Guys, don't gravedig TVD's thread from 2004- oh wait

Actually TUC is the most powerful Shout in the game. It instantly wins any battle by making your adversaries don black shirts and sunglasses, and dance to a mid-'90s cro-dance tune.

Not anymore! :D Though to be fair, I haven't yet had a chance to play DX:HR or TWitcher 2. I doubt I will like either better than Skyrim, though. Despite all its faults, for me Skyrim is one of the quintessential escapist games, perhaps the closest any has ever come to combining the...

Antivirus software can't protect you from phishing attacks, and affords only limited protection against keylogging. Account hijacking is a risk for any service that doesn't provide two-factor authentication, from Facebook, to most US banks (having security questions doesn't mean your...

I did, kinda. Most Croteam programmers graduated from the same college as me, though a few years earlier. I remember two of them gave a guest lecture on Serious Engine in the undergrad graphics class in 2003 or so. Then a few years later a colleague of mine applied for a job there, but they...

For some reason I can't stand dubstep. To me it just sounds like techno without a bass drum, noisy, slow, and tiresome. Which is ironic, given that it's one of the bassiest types of electronic music, and it's as fast as hard trance in terms of BPM. Anyway, I believe my opinion of dubstep is...

Hello again, guys, I know I'm probably getting on everybody's nerves by now with my experiments and surveys, but could I trouble you to take the revised version of my previous survey? Turns out the previous survey didn't have enough power to measure what I was interested in, so I've come up...

Thanks Serge! I could still use a few more participants, so anyone considering doing the survey is more than welcome to do so.

Thanks, guys. Keep 'em coming! Oh, and in question 8, I meant "solicit" in the sense of "peddle", i.e. try to sell. Though now that I think about it, "solicit", when used with object, means pretty much the opposite. Curse my inadequate grasp of English! Oh well, sorry about that. It should be...

Thanks everyone who PM'd me and took part in the study. But guess what, we're not done yet. I'd also like to invite people to participiate in a little survey. Don't worry, this survey is open to everyone, including non-native English speakers. Feel free to either PM me your responses, or simply...

Hey guys, I need assistance from you with a class assignment. I'm a doing a very short study of phenomena of Internet forum use, and I need participants for a brief, five-minute (at most) task. I only need about a dozen people, though 15 or 16 would be perfect. If you're a native English...

Read an EULA every once in a while. You've never owned any piece of software you ever bought, and you never will. The chief difference between locally installed games and streaming games is purely technical - the former execute client-side, while the latter execute server-side. The former model...

Actually, if you go by the traditional definition of the Third World as the group of non-aligned countries (i.e. those unaffiliated with either the US-led western block or USSR-dominated eastern block), then Yugoslavia is as third world as it gets, since it was one of the leaders and founding...

Harumph. In Croatia we have fiber-optics in big cities. And clean water. And sewage. And the latter almost never seeps into the former. But if you mean a place like Africa or Haiti, then I agree. However, I don't think Africa can at this point be used as any kind of standard to judge the...

I'm pretty sure even third world countries will have omnipresent fiber-optic links 20 years from now. ... Oh, I see what you did there.

Well, if it worked as advertised, it would be the present of gaming, rather than the future. :D Two issues must be solved before OnLive becomes gaming's Netflix: 1) Internet connections. This is the greater of the two issues. Majority of Internet users don't have access to Internet...

You know how I was initially skeptical about this OnLive thing? Well, I was wrong. Very wrong. Behold the future of gaming: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpFzpF0msrU Yes, that's Borderlands being played on a fucking iPad! A new era is upon us, gentlemen. Processing power and memory size...

Except in this case the car in question is a Ferrari, and the customer is a guy who can't figure out what the paddle shifters on the steering wheel are for. As has repeatedly been explained to you, AI in Halo is degraded on lower difficulty levels, and many behaviors which are common for hostile...

Your experience was wrong. Also, I have no idea what Radiant AI is like in theory. To the best of my knowledge, Radiant AI was never presented at a technical conference like GDC, nor were any concrete tech specs ever given by Bethesda. It could be the most sophisticated piece of AI...

Previously day 0 DLC was free of charge.
