    JES formsprings, MCA lunches

    Regarding the immediate visual feedback, I am always for having the option to turn stuff like that off. Sure it alters the gameplay, but if gameplay is what a developer cares about, then they should allow the player to play however they want, and just set the default options to what the...

    Infinity Wards is dead

    Me in 2004. With dial-up. "Please wait 7 more hours while Steam decrypts the data you just installed on your hard drive from the CDs."

    best post- apoc movie

    Amazon river/jungle or Amazonian tribe of women? If it is the latter then perhaps you are referring to She-Wolves of the Wasteland (1988) aka Phoenix the Warrior.

    Chris Avellone Inside the Vault

    Like my old teacher used to say, "There is no such thing as a stupid question, only a stupid person who asks a question." My registration date shows 2007, but I had been lurking here since 2004. It just took me that long to decide if I wanted to be associated with this community. Only...

    Afterfall still coming, still awesome!

    Half of the comments here are jokes, but just in case someone wanted a more serious answer about this ridiculous game I will venture a guess. I would say that the things sticking out of the zombie (in both the 1st and 2nd pics) are bones (having become protruded as a result of zombification)...

    best post- apoc movie

    I agree. Spoilers in trailers are terrible. I have been muting/averting eyes from trailers for movies and shows that I have wanted to see for years. This is definitely a case where the marketing people have way too much leeway and care little about the viewing experience as long as it gets butts...

    best post- apoc movie

    I saw it and really enjoyed it. It is very realistic and gut-wrenching, but still has moments of fun interspersed between the intensity.

    Religious nutjobs change history

    I wouldn't worry too much about curriculum as long as schools are still hiring competant teachers and there are at least a few inquisitive students in every class. Teachers - ignoring school boards incompetent and biased curriculum since 400 B.C.

    7/10. I have a headache. It might be a tumor. Apologies for the national figurehead disrespect.

    Healthcare reform just passed!

    I live in the U.S. and have followed the health care legislation for a year now and even before when it was various campaign promises. Although I know that the U.S. health care system needs reform (see my post in a different thread about all of the "concerned people" who want their piece of the...

    Fallout: New Vegas - Metro 2033 screenshot comparison

    It was a joke. See The Truman Show. I wonder if the dirt on the Zenimax business and design philosophy will ever get out. They seem a bit more tight-lipped and leak-proof than some companies are about things like that.

    Escape from New York gets new lease on life

    Reboot, reimagining, remake - it's just a word. What really matters is if the creators respect the heritage of the original and try to improve upon it in some substantial way. In that case they definitely did. Also, in the case of The Thing they changed the title, which probably should be...

    Escape from New York gets new lease on life

    Exactly. An most movie-goers are too ill-informed, stupid, or whatever to stay away even if it is inferior to the original version as long as there is enough marketing hype, CGI, or visual slickness. Dead on. In my opinion, the two main reasons they are awful: 1) They take away money, talent...

    8/10. Sensibly stylish safety spectacles.

    A new project and a new Engine - OPENEngine

    If your engine will be as complete and wonderful as you say it will be, then good luck to you. A couple of things to consider: 1) Consider changing the name. A quick google search of Openengine lists many different programs with that name. Further, because your software is closed source...

    Surviving nuclear war

    That's my point. In all of recorded human history we don't really have any examples of a disaster destroying the whole society. Even that tsunami didn't directly affect people that lived more than 100 or so feet above sea level. There are some other disasters that were very traumatic to...
