I'm not condoning the piracy issue here, I'm just saying that its a total lame act of delaying it on the pc as an anti piracy measure.

Because it will have zero impact on the piracy. I see releases of cracked 360 games on torrent sites all the time, why didnt 360 get postponed two weeks as well?

urgaffel, can you please punch him in the balls with the back of your hand the next time he's standing right next to you?

You should preferably be sitting when you do it.

Whats wrong with beeing a little grey?

awesome skdr, simply awesome.

I think the whole point here, Sentura, is that it doesnt work if everyone thinks like you.

If everyone suddenly turned vegan, we'd probably solve alot of the worlds problems, but like you said, it just aint gonna happen. But the point is that someones gotta start doing it, and the sheep can follow later.

Quote from Furyo

To bank on some people still on the edge of purchasing it that will get it on the 360 or the PS3 early on instead of being able to play a pirated version on the PC before making their choice.And yes there are a lot more people inclined to do that than you may think. This is a very solid and sound anti piracy measure.

There is no solid and sound anti piracy measure except releasing on the same date all over world.

k, I just felt like pointing out what I thought was a little funny

I'm also in agreement with you : - )

Uh, Rick, did I read that wrong or did you just hate all the haters for saying that regenerative health is bad and defend it by saying you played on hardcore servers (were you got killed by 1 shot anyways).

?

I think Hessi got a good point, but he forgets that an Engine Programming course is not a generic class. The course is for those few select individuals that has gone through a programming course, decided that they want to be an engine programmer and then taken this course. I expect this is a final year course, since engine programming is such an in depth and hard subject to master, thus a good lecturer that has some years behind him as an engine programmer is a must.

Ask yourself this; would you be pleased with your math course if your math teacher learned how to multiply the week before he taught you how to multiply? Or would you rather have your math teacher having multiplied for nearly 10 years before he taught you how to do it?

Which reminds me, here in norway a teacher needs at least 5 years of studying math at a university to be able to teach students in high school, and you'd need to be a professor (have something published and have the professors title given to him) if you want to teach at the level Zacker here is going to teach. There is a reason why this system is implemented. And this would in programming terms would mean that you should at least have worked on a game as a lead engine programmer before you can teach others how to do it.

I can see the reason why the school is giving Zacker this opportunity, given the lack of people that are willing to do it, (since an engine programmer could potentially earn a lot of cash, compared to a teacher) and I cant fault him for saying yes to it. And I believe that, with time, these things will sort themselves out as Hourences pointed out.

It seemed well put together, I just couldn't find a reason to play it over dota. And Dota's free. And I already have Demigod...

Just the fact that if you leave after you get killed the announcer sais "RAGE QUIT!" should get you to play HoN instead of Dota.

S2 is right when they state that they felt that dota was beeing held back by the crappy b.net wc3 was on. Beeing able to join friends easily by a simple right click command, or see stats for players, or even autobalance makes playing Hon a totally different (and way better) experience than playing dota.

Also, the fact that it has more levels than dota's 1 level is awesome. (I'm loving the 3v3 map).

edit1: Also, since your cd-key (or beta invite) is all tied into your account you cant simply leave a game if you feel you've not had the best start or w/e reason quitters need to quit, because all that gets recorded and if you have left more than 10% of your games you cant join a "no leavers" game, which almost every game is.

edit2: Secondly, if you disconnect, you can just log in and join the same game again if it hasnt passed 3 minutes (or w/e), which is totally awesome, especially on LAN when someone trips and pulls out the power cord to the router.

by using my german skills and google translate i got the jizzt of what you are saying, and I dont why would you be afraid of getting dissed?

Yeah I read that on the local newspaper, appareantly most of the norwegian staff has been fired now, and the rest is moving to canada^^

It does look weird from underneath, tho, but it looks really well from the outside.

yeah dux, i preordered like 10 years ago. Whens the tools coming out????!??!+1

No offence Zacker, but as a student I hated my 3d teacher so much because I obviously had more experience than him. I couldn't believe how retarded it was that a dude with no experience at all within the field were supposed to train people. I could totally understand it if you got a teaching job teaching what you have worked as (level design, i presume?), but if you dont got any engine programming experience, then how do you except to get your students respect and attention?

I dont think they are so overly concerned with going new ways in terms of visuals, I think they just want to pay homage to the games/movies that they grew up with and thought were awesome, like Aliens and Starcraft.

hahaha AoC

Im surprised aoc didnt sink the funcom ship.

Yeah the bloom makes it look weird. Also, textures seem blurry in places.

I dont really see how "realistic combat wear" can have any meaning in a science fiction world where you kill aliens that fight with fangs and teeth.

I for one would NOT combat those aliens wearing a polyester shirt, bullet proof west with rayban sunglasses and kaki pants. I'd wear all the scraps of metal I could find.

I might have come off a bit negative there, dont get me wrong; its a game worthy of the 50$ i payed for it, its just not... as good as wow.
