Max Payne was also in development hell for quite some time. Was reading some previews a week ago in a magazine from October 1997 with a release date set in early 1998. Max Payne was using the Prey engine back then, so that should say enough. 3D Realms must be the masters of development hell.

It was just something is they quickly put together for the xmas party. I seriously doubt the Duke CG part was actual game content (the gameplay flashes of course are).

Have been doing that too lately.

there was never a piece of Willis in Duke. ps, still Jon St. John doing the voice of duke.

The first half of the game would probably be ok, just like the previous quantic dream games. Only the first parts were ok(ish). GET READY! hmm.. I wonder... Hard Rain: "GET READY FOR EMOTION!!"

Teaser isn't that great (it's really a teaser). Most of it is Duke working out. But you'll also see a few monsters: - Enforcer - a pig cop - Octobrain (looks quite impressive) - Protozoid Slimer (I think)

Mass Effect. This must have been the fastest review so far (fast as in speaking fast). I dislike long dialogs in games.

Why does Duke look like the love child of Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger?

that explain why he has been caught cheating

but ... but ... gaming is bad for the environment ... ok... point taken.

I'm not saying that at all, logic doesn't work like that. You simply can't turn around an axiom and still expect it to be sound. Environment is a very complex system, it's so complex you might as well consider it a black box. You put X in, and you observe Y (after a long while). However, you don't know if you get the same result the next time. Simple reason is that the state of the black box has changed, and there's no feedback on how X changed the state. Adding another X can have the same, the opposite or no effect. And this result can change the next time you do the same experiment. Messing with a black box when you can't restore a previous state is a dangerous thing. The environment is constantly changing, is has been since the beginning of earth. Only recently this started to become a problem. Because the humans produced complete infrastructure and what now which is not very resistant to the changes that might occur, natural or not. And this is what "we" don't want, the current state of the environment must be kept for the infrastructure to survive. Saving the environment is nothing more that trying to steer the process into the requested direction. But every action takes years before the results are observable. And because you don't know where and how much force to apply, it's a dangerous thing. Why? Because I'm wrong, or because you don't agree?

interesting thought... Anyway, I didn't really mean knowledge, or intelligence. It's just with more people you define a stricter set of principles. This is because you will pick the lowest common denominator of the principles of each member.

There are usually alternatives that are less bad, and if there are no alternatives you simply can't use that technology if you want to. And there are pretty much always viable alternatives. Ok, there is no proper alternative to traveling very long distances besides an airplane. But why is there a need to travel in the first place. There is no need for Al Gore to travel the world to promote his movie. Propaganda/information leaflets could also be printed in just black ink using recycled unbleached paper. Actually, I don't see how that works. I'm not saying it's bad to call people hypocrites. Also, there's a big difference between hypocritical people and hypocritical organizations. The latter is much worse, the former becomes worse when the person is thickheaded. It's the whole principle of "two know more than one". Also, I don't believe we can save the environment or climate. There is nothing to save. We could try to preserve the current state of it, but that's just unnatural. Environment and/or climate are not a constant thing, they are dynamic and they will always change, if we like it or not. And besides that, there is still a lot of stuff unknown or uncertain (like human CO2 production having an influence, or even CO2 being a greenhouse gas). There is a balance of energy, the harder you push the environment (in any direction) the harder it pushes back. It just takes a long time, the environment is slow.

Absolutely not, a shed is not environment friendly, they would probably use wood as fuel for fire to prepare their dinner and as heating. Burning wood produces a shit load of CO2, also it's very inefficient. Nah, not just that... Al Core also tells a lot of lies and half-truths. People that violate the same principles they preach are hypocrites. Simple definition. If you complain about certain electronics being environment unfriendly (not that "environment friendly" even exists, but that's not the point), then you should not use said electronics in the first place. GreenPeace complained about the bad environment policies at Apple, yet they used Apple computers during their press conferences. Also the promotional stuff they handed out during their campaigns at Apple conferences was full color printed stuff on glossy coated paper, which is quite environment unfriendly (and difficult to recycle). Also this greener electronics campaign contains quite some lies. Nintendo's hardware is environment unfriendly because they didn't provide all the information Greenpeace wanted.

And making that movie is also bad for the environment or whatever. I might listen to what greenpeace has to say if they were's such hypocrites.

bah humbug... funny movie

I wonder what effect that will have on this writing

Could be worse, could have been Warrior Within.

I didn't think the character in image 101 was weird, well, not weirder than the disappearing floss of death between head and body

how did the Halloween contest end?

I usually pick up everygame that looks interesting and has a price tag below 10 euros. I think I have about 50 games not finished or not even started. Currently still working on Wheel of Time and the Phantom Hourglass (only play the DS in the train and at my parents, so that's not a lot).

bah.. humbug Anyway, there's also irfanview, Paint.Net, etc.

You Can't Spell Assassin Without ... breaking some eggs. I can't believe Yahtzee liked PoP:WW... that game was seriously shit.

er... what!? ok.. that's fucked up... anyway, I think think you should leave very young kids alone out of reach of a baby monitor.
