    it feels really light and flat. like a gush of wind could blow it out of my hand

    Can see why, weights like an iPhone... i waited for this phone so much, then when it came out the camera performance was quite bad compared to others, so i went with the iPhone 5s. Which also has an impressive quality and power of sound to listen music.

    Was forced to watch the Blind Side with Sandra bullock today while waiting for jury duty. It's an alright chick flick sort of, I'm mostly posting this to complain/say that Sandra bullock movies are evil

    why evil? I remember liking it.

    Hellboy a good movie? I remember the first one to be very unmemorable… the second one other story.

    And right now I haven't seen anything better than The Dark Knight.

    I love Spider-Man… I wish they would make a dark/mature version and not a movie for little kids.

    I'm confused because when the movie came out I heard that Man Of Steel was fine, then the hate wave arrived.

    I have it to watch, gonna do it in the near future and see for myself. Like sprony I never liked Mr. I Put My Underpants On Top, so I have low expectations, and as well I didn't like TDK Rising…

    Wow, it's impressive you can do all that stuff combining the existing entities!

    On the subject, i guess only testing will allow you to verify if that works or not, but if I try to picture the situation in my mind, I'd say I probably wouldn't be confident to pick it up... at least that wouldn't be my first thought! (I'd probably look for something around to burn it.)

    Hey Vivi, nice work.

    I remember this topic for the Dishonored rewire tool, i missed the Antlion buddy. I thought you were doing everyting by scripting, but to implement these new gameplay elements you must be coding it. How long have you been tinkering with code, and how long with Source's in particular?

    On topic: reading the description i thought the Radi-ant sack would be destroyed by the fire... it seems a bit counter-intuitive to be able to use it afterwards. Considering it's a sack especially, you'd expect it to explode; I'd model the entity's behaviour the way a barrel does, so catching fire and then exploding.

    As for the "picking it up" part, I'd find it especially counter-intuitive to respond to the gravity gun by "shutting down" itself, i mean even if it's easy to make up a sci-fi explanation for that... i don't think that as a player i would ever pick it up! It's dangerous, why would I. (Same reason why I never knew you could capture Man-hacks until a friend told me so [Blocked Image: http://forum.multiplayer.it/images/faccine/flush.gif])

    Different thing would be if the sack was "breathing", releasing spores when breathing out while leaving the player the time to manipulate the sack when it's breating in. At this point the player should understand it's safe to pick it up, and you can code in an increased delay or simply having the sack to close its pores anyway. Also, having an additional animated entity in the scenario would enrich the scene.

    Last thought: spores seem to be too lethal for the enemies, maybe tune it down? I also easily see the sack as a "passive" item, using it as a way to make a stand, so maybe they could mainly stun enemies like pheropods do, slowing them down. But if the sack is thrown, on impact it would release a much bigger spore-cloud, hurting every AI in range.

    Hope this makes sense

    you can throw endless marketing at a game, but if it gets sub-par reviews and doesn't have something that makes people desperate to play it (i.e. extremely well-known IP) then it counts for nothing.

    The marketing budget accounts also paying for good reviews 3:-D

    I still have to see the first Alien :$ as those movies came out before I was born or shortly after, I watched them in this order: Alien 3, 4, Aliens.

    Always waited on the first for a super director's cut box set… but then HD came along and I waited my parents to get a big TV. Since we actually got rid of ours and never replaced it, I decided to download the directors cut HD just recently and gonna watch here were I work before Isolation comes out

    I've seen Out Of The Furnace a few days ago, I'd say it's the male, and more enjoyable, version of Winter's Bone.

    I must try vine myself.

    Made another asparagus risotto today, just a tad too savoury.

    UT3 simply came out when people were dead tired of that hardcore sci-fi porn orgy of redundant pointless metal pipes* and lasers.

    All the rest might be true but average gamer doesn't care or notice… it's not like it was advertised as CPL material.

    *does anybody else remember the "pipes are the new crates" slogan?

    Warby: although I agree with the short "review", please check what I wrote about it a couple weeks ago in the Now Playing topic and let me know what you think. In short: after my first session I haven't picked it back up yet :/

    Plus: on the visual style it just undeniably borrows too much from GoW.

    Nice display Fmpone! I recently read a few roundups to see how much would it cost me for building a machine from scratch.

    How much?

    I'd jump to 27" but I'm afraid my budget wouldn't allow to get a good one so maybe better spend that money on a 24"(?).

    I hope they ditch the late "epic style"… from UT3 to GoW to Bulletstorm everything looks pretty much the same; those space soldiers with oversized boots have made their time.

    Well, you can't stop someone to resign

    For the rest nobody will know the details of their agreements, but knowing patent wars, it is not surprising they're suing. I mean, it's kinda common practice for these companies: first sue, then ask questions.
