I am a dog person, but I have two cats. I don't like cats as a general rule, because they tend to not understand the master-pet relationship (or rather, they've got it backwards). Having said that, my two cats are not "normal" cats. Very intelligent and exceptionally companionable: they get upset if they cannot monopolise my attention at least every couple of hours. Rocky reminds me of a dog; he even plays tag! He's really good, too: he hides in a different place every time, he watches for you coming to find him, and when he's seeking, he cheats and looks under the obstacles to try and find you. When we got Furry we were renovating (read: gutting) our house; I used to keep her bundled up in my jumper all day (she'd tell me when she wanted to get down for food or bio break). Not normal cats. Doggies are much better as pets because they can kill burglars and you don't get in trouble with the police. :D

Depends if you're roleplaying a post-apocalyptic futurescape where the miserable remains of humanity eke out survival amongst giant, noisy computers, or not ...

Too long to read.

... It's only a matter of time ...

That is all according to the previous press releases: Valve and VU were set to part ways in August as a consequence of the legal battle that Valve recently won. I know EA is a 500 pound gorilla, but I doubt it's a hostile takeover ... Valve justs wants to maximise sales by having a standard distribution vector, as well as their spiffy new shiny Steam.

The intention was to force respondents to give the best answer ... Ah, but more and more games are being designed with more diverse audiences, e.g. Half-Life 2 has closed-caption for hearing-impaired (I turn it on just to see what those Vortigaunts are saying ...), and also helps compensate for the sight-impaired (with audio feedback). True, I don't expect a blind gamer to lead the frag count anytime soon (but maybe later), but gameplay is not totally dependent on graphics, either.

given that i have been a member of the IEEE, receiving the IEEE Spectrum (membership trade rag) for going on a dozen years now, i'd say i have a good insight into what they've been pushing. the new IEC standard is not one of those things, whether they like it or not. they may officially support it, but i don't hear anybody chanting "Mebi, Gibi, Tibi, RAH!"... nobody i know in the industry uses the terms, either. we are ingrained with 1 MB = 1024 kB. "Mega, Giga and Tera RAH!" and yes, b = bit, B = byte. drives me bonkerdoodles (highly technical term) to hear it used otherwise. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Bonkerdoodles,"

A bit like if everyone being evicted from the US and having to emigrate around the world, then ...

Good article, Mr Ender.

Congratulation. Don't be tempted to over-use those puns ... "

Yep, read both your posts, just don't see what relevance they are ...

True, I don't mind subjectivity, after all it is almost impossible to remove it; much better to have an honest appraisal of the motives and allegiances of the reviewer so that we may make our own informed judgement. That requires a clear audit trail.

Just so long as those Sims 2 turn down the heat a bit ...

For all I know you're a dev pretending to be a fanboy and stealing all my ideas ...

Now that's a doofus!

His motherboard is fried. Or his RAM, but I am betting the motherboard.

Do you want to talk about your recent fractious seperation, or would you rather just sulk ..?

I think you put much too much thought into a post about an idea utilizing the Yuuzhan Vong. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What's worse is I managed to link the Not K3 thread to the K3 suggestions thread, so now I may have triggered this threads close. So I officially retract my idea. :D (Also, it is pretty silly submiting plot ideas, even though all of mine are brilliant and should be bought for the potential film rights, alone. ")

Look, the developers all voted; it was a fair poll; I'm sorry but they decided that English loses and we all have to learn German or French, instead.

To sail into Berlin? I double fried chicken and potato wedges dare you with wipped cream.
