News Comments > Metro 2033 DLC Revealed
9. Re: Metro 2033 DLC Revealed May 13, 2010, 09:12 Burrito of Peace
 
I received this game as a gift and it's sitting on the shelf, after installing but never playing.

Why? Because it loads to a black screen due to my multiple monitor configuration. Their tech support's solution was to unplug all but one monitor and that would fix the problem.

No thanks. Sorry you suck at figuring out the primary display when so many other games, even some quite old, don't have this problem.

please god please grant this man's wish. my heart's desire is to shoot in the face anyone with a MAC tag next to him.

The added bonus is that the weapon you shoot him in the face with will cost half as much and give you double the performance.

News Comments > Pirating vs Paying a Penny
8. Re: Pirating vs Paying a Penny May 10, 2010, 14:14 Burrito of Peace
 
"How many legitimate users is it ok to inconvenience in order to reduce piracy?" The answer should be none.

These guys apparently just graduated from the Stardock School of Business, which I wholeheartedly agree with.

Here's what I got from the pamphlet I received in the mail:

1. Don't be a dick to your target demographic.
2. Make fun, engaging games that may, or may not, push the graphics envelope.
3. Treat your customers like customers, not potential criminals.
4. Try to resolve your customers' issue as quickly as possible and be interested in doing so!
5. Reward your loyal customers.

News Comments > Alganon Plagiarism?
15. Re: removed May 10, 2010, 12:54 Burrito of Peace
 
The quoted text is blatant plagiarism, or theft, of another's work. If someone is the perpetrator of plagiarism, or theft, how are they then not a thief? Did they not commit the act?

Further, how is presenting someone else's work as your own not lying?

FPS games are boring. Spin left, right, look up, look down, shoot. Zzz...

Anything can be substituted in that statement.

Your favorite genre of game sucks.

The whole thing looks...uninspired. I can't put my finger on it directly but it just looks...average based on these screenshots and the demo movies I've seen.

Yeah, being too content is a real reason to quit your job.
Yes, it is. For people, who want to achieve something else, than going to the same work for the next 20 years, because it's so comforting. Maybe, he wants to start his own company, taking the risk, finding out, if he can do it. Maybe, he wants to help people, do charity. We don't know. And frankly, it's none of our business

The, comma, is, sometimes, overused, and, in, this, case, seems, to, be, abused. Unless, of, course, you, are, an, asthmatic, which, is, totally,,,,u,n,d,e,r,s,t,a,n,d,a,b,l,e.

News Comments > MechWarrior 4 Installer Coming
4. Re: MechWarrior 4 Installer Coming May 4, 2010, 11:26 Burrito of Peace
 
Ok, now I will cut them slack. Especially with the upcoming standalone installer, patch and possible means of distributing the client outside of their wretched delivery system.

Though, I wonder if they are planning to implement a patch that allows for playing the game at resolutions higher than 1280*1024.

I've got a lovely set of Tritton 720 5.1 surround headphones that sound beautiful with the Dolby encoding I get off of my on-board audio chipset. It's an IDT which, I think, is a derivative of the Realtek hardware.

Zero noise. Not ever.

Blah blah blah.

This boils down to "This is my pet project and, instead of releasing patches like everyone else does with self-installing executables, I'm going to continue to force you to use this buggy piece of shit because, hey, I have Mechwarrior 4 for free...and you don't."

How is version tracking a "much larger problem"? It isn't. For fuck's sake, you could do basic version tracking in Excel!

I have the same problem. MTX is probably one of the worst loader/installer/clients I have seen in a long, LONG time.

What, they just can't release a RAR or ZIP like the rest of the human race?

One would hope. I can't see why anyone would partner with Activision right now, based on what's going on...

I am guessing this deal was in the works long before the shitstorm with IW started.

Happy Anniversary Blue!

On the subject of kids: Yeah, it's something that needs to be approached (if at all) very, very diplomatically. My wife and I have been married for 7 years and do not have children. It is far more emotionally difficult for my wife to explain why than it is for me. However, on the plus side, no birth control of any sort...ever.

Meh.

Wake me up when these twits get anywhere near close to the realism that SimBin puts in their games.

Rigs:

Frigates are a harassing force, not meant for stand up fights. Took me a while to figure that out. Once you start treating them as guerrilla warfare units, they become much more useful. Well, at least to me.
