they may get more people biting on Kickstarter since the company won't see anything unless it hits the goal.

Based on how little they've gotten so far, this one is doomed to failure.

I'm not surprised. Dyack's name is toxic. He's like the Orson Welles of video games, if Orson Welles hadn't made anything good after Citizen Kane.

Yah, that and the fact that (as noted) all you are guaranteed is the "Pilot" episode with "the possibility of more episodes based on the success of our campaign". I've backed many projects on Kickstarter but both of these things are keeping me away from this one. Unfortunately that means that I'm not "contributing to their success" so people in the same boat as I am are helping to doom it to failure. Ah well.

Come back with a full, stand-alone sequel and I'd be all over it.

I can't believe what I just found doing some basement cleaning... three Steve Jackson's Sorcery! books and The Sorcery Spell Book all in very good if a bit yellow condition. Sheesh. I was hoping there were only three but turns out there were four:

Sorcery 1: The Shamutanti Hills
Sorcery 2: Khare - Cityport of Traps
Sorcery 3: The Seven Serpents
Sorcery 4: The Crown of Kings        (no clue if lost or not purchased)

The Spell Book will come in handy for the new iPad version.  thumbsup

Curious what that means as there was plenty of arrow action in the finale. Or maybe I don't want to know.  icon_wink

she. has. no. NIPPLES!!!!!  eek eek eek eek

That's how it works, they go with the breasts. My wife went through this about 12 years ago and had to make fun decisions like - Do I get implants? Do I get nipples? The former is painful as hell because they have to stretch out the muscle to put them under (sometimes moving muscle from other areas; back, stomach) no idea on the second as she decided no. They either 'rebuild' them from other tissue and/or tattoo them.

Well... interesting. I guess things can change on that when it is an elective surgery rather than cancer related.

Have they said what the FOV is? The default for 2033 was 45 (it was measured vertically rather than horizontally like most games) and I changed it to 60. However, given they probably set this up so it would look ok on the consoles, I'm guessing it's similar to the first game. Not sure why changing it in the first game is OK but not this one. There are all the animations they seem to be talking about like looking at the watch and stuff.

From the user.cfg file after the update:

r_base_fov 50.625

Sorry if this has been mentioned somewhere in the 13 pages but have they said anything about getting rid of the 'install' step for downloaded games?

Thanks... hopefully I'll have some time to check it out at the end of the month. Right now between a complete kitchen gut-and-remodel that starts in a week and a three-year work project that went live this month, I have very little spare time... or more like very little spare brain.  disgust

17  Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / Re: [PC] Anno 2070 - Deep Ocean Expansion coming on: May 12, 2013, 10:47:34 PM
So what's the verdict on this? How has their support of this been? AA's write-up in the Weekend Playlist thread sounded interesting (was that a Deep Ocean adventure?) and sadly this is sitting in my Steam game list, never played. I'm well aware of the DRM so really just looking for a general impression of the game itself a year later... and what if any DLC might be worth investing in. During a Steam sale.  icon_wink

It's not like the ads are random sizes or anything, why not reserve the space needed for them up top? Then the speed of your ad server becomes a moot point and all this jumpy jump jump goes away.

Funny how the top 9 "Ace of Aces" for the British all have the same score: 9,223,372,036,854,775,807... and yes, I'm aware of the significance of the number. I guess it's a known iOS / Gamecenter hack / exploit.

Not sure what you mean. All of the spells have their letters at the top of the page and they "light up" if you can cast them. You're not seeing them?

Pulled the trigger and bought all of the books at once.  This show is fantastic!   I do have to agree - the episodes feel like they fly by so fast. 

ps. It's not all of the books. Hopefully someday such a thing will exist.  icon_razz

any comparisons on the Directors cut of Deadly Premonition compared to the vanilla?  might be worth a purchase if it's improved enough.

So, I see it, but it happens so fast it doesn't really phase me. It's because the javascript loads after the page loads. Is it taking a long time for the page to load for you and then the jump occurs?

Long time? No. It's just a beat, perhaps half a second at the most. But still plenty of time to see the page jump up and back down again. The odd thing is I don't recall seeing this before and I've been here since 2004. Has it been working like this for some time (redesign / code change / ??) and I've just noticed? Problem is it's one of those "now that it has been seen it cannot be unseen" things.  icon_confused

If that's just the way it is, that's fine.
36  Non-Gaming / Forum and Site Feedback / Re: Odd ad behaviour on: April 26, 2013, 01:36:57 PM
I'm seeing the same behavior in Chrome.

Huh... that does actually look pretty cool. I'll be anxiously awaiting your impressions.  icon_wink

What kind of network connection are you on?

High speed cable. This might be something new with IE10... I'll have to see what happens on a couple of systems I have here.

Edit: My crappy work laptop that still runs IE8 does the exact same thing. As noted, each page is first rendered with no ad space at the top and then "pop" it goes down when the ad show up. Move to the next page, it pops back up and then down again. Now that I'm looking for it, it's getting annoying. Ah well.  icon_wink
40  Non-Gaming / Forum and Site Feedback / Odd ad behaviour on: April 23, 2013, 01:22:14 PM
Don't know if others are seeing this on other browsers but I'm running IE10 and the pages are first rendered without space for the ad at the top and then everything pushes down and the ad appears. So there's a lot of "hopping up and down" when navigating inside and around the forums. Not horrible but thought it was worth mentioning...
