Oh, the hubris. But whatever. Fuck that guy.

I dunno about that. The promise and premise of the movie, i.e.

Don't forget Chinatown, man.

What do people even think by "small team" nowadays anyway? Less than ten? Less than twenty? Will they hire an army of professionals once the shit gets rolling, like movie production companies do?

Just like Jesus would've wanted it. :/

What exactly did the dude do to make himself the butt of the internet?

Nah, dates don't match up. The Puppo is younger than Ada's mystery litter. Besides the little one is pitch black and kindof terriery/labradorish whereas Ada is more pitbullish/mystery something with huskey eyes. Plus they were found in different parts of town, not too far apart, but far apart enough.

fhwCErELHoA I am confused.

All's well here too. Don't let my cheeriness distract you from your anger, depression and self-loathing. So here's a jolly story: A couple of weeks ago we got a dog. She's a rescued mutt with some pitbull in her, about five years old, a fairly quick learner even though she doesn't seem to ever have been trained before. She was discovered by friends of ours covered in ticks and fleas, emaciated and recently pregnant. They looked for her litter but couldn't find it, so they nursed her to health and then gave her to us, since they couldn't keep her and we were in the process of buying a house. She was probably abused by her previous owners, or bums in the street or whoever. Early on, every time I would pick up a broom or a dowel rod, she would fold her tail and hide in the corner. She got a lot better since. Still, she hardly ever barks. That is a mixed blessing. I'm gonna link to this facebook photo, I hope it shows up. So, this is Ada: And then a couple of weeks after we got Ada, a puppy followed us home from a walk. We kept knocking on doors asking people if this was their puppy or if they knew whose it is, and people figured it just got dumped in the neighborhood. We cleaned her up, deflead and deticked her. We panicked for a while, tried to get her into all these no-kill shelters in town, all of which were full, since we reasoned we couldn't and wouldn't want to take care of a puppy. We finally got her into this lady's farm animal sanctuary place a short ride south of town... but then a day later I felt emo for dropping her off at the puppy orphanage so I went back and got her. Now we have two dogs. This is the fresh puppy, named The Puppo: So the moral of this story is that it feels good to be an adult and not have to do the responsible adult things with the stray animals that follow you home.

I would not complain if made the little duders more stylized, closer to animated pewter or wood game pieces rather than little weirdly scaled naturalistic people and machines of war. They can give them a little pedestal and stuff. Could be neat!

I absolutely agree with all of the above. All of it. Gaming Press = Audience on The Price is Right.

I think Lobotomy's Synopsis is the name of the next James Bond movie.

Nothing works as well as a juicy ad hominem attack to make an old codger way past his prime realize the error of his ways. :tup:

Woo, Serbia-Germany, 1-0. Group D is getting messy.

Hooray to/for this sentence, but you forgot a verb. Maybe we're just getting old.

I would imagine it's because he is an asshole. It is exactly the same quality of cutnpaste jokery. It was a completely pointless mailing list. At least Dave Grossman writes a poem a week for his mailing list.

I can't stand Al Lowe. Early in high school (which was ten years ago, holy shit, I am old), I was on his joke mailing list. They were all awful mean-spirited, right-wing jokes made from a position of power. Took me a while to realize that they weren't funny. I would rather TellTale do nothing like LSL, ever. Fuck that guy.

Your object solution is just bizarre and I am not entirely sure what it is you did there. PHP is a scripting language. The server (say, Apache) is told to read the files with the php extension as scripts and execute them. The stuff that is not php will be output as if it were plain html. Stuff that looks like C code will be executed in much a similar way as C gets executed. So, php allows you to interweave complex commands and dynamic elements with plain static html elements. That is all. The line of code that Drath suggested basically tells the server which is serving the content to the client, When you get to this point in the content, drop whatever blob of text you find in this other file as if it is content of this first file that the client asked for. The visitor doesn't know that you linked to another file, the shit happens entirely on your server, for your benefit; namely, now you have one menu file to edit and it updates across all pages that include it. When you visit the site on the front end, through your browser, and click VIEW PAGE SOURCE, the source you will see will be the one cobbled together from all the disparate files that you've included. The PHP will never show up in this view, since it has been executed by the server. You should also consider having a header and footer in their own files, so that each requested page only has content, and the rest of the elements are standardized.

It is hard to come up with truly interesting other. They're borrowing heavily from The Thing playbook. It is more inspired than your average up-side-down heads with spider legs, but still... meh.

Oh, cool stuff, thanks. /me bookmarks I just noticed something I forgot to mention: if you decide to go with jQuery/AJAX, the menu file doesn't have to be a proper html document with all the <html><head></head><body> Blargh </body></html> stuff. You just need to put in the <ul> that you want to insert or whatever.

Ooh, that looks neat. And useful.

I JUST GOT HERE!

I really dislike that sloppy Macromedia vector look. But this stuff doesn't seem to suffer any due to it.

WOW. This is so unexpectedly misogynistic. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the game industry is, but I seem to have somehow forgotten how much. For some reason I thought that stuff had moved away from exclusively targeting crass teenage man-children with all the marketing and whatnot. Who is this Kevin Butler person anyway?

Discovery? Exploration? Just for the sake of it.
