Cool!

That's one well-executed game with nice graphics on top. I'm scared to death now, because I had a similar browser-based game idea for a more DnD / Greyhawk setting, but I'm not sure I can keep up with those standards for art and programming. Alas, always someone better :( I'm still gonna sign...

I tried to let it be that way, but every Mac I've come in contact with (but one) has been unsuitable for the work I do. 100% of the game art I do for clients is on the PC, and seems to go so much more smoothly (no program delays / save errors / crashes without the ability to recover) than any of...

I agree, it's very convenient that I can turn the Mac on and off to fix most problems. It would be nice if Windows was a little less breakable, but as long as it's known that most computer problems stim from poor decisions made by users. A lot of times, it's people doing something they shouldn't...

Ok, did anyone else notice that Locke was involved with a large commune of pot farmers? It seems very off that they didn't show closure on his backstory for that episode. I'm left wondering what happaned to Locke ... and everyone else, for that matter.

The same could be said for PCs. But I run a business that requires 24 hour turnaround, and if I send this Mac off to be fixed or replaced, I risk losing a very large supplement to my paycheck over a couple of days. I'll deal with wonky, but I don't like it. Granted, I haven't had a major...

Heh, well, it's quite up to date and it happens every couple days or so, and has since I bought it. So the "just turn it off and forget about it" solution doesn't fly. I appreciate the tips, but those haven't helped either, and I've gone through quite a few other motions to try and fix it after...

Power supply failure is getting a lot more common than it used to be. I've had two friends that had to replace their power supply a month after buying pre-made PCs and another more recently that had to replace one in a PC he built after a power blink (not even during a storm) and he was on a...

I remember watching a special on the "Odyssey" where the guy who invented it also happened to invent the gun-controller too. That man is my hero. Since this conversation has trailed into more happy territory, I might as well ask the Q. Anyone else have the Mario Bros / Duck Hunt / Track and...

Heh, nice :D I've been trying to learn Mac repair so that I can add it to my PC-IT arena and broaden my job options (and help some of my friends that have Macs). It doesn't help that I associate my Mac purely with business, too. But that's all I can associate it with. As soon as I got done with...

Even more primitive than Elite. It was literally just two planes, two players, two different sides of the keyboard, lol. If I remember correctly, Elite was a space based game where you'd go from world to world, right? It's been a loooong time. My old game nestalgia is at it's peak right now...

The first computer game (that had anything resembling graphics) I ever played was a vector looking dog-fight game on a Tandy. To this day I've had no luck producing a game better than that one, and it's depressing, lol. Respect to software developers from way back when. The Tandy we got after...

I skipped out on the dentist for 3 years (never had any cavities or problems before then for 19 years), went back and was told that I have 26+ small cavities. You should probably go for cleanings every 6 months, lol. I recommend having dental at all costs, and vision if you have a family (or...

:eek: I actually didn't know this conversation would go any farther than a day, lol. I just get annoyed at false advertising, is all (and some elitist view that some Mac users seem to have). But I suppose all commercials have it to some degree, and brand loyalty is that, as unbalanced as...

I saw a site with "Made with a Mac" at the bottom today. Apparently it could help you get chics! It takes all the creativity and brainwork out of making webpages (i.e. your freewill) to give you a website that can't possibly be called bad. Now you can tell all the ladies that you're a "web...

Lol, Airport is a breeze, eh? I spent over three hours trying to find out why Airport wouldn't recognize my new Linsys wireless router (which it is sitting right beside). I finally broke out with a cat-5 cable and just wired the stupid thing. My PC, on the other hand, picked it up and ran with...

Thank you! I'll work on a complete website for it when I get done converting that program. You rock!

Indeed, it's great to know that the Mac commercials aren't fooling anyone, and although the iPod is a spectacular little product, the Macintosh itself isn't at all a wonderful thing. There advertising just seems to get more rediculous every time I change the channel. Edit: And maybe what annoys...

The commercials are getting ridiculous. I don't hate Macs, but I'm certainly not inclined to purchase one over a PC. "My Mac produces a Bimbo, while your PC produces a man in a dress." Like a Mac is going to make the person shooting the film a better cinematographer, editor, or make their job a...

This is the first full render that I've ever completed. It started while watching one of the Gnomon Workshop DVDs and ended a few months later, after I learned about the Dodge and Burn tools in Photoshop. It's done entirely with Photoshop CS 2 and a wacom tablet. The subject matter is a bit...
