I'm for puritanical nonsense myself

But that's just it - it was wasted on me becausee I never had the impression of a smooth transition. On the contrary, I always thought it was instant, and so I accepted the instant variety in TDS just fine. Though I do like the door acceleration and other good Dark Engine features that they did well.

That's crazy. I mean, I believe you, but situations like this ought not to happen nowadays! Couldn't you burn a bootable CD on one comp to use for the other?

Yeah, the feel in the industry right now seems to be an evolutionary shift to more breadth rather than more direct power/speed. I think the driving factor is smaller portable devices, such as cell phones, iPods, new mini-laptops, smart-toys, etc. So that a lot of the research of low power consumption/low heat/small size stuff can be applied across a larger market.

I've never noticed a fade hilight in Thief, but I'll check again... EDIT - Well, I can see it now. When I hilight a door it VERY quickly lights up, almost instantly, so it's hard to tell, but then moving away I can definitely see the fade out. It is also quick, much less than a second of course, perhaps 1/10 or 2/10 of a second. I don't mind insta-hilight though, since the fade times were so very short I never really noticed until I looked for it just now.

Dude, you should ditch that floppy drive, taking up space man!

Yeah, the hybrid hilight is the best version

But in that case the "What the taff!?" would still work

They could just say a very generic line such as "aw crap!" or "what the taff?!" or something.

Those were very excellent, I read them all! I am a very indepent person so I sometimes have all of the problems on the list - clutter, lack of drive, procrastination, ineffiecient use of time, etc. My favourite articles were "Do it Now" and "Overcoming Procrastination" - I found them very appealing and they got me excited on the possibilities of really making things better for myself! Thanks for the links!

But I have two popup-blockers (built in IE and Google bar) which work very well to block all other popus so I don't get any anywhere else, only imageshack, so I just figured they had some new tricksy malicious kind of pop-up. But like I said, I haven't converted yet, implying that I probably will sometime

So is that like a minstrel without any hands?

I use IE, haven't converted yet...

Actually, from case studies I've read it would seem that the theories of thieves grappling the gun from you or shooting you first are not very common. Most of the time when a victim has a gun and pulls it, the thief either runs away or stops in fear. It is rare to be hurt when you pull a gun on the bad guy. But, it's true, you ARE more likely to get hurt than if you simply give him what he wants. I'm just saying that, as I undestand it, the risk is unlikely, as opposed to "most likely" as the above posts make it sound.

Tons of viscious popups! I have two popup-blockers running and still some of the imageshack ones make it through, though I hear two or three clicks of others getting blocked every time I open up a pic.

Those look really great! But can we please BAN imageshack!

Great movie! Here's another host link: TDM_final_Xvid.zip

I hate imageshack, and that brick texture is so-so, but... It looks good, some good work there, thanks for sharing

I'm getting the same thing

? I think you have me mixed with someone else... ? EDIT - Nevermind, I totally forgot about my pregnant-with-cat pic! The thing is, lately my wife and I are trying to get pregnant, and so the term that I'm pregnant isn't too far from my reality because we usually refer to it as "us" trying to get pregnant, not just her.

Happy B-Day! how young? (I'm 30)

I had no idea martial arts came from Germany! (he DID say "ironically"...) Just teasin ya

Ah, excellent!

I always play Doom 3 with player shadow on! It's so much more immersive to me to see my shadow move along the opposite wall from the light, or things like that. It's one of the strengths of TDS to me

I remember watching my brother play the original Might and Magic back in like 1986 or whatever. I don't remember anything sci fi about it, it seemed to me to be pure fantasy, like Pool of Radiance, Bard's Tale, Wizardry, etc. Am I wrong?
