This video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvPa_yEEd4E] shows what it's like inside a wildfire. Really gets across how these things are basically fast hot storms that power themselves as long as they have something to burn.

Sadly, you are both underestimating the power of lazy coding. The functions that are causing this issue don't look for the windows Major and Minor versions, they instead parse the OSname. And located here is a list of open source example of this form of lazy code, so you can see just how...

My money would be on Luke as well. That way every trilogy would have a Jedi mentor character die in the first film. Qui-Gon > Obi-Wan > Luke. Plus, if needed, you can always get him back to cameo as a ghost.

Pushing the similarity further is the fact that Homeworld Cataclysm had the pilot view. This game basically looks like someone used that view and then thought "why isn't this a game?" Which, now that I think about it, is a damn good question. I shall allow this.

That title could probably use an edit, as I'm reasonably sure "contine" is not a word. That aside, I'll be sad to see Majesco go. They brought me some good times over the years.

Dear Gearbox, What about Homeworld Cataclysm? It was awesome. Sure, it wasn't developed by Relic, but that's no reason to not give me Siege Cannon and Beast Infection goodness! Don't forget it dammit!

But unlike id, Havok isn't a games developer. This allows them to concentrate entirely on creating great tech for developers to use in interesting new ways. It's why I suspect that the market for middleware will continue to grow in importance this generation, as it frees up developer resources...

What's in the box? Schrödinger's cat. It's dead. Curiosity killed it.

Sadly, as stated in the Three Moves Ahead podcast [http://www.idlethumbs.net/3ma/episodes/the-alpha-centauri-show], Alpha Centauri 2 is never going to happen. The rights to the IP are caught in a legal tieup between Firaxis and EA, with the contract apparently saying that no sequel can be...

Even if they had made all of the files themselves, if they had done it while working for AMD then they can't take the files with them. AMD paid them to make the files, the files are AMD's. It's not like they made the files in their spare time while working with AMD. Making those files is...

My little brother did this exact thing when he was much, much younger. Though, looking at our Polish fellows head bandage, he at least had the good sense to drop the iron immediately, and so only suffered minor burns and a lifetime of mocking. Mind you, he also drank a large amount of malt...

I would punch this professor in the face, but I'm having too much fun playing violent videogames.

And I am quoting your quote of Irridium's quote. Just to impress on how awesome that would be. Though, if possible, with less warehouses.

Ahh, good old Peter Molyneux. Over-promising and Under-delivering since 1997. Still, I didn't expect the disappointment from this title to hit until someone had seen the center of the cube. I guess even Molyneux didn't expect many people to be interested in this particular strand of crazy.

I don't think it's a typo. Jake Solomon's career now includes a stint as a game salesman at Power Gamer.
