just
You can make alcohol and hallucinogenic drugs from bits o' cactus. From your post, I'm pretty sure you already know this though.
[quote who="Tridus" reply="23" id="2285579"] I dunno why people see that as a big deal, though. Diablo 1 and Starcraft both had ads in the battle.net lobby. Most of them were ads for other Blizzard stuff, but not all of them. Nobody really much cared.[/quote] I said, "In-game advertising" - that's what the press release says, and it's what Massive specializes in. I didn't say boilerplate square ads at the launch pad or lobby like what you get now. In-ga
It's not as a dramatic a reason as "preventing piracy" but I still say the reason you're going to be forced to use Battle.net for any multiplayer is due primarily to the in-game advertising deal. That's where the money is at, not piracy prevention (hahahaha).

You didn't provide a compelling argument - and drew unsupported conclusions based on opinion, as if it were fact. This isn't a flame, this is just how I read your words. Here is one example: Because the AI in the game is rather easily beaten at this time, playing a match against them results in an easy victory... That assumes you are only playing against bots as in 1 v bots pantheon or skirmish match. I'm certain there are 
[quote who="chevelleking" reply="5" id="2283601"]I wouldn't be surprised if B.net 2.0 is a small fee per month, no LAN, forcing people to play on thier network, just invested massive amounts of time to overhaul it adding nice features, need some other cash cow to compare to WoW anyway.[/quote] While a monthly fee is a possibility, I think you'll find the truth about the 'lucrative cash cow' was already announced and written up last December 2008, when Activision (Blizzard) and Mi

My OEM Vista Ultimate DVD had both 32/64 versions, selectable at first power-on of the laptop that came with it. I'd expect similar from Win7. But since I've not been as active in tracking Win7 development as I had been with prior OS releases (I installed some beta months ago, but used it for about 11 minutes), I am intently curious to know if the only differences between Ultimate and Pro versions are what's indicated in the product comparision ch
I held off on responding after folks started posting how-tos, since you'd previously indicated you weren't confident about ensuring your system was clear. TW: You're still at square one. If you're not comfortable clearing the system prior to backing up, I stand by my original advice. It is probably better to learn about how to clear a virus and prevent data loss when you are not currently at-risk. Also, that post and link to the suspect U3/flash drive AV software s
[quote]No, I can't feel confident that I can clean the system, LOL.[/quote] I think that gives you your answer. If the data (photos, in your case) are important and ultimately cannot be replaced, then it's probably 50 bucks well-spent. Hopefully, they know what they're doing and you will come out of this with your stuff intact.
[quote]m still confused what you're trying to say about server-defining, though.[/quote] When you go looking for a game, you may set some criteria in your own mind about what you want. Things like map, # of players, ping, whatever. These are things that define a server or the rules and limits of the server. So when you add new options that describe the rules or features of a server, that's what I'm thinking about when I used the term "server-defining". Some fea
It's easiest for a anyone responding to this topic to say, "Yes have that other person do it." because it absolves a responder here of any guilty feelings that might come up if you or they bork the job and you lose your important data/files/photos. But the real answer is that you need to determine this for yourself, because you know whether or not you can ascertain your system/files are clean *before* migrating the files to your external HD. If you cannot do t
I'm on the fence about the all favor items on proposal. I would probably want to try it just to play with different items more readily. But beyond testing, I don't think I'd want the feature for 'real' gameplay. But I do want to suggest that "More options is always better" is not always the case. The proposed option is a risky one because it's not just any old option - it's an option that defines a server. Having too many subsets of server types carries the ris

[quote who="kajexdraw" reply="12" id="2276410"]Since this topic is worthless, why even bother returning to this thread? Good luck with becoming an actual moderator -until then we'll have to put up with your arrogant mini-modding.[/quote] It shows up as a subscribed topic, and I'm not aware of how to remove it from the new posts in My Replies listing.

It wasn't an interesting enough topic for two bumps within 8 minutes of the original post to fish for a response. But since you're trawling, I'll come trolling: No, I don't like invasive DRM. I speak with my wallet as well. The only game I'm tracking that uses Tages is X3: Reunion (Edit: I meant X3: Terran Conflict. X3: Reunion was already released sans DRM. Thank you, Egosoft). Egosoft historically re-releases a DRM-free package sometime around a y

This topic is probably being ignored because it is worthless. It is worthless because it ignores the existence of the other topic that I linked (above) - the one from Stardock that provides both setup/troubleshooting steps as well as requests very specific information that you need to provide if you are still having issues. Good luck with your bumps.
Alrighty, Zubaz, Yes I'll stop going off on a tangent within the topic, but lemme 'splain before it gets locked: You see, someone says, "Punishing all for the sins of one is not cool..." And I think to myself, "Self, that sounds a lot like the concept of Original Sin and similar concepts found within several world religions. Oh, and also forms the basis of 'group punishment' found in the basic training programs of several military organizations."
I bet you're not Catholic.

QoT makes my game lag slightly more. Yes, I'm pretty sure it's a DG-specific issue. Maybe my PC is borderline on performance, and the extra jiggly sprites on QoT push it over the edge. But OP? lol.

[quote who="MrBoingy" reply="10" id="2269774"]Why would it fail? Let the system kick you without losing any points. It means that u don't waste time playing a game with an unequal number of players.
