The text you quoted specifically uses the word "uncontacted" and specifically does not use the word "lost".

Anyway... 

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." 

what does lost in this context mean and why is it better than 'uncontacted' 

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'. 

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

the whole time!
Inertia:
Theyre not taking my eyeballs, I'll stick to UT3 if that's the case 

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... 

Yeah, but playing in a web browser while ads dance and flash around the edges? No thanks. 

There are ad blockers and whatnot nowadays. 

the ads will be in-game, on tv screens and whatnot. 

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

Ha, that can be easily circumvented by playing with my eyes shut! 

Well that would explain Metl's legendary DM skillz then... 

Q3 was the game that irreversibly pushed me away from Q3 online... 

So we can make fun of your antiquated views again 

I don't disconnect every two minutes anymore.


I just thought I would share that update with you. 

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

Advertisers are going to sign on if you can promise them space where the audience is captive - something where you can promise them lots of eyeballs. More popular TV shows = more expensive commercial slots, etc.

Now, look at games like Quake3. If there's an ad on a TV screen in the level - who's paying attention to that? Nobody's going to stop and look, and any advertiser that has this game demoed to them won't be too enthused.

In the menus and web frontend, however - or even better, while the loading bar is crawling - that's where you're going to see advertising. 

It worked pretty well in the free, ad-supported versions of Far Cry, Prince of Persia and that other game.

Maybe they're going to add TV commercial-like sound bits and advertising slogans to QuakeLive with the first patch. 

 

RL would be sponsored by Coca Cola surely?

GL seems far more Pepsi-y (I may be being influenced by Warsow's blue GL here tho) 

I'm leaving forever. 

I mean, er.... , no. please dont
