  1. http://www.gamesradar.com/exactly-how-many-studios-has-activision-closed-generation-exactly-many/
  2. Right but the open source drivers will never help in this case: the rentiers did they work well with the legal system. Even if the open source is superior in all other ways (it isn't), you can't actually use it to play games!
  3. It's not good news. It's going to encourage DRM (even hardware drm longterm) since that is the only way for a 'reseller' to legally 'sell' a digital game. And think of the indies that usualy sell digital versions: now they have to keep records forever for when a customer wants to 'resell' a game - which means they'll be pushed towards platforms that have that like steam or not make the game available in europe at all since they don't have the resources to comply with the law. What happens when a company goes belly up? Even if the game is 'unlocked'? The last guy holding the game is forbidden to sell it since there is no more DRM platform to assure single ownership? who is supposed to keep the records of ownership? It's a burecratic nightmare, distributed version without hardware DRM. With it, it's just a nightmare, full stop. This is if they don't stop 'selling' games altoghter and start 'subscribing'. After all, if they are going to keep databases, might as well do that anyway. Artificial scarcity imposed from on high... good luck suckers
  4. It fixed 'technical' bugs, but not the scripts bugs. Yet. Compare with the Bloodlines Unofficial patch/Circle of 8 for ToEE, which fix most script bugs but can't do anything about the fucked up exe bugs I wish one of these rpg projects (gemrb, arx libertatis, openmw, daggerXL) evolves into a scummvm/residual like with a large team. Bloodlines and ToEE really need it.
  5. You don't have to kill anyone in Deus Ex. ANYONE!!!* In fact, it's the best way to see some 'hidden' dialogs in the game (the other best way being saving all the people you can, which are about 3 or 4 IIRC). * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hsh24FmYlNQ **Even if it looks like a bug, It has a bit of additional text with Gunther later on the cathedral - it was probably a cut possibility - though it IS possible to knock her out (but very very hard). *** *** you actually 'kill' npcs when the missile you need to launch into area 51 hits. Annoying but probably at that time they were screaming 'SHIP IT' on the meetings.
  6. software patents encouraging innovation since the 90's
  7. Activision probably imposed from on high the 'auction house' model for Diablo 3.
  8. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-...lan-sale-of-stake-in-activision-blizzard.html Ohoh, wil zynga own ActiveSion?
  9. I thought HD was radeon model. Figures it's some shitty acronym branding.
  10. Use the binary drivers. sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates && sudo aticonfig --initial
  11. Hitman 4 is 3-rd person by defaul, but there is a movement mode in first person. However, once you do certain actions you default to 3rd again (it's annoying) Great game though. The disguises and 'accidents' are fun. Last level annoyed me though

      HAHAHAH The last one is my favorite

       

  12. Would be nice to link the animation to a sound effect (wind rustling obviously).
  13. I like it when the missions are small. Are the most highquality/tilable/often used textures going to be part of the mod?
  14. Try the path of exile beta (10$ to play the beta, will be free2play (grrrrr), vs 60$+action house shennigans of D3). It's supposedly much better than diablo 3 (not that i play that kind of game)
  15. Ahahahha http://files.shareholder.com/downlo...50c8d268/ERTS_Wedbush_03082012_Transcript.pdf
  16. I wonder if the separate head movement was ever tried with two mouses
  17. what if i don't want to read my language in the mod menus? IE: please don't automatically set it to 'default locale' or something. Or, if you do, please give me the option to permanently change it back to english.
  18. If you think something like this is better, why not make darkradiant have that as default instead of the current system?
  19. For 'dirtying up' roads; how about a seed for puddles & weeds & mud? Something like alpha masks for the relevant textures where puddles (edges of the road, with low probability), or another for weeds (cobble edges, moss or single small weeds, adjustable probability - since more rustic roads will have more weeds than city roads). Of course, i'm armchair generaling here.
  20. Try this lone wolf game book reader: it's free and awesome. Go to the options and turn off the dice animations to get shorter combat too. (and fullscreen) http://www.projectaon.org/staff/david/
  21. If you like this series you'll probably like the Eli Monpress books. Slightly cornier and not quite as good but the same archetype of a scammer-thief.
