Re: Trackmania Nations Forever

Remember the old "stunt" driver simulator from when we were kids in the Arcade? It was the game that cost the extra quarter so you never played it. It was a kick ass simulator that had that big loop-de-loop that I could never pull off. Well this game has the same stunt feel but with an ad...

Re: Its Official, Tim Sweeney hates us

What idiot would play with intergrated graphics anyway? I could load up CS or WoW right now on just about any PC/Laptop with IG, and play with MILLIONS of other people. Not only that... but I will have smooth frame rates, and my PC will probably cost less than dinner and drinks for 4 at Appleby's. ...

Re: Its Official, Tim Sweeney hates us

*sigh*.... Yeah, Epic has been on a pretty vocal crusade against Intel's integrated graphics for years now. While I understand where Sweeney is coming from to a degree, I think that blaming Intel for the woes of PC Gaming (Epic) is incredibly self-serving and naive. Intel makes a LOT of money on int...

Re: So I installed ut3 again....

.... Purg is empty. I've sat in it for 30 minutes without a single person joining during typical "peak" times. Old UT2k4 maps are starting to trickle in which is great... but nostalgically depressing. I haven't played 2k4 since I installed UT3... but thinking about it now... Sup Sloth! I ...

Re: anyone else have an XBOX360?

I'll be able to get some of that back, but I can only go back so far. Total pain in the ass though to refile past years. No matter what, the State got a nice chunk of change off me. F the State and F TurboTax for jacking me. You get to go back 3 years... Sounds like it's probably worth it. What I w...

Re: anyone else have an XBOX360?

Well aren't you lucky... you got enough money from your tax refund to buy stuff. Know how much I got? 2 dollars. Actually... You've got it backwards. The fact that you have managed your tax return this close to a zero balance makes you much smarter (or luckier) than me. The fact that I get a chunk ...

Re: anyone else have an XBOX360?

I was thinking about getting a console with my tax refund, but I wasn't sure which one to get. I found this handy guide to help me out in the process, but it kept taking me back to a PC :?

Re: Well, my wife cheated on me...

I must be completely missing something because I don't see how the PC can't drive the most important sales. Don't have to kiss any ass to develop it and the hardware doesn't carry the risk of the console not catching on. Then add to the equation that every modern house has a PC for the internet, th...

Re: Well, my wife cheated on me...

I don't even blame Epic for shifting their focus to consoles... It is a business, and given the ever-increasing gap in console -vs- PC sales figures, I would probably do the same thing in their position. My problem is how they went about it: Concentrating on consoles does not mean that you have to s...

Well, my wife cheated on me...

...Or at least that's how I feel :( After almost a decade of addictively playing the UT series, I read this today: CiffyB at the DICE gaming summit: “I think people would rather make a game that sells 4.5 million copies than a million and “Gears” is at 4.5 million right now on the 360. I think the P...

Re: Not surprising... TAM insterest null

TAM really is a gimmick and a crutch. It adds variation to the game which is good and I enjoy it for that reason, but I completely understand why Beer hates it. One of many flaws with UT3 was leveling the playing field with game play, that's all TAM is. From Epic's POV, the probably felt like they ...

Re: Not surprising... TAM insterest null

Gah... I just don't know about Epic anymore. For a company that is supposedly so "mod friendly", they have done more to not only ignore mods/muts that they don't like, but actively change or eliminate them completely: i.e. blacklisting servers, and the TTM/UTcomp battle (Anyone who remembe...
