I can't point you to a website or ad or whatever, but we can chat about it via email or irc or something if you like. So yeah, email me :D
I've been burned that way a few times. So much so that I never ever save while regioned anymore. I've also had stuff disappear by hiding, regioning, hiding more, unregioning and then trying to unhide and having nothing come back.
jesus, condolences :(
I never knew about that issue, but I always save under a new filename every session, and archive all the old versions. I know something's bound to fuck up oneday, so it's nice to know that at worst I can just roll back to a recent session. annoyingly enough, it's the *only* map in the folder without one. i can only guess that when you save the map within the game when doing editsounds, it erases the
That worked for me (fast too). View the whole GA thread works fine though, it takes a while of course and stresses the browser a bit.
DNS updated faster than I expected.
I wonder if i should bother fixing the fact that the timestamps in the database don't have a time zone attached, but the server has suddenly moved 9 time zones over. http://www.joystiq.com/2007/01/15/seriously-impressive-ghostbusters-game-in-the-works/
"seriously impressive" ghostbusters game? This looks awful and I can feel my early childhood being stabbed with every physics object tossed. but Ghostbusters was not all that funny. One good laugh and a few amusing
chuckles at best. your opinion, man.
No, it wasn't a side splitting movie. I still liked it, and so did a lot of people. ghost vaccum cleaner on the roof of the car ftw.
(plus marshmellow man ruining the city every single time with me having absolutely no idea how to stop him and finish the game... :|) I didn't see it until the 90's and in my twenties. Maybe, if I saw it as a kid my memories of the movie would be more nostalgic.
...and that doesn't look all that horrible to me. Hell, we haven't really seen much in the way of gameplay, just "ooh, look at shit break apart and fly around; ain't it cool?!"
Although the simulated-real-people thing always creeps me out a little for some reason, and is very wrong. What looks so awful to you, other than that? The gameplay shot shows almost no gameplay other than some kind of man-lifting mechanic involving showing off effects and physics and their twisty beam thing. Oh, and the roadie run lifted from Gears.
The art direction looks like they either wish they were making Gears, or they want to make the Ghostbusters "cooler" for the "hip" crowd by putting them in the future and making them look like the platoon from Aliens. Most of the Ghostbusters chic wasn't just that they shot at ghosts, it was the overall style of 80's Manhattan + functional and blue-collar looking equipment/firehouse/etc + kind of silly gremlinesque ghosts. If you remove the (horrid) logo from the video and the side of the (shameful) car there is nothing left in any of this footage besides the (creepy) Bill Murray that resembles GB in any way. It looks like the point of the game is that you're on some navy seal team that lifts people with a swirly white tractor beam and blows parts of buildings up in a futuristic West Palm Beach, Florida. When they give the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man a do-rag and gold chains, don't say I didn't warn anyone! We don't really have anything to go on re: gameplay, but I see what you mean.
The art direction does have that sorta generic-cool pseudo-military look going on. And yeah, no silliness to be seen, which was sort of the point... So, everything appears to be good now. Thanks to SleepwalkR for providing the server and assisting me in the move.
