QA is severely undererestimated, Ive heard this from gamers to designers and even a corporate CEO. A lot of companies apparently dont do any QA at all except a final tech test before the gold master goes to print where theyll send it back if they find any gamestoppers. ..but from my experieces with making games it doesnt surprise me. For all the 4-5 games weve made this year, we havent had time to properly test any of them. In our final exhibition with all the bigshots a few weeks ago, the programmers were continuously updating the code as the game was being demoed over the course of two days. thered be a new version every 30min.

Genesis - The colony of Slippermen this was when Peter Gabriel was lead singer and used to wear costumes to reflect the characters in the songs. the slipperman is kind of icky

I should just mention that theyve closed the officer schools in Sweden, no new officers are being trained. Now all we have to do is to sell our tanks and stuff to Finland, make underwear of camouflage clothing, and close down all the bases and turn them into amusement parks where people can come in and use whatever munitions are left to blow **** up ) So shes gonna be one of those people who ride around in helicopters over Iraq saying "all insurgents have small penises" over the PA in order to break the very minds and souls of the opposition?

http://www.mmogchart.com/ These figures are probably as accurate as youre going to get unless you kidnap and beat the reral figures out of the sales managers of respective companies. I know Ive heard rumours that Blizzard and many other companies purpously inflate their numbers.

..and you didnt get a complimentary T-shirt

First post with new sweet 7900GTX. First impressions: This card is quiet! less noise than my old zalman cooler.. it also runs at about 45C idle which 15-20C lower than my 6800U

In a way its wishful thinking. Still, MMO's are really a genre of their own that doesnt compete on the same level as normal games. Some people might say that MMO's signify the death of single/multi-player CRPGs but I think thats alot like saying football wil be the end of hockey. but MMO's are doing well and WoW is the king

That, noone knows. ( although one could suspect the interest over NWN2 is much higher than any single MMO released in the last months, simply because the MMO market is oversaturated )

Well, you ARE turkish.. youre supposed to eat such things. Like we swedes and our fermented herring and our lutfisk.

Btw, do you think Ill be fine with my AMD 64 3500+ or will that CPU be a bit of a bottleneck? I just read on BFG's website that the minimum required CPU is a 2500+

There are already two active MMO's for every CRPG ever released, so if we get or dont get another one... who cares?

I just ate a drief fig.

Its a Swedish model 74 from 1957. Its a rebuilt m42 with a larger turret housing a 70mm cannon, the designation 7-4 inicated that this was tank project No.4 and that the cannon bore was 7cm. Bastardly enough, they removed all three tanks daus after I was there molestin them. They were standing on the army base grounds where my Uni is renting a hangar (for housing the huge MoCap studio among things )

( isnt it just the brits and the portugese who drive on the wrong side of the road these days? ) Achtung Panzer!!!

And with "miltary" I mean army, navy, airforce, national guard.. the works. And I want to ask everyone, no just peeps from the US. I know a lot of you have more or less voluntarily served but I would like to know why you signed up? What makes one go into a recruitment office and sign a contract? It seems most people do it for the benefits and/or the money, not because they have a deep urge to serve the goverment. In Sweden we have compulsory military duty so I like all men was sent to this base to go through evaluation but it just took me an hour to realise the military wasnt for me(slight problem with authority ") so I wiggled out of it.

we had more: TAAAAAKE MAA BREATH AAAAA-WAAAAAYYYY! *insert 80s guitar solo*

Sometimes smashing things up, prevents it from bottling up too <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well the, how about Angry Combing Your Hair. [Edited by Walsingham for unnecessary lewdness]

Any attempt to remove SPECIAL from Fallout will result in disaster. This will probably do even worse than the d20 version of Call of Cthulhu.

Well, I still get a free Tshirt "

You can ask for double anaesthetics in Sweden, I had a wisdom tooth pulled last summer (doing it again in two months) and I didnt feel a damn thing, it stuck in for about an hour or two afterwards too so it was completely painless. And its not like when you were a kid and went and they shot your mouth so full of painkilers that you drooled and spoke like a mongoloid for an hour afterwards either :D

Gah, all our classic "mellanstadiedisko" songs are there... the horror.. the horror

http://www.webhallen.com/prod.php?id=54157 1900XT @ 5279kr http://www.webhallen.com/prod.php?id=56555 7900GTX @ 5265kr theyre about the same price. but sure, if you compare a factory overclocked eVGA GTX with a point-of-view 1900XT then the nVidia card is more expensive. Also, a big point is that the 1900 cards draw a humongous amout of power(around 130w), too much for my 350w silent PSU, whereas the 7900GTX draw only 10w more than my old 6800u(65-74w) Bloom with .ini tweaks can look just as good... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The way HDR is implemented in Oblivion is just like Bloom effects. They dont use it like youre supposed to on specific ares of luminescence (like a window in daylight seen from a dark interior) but they plaster it everywhere. Just look at the damn walls in the capital city, they shine so bright your eyes hurt and thats not the way its supposed to be IMO

The 7900GTX will give me full eyecandy, full AA+AF@1280x1024 BUT it will also give me one hell of an fps, which you won get at 1600x1200 (per-pixel lighting/effects are heavier to run the more pixels youve got, see?) And where did you get it frm that the x1900XT is cheaper? its almost the exact same price

I just think devs use it in unnescessary places and theres too much of it. Kind of like people did with Lens Flare when that first came in photoshop

Has anyone mentioned the fact that prepping a structure like the WTC towers for demolishion (as was suggested in the documentary) would take weeks, probably months, and also require drilling into the concrete structure to place the charges in order for them to have any effect?
