Re: Shareware: The Past and Future of PC Gaming

I got into computing in the 1980s, when shareware came on floppy disks -- 5 1/4" and later 3 1/2" -- through mail order. I remember the thrill of a disk arriving in the mail, more often than not it was an exciting, pleasant experience to have new software. Shareware was a way for talented ...

Re: Good morning :)

Grah

My fault, sorry. :( I got seduced by the lack of mention of pharmaceuticals, porn or prostitutes in the message. I fail. :(

Re: Warrior Rabbit

You can get tag-compatible youtube links by pressing the small "Share" button under the video. It will open a text field with a basic URL to the video. Whenever I do that, Youtube always sticks a tag in like &feature=related or embedded or some crap. I am always having to manually rem...

If anyone at Wolfire wants you to deface wikipedia articles, I'd be sorely disappointed.

Re: i suddenly stumbled upon phoenix engine in wikipedia...

Guys, do not delete the information on the Relic engine of the same name. That is making this into an edit war.

Re: My Take and Suggestion on the Rabbits

Just an uninformed ijit's opinion here, but I think the finer details will be worked in gradually. The game is not even in beta state yet. I have no reason to doubt they will not put some serious spit and polish on it, including expressions ... but I think its important they put in the stuff that wi...
