  1. Why are developers held hostage by PR?

    I thought about the same Riddick-DC-talk reading this thread, but didn't got up to write it down (and now I think, man he made a good point there...crap...it should have been my point). The mocap-actor. Creepy. But he kind of showed that the thing didn't went through to much target-group-filtering (Just guessing. Nonetheless they had to cut some stuff they said...wonder what?). Good way to let the working people talk, but questionable, whether some EA thinks it's worth the money? I think it's a feature that most buyers never used or cared about. Okay, same goes for the good coder-guy interview, but I liked it a lot and so I'm totally for it (Riddick-style and interview).
  2. Dreamfall gone gold

    @miffy...maybe the compatibility mode will help...might be useless and/or already tried but it just came to mind Bought the English version years ago (I feared the German synchronization) but had some problems with one of the CDs (one has a scratch on it). Got it installed and running until it started stuttering in some early location. Should have send it back, but it was a bargain and the internet-shop I bought it from was far away and I wasn’t that enthusiastic about the game, so I felt that it wasn’t worth the effort. With the upcoming sequel and all the talk about how good the first one is I feel the strong urge to finally play it. I figured that two files together worth 25MB from CD 1 are unreadable. If it isn’t too illegal, could someone help me out with those files? I already tried some CD-recovery stuff from the Internet but the program just said it’s unreadable in a more polite manner than windows.
  3. Just how awesome is the DS Lite?

    I knew it. This place was just too far beyond belief with it’s friendliness and lack of aggressive forum-infesting wiseacres and common morons to be a real internet-message board. It’s all just a setup for tricking people into buying a DS. Quiet clever with the whole some-threads-not-DS-related-stuff going on, but when I, who is, like one of the other victims, 99% PC, felt the urge to buy this hideous (but still lovely and shiny and even portable) device suddenly it all became clear. I’m so not falling for it (but now my DS-less future seems dull and dark)

    Thanks. Looks good. Hope the shipping costs aren't over the top.

    As mentioned above Graham Annables "grickle"-stuff is also a good choice. I got "further grickle" some days ago and it's great. Funny and sad and strange. Trying to get "grickle", but it seems to be out of print and thus very/too expensive - at least where I looked (amazon.de/.co.uk/.fr - yeah, I'm not good at looking - but maybe someone around these parts of the big porn-engine known as the Internet is - any ideas?).
