Is really cool, was so thrilled when it finally came out and I didn't have to get a 360 to play it. I know the gameplay is repetitive, but the immersion is high, and the variances in setting are neat, as well as the whole group vibe. And I bust out laughing nearly every time Dom says "NICE!" 

Doms best line: 'sup bitches! 

aguire quake? 

got it, I thought it was different to regular glquake like in fitz.

But, what about half life 1? is there a vsync command there? 

you could set fps_max to your refreshrate, dunno about v-sync (except in vid card options under windows). 

this seems to be totally not-backed up bullshit: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3621/fewer_mechanics_better_game.php 

They print a lot of shite. 

... some people still wonder why Wii is outselling both 360 and PS3 combined.

I'm glad I spawned this whole discussion but I was waiting for maps to render and it was the day before a day off and the office was half empty and my CPUs were maxed and there wasn't a spare machine to do it on and I was just exceedingly bored. 

I sort of agree with his main point, but yeah, not well written. Oh well. 

I've worked no higher than manual labourer /item librarian/loader/clerk/assurer and I will tell you it is fucking chronic that management knows nothing about actual production.

By all means, the highest boss of production will know everything about production, will be reasonable, and cool, and intelligent (and have no percentage btw)... but higher than that, reasonability will not exist. Highest boss of production will himself flip off those higher than him (I've admired no one more in my life than seeing this), and it SHALT BE CALLED FOR.

Fatass White God, if ye have any mercy, give me a big fat scholarship next year so I don't have to go back...

In fact we all know (as foremen do) that the highest guy pays a slightly higher percentage if you can screw the guy below you. That is business. I understand how fair and intelligible it is. But I'm not in for 100 years of it. This whole percentages thing is not what I am in for. 

millions of people looking through a glass window at a massive banquet and ball where everyone's beautiful and rich, pounding on the glass wanting in, and thousands of people on the other side doing exactly the same thing. 

fuck you talking about? I'm beautiful and rich. 

no way y�re fat ugly and poor 

You're also impaled on a pitchfork in a well known picture. 

Fishy, but not quite fish.

Though you are golden as well. 

"percentage" -- what do you mean? 

Is this your company:

I'm sure this has been brought up back in 1999 or something, but since I wasn't around, I have to ask again...

Let's say I have a mod based on Quake2/CTF/mission pack code. Somehow the license has been lost or there was never one included etc. To really complicate it, I've taken a few bits from other mods which by now are (rightly or wrongly) under the GPL.

Now I'd like to do The Right Thing (TM) and reinclude a license in the next release. Which one?

Is my "Modified copy" still covered by the id license? Or was that just for the "authorized copy"? I have some problems with this lawyer-speak...

I know nobody will probably care, I'd just like to get this off the list... and if no license applies anymore, I'd choose GPL...

*scratches head* 

That is very similar to my own conundrum concerning releasing some content ;). I don't have an easy answer, and in my case, I'm just creating code that is compatible with pre-GPL released sources in functionality while trying to avoid copying the methods used. 

*nods*

The GPL code is pretty general... it's practically only modified pre-GPL code... it's probably contained in several mods under several licenses, where one copied from the other... then someone put the GPL stamp on it, which is, well, nice, but questionable (I think.)

Parts are also "public domain" as per hearsay from people who knew someone who knew the mod author... *g* It's pretty weird.

Perhaps a mail to Todd Hollenshead or something?

I just don't fully understand the original id license (CTF/Xatrix etc license.) It's not very clear about the status of "modified copies" and copies thereof (and copies of... well you get the point...)

bleh. :-/

I just mean the amount they personally make is related to how much the company makes overall. Yeah they get a flat rate, but there's commission/bonuses/etc on top of that. All the way up to the foreman where I worked none of that applied, the foreman could (and did) make a shitload doing overtime, but overtime is just another flat rate, it isn't related to how much of a killing the company as a whole is making. What was a particular pain in the ass was being expected to squeeze more work into the same amount of hours, without getting paid any more, because people with commission were setting it up that way. Overtime is a good way to make money, but people with commission never even work overtime. Anyway, maybe with two useless degrees instead of one I'll be able to get something better next time, lol.
