Whoa, whoa, whoa... Interplay still exists?

Yes, and it's called "inXile". I don't really know who is using the Interplay name nowadays, but it's about as authentic as Black Isle Studios.

It's free to attend, but being allowed to enter the building is a premium add-on.

The real question is, how large of a golden parachute is he going to get? I would assume it'll be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Not only that, he gets his choice of Battlefield 3, Bejeweled 3, Dead Space 3, Mass Effect 3, Medal of Honor Warfighter, Need for Speed Most Wanted, Plants vs. Zombies or SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition.

I was excited for a moment about a collaboration between World of Warcraft and the Museum Of Bad Art, but then I watched the trailer.

Maybe next time.

Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers.

Sorry.

Don't be sorry. You saved me from posting the same thing.

I dodged a bullet, there.

I would expect this to be a bit more like Children of the Nile than Pharaoh, but even that sounds promising.

They've decided to go in a bit of a different direction with that. It's now a text adventure, and you start just west of a white house.

I know we've talking about it before, but I'm still surprised no one has attempted a FPS elevator action mod...it would be so awesome...

It's not quite the same but there's always Elevator: Source.

Indeed. This could change the perception of Linux just as much as if id had released Linux versions of Doom or Quake back in the 1990s, or if classics like SMAC or HoMM were ported in 2000...

Oh, wait. They did. And nobody really cared and everyone involved has given up and gone on to new things long ago.

It's still good news, and I'm still going to be excited for it right up until Steve Ballmer has lunch with Gabe Newell, forgets his briefcase full of krugerrands on the table, and then the two of them announce an exciting new partnership between Steam and the Microsoft Totally-Not-An-App-Store Store whereupon this whole experiment is quietly swept under the rug and forgotten about leaving us with nothing more than an Ubuntu port of TF2 and a penguin shaped hat.

If you click on the link it says straight up it's cause they're adding Mac and Linux support.

The official word has been that Unity will support Linux Real Soon Now for years. I'll believe it when I see it.

Of course, the last Unity project I worked on was Tail Towns, so it will always smell funny to me.

You get 3 people that made the Fallout franchise what it is, and yeah, people are going to want to fund them.

On the other hand, what if you got the three people who made "Knights of the Old Republic II", "Alpha Protocol" and "Dungeon Siege III"? Would you want to fund them then?

Human rights law. Oookay, Teddy. Keep huffing the glue, buddy. Every single one of your posts becomes fucking dumber and dumber, so now you go on the dumbass list.

Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act 453 of 1976 as Amended by Public Act 202 of 1980:

Sec 103(h) Discrimination because of sex includes sexual harassment which means unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct or communication of a sexual nature when:

(i) Submission to such conduct or communication is made a term or condition either explicitly or implicitly to obtain employment, public accommodations or public services, education, or housing.

(ii) Submission to or rejection of such conduct or communication by an individual is used as a factor in decisions affecting such individual's employment, public accommodations or public services, education, or housing.

(iii) Such conduct or communication has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's employment, public accommodations or public services, education, or housing; or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive employment, public accommodations, public services, education, or housing environment.


Translating that into plain English, telling someone who works for you "Tits or GTFO" is against the law in Michigan.

Hmm. Sounds like it's turning into "THE SkyrIMS". All it needs to be complete is the ability to invite everyone in town over to a BBQ, convince them to go swimming and then have the ladder leading out of the pool mysteriously disappear.

Looks interesting. If it had even a tenth of the insane amount of detail that the real Dwarf Fortress has, it could be a winner.

[Linux] runs the servers, it runs the networking equipment, but only the IT support staff has a clue it's going on, which is maybe 0.5% of any business staff.

Few businesses run it in any other capacity.

So... How's that Android phone working out for you?

The car accident/people shot in cars scene was a lot less offensive then the CoD (MW2 I think) gameplay where you are mowing down innocent by standers in the airport. That was both useless, and unneeded for the gameplay or for the story.

But it did generate a lot of publicity, and people are still talking about it today. Rumour has it that Activision plans on having a level in CoD4 where the player puts babies on spikes, talks about how they taste like chicken, laughs nervously and then goes on to talk about Hitler's honeymoon, all while wearing a dress and high heels.

People will be talking about "Call of Duty 4: Dressed to Kill" for years.

I didn't see "Fixed an issue where viewing the ending could cause nerd rage." Perhaps that's scheduled for a later release.
