      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.

      @jay pettit: There is an uncanny resemblance, plus it is an example of a symbol of power ripping up the city fabric.

       

      @Bikerdude: I can probably think of a hundred better ways to spend Ł25 in London...

      I use malwarebytes but the last time I ran it, it also found nothing and it had been 6mo. or so since I'd run it.

      Both Spybot and Malwarebytes are not required if you have descent branded AV and are careful. I did a scan and what it found was next to to pointless, some flash objects and a cookies.

      Considering Steam's webpage got nailed not too long ago, you can't "be careful" when even legit sites can become attack vectors.

      Yeah, that's the thing that hits me. Some people prefer linearity, okay. But to claim Doom-style maps are somehow "too complicated" or "not fun"? That weirds me out.

      The game companies used to be good at controlling the small number of Magazines that offered reviews. Now, with so many review sites, they have changed strategies. I am not sure that the article really reflects the true root of mediocrity here. Were publishers ever willing to risk divisive artistic games? At least now, there is a fact-check against pure shilling. Sounds more like a critic raging against the the dilution of his craft. Point taken about the poor deals given to developers over t...

      stumpy

      some are being ruined, seen loads of reviews where the first bits of text read 'i dont like this type of game so i've given it a low score' so if a games company only see's the score then that game is likely to get binned.

      It's got a black humor. Just the very premise... You play an official in a police state, haha, so wrong... Only an indie game could get away with that. FWIW, I remember feeling for E.Europe in the '80s & being endlessly fascinated to meet & talk to people from there... And now we can. =)

    3. Diego

      The premise seems like something out of a joke. "What would be the most boring game ever? How about dealing with bureaucratic paper work of some communist republic?" A developer that can turn that into something interesting is a god!

  19. 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.
