WITHTEETH

Yes, their may be no empirical evidence but if you have faith he will come. In other words hail to the king baby! Neither of those is/was true, to my knowledge. So, yeah. Our deal is simple. We're making the game. It'll be done when it's done. We've funded 99.999% of the game (aside from a very, very small advance from GT Interactive, years ago, before Take 2 bought the game from them). It's our risk, our necks and our gamble. Under the deal we should be earing royalties from about unit 30,000 or so (that's a real small number), so yeah... As for the 500k completion bonus, I don't even know were that came from. Scott would know, but I do know that we never cared or asked for it, and I think it was just tossed in as part of some other agreement. We're certainly not motivated by that amount of money, after all this time, and getting the game right is what matters. I would never ship a game early (even a couple of months), for 500k. It's just very odd to read all this and see facts tossed around, that as far as I know, are completely wrong (at least as stated or interpreted above). Maybe it all traces back to the original Gamespot article getting things wrong, or interpreting them wrong (and every other site copy/pasting the news with no attempt to verify), or Take 2's report languge being vague at best. Game journalism is actually pretty annoying in the copy/paste regard. heres the low down from the 3DRealms staff on this event.

Yeah, and GTA: San Andreas is actually the worst of the bunch when it comes to collecting crap. In GTA: Vice City, you had to find 100 hidden packages, but for every 10 you found, you were rewarded with something nice. In GTA: San Andreas, on the other hand, you ONLY get rewarded if you find each and every one of the hidden items, be it photographs, graffiti, horseshoes or clams. A very bad decision, in my opinion, and a step backwards in game design as most people won't ever get a single reward from all their collecting. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I AGREE!! I felt the same way when I was going through it. Ohwell, nothing a cup of coffee can't settle. I can't believe Take Two Interactive lost 50 Million over Hot Coffee, it seems ridiculous. And since they lost that $50 million, now they are only offering Duke Nukem a 4.5 million instead of 6 million and they'll give them a prize of $500K 3DRealms can come out with it before christmas... which means that 3DRealms is now going to get that rushed feeling and we may end up with a buggy unfinished game. <_< I'm playing Half Life 2 Episode One, and I also just ordered an Audigy 2 ZS on ebay for $45 bucks! I had a Soundblaster LIVE! Value card but recently I've been getting many sound problems. My problems occur in GTA:SA and FEAR. It was time ti get a new sound card, The LIVE!Value edition is old.

I wrote that down, I also will make my page file larger next time. The unnoficial pathces look tempting also, but then again they seem to create as many problems as they fix!

Bring down a console and type flush, seriously? It worked for you?

was there a way to dump the excess memory being used in the game by using the Vampire Bloodline Console? Or do I have to restart the game each time it gets to choppy?

Thats Golden!

Nvidias next card will be the Geforce 7999.99 because they're out of their mind!!!! (w00t) Edited for grammar.

There weren't just ex employees in those videos. I do agree that PBS has better news coverage, NPR does also, I like BBC also, and I have random other sites where I get my news and PodCasts from also. All I'm Saying is Fox sucks at news period. I think they are the worste of the main news stations. And do not help society, but only damage it by keeping their viewers ignorant. Edward R. Murrows

Many of the people in those links are ex-employees. I guess thats the coolness that Tak was talking about. :cool:

she's a troll yet you say things like this? what a joke. just because fox doesn't fit into your nifty cool ideology doesn't make them any worse (or better) than any other news organization. taks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pfft. Their a republican brown nose brainwashing tool. What a surprise, Tony Snow from Fox news joins the white house press secratary. This is the same News Corporation that started the "War On Christmas" claiming liberals, and the secularist were attacking Christmas. Fox News even gets a man who is being paid by Exxon to say why we should be for oil, and cuts the other guy off by going to commercial before he could reveal it. They even tell their guests to shut up. It is subjective whether or not you like this News group, thats redundant. I don't care whether you get your news from Fox or even Pat Robertson. Do you do #$#)? Clicky! Fox News Misleads Clicky! Fox News Tenchniques Clicky! Fox News Memos Clicky! Fox News Investigating Techniques

I saw the clip already. Shes a troll, and lives off attention. She also has a new book that came out on 6/6/6 rightfully. Shes very popular on FOX news too. Anything FOX News supports is most likely corrupted. She also thinks banning gay marriage is more important than people dieing in Iraq. Shes a nut job and all I have to ask stupid people like Ann Coulter is ... *censored by Walsingham for graphic, nay revolting adult content*?

humbug! grumble grumble, what a rip.

Really? My 9800 Pro could handle it fine. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Have anyone been able to fix the memory bug that causes the lag?

I'm a full time cool painter dude till fall comes around, then Ill be only half as cool. :cool:

No spam please! ^_^

I vote Cate Archer from NOLF

NOLF games rock! I loved the russian levels they were hilarious . And ELDER if you have any questions on how to get SS2 running I might be able to help, I had trouble getting mine to work also. After tinkering for a bit it started to work like a charm.

I found it entertaining also, better then Doom3 for sure. The frames rates were great also.

Contradict People - DIJF Sanders Something about this song, how the acoustic guitars melody is played with by sampling and the ambient background. Great stuff.

The Elegant universe DVD, documentary with Host Brian Greene. Inspired by his book elegant Universe. I didn't read ththat book but the Fabric of the cosmos was great. Good Documentary I also saw The Root of All Evil? with Richard Dawkins, awesome stuff.

The whole faith issue kinda is meh to me. Was FAITH the right word to use? What was his definition? because i translate it as trust, blind trust right? So everyone was saying "have faith" blah blah, have trust in what? She was looking for a purpose that would give her the will to power again, yes i know but what role does faith have really? I know faith can act as a placebo effect if its true, but what it was directed towards is a mystery. So was Faith the right word to use?

What seemed really random to me is Zoe's story dealing with her family. I wonder how that is going to play out in the next installment. I thought this whole game that the little girl was april ryan from the guardians realm when she has to deal with her dad to pass the challenge. But Ragner decided to do a typical scarey little girl that intercepts the tv with static. Meh. And it becoes her little sister?! Even deeper they have the same mother. So what did everyone think of the White Driac Kin Death? Did you hear the feathers flapping inthe back ground? Was it westhouse, rennegade darkperson, or Craw(unlikely?).

Cannibal The Musical Created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone I liked it!

Any good? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I haven't go that far yet. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I loved it, i rank it up there with the original, its extremely easy and the controls are funky but the story is great, it was written extremely well.

Gabriel Knight series The Longest Journey Dreamfall: The Longest Journey (2) Kings Quest 5, *6(best one), and 7 (so-so, this screams girl power) Syberia Here are my favorite adventure games.
