This is rich. Derek Smart has posted twice (once after being swatted down by Blue himself) and no one has said a single syllable about it.
Is it backward day or something? Or has a callus replaced that part of our brains? |

| Anyone know specifically what technology gulf he's referring to here? The article doesn't go into it in detail (surprise!) and I've never used Impulse so I'm pleading ignorance. |

| Why do you bluesies have such a throbbing, purple-veined hard-on for HL3? You know you're just going to say it sucks anyway. There's plenty of things to hate that are available now! No reason you hate squirrels have to store hate in your cheeks like so many mashed up acorns. Spit it out already. |

Personally i'd like to see a new Vice City game.
Are the 90s old enough now to have a 90s themed GTA?
What sets the 90s apart? This is a serious question as I've never really been able to figure it out. I dunno...grunge & flannel, I guess? |

I'm anti-Ebert, but that's only because I really have never liked his movie reviews. It's pretty infrequent that I agree with one of his reviews.
And I just wanted to say that by just reading the blurb for the Gamefront article, I can tell the author hasn't been gaming for very long. The Battlefield series is copying Call of (Boring) Duty? Seriously??
It's not the Gamefront article I was referring to. It's the GameSetWatch one...the first one. Give it a read, prez.
Edit: unless you were mentioning it as an aside. If so, that's cool too. But you should read the GameSetWatch article anyway, regardless of how you feel about Mr. Ebert. |

| What a great read the Brian Moriarty piece is. I'll bet that anyone still anti-Ebert did not read this article in its entirety. |

That was nice of Valve (giving back axs), but it's troubling that so many people are so willing to give up the ability to resell their purchases.
Arguing that a company holds rights to something is fine, but despite licensing, terms of agreement, etc, why is it that so many people accept this inability to resell?
You can find all sorts of collections upon eBay, of pc games, atari and games, dreamcast, etc.
Why shouldn't we be able to resell software that we purchase?
Does the loss of the ability to resell software mean as much if you've never done it? I say no. I've never resold any software I've ever bought. |

Since when is a sequel (or prequel) to a movie a remake?
I'll grant you that most sequels suck, but let's try to keep a certain amount of accuracy in our QQ'ing.
Correct. They're primarily talking about prequels/sequels, although the press release did mention a remake.
But even if it is a remake...so what?
[This is not directed at Stormsinger (who got it right), but rather those who generally object to remakes] Did you know that when they produce a remake that they actually DON'T alter anything from the original film?
It's true. Not a single frame is touched. I'm certain you're surprised to learn this, given how strongly the moronic horde react to remakes.
Also...they don't confiscate a single DVD of the original film from people's DVD collections. Phew, right? Again: a complete surprise to learn this, I'm sure. </sarcasm>
So, seriously, how will a remake of Blade Runner ruin the original? I'd love to hear this. |

I was thinking recently about how I'd go about hooking my PC up to the TV in a relatively simple, low latency way (the PC's a fair distance from the TV). I don't know if they'll be looking at the hardware or just software but I'll my keeping an eye on it.
Yeah, I was thinking about doing the same thing...in 1998...so I did. MP3s via Winamp + visualizations on the big screen back when it was totally novel. Boy, those were the days. |

And to think this all started with a The Little id software Engine That Could.
Given how groundbreaking and huge id software was in the 90s, it always seemed like they were the ones that should've elevated to the position Valve is in now. id was so huge! Didn't everyone at id get a Ferrari as a bonus one year or something? Talk about squandering your position.
Today, id is owned by Zenimax and Valve is totally calling their own shots and innovating and diversifying like a motherfucker.
I just think that's funny. |

Please please pretty please no level scaling monsters and NPCs this time around...
I don't think there's anything (that I've seen) to suggest that leveling in V will be different than what it was in IV. I don't think Bethesda believes this leveling concern is anything more than the fabled "vocal minority" and I think they're right. Hence: no changes to leveling, probably. If there were a change of this kind planned, I think they'd have mentioned it in a myriad previews I've read.
Besides, I guaran-GOT-DAMN-tee that a mod will be created that addresses the leveling game mechanic. Plus a thousand other mods that do a thousand other things.  |
