Quote from Fletchsome people need to be shot. the developers of this are a few of them.
yes, so instead of going out and getting some action in real life, I shall spend hours on this game only to end up alone or with some chick taht is really a 43 year old Trucker Named Earl.
Quote from Urbanfrom The_Postmans weblink... hahaha... i think it is.. that slut
my power supply left me last night. D: After 2+ glorious years it decided to leave me while I was over at mike's watching movies. I'm ok though, I went and picked up a better looking one today and its a WHOLE lot better than my old one will ever be.
Last time this happened, power struggles happened, people became jackasses and it just did not work.
What you suggest has happened twice already: First when Mapcore originally started (that was the whole idea behind) and Secondly a year or two later. The first ideration of Mapcore lasted a good 4-5 months before inevitably crumbling and falling apart. The Second Coming of Mapcore just fall on its face when the Starting Gun Fired and was never able to get back on its feet. That is why we just have the Channel and until recently these forums.
I hardly see people helping when I have been in the channel. I know there a few people that try to help, but I can recount numberous times when someone asking a question is called a "fag0ty n00b" or is pointed into the Direction of Goatse instead of helpful tutorials.
A lot of the tutorials we would have on this site would have already been covered on numberous other sites (BeyondUnreal for Unreal and Loads of other HL sites for Half-Life).
Its a good idea, but in the long run it would never work since people are lazy.
exactly thirk and spine. I know people leech and therefore check my logs everyday to find out what gets through. Its a fact of life that people leech and there is nothing I can do to stop them. I just want Mapcore to have a more mature and respectable feeling by not leeching from other people.
Quote from MrH2oWHAT ?Sorry to break it to you buts thats bs, internet is made for to be used, and if you dont wont otherpeople to see your files, then dont upload it to a public adress then,imean wft, we had a leaked video in our topic awhile ago.
The internet was made to host your own files, not host your files so millions of others can look at the for free. That is way Porn Sites (most of them) charge money for content. There are some people that allow people to freely look at their pictures and such and have these open directories. But when you get thousands upon thousands of people downloading files from your site (causing you lots of money in going over your limit of bandwidth), then its a real pain in the ass.
I used to keep my site upon to teh public, meaning anyone could go into the Downloads Directory at http://www.theposse.org and could just watch any video they wanted. Until recently, when I began putting up some 20-40MB videos (mainly for my friends and the people of Mapcore), things began to get out of hand. Links to my website would appear in Greek and Russian Gaming sites, each site causing about 50-100 downloads, sometimes even more. This ends up being a few Gigs of transfer, which in the long run causes my site to run out of its alloted monthly Transfer. Since we run a few sites off this 100GB, running out of transfer means lots of sites stop working.
An Example of this is this. An Internet site represents a car and monthly transfer equals gas/petrol in the car. The "car" uses the "gas" to get from Point A (The Beginning of the Month) to Point B (The End of the Month). Luckily for the "car," it has enough "gas" to make it from point A to B, enough to even have some left over. When you start talking this car's gas (stealing bandwidth), you are not allowing the "car" to get to its destination.
If you remember the sand video from a long long time ago - http://www.theposse.org/webalizer/usage_200311.html - that little video ran us close to 1/3 our total bandwidth for one month with aobut 8000 hits. The link was on so many god damn sites that we finally said enough to leeching and imposed strict rules on our server. As you can see when that video was up, we were averaging about 7GB a day during that period. With the new messures in place we now go through about 10GB per month (mainly since have no big files going through right now).
I am not going to discuss this further since right now the link you posted is only 2MB. But when you get 10 people showing that link to 10 friends who show it to 10 more friends, that is 1000 people that have watched the file, or about 2GB.
One Last Example:
Places like Fileplanet and FileShack, are like Buses and are open to the public. Anyone can use their service for free and its not stealing. This is because they have ads and shit that you have to watch through before accessing their content, so they get paid no matter what. When you post their content outside of their site (like I have seen in the BiA threads), then that is stealing since the site is not making any money on the content being access (Of course this is partially their fault for not guarding their files to not be accessed outside of their site).
But private sites, are more like personal cars and trucks. You just don't want strangers getting in your car and driving around the country without your permission (Yes, as i said before there are some people that want you to use their content without their permission and I have no quarrel with that).
I just don't want Mapcore to be know as a bunch of carjackers that don't refuel the car when they are finished with it.
Quote from Urbanone word for this guy....OWNED!
More like Old. Seen the video a while ago. And MrH2o I wouldn't really be linking files that come from sites affiliated with SA (Something Awful) and linking to movies that are on sites that are not your own. Taking other people's bandwidth is just not cool (leeching images from other places, linking to large files on people's servers that aren't your own*, etc)
Its not that I don't like SA, I am infact a great advocate of it, but its more the fact I have seen first hand what people do to image leechers and the like during my times at SA, so this is just a word to the wise. Plus Stealing is stealing. I think I might add this to the rules somewhere after a chat with mikey
* - Gamespy and other major Download Centers are ok since that is what they are there for. But people frown on people that they don't know using up their bandwidth.
Bless Firefox for skipping code.
By doing that you miss the entire page, dumbass
So I stumbled across these links at Something Awful while I was awaiting my work to get finished. Its just a collection of a lot of one liners such as "Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!" and "You're the man now, Dog." Up to more Recent ones like "Is Wayne Brady going to have to choke a bitch?"

Now just don't go post links that are at gotn00b and YTMND.com. But feel free to link to other sites that aren't linked there.

Wish I had the time to animate this and host it
or should I say 
can't get enough of the smiley love 
I might add that
and countless others, have been posting news about this. The link to the IGN page was about a week ago or so. But back to getting shit done.
its a good thing its not BS, seeing it being worked on it for the past month that I have been here at Gearbox, and the countless months before my arrival. Glad to hear that its still in production.
Last Year, Holeman was Wolverine. This year he is Jack Black.
I think its more of the fact that since some of us access these forums at work, to have those types of images appear does not work well for us.
that movie is rather rather RATHER old.
not to say that it isn't a bad movie though, just you were beaten by 9-11 I think.
"if you get good writing and acting, that can totally be reversed." Is the Truth.
It can't be like what you were writing "Yo Bitches get me a motehr fucking Tank, Peace out foo!!" But something like Jack Bauer would say "I'm going to need a tank ASAP/Pronto in order to past this area." Of course Jack Bauer is the new MacGuyver, so Jack just needs a paperclip and a rubberband and he can get past any guard/henceman.
In any game the voice actiing needs to work, regardless of if its thirdperson or first. Shitty VO can ruin a game, even if the graphics are top notch.
Games of the future should have voice recognition, although then it would ruin a lot of plot development, especially with kids telling the female characters to take off their clothes.
Good Luck Zappy, I wish you all the best. Plz write.
well good luck to you Zap, have fun going back to School. I guess we will always have our IRC Channel.
why was this thread made?
but since this is offtopic and not the "Make sense" Forums I shall allow it. Begin Round 2 ... Fight
