I trust the average joe to pick good music about as much as I trust my toaster oven to provide company while I'm in the bath. The term good is subjective and useless.

[quote who="twifightDG" reply="144" id="2353909"]For music I'm thinking cut out the middle man almost entirely. Now employees in the music business will argue that record lables are needed to pay for recording and marketing. While that may be true, if you cut them out what will remain are bands with nothing, except potential to grow. What is the positive side to all this? Only bands that are truly good get the mouth-to-mouth PR they need to grow, expand, become known world-wide (and filthy ri

I disagree with the favor point system the same way I disagree with CoD's levelup system: in a multiplayer-centric game, it puts a new player at a disadvantage, as if he didn't have one already by being new.

Reply to Demigod: End of August FAQ in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

A: Ping spikes are almost always due to someone in a given game not having enough upload speed. Even more specifically, it’s almost always some DSL user in Europe who gets 600kb/sec downloads but some tiny number uploaded. Beyond re-designing the MP for the game, there’s no real solution other than for those users to try to avoid games with too many players. We plan to develop tools for Elemental

Q: Has there been any progress on the ping-spiking issue detailed here (http://forums.demigodthegame.com/352593). A small portion of the player base (including myself) have put Demigod on hold, as we cannot play games with more than X (where x is a number between 4 and 8, with the median being 4) players in them, despite solid connections. Many of us have tested the game with worse connections in another area and the same ISP, and had no trouble running the game. <blockq

I cannot work out a way one could possibly and legitamately defend piracy... However, with all the anti-modding business going on, I have to say that once you own a copy of your game (or system), whatever you do with it (barring distribution) should be your own personal business. The exception is, of course, mods that enable you to use pirated software.

I'm going to have to agree with Jafo, there really is no excuse for software piracy. People do sell copies of their shows on DVD you know.

This wasn't a typical Hollywood 'thing' aimed at the lowest common denominator...a male, teen-something white kid from middle America.... it actually require a wee bit of intelligence.

I think the important thing to remember is that while the Daily Show is definitely funny, you can't trust it for unbiased information any more than MSNBC or Fox News. But hell, I watch him for laughs, and he usually gives me what I watch for.

I'm afraid the reaction may have been in part by the fact that my quote on the next statement did not function properly (in fact, it didn't come out as a quote at all), so the paragraph looks like a mess. I have since PM'ed a Stardock employee with the hope of better sorting this out. Cheers!

It seems that low upload bandwidth users cause the majority of the lag issues. These users do fine in 2v2, and sometimes 3v3, but fail horribly in 4v4 matchups. Could proxy connections be used to split a packet multiple ways, so that the user only has to upload one set of information, which the proxy would then duplicate to all of the players in the game? Actually, low upload bandwidth isn't the problem. Proxies have been tested with this glitch, and do not solve the problem. Switching to
