Gearbox could have made a Blade Runner game Random bit of news. I did like Westwood's game back in the day, replayed last year found 2 endings I never even knew were there, heh.

Day off, supposed to start cleaning the house as per parents' command but...they're all asleep. And I made a nifty spreadsheet too with times and zones for each person to clean. Bah, organization is useless around here. Started on laundry so, not wasting time.

Number 9 on that list made me laugh, but ah well. Google's sure got good returns with the "Do No Evil" scthick. Anyway, seems interesting, but I'll wait until people I talk to go on to that before giving it a look see.

That's not really much of a reason. Not that Facebook is amazing, but still would like to hear some backing for the claim.

Hm nothing I've not played and am interested in, bahh

USA's got it on lock down. Our men's team can blow a 2 goal lead in back to back years, but our woman's team can hang on. what a joke. Hoping for Germany, but they need to get it together quickly. France looks pretty good too. Now, with Canada gone, all I need is England to go home and then the tournament'll be fine regardless .

Watched women's football. Canada got wrecked by the French, who played pretty damn well.

And why is Google+ any better?

Heh, this just reminds me of WAR's launch when people claimed they ripped off WoW for having..action bars or the hp display, etc. Only so many ways you can show that info well. WoW did change the MMO market, I guess, everyone needs WoW numbers or it's a failure

I hear WoW invented MMOGs.

Am confused by all this grief at some cop who bought it doing a traffic stop. At least the comments on the news articles are troll-worthy though, claims of heroism, the ultimate sacrifice and some claim that the 15 year olds could have gone on to kill someone. Should be a good way to pass the time Also Happy Birthday Shryke, hopefully you live to see the next one.

Sorted out my CD-R collection, amazing how many of them are unlabelled. Tomorrow or on my day off I'll go through the pile and ID the unknowns and bin the ones I don't want or don't play anymore.

Isn't that...sort of cheating? I mean you abuse the camera to look around a wall that your character shouldn't be able to see in his current position...it feels really cheap and what's wrong with just leaning? Also I haven't played R6 or the DXHR leak, but judging from video previews the constant switching between 3rd person and 1st person looks really disorientating and quite unnecessary...I'm guessing it's not that bad when you actually play it? Heh in a game like R6, yeah it's cheating. But Vegas was a pretty pathetic Rainbow Six game, pretty fun FPS though. In DX3, it's not that big a deal, although it would be cool to deny people that superb awareness. Beware the fans though, heh.

Well that's good if you're blind when in cover, makes sense to not have some sort of omniscience about the combat zone.

Job's not thaaaat bad But always looking, anyway

Sometimes it's fun and cool to work with, but trying to do crap like pass in several arguments involves some mindscrewing stack operations that's not immediately clear, makes debugging and maintenance a pain. But the comments (in production code) that read "Errr not sure what the hell this does?" or "Screw it, this kinda works" do make it chuckleworthy.

I suggest you sleep more. Also I'm going into consulting.

What was so special about Vegas' cover system ? If I recall from playing it, it was the same routine other than the "blind" firing, maybe I've forgotten something.

You people are weird.

Shame they didn't use some FP cover system, then again only game that had that was VC I think.

Useful to know for work, around here anyway., might be likewise where he is (or is just him being curious, heh). C is more fun to play with. Anything is more fun that this language I'm working with, yay proprietary stack based language. Combined with crackhead Englishmen that think misleading comments is the way to go.

Amused at the AC dying due to...a dirty air filter. Ah well. Found out the project I'm working on is truly screwy as the high level spec has changed and I still don't have a tech spec. So sort of doing my own spec which will end up being wrong in all likelihood. Also amusing.

But he has a cool voice and shades. And angst and that transhumanism stuff.
