Believe or not, but pirates often simply deliver better service than the publishers Surely a seldom case, but it reminds me of what happened to a well known audio application a few years ago: The cracked version took about 10-20% less CPU time - the crackers removed all the highly (runtime) encrypt...

@tempsanity: Even though if, I think its worth to have that game in your board :). But, there was no extra shipping cost denoted in the invoice I've got after I've ordered the full version. Maybe it was already included in the price, but it didn't felt much if it was (I'm living in Europe too). @BW:...

A friend lately handed me a book called "The Mammoth Book Of Extreme Science Fiction". It was released in 2006 in the UK. Well I'm reading it right now in conjunction with a dictionary ;), but the stories are damn fine imho. Best, Elstyr PS: I like RR.Martins song of ice and fire the best regarding ...

Hi there, I agree with azkiel's demand. Playin' as a north rogue with focus of arching and bludgeoning weapons & shields for my fighting skills (nearly no magic skills - don't comment this please ;)) I guess I went already a hundred of times through the "x+click+click+x+enter" job and I'm still not ...

FYI: I'm playing 'Book I' on a MacBook 2GHz, 2GB RAM, 10.5.2, OGL fullscreen. I've experienced two significant slowdowns yet, both in the "Central Tangletree Forest". One at the upper right area of the map (if you go straight westwards from the West Grimmhold teleporter) and the other one in the low...

Thanks for the link BW, very interesting stuff. I haven't knew that they had so much problems with TQ. I by myself bought it, played it through and was happy. As my beginning times are far gone (my first PC games were in 1987), I've totally lost track about warez already in the middle of the 90s. To...

@Saxon: for sure, drawing maps gave me a much deeper connection to a game. I planned my next steps, tactics way more intensively, created escape plans, developed the shortest routes to important landmarks. Thinking above a paper plan, not in front of a screen, a whole different thing and increases c...
Burntime
Anyone played/playing this classic too? I know, there was a remake in the pipe (burntime.org), but it seems to be almost dead. So I'm stuck with the original inside DosBox.

WoW is an example, how women can become addicted to games too. In my friend-circle there are two couples playing WoW like hell. They're both married and, erm, if the female part wouldn't play the game I think the marriages would've been divorsed, just a guess ;). I remember the days when we've playe...

Creating a good story, developing the player- and game-concept into the deepest detail - that takes the most time, and that's the most valuable work to do. Way before the development starts (except of some concept arts, concept code etc.). Since you've got a very detailed script, it is so much easie...
