  1. Is it just me, or has it been edited to add some of the game titles? I'm sure they weren't there when first posted Well, saves me googling for the characters. Looks great... remember playing Q*bert and Tapper way back in time
  2. What made you think that it actually intended to PM anybody?
  3. Mostly the latter part. I don't register any software unless forced to. If a piece of software tries to force me to do so, I will first try to find workarounds or "fixes" for it to avoid online registration. And yes, thats for legally purchased software. My windows and various security software are the only programs from top of my head that are registered in order to receive regular updates.
  4. That is a brilliant rationalization for poor programming practice. ;p >_ A less talented coder can write nice structured code that gets a job done in it's own pace. A sloppy coder can write unreadable, but fast code with a low execution complexity O(some funny expr.) or how ever that notation was back at the universithy when doing formal algorithm comparisons. A good coder writes well structured, efficient code. Choice of paradigm is not only a question of coding speed/code execution but a questiion of analysis/design paradigm, maintenance cost, accessability, system integration and a heck of a lot more.
  5. .NET is not a languagenitpick>
  6. I know CIA is not exactly famous for their assessment of other countries, but according to them: https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/sf.html the post apartheid death rate is 22 deaths/1,000 population (2006 est.) . The pre apartheid might be a bit trickier. I've got a new developer starting here in a few weeks time from South Africa, maybe he can give a hint where to search. Sort of depends on how urgent you need to info.
  7. It's called evasive maneuvers (Sp?)... If you have played Icewind Dale II, you'll never trust a barrel not to have a hidden agenda. Better to stay clear of them and try do dodge whatever they may do to you
  8. Don't you ever get tired of repeating yourself again and again? ? http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?sh...ndpost&p=708249 http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?sh...ndpost&p=708199 http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?sh...ndpost&p=708223 It might just be a coincidence that I read all three posts within 5 minutes of each other. Did sound a bit like a broken record Not that people aren't entitled to oppinions, but you made it sound like the entire world was doing it
  9. Don't you ever get tired of repeating yourself again and again?
  10. They might have some trouble maintaining the ESRB Teen rating then I'm really looking forward to have an oppinion about this game now

    Select the My Controls link at the top right hand corner of the forum. From your control panel, you should have an Edit Signature on your lefthand side. You can add text and tags in the text box there. Edit: DN just did one better and showed exactly which tags to use
  12. Well, he just helped me make my mind up whether to buy or not. I'm so gonna get this game when it gets released here in Australia (on the 16th I think) :D
  13. Muahaha... the cops kept the game. As evidence? Yeah right! Somebody should go and check what those guys are doing late at night at the police station
  14. Yay, Gorthovania has been reborn! :D Citizens of the capital Gorthopia has volunteered to parade in streets and show their appreciation for their new founding father :deadhorse:"
  15. For some strange reason, the link is not working for me. >_ They don't allow direct linking. Just click on the address in your browser and hit return again. Nothing interesting there though, just a mild rant from somebody who doesn't know the IT industry and a pat on the back for Team Gizka
  16. I think Atari is doing the packaging and shipping (and manual printing and everything else related to the publishing of the game)...
  17. Running any kind of anonymous internet/hide your identity type software? Could be a mac address spoofing utility gone wrong.
  18. Got myself the Tombraider game. Good fun. Even found a retail store that had HoMM V on the shelf, unfortunately I didn't bring my credit card that day It's only temporarily postponed though, I'll get it soon. Otherwise the list still applies. Looking forward to Disciples III and to some degree NWN2
  19. A new baby Cthulhu avatar for Hades
  20. Oh no, don't tell me you are one of them...? :ph34r:
  21. My favourite pet peeve is obsessive compulsive behaviour. Especially people who can't stop clicking their *&^%$# pens for no good reason
  22. It was generally just a long rant about how he hated crpgs because they had (oh woes!) numbers and stats and stuff in them. Something like that should not occur in a modern game because it interfers with the action. And he was most disappointed with it's action game qualities. Slightly paraphrased, but that was the gist of his review.
