  1. The big names in gaming

    Well that was how it started - but everyone had fun - so Mechner took his wife and moved to Montreal for the duration. I think he ended up being responsible for the story, dialogue - and also somewhat general proof-reader kind of thing throwing ideas around - I think a bit like Sid Meier does these years...(sort of)..
  2. The big names in gaming

    Jordan Mechner (for gods sake).. You might say he isn't in the category as he is currently not working with games, but watch this table of his awesome innovativeness in relation to time: Karateka - 1986 Prince of Persia - 1989 The Last Express - 1997 Prince of Persia TSOT - 2003 So he innovates gameplay averagely every 6 years. So I predict that in 2009 he will do it again! I think he belongs here.

    ahh - ok. My interest is piqued (can interests be that?)..
  4. hickee

    Ok, I'm lazy now, but what the hick is hickee?
  5. Who are you and what have you become?

    Yay - I'm danish. I've waited for my country to become an evil (and very small and unimportant) empire. So now I'm starting La Résistance. Viva La Résistance - down with the government - wuhuu.... (seriously I would - the problem is that the real evil of Denmark is it that everything is pretend nice, thus obfuscating the real and nasty evil of ignorance in this damn country of mine).
  6. Headsmiley contest, post 'em here

    weee - my vote for this....
  7. Games Played

    hmm let's see: - Civilization IV :tup: - Out from Boneville - Pirates (revisited) - Psychonauts (revisiting) - Planescape Torment (well it's good, but I didn't have the energy to play very far) - Mean Streets (the first Tex Murphy) - Quake 4 - Max Paine 2 - Mario Kart DS - Another Code - 80 Days - Fahrenheit :tup: - Gun yep.... A lot of these I just sampled so yes - I have a life. In real world I managed to graduate - so now I'm a post-graduate in middle-eastern archaeology which is perfect seeing as I'm from Denmark (solution: get finnish passport)... Well I was also drunk a lot... woheyy
  8. Welcome (back) to the forums!

  9. Happy birthday Trep and me

    hear hear... untouched ... in spirit for sure.....
  10. PCI-Express vs. AGP?

    .. Hmm most motherboards today have AGP. Have you considered opening the box to look inside? AGP-slots is often placed at the top of the row of pci-slots (on a midi-tower anyways). It looks sort of PCI, but it is alligned a little bit different compared to the pci-ports, it is a bit smaller and often it has another colour - where pci is grey agp is brown-ish. At least at the two last rigs I had....
  11. Games of your dreams

    I had a futurama-game-dream just the other day. I was controlling bender who for some reason had a skateboard instead of feet - I was sort of controlling him with my hands (he was very small - like a bug) - in some crazy fast-paced level - kind of like the milkman level mixed with the race in Milas dance party. It got me thinking that if someone was ever to make a good futurama game it should be sort of like MDK II, where different characters has total different gameplay. ....
  12. Nerd Shirts

    hahahaha NERDS... well anyway - here is my favorite T-shirt:
  13. Neo Geo CD games worth playing?

    megacd neogeocd... whatever.... anyways I really liked it....
  14. This is really a totally unrelevant discussion - at least how it has played out until now. 'Tsune likes off-beat titles and he will sometimes tell us about them - well great. Karimi thinks some of those title are a waste of time - ok. - There is really nothing to discuss here.... just continue walking 'mam...
  15. Neo Geo CD games worth playing?

    There's the sequel to Out of This World aka Another World: 'Heart of the Alien'. Eric Chahi wasn't really involved but I found it to be very nice.
  16. San Andreas (PC)

    Ok, so I just got it. it's still lying in my backback in it virgin plastic (or whatever). Now I will just work a couple of hours on by bachelor-paper before letting myself unwrap it and play..... ahh the expectations....

  19. San Andreas (PC)

    This is very typical - I begin to write my bachelor-project in a 14 days straight session - just as this comes out. I'll have something to look forward to, but still...
  20. oh please... And how will you know which are the laws of god and which are the laws of stupid men? I know: What feels best for you - what seems right - blablabla. All of this requires that humans have a faculty somewhere that makes us able to tell right from wrong. But it is quite clear that we don't have this (if we had all religion would be superfluous) - just look everywhere around you... I could say a lot here, but I think my gist is clear. I genuinely believe that there is a lot of cleverness going on in the bible - and a lot of it is usefull for thinking about the way we live out lives. BUT everything you say could lead to everything from a nice and good way of living your life to killing people én masse. Humans are totally crazy in that way - you might even say totally Xtreme...
  21. From http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/05/18/news_6125622.html : Oh - so now you remember the last 6 years of gaming history - ah I agree that is an eternity.... fucking idiots...
