I'm surprised they didn't find an Aussie-publisher earlier. Isn't Australia BIS' biggest market, if you look at the ratio of bought games/player? AFAIK, Australia was the only place in the world were people in general enjoyed Elite and didn't whine about bad graphics. Hmmm... This sounds good... How much does a sheep-farm cost these days?

The whole StarForce-issue is a fine example of over-exaggeration. Yes, it's a shitty piece of software but the majority of the PC community think it'll blow their machine up. AFAIK, it might slow your PC down, might come in conflict with your virus program and might come in conflict with your CD/DVD. Again, it's shit, but it's not a reason not to buy the game.

Let's start the Social Trigger Finger Union! Ironically, the abbreviation pretty much sums up what I think about people whining about these things.

Been listening a lot to Gentle Giant recently. Gotta love Octopus.

Not really. OFP's camera scripting is severly limited. That doesn't mean it isn't good when looking at other games. But calling it "limited only by your skill as a movie maker" is not true.

Best post today!

What's with the old-thread revivals?

Well, Zangband TK is an RPG where your character is destroyed if you get killed and it's on my top 10 list of best games ever. I think you underestimate how entertaining fear of death can be.

Bloody hell, that was pretty much the worst welcome of a non-Flashpointer ever. It took him half a page to find an answer to a very simple question. Stop looking into your own elitistic belly buttons just because you are playing a more mature game. If it is a mature game, which it is, then I expect a mature community. You've just proven the opposite.

Topic says speedball, thread-post says paintball. No, I do not play paintball. And yes, I've played a lot of Speedball 2 in my days.

This video is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

What do you think the strafe keys are for?

Hitler was a Christian. Does that make Christianity the same thing as the extermination of jews?

Sorry for going OT here, but what the hell has Islam got to do with all of this?

I personally don't care how the smoke/explosions look. I just want lots of smoke and the AI not being able to see through it.

Last minute adjustments: They're turning ArmA into a film noir game with bad-ass FX.

Aw, come on! It was a non-profit mod. How can you not feel sorry for them for the hours they spent on this? Even if I hate both Halo and C&C: Generals and I wouldn't touch this mod with a ten-foot pole, I feel sorry for the mod team and all the work that has gone into it.

grammar is a little off why are you posting in the ArmA forum if you swear you wont buy the game :s He's trying mate, so lay off. Not everyone has English as native language. And of course he's free to post in the ArmA forum that he's not buying ArmA because of the bad choice of DirectX. Why would he not be allowed to post that in a thread that is about DirectX in ArmA?

Ever watch those reality shows on the telly? Y'know, the ones that suck and have practically no value of entertainment what-so-ever? Well, I sort of went ahead and started my own. Only this time on the internet. Meet the CS-kiddie. Caucasian male ranging from fourteen to sixteen who seems to have problems understanding the even simplest of grammar rules. His main interests include "pwning ppl", calling other players a "fag0t" and cheat in just about every possible way there is. Well, that's the stereotype anyway. What happens if we took a few CS-kiddies, say, ten of them, gave them Flashpoint and put them in training similiar to those used by OFP co-op squads? Well, that's what Project: Flashpoint is about. We're going to find out if these mainstream players have the patience, the maturity and the M16-skillz00r to make it as well-trained Flashpointers. Project: Flashpoint isn't just a stupid experiment. It's about fighting prejudice (or proving ir right, depending on the result) and I personally also see it as an experiment on what has happened to the computer gaming market today. Fewer and fewer games like Flashpoint are being made today, more and more mainstream is being pumped out of an industry which has forgotten everything that 'creativity' stands for. If I can make these CS-players actually enjoy Flashpoint - if they can find the thrill in a two hour patrol just like us - we've proven that these mainstream games isn't what the market wants. It's just that the public doesn't know better, they think that 5 minutes of doing the same stuff over and over again, round after round is the only thing available. Of course, I could be completely wrong as well. Maybe the people want the EA-crap after all. As I said, that depends on the results. I'm going to put these 10 lads through intense training the next few weeks. I'm going to teach them how to communicate and unteach them how to write "omg u fukkin n00b cheatz00r" in the game chat. I'm going to teach them formations and unteach them to run about like mad chickens, especially with a knife pulled out instead of a rifle. I'm going to teach them patience and unteach them that even though they die, 2 minutes of waiting is NOT enough to start writing "omg, camper, die plz". I'm going to teach them how to depend on your teammates and unteach them to call each other n00b everytime they make something wrong. Or I will fail miserabley. http://project-flashpoint.blogspot.com/

Why is this thread locked, while this thread is allowed? No offence to Steve Irwin, may he rest in peace, but I feel it's wrong that some celebreties are apparently "worth" a thread while others are not. It's not like Roger "Syd" Barrett was an indy-artist that nobody heard of.
