Fable Again
#9131 posted by necros on 2005/10/19 16:01:47
right, i never played fable on xbox, so i hadn't realised, but yeah, after playing, i found out that there is indeed a decent amount added.
as for controls, well, i found it uncomfortable during the entire game, and i guess that's because of what kinn was saying-- that it was designed to be controlled via game pad. however, it does actually work out alright, just a bit to aclimatize at the start.
also, the ability to continue playing at the end is a nice plus, because i too did what kinn is talking about. just goofing around, killing stuff, etc. fun like morrowind. :)
i think the best thing fable has going for it, is that even though it's very non linear, the main quest is ALWAYS clearly marked, so if you get bored doing side quests, you can jump back into the main quest right away.
Is Your Printer Tracking You?

ZOMG PHAITS BACK WITH TINFOIL HAT CONSPIRACIES!!!1

It sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it isn't. The pages coming out of your color printer may contain hidden information that could be used to track you down if you ever cross the U.S. government.
Last year, an article in PC World magazine pointed out that printouts from many color laser printers contained yellow dots scattered across the page, viewable only with a special kind of flashlight. The article quoted a senior researcher at Xerox Corp. as saying the dots contain information useful to law-enforcement authorities, a secret digital "license tag" for tracking down criminals.

Not really news worthy or anything...Mindcrime was hassling me to fix my website and make the maps available again...so I decided the map wagon thing sucked ass, and I should have fixed it ages ago, but I suck and am lazy...anyhow its all fixed now. No more flash or any shite like that.
no new maps or anything though...

Hi Tim
I was just thinking the other day, I wonder how Elek is doing? Not to mention Bailey...
Good to see you're still around!

Q4 MP Screenies.

Look crap. Generic industrial bollox. Nothing remotely inspiring there.
And you can see in one screenshot there is bouncing items. I bet the whole experience will be even shitter than Q3A, hell the maps actually look less interesting.
Thankfully I'm not going to be playing MP.

Welcome back!
Did you know that windows has a backdoor for cia Linux doesn't have this since you can compile it yourself. That article you linked to was removed already. And I bet they are reading func too!
Take care!
(The printer thing... that's why you have to clip newspaper headlines and glue them onto a paper to combine your message. Be sure to not breathe and use disposable gloves... and don't do it at home.)
Heh

No I'm not worried about any printers, since I don't do any illegal activities with it i.e. counterfeiting. But it was interesting nonetheless.

Have you had any luck with Lun3dm3tex.zip?
I have it, but have nowhere to upload it to. It's a bit over 14mb, I could split it and Email it to you in 2 attachments?, or if you had somewhere that I could upload it to?
Hi

(Sandstorm) of a MP map above has some Lun signature brush style in it, but that is just an ill informed guess.
It's also wrong. ;) Although out of all the people who've theorized I did that map, you're the first one to cite a reason other than "it has sand in it."
Necros, I'll upload that zip for you tonight.
Excellent

thanks lun :) will save me and vorelord some trouble, and they're nice textures that should be up somewhere at least.
cheers ^_^

"Well Raven have really screwed the pooch with Quake4"
Wtf does that mean? Is that an American saying? It makes no sense to me whatsoever. Why would fucking a dog make any difference to the outcome of game creation? Are you implying that Raven is full of dog lovers? Does it mean the game is good, or bad?
EXPLAIN!
"So far it's AWESOME!" or "So far it's SHIT!" would have been much more easily understood.
Lol
#9154 posted by necros on 2005/10/22 22:22:19
'screwed the pooch' just means 'they fucked up badly'.
and i'm not even american! o.0
ps: i don't know if i agree with that statement, btw, since i haven't played it yet.
Eh, First I've Heard The Phrase
