[quote]This topic and thread is filled with the mad rantings of racial and socio-economic class prejudice[/quote] I disagree. I mean, when we refer to trailer trash, it's not a bash on socio-economic status at all. It's the trailers we're bashing. I mean if we didn't have trailers, we wouldn't have trailer trash. And besides, when there are tornadoes, trailers kill people.

[quote]Another thing that pisses me off severely... all these high and mighty snob types who wish to appear better educated than the rest of us and use a foreign language [often French] to describe their feelings or an attitude toward something way up there, fantastic and/or beautiful. Like WTF is that all about? I mean, what's wrong with "Oi, that's bleedin' good, init"??? No need for a plum in the mouth there, and it's direct and to the point.[/quote]

Dern it, now you're having to make me form a new complaint. Okay.... Why does the media feel compelled to let us know all about Kim Kardashian's divorce? Do we really care? Okay, so they fought like cats & dogs negotiating the prenup and it was obvious they should not have gotten married in the first place. So, a couple people were stupid and got a divorce? Boy, that's never happened before.&nbs
#767 Why can't Halloween trick-or-treaters come looking for fruit, nuts, and trail mix? That way when I buy Halloween stuff and not quite enough trick-or-treaters come over, I'm not stuck with 5 packs of candy I have to eat.

Or no...she should be cast as the main character in the next King's Bounty series, as Princess Amelie's jealous sister. So basically take a bunch of pictures with her wearing armor and a shield, and then in the game after your Stardock friend liberates some other planet somewhere from the evil Archdemon 9 stories tall, the final boss battle is a barehanded mud wrestling fight with Princess Amelie. Brilliant, if I say so myself! Stardock should
[quote] Linux evangelists tried to woo people away from Windows for years with very similar lines about how the control Microsoft had over your computer was scary and evil and bad. Unfortunately the overwhelming majority don't care. They want something that works. Steam works. As of yet, nobody has an alternative that works better in the ways that users actually care about.[/quote] I think with Linux the game is the OS itself. I don't
Has she ever considered doing cutscenes for the Command & Conquer campaigns? I'd buy it. :)

Are you a guy? That's not a tail.
I've played every C&C campaign, and I didn't find Tiberian Sun particularly memorable. But then, I tend to remember the C&C campaigns according to how hot the chics are in the cutscenes. :)
I like campaigns, though I understand how that can be up to the individual gaming companies. I mean, naturally I do not like Dark Avatar's campaign. It had the makings of being really good, and just a little more polish would have made it really good. Stardock needed somebody with a heart for the campaign. Starcraft II's campaign was one of the best I've ever played. Utter Darkness is my favorite battle within it. I te

I have to disagree on the Intel part. Intel is hardly a competitor to Apple. There was a day they were, but...not now, and not just because of iMacs switching to x86. Intel has their own fabs, and Apple is looking to Intel to help fab their iPad chips, if they are not already. Intel is innovating in their own right, though not in the same spaces as Apple and not in ways the average consumer understands. Intel's pioneering the FINFET technology, wh
[quote]My favorite RoN campaign was the Cold War. [/quote] That's what everybody says, but I actually liked Napoleon campaign better. I liked all the diplomacy, and playing your cards right. I had to bump up the difficulty, though. Alexander the Great campaign was the toughest, but really I thought that was because people probably play that first, when they should be playing it last. I put it off till last and didn't have that hard a time of it when I d

Star Wars Galaxies + World of Warcraft w/ add-ons. Wear a Stormtrooper Helmet, mithril breastplate and wield a plasma rifle in your right hand and an Axe of the Dwarven King in your left. We did this to success on a MUD before, where different wizards coded very different castles and we mixed it all together. It was fun!

[quote] But -- in general -- writing APIs that allow the AI to easily get as much useful information so that the AI programmer can easily put together strategies is crucial.[/quote] Actually, this is the part I'm more interested in: how to go about writing an API?

I love the opening episode of the original BSG, and I especially love the orchestral theme. But once it gets into the series itself, it sinks into some common cheesy storylines of the time. You know, like 2 people are going to infiltrate the enemy installation and evade the guards, but even when they get discovered they take on everybody in the installation and win. Or one of the main characters falls in love with an extra on the cast, but they part ways at the end of the 30
I don't really understand the pie thing, but games were out in force well before the late 80's, and that includes epically long SP games. I lost a couple summers to Wizardry. The Ultima series was the same way. Eamon was out in the 70's, and the only reason that wasn't bigger was only because computers were so expensive and there weren't more people owning them.
I remember back in the 90's when thin clients were going to replace the PC. 20 years later, I tend to think they were wrong.
