""We appreciate what you guys have done over the years in building the popularity of [Quake 3]," said id CEO Todd Hollenshead. "We also like 'free.'" "
All due respect, Todd - but id likes 'free' now that the money has been made. Nothing wrong with that but let's not start painting ourselves as pure and altruistic suddenly.

is nice. Fast. Localized. Downloaded a nice theme. I put a weather and clock widget on too.
 Hmmm - Doom 4 + Quake Zero

Classes and team work? If Carmack likes straight up death match, it's not hard to imagine him not getting something like ET.

Except that nobody said they were lost. They said they were uncontacted which has a specific meaning in this situation.
There are hundreds of uncontacted tribes on the planet.

Except, that is exactly what was initialy claimed.

"We did the overflight to show their houses, to show they are there, to show they exist," said Jose Carlos dos Reis Meirelles, an expert on uncontacted tribes at Funai. "This is very important because there are some who doubt their existence."
You certainly don't go looking for the proof of the existence of 'found' things.
#14486 posted by JneeraZ on 2008/06/24 18:02:23
The text you quoted specifically uses the word "uncontacted" and specifically does not use the word "lost".
Anyway...
#14487 posted by JneeraZ on 2008/06/24 18:05:20
Here's a quote from someone else I saw that sums it up decently:
"Saying it's a hoax doesn't really fit, imo. Yeah, they knew about the tribe, but the tribe is still uncontacted at this point, no? Reading up on it further, it seems like people knew about this tribe and others, but no contact really exists with them."
 So

what does lost in this context mean and why is it better than 'uncontacted'
#14489 posted by JneeraZ on 2008/06/24 18:27:25
To me, 'lost' would mean that we once had them and then misplaced them while bringing in the groceries resulting in a 15 minute search the following morning before going to work and being late as a result. That's very different from 'uncontacted'.
 Regarding Quake Zero

It isn't free, you pay with your eyeballs.

 Quake Zero
#14492 posted by jsHcK on 2008/06/24 20:48:59
TF2 was the game that finally pulled me away from Q3 online. Quake Zero might be the game that draws me back...
I'm sick of being a team player. There is a unique joy in winning in an individualist deathmatch game.
And there is always Sauerbraten...
#14493 posted by JneeraZ on 2008/06/24 20:52:02
Yeah, but playing in a web browser while ads dance and flash around the edges? No thanks.
#14494 posted by Zwiffle on 2008/06/24 20:56:03
There are ad blockers and whatnot nowadays.
 Maybe
#14495 posted by Kinn on 2008/06/24 21:24:43
the ads will be in-game, on tv screens and whatnot.

 Video Editing Software

Can anyone recommend good video editing software? I just need simple cutting, no fancy effects or anything.
