I went with King Arthur's Gold instead. It seems pretty damn cool so far.

I'll admit I was a bit too abraisive with the comment, but still he doesnt exactly seem like a nice person to me for various reasons, some of which can be seen here: http://4playernetwork.com/static/media/uploads/Developers/Polytron/sh1CZqk.png

MacD11 sure, man. My point is still: there are people who ignore it when they get bashed online, then there are people who bite back... He's the latter type. Like it or not he's at least not afraid to say what he's thinking. Bluntly, apparently. xD People have ruthlessly attacked him for this very reason too, which I just find absurd because combine a person with a short temper with a bunch of "internetizens". It's gonna get heated quickly.

Why did you do some work on GR jaxa..?
-
Saw Grimrock 1 on discount on steam and decided to buy it. Fun game, thus far. It's been a while after Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos...
-
*thanks for showing us this cool sequel

Haha now I get it too!

Haha, I got it right away. Very funny.

(We can leave the thread for journalism corruption, but just on this...) Then the issue in academia is money flowing to the more corruptable fields like science & engineering with the big corporate grants & revolving door with staff. The humanities might not get that, but OTOH they are getting pressured to "justify their existence" financially. I could probably agree it's rife in almost any human field though, as long as there are incentives there will be corruption.
-
Or then we have the "uncorruptable" critical academics, but then they're basing their work on Derrida or Marx and are so detached from reality they throw their credibility out the window. It's good to be critically detached, not so good to be derailed from reality. My position in law sometimes is something like a critical realism, but it's practically an orphan position. (You want to protect victims *and* think science works??? Wha...?)
-
Who is uncorruptable anyways? I cannot convince even myself that I would be uncorruptable in every situation. And I perceive myself to be situated in the more-reliable-than-50%-of-the-general-population side in the gaussian distribution curve of corruption. Problematic, yes?
-
Gecko's new texture pack looks cool in game:
-
I'd say some things look nice, but some things really don't!! It's still great though Thief can do HD textures now...
-
I think for te most part he has a good eye for what matches the old textures, I did notice a bunch of miss-alignments and such, but I imagine these will get ironed out in testing.
-
Some of them do act as phenomenal replacements, but others are so drastically different that they make for a completely different feeling. Still, very nice.

Google's homage to Stanisław Lem and The Cyberiad at http://www.google.com/ : a must-see!

But def. very cool.
-
Oh man, the guy is a commedian! Very cool indeed (even though I never liked dungeon crawlers in my childhood).
-
And a new, more stable version is out: http://www.filedropper.com/grimoiredemov12

To Quote Slyfox "I stood in the start spot for five minutes just soaking it all in. I felt the rain on my head, the grit of the cobble stones, sniffed the smoke from a hundred chimneys. THIS is why we're all still here after so many years. So chock full 'o thiefy goodness!"
-
I didn't realize you were speaking about Skacky's mission?!?! I've been looking forward to this for awhile.
-
Ha. Turned on HDR and had worse FPS than TDM. Had to fiddle quite a bit to compromise between visuals and performance.

I get the following error message when loading the wiki: " Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/tdmwiki/public_html/includes/objectcache/SqlBagOStuff.php on line 195" Anyone confirm?
- Show previous comments 1 more
-
Yes. And some pages also give me the error: Fatal error: Call to a member function numRows() on a non-object in /home/tdmwiki/public_html/includes/objectcache/SqlBagOStuff.php on line 439
-
I see about five of those lines at the top of the page and then the rest of the wiki loads. ctrl-F5 doesn't fix it for me.
-
it something to do with updating php on a server but leaving the old settings for previous version which are not compatible with the new php version.

I got that multistate elevator to work! Woo-hoo!

You know there is a prefab for it? But I'm excited, too. ;D

Yeah, but nothing like learning it for yourself ;-)

Huh? How does that happen?

i thought SOPA got thrown out... this should not be happening.

John Romero is about to make you his bitch... again! http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/10/04/wizardry-anachronox-devs-kickstart-old-school-rpg/ (plus: Brenda Brathwaite and Tom Hall are involved! Holy moly!)

Like bigger budget for hireing more team, spending extra on voice-overs, and more assets.
-
This guy has reputation, he could have made a more convincing kickstarter...
-
holy shit it's Tom Hall

A lot of games fail due to incompetent designers or bad project management. I mean, John got his ass handed to him, and was relegated to making mobile games for, what, fourteen years now? The man has paid his dues.
-
The Looking Glas developers laid off probably think otherwise. But yeah, 14 years mobile game developmentis cruel
-
All granted, but he's already a walking punchline. I don't know whether to look forward his game or not, but I still find that sheepish smile & shrug funny. He's yesterday's news and knows it. He's not trying to deny it.

Jupiter Hell from the makers of the excellent Doom: the Roguelike is now on Kickstarter. Hyped! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2020043306/jupiter-hell-a-modern-turn-based-sci-fi-roguelike

Killed horribly in my own mission. Oh, the humanity!

This means that you must release it now.

I think I'll have a test package ready tomorrow or something like that.
-
I just did the same last night when testing progress on the rebuild of my first map.

Man-oh-man, the new ambience trailer for The Black Parade is such a thing of beauty...

In what way were they better?
-
Tarhiel: they would agressively look for "vantage points" to keep their distance and get a better shot at you, and as a consequence, were harder to catch.

I`m so excited about `Black Parade`. Finally a campaign. And it looks awsum.
