Pidesco Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Hades has, in fact, been a Microsoft plant since the Black Isle days. It's all part of Bill Gates' insidious plan to get all hardcore RPG gamers to use Windows Vista.

Pidesco Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I would like to note that if you take The h and the d from Hades and put a g and a t instead you'll get the word Gates. Now, what does that tell you? :ph34r: "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian touristI am Dan Quayle of the Romans.I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.Heja Sverige!!Everyone should cuffawkle more.The wrench is your friend.

Kaftan Barlast Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 What Ive heard of Windows Vista, its not something Id like to have on my computer unless I absolutely had to. Â Â Tons of MS-spyware, DRM's and more DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself.

alanschu Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Hehehe. Â As long as they don't think about charging for it like the initially were doing with Direct3D, I won't care a whole lot. If they do, I wouldn't be surprised to see Doom take off. Â A real advantage of OpenGL though is that other operating systems support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
