8. Re: Blizzard Sued Nov 21, 2006, 16:51 DrEvil
 
It all depends on the legality of selling software that potentially violates the DMCA, and definately the EULA. There's no way they could have written such a program without using the game to snoop the memory addresses of the shit it does. It attaches to a running game to watch your health and other shit. They had to have the game to develop it, which makes the developers in breach of the EULA at least. I'm sure they maintain active accounts to fix their cheat when blizzard updates the client files and it breaks.

I for one hope blizzard destroys them. Selling a cheat for a game is bullshit.

$100 + ~$100 for an addon hard drive is still a bargain. Then you effectively have a premium console, except wired instead of wireless controller.

The only thing that requires the hard drive is playing the old xbox games. Getting onto live and all that shit can be done with a memory unit.

More details here:

Dude, you're fucking stupid. The fact that it was a multi-player only mod has absolutely no bearing on whether it should or shouldn't have bots, and whether it is or isn't fun playing with bots. It is absolutely 100% your opinion.

The fact that any game or mod shipped with bots or not means not a fucking thing. It means they didn't want to bother, it means they didn't have the budget, didn't have someone interested in doing it to a high quality level, etc.

You're a fucking bigot plain and simple. You try to pass off your opinion as fact to trash anyone elses preference to play a game differently from you. To you if someone enjoys playing bots more than people there is something wrong with them. You can't accept easy explanation from these people for the reasons why, and instead comeback with responses of how they are doing something wrong not to be enjoying multiplayer. The world doesn't follow 1 train of thought.

DX10 is really the only reason they could potentially make such a claim. It's not enough.

Or you can play the game how you like to play and let him play it like he wants to play? Does it hurt your e-penis that someone else enjoys the game differently than you do? Like it or not plenty of people like playing against bots. You don't have to agree with the reasons or approve of it. As usual there is always a vocal minority of jackasses who attribute bots to the downfall of games. Pure FUD.

As a bot author I've been personally blamed for the downfall of TFC for my role with Foxbot. It blows my mind how retarded these people are.

The signal to noise ratio of playing against other people is often just not worth the effort. I want to jump in a game and have some fun quickly. I don't want to have to fuck with the best case of knowing a good server, refreshing till a slot is open and trying to join, and still inevitably deal with jackasses or people who are strictly out for kill counts, which dominate even the best servers. Don't like bots? Fine, but your view on the subject is no more right or wrong than anyone elses.

Meh, have fun playing the same thing over and over again, rebranded from year to year.

As opposed to console gaming, which does the exact same thing? And these consoles that are lucky to live past a few months? Nah.

And it's a server bug fix it looks like. So why the fuck do clients have to patch at all? Someone at EA has head in ass syndrome.

PS3 fetching mostly ho-hum prices on Japan Net auctions.

Damn, I guess the American PS3 fanboys are just that much stupider.

Think he meant draw as in "attract". The game would have to draw/attract more than 100 people online playing, not draw as in rendering.

Depends on the service. The Navy and Air Force probably have a much higher collective intelligence than the Army and Marines, because they do many more jobs that are technical based. It doesn't take a degree to be a troop, and those branches have a higher knucklehead ratio. Many of them are college kids doing the same shit any college kid would be doing at home, partying when they have the chance. In the morning rather than picking up books they are picking up a gun. They have more responsibility than anyone in their peer group could possibly imagine, and fucks like you shit all over the lot of them.

The military is made of civilians. Just like civilians there are fuckups. If you really think the military alone is made of retards you haven't looked at your local college recently. The entire world is full of retards.

You don't ever hear about the majority of the military that supports the minority. Those are the people that have jobs that require intelligence and skill. All you hear about is the fuckups that snap in Iraq and rape a kid and kill their family. That's how the media works. The fact that you are buying into it so blindly puts you squarely in the retard camp with some of them.

Big fucking deal. Common sense dictates they will upgrade the software before Vista is ships. I can't believe such bullshit makes headlines. OMG something doesn't work on an OS that isn't even out yet!! Fuckin retards.

It plays pretty damn smooth for me. The movie FPS says 7.3, but it plays back at 30, also clearly listed on the movie info page. And no it doesn't mean it would play back faster, it means many of the frames are extrapolated, just like most compression algorithms work. The resulting playback doesn't look choppy to me in the least. Is it not playing back at 30 on yours? Is there some quicktime option you fucked with and forgot about to disable it?

edit:
Does it play back differently than this for you? http://i15.tinypic.com/4d6s281.jpg

Or if it would let me run AVG anti-virus.
It does

Or if it didn't take up a gig of RAM just idling there.
It doesn't


edit: Here's a decent page that compares the overhead of commands between dx9 and dx10

http://tomshardware.co.uk/2006/11/08/what_direct3d_10_is_all_about_uk/page6.html

I'm not putting much faith on current benchmarks. I plan to give Vista a few months for drivers to mature, and for it to actually become available before I start looking at the performance difference. There's potential there I think, but we shall see in the coming months I think more in that department. I'm a bit optimistic of Vista after several of my friends reported to me actual improved performance over XP in several games on RC2. Obviously nobody should be expecting to run it that well in older hardware. It's a 'next gen' OS basically, and I could give a rats ass how much memory it takes up, so long as when I launch my games it frees up what it needs, which as I understand it, is part of what it is designed to do. We'll see what happens in the coming months.
