@spar - it's quite common that parachutes have holes in them ;)

I heard that military parachutes have holes designed to drop faster than civilian ones. Basically they just slow you down enough so that you don't break your legs if you know how to land right. If you came down at a nice leisurely pace, you'd be more likely to get shot in the air. :)

It's also for stability.

If you can't turn off that retarded glowing I won't play it. Otherwise it looks great!

 

It could be a bit more subtle, but I don't mind it that much. Certainly wouldn't stop me playing it.

With some of the Ion employees transplanted as well: it would've been a lot better. :(

All the ones responsible for Deus Ex's greatness ;)

 

This desperately needs to be the next coming of a truly excellent action FPSRPG ala System Shock 2, Vampire Bloodlines, etc...

 

Apparently there is interactive relationships between the NPC's, called the splicer (crazy scarecrow lady with a pair of hand-scythes), and a paired relationship called little sister/Big Daddy

Loose BOWELS are the first sign of THE CHOLERA MORBUS!

Have you ever played any of the KOTOR games? They're really good. If you have an XBox360 then watch out for Mass Effect by the same folk. They did Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate, KOTOR 1. The only sort of less then excellent game they've done is Jade Empire.

"What can I say, I'm a jerk. A three times all American Jerk, from Jerksville, Kentucky. Yee Haw"

As soon as we get the video from 2K Games, we'll post this IGN exclusive at our regular posting time, about 6:30 pm, on Wednesday, September 20. Stay tuned.

It's past 6:30pm Wednesday already in my time zone, where's my video???!

 

US-centric bastards. :( I don't even know what timezone they're in (I guess US Eastern? maybe???), so I can't do the conversion. I hate it when they do that.

 

It's like when they do the seasons thing: "Coming this Spring!" Oy, which spring? Okay, so they don't want to give a specific month - no worries, just substitute "Coming late 2006" or "Coming Q3 2006". Then everyone wins, ya?

 

(Thankfully you can usually tell pretty easily, because only Americans are self-centred enough to distribute videos around the world that contain hemisphere-specific dates.)

Man, IGN's streaming sucks. Play for 10 seconds, pause for 15 seconds. Play for 10 seconds, pause for 15 seconds. Is it too much to ask to buffer the whole thing before starting to play it? And if you pause it manually to allow it time to buffer, it stops buffering. It's worse than Windows Media Player, and that's saying something!

 

And then they insist on showing me unskippable high-resolution ad videos before letting me do anything; stream, download, anything. I don't mind the occasional image or text ad, but STOP WASTING MY BANDWIDTH. :angry:

 

Can't find it anywhere else though. :/ Sigh. Currently my speakers are turned off and the bandwidth-munching advertisement is playing in the other tab while I wait for it to let me download.

 

I hate IGN.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
