I'm working on a site for a friend of mine, and I made a image request handler for his site that renders a image depicting when the home page was last modified.
I wanted to see what you guys thought.
For example this post was created:
Visit the page [here].
The page is also IPHONE enabled.
Let me know what you think.
I would especially like your thoughts Miller.
I finally decided to pick up the Enhanced Edition a few days ago and so far I am not dissapointed. This is a game that pretty much has it all: beating up nasty monsters, gambling, drinking with your pals, and having sex with lots of hot women. Oh yeah, it's also a really awesome RPG, so there's that too.
There are only a few downsides to the game, like some iffy dialogue here and there [it is from eastern Europe after all], some graphical issues like everything in the distance being a bit fuzzy, and a few other little things. But that's pretty much it and none of those things are enough to ruin what is probably one of the best RPGs in years.
Plus a console port is coming out sometime next year, so none of you guys will have an exuse for not playing it.
It's every bit as great as I was hoping... only have the demo so far, but I'll be sure to buy this one some time during the next month, no question. Yeah, it's $20 while it was $5 on XBLA, but oddly downloadable PC games are always more than downloadable console ones, while boxed PC games are cheaper... oh well. The game's more than great enough to be worth it.
-Star Fighter (3DO/PC/Saturn/PSX) -- When I first played the demo of the PC version in 1996, I thought this game was hard, but completely awesome. Playing it again today, my opinion hasn't changed... it's just not quite as hard as it was for me 12 years ago. The controls are weird and tough to get used to, though, for sure (instead of your fighter turning when you press left or right, left or right rotate the plane, so you make a slow, banked curve, unless you press right and up or right and down for a quicker turn, that might also spin you in an unexpected direction... you'll regularly crash into the ground and blow up in this game until you get used to it. :))... but...
*holds down fire with lasers equipped*
*The ground starts deforming and turning grey, the hills get blown apart and ripped down to the base ground later and buildings blow up in nice flashy chunks*
:D This game is worth trying, if just to fly around shooting at and/or crashing into stuff! :) (Oh, the PC version has the best graphics... find the demo and try it in DOSBox, it's a DOS game.)
-Mercenaries -- haven't played it, but I've heard you can blow up anything. Sounds great. :)
-Battletanx and Battletanx: Global Assault -- You can destroy any building in the stage. Reduce entire cities to rubble!
Red Faction and Red Faction 2 -- Geo-Mod... blow your way around doors, blow through walls and dirt... true terrain deformation in the way most FPSes don't have. A great experience.
So here's my question... what more games do this? Particularly the terrain deformation; I'm sure Red Faction and Star Fighter aren't the only two games ever that let you do things like that, right?
This article traces it back to fears of jews and immigrants... Hmm...
To be honest, I have no idea why people are terrified of some sort of evil banishment of Christmas. People celebrate it year after year. The worst is when people think that phrases like "Happy Holidays" somehow are threatening. The intellectual dishonesty is striking when they try to say that people are being PREVENTED from saying Merry Christmas, which is simply not the case.
It's also worth noting that the very same people who tend to fear Christmas are usually against marketplace regulation, until the stores they visit stop catering to their own whims, then suddenly they want them regulated to force them to say Merry Christmas and if there aren't two Santas for every Manora, there's evil afoot!
