| Whoa, hows that for a thread title?
Anyways ... I sleep in boxers, and baggy pajama pants when it's cold. I've attempted to sleep in the nude a few times, but honestly it just ... doesn't feel right.  |

| March 11, 2005 - As GDC came to a close today there was a late afternoon session entitled "Burning Down the House: Game Developers Rant." As the title implies, this assembly was meant to be an inflammatory airing of grievances by industry veterans. The panel consisted of Warren Spector, Greg Costikyan, Brenda Laurel, and Chris Hecker. Each speaker had a different take on what is horribly wrong with the state of game development.
Warren Spector Warren Spector has been associated with a number of classic games including Wing Commander, System Shock, and segments of the Ultima Series. He is perhaps best known for founding Ion Storm in 1997 which resulted in the production of Deus Ex, Deus Ex: Invisible War and Thief: Deadly Shadows. Spector recently left Eidos to form a new independent studio in Austin. He claimed that the game industry a "hopelessly broken business". The reason behind this is a poor funding distribution model which gives publishers control over all steps of the game development process. Spector compared the current situation to early days of the American film industry when large studios controlled all aspects of development, distribution, and marketing movies. Spector suggested that developers need to break this cycle by finding new distribution methods similar to what Valve accomplished by selling Half-Life 2 through Steam. As rumors of Spector's next project start to develop it will be interesting to see how he plans on bringing his game to the masses. Honestly, I have to completely agree with Warren Inspectors statement here. Publishers are pushing the developers around. EA? They've bought out multiple developers as of recently, and some of them they basically "destroyed" and are no more. Microsoft? Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they were pushing Bungie around with Halo 2's development and altered the games to their "liking" and what "they" wanted. Fore more, here's the source. |

I have the one mainly all other Acmlmboards have now, but I'm thinking about just modifying Syntax's. |

| Anyone been keeping up with the recent information lately, with all the next generation systems?
So far from what I've read, the Nintendo Revolution (still the codename) and the PS3 will be backward capatible with previous systems. Yes, Nintendo's system will be backward compatible with GC games. I'm unsure about the Xbox 2 / Xenon though. Talk about the Revolution Lot of info, but Nintendo seems like they're really wanting to change their current status of -ok- around. Xbox 2 talk All the systems seem like they're going to rock, so I'll probaly end up getting them all again ... there goes a ton of money. 
Rumors say that Perfect Dark 2 / After Dark could be a possible release title with the Xbox 2, if that's true, I'm sold, if not Xbox's system is probably the one I can wait the most for. The PS3 just seems awesome, and plus my PS2 is just crapping out lately, it would be nice to be able to play games that I can't play and finish them. (Xenosaga) Nintendo, well I have my faith in them. Let's just hope for a good Mario console release this time, unlike what the GC got (We had to wait, then we got Sunshine ...). I can't find the PS3 article, so if someone wants to post that or more articles feel free to. Well, discuss? I'm excited, but seriously, Xbox 2 releasing by the end of this year? That still seems so early ... |

Originally posted by TheDaftPunk Of course, I read my magazines monthly.
Yeah, they've started a war with Vivendi, European companies, Sega and Sammy Studios, and probably more. Sammy returned the favor with signing an MLB deal for the next 7-8 years last I remember. I don't mind that as much as I mind the EA deal, because I hate EA, but still, that just closes the door for many other developers out there, and so now we've got only 1 company that can put out MLB games, and also with the NFL, so they either do these games right ... or we'll be getting bad sports game (Not that I'd personally care, but that's probably the deal with the majority of the gamers out there) |

Originally posted by TheDaftPunk I just heard about them from one of my crazy friends who's been to like 30+ concerts. 
He's a huge Prog. fan, and he just burned a bunch of CD's for me and other friends to listen to, and well now we've got a huge group of people at my school praising this band. |

Originally posted by Not-Really-DarkSlaya Well I look at it this way. Sure they lost Rare, but Rare didn't really take anything with them. (Banjo and Kazooie, but big deal if you ask me ... oh yeah and Perfect Dark )
But Nintendo has Retrogames now, who we all know did the masterful Metroid Prime and Prime 2, I just hope we see more from Retrogames soon. They were supposed to be working on an RPG, but Nintendo basically shut them down with that because they wanted a Metroid game (I'm not complaining), but who knows what they're working on now?

I just have one fear.
|
Overdoing it with the horse (probably Epona). I've personally always enjoyed the Zelda games for the free-roaming huge world to explore aspect. That was completely killed in Wind Waker, and the boat ... well, it just completely ruined the game for me. So as fun as horse riding in this game looks, I still hope to be wandering around a lot on foot.

Well I have found another "babe" ...
|
Quite possibly better than Sung Hi Lee, but I don't think I should announce her name.
But will I?
Edit: May as well. Teanna Kai ... but, look her up at your own risk. She's much more revealing than Sung Hi Lee.
(I like how my layout is so messed up in these posts, aggh )

I grew up liking Red, but now I like Blue / Green more.

Teal is a nice color. (the official banner background is basically a dark teal-ish color) And it's the color for the Special Units in Starcraft. (Last edited by The Xeogred on 03-16-05 11:57 AM)

Wow RYjet911, this looks really promising.
|
I'd help but I've kind of strayed away from the RPG Maker World, but honestly this one looks good.
It's appreciated that you'd do something like this for this place, without anyone even asking or anything, so with that I've got to thank you. And I'll sticky this thread. (Last edited by The Xeogred on 03-16-05 12:04 PM) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
