zerted Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 An Amiga is an old computer that was around ten years ahead of its time when it was being sold. Sadly it had no protection from memory leaks and a single baddly codded program could completely crash the computer and wipe out the harddrive. More info at: http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/07/23/1349240&tid=138&tid=137 It had the most advanced graphics and operating system features (except memory protection) when it came out. There are even two new Oses being developed for it at this time. But it was sort of a joke.
Leviathan Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Now that you finished your explanations about AMIGA "computers", the discussion can continue...
Leviathan Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 As for the famous Commodore and Apple II computers...
zerted Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Now that you finished your explanations about AMIGA "computers", the discussion can continue... I will be getting BattleFront 2 for one of my PC systems. It happens to have a Eyetop Centra for a screen.
Leviathan Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Eyetop Centra ? I didn't know this display systems' mark, before... PS : Have you noticed that this manufacturer's web-site has not a domain name finishing by ".com", even though this society sells products ?
zerted Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 I'm not sure what you mean by "I didn't know this display systems' mark, before..." but the website http://www.eyetop.com is already owned by another company. Website endings .com, .net, .gov, .tel, etc... are meaning less and less nowadays.
Leviathan Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Website endings .com, .net, .gov, .tel, etc... are meaning less and less nowadays. If you had to chose between "http://www.mywebsite.cz" and "http://www.mywebsite.com", which one would you select ?
zerted Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 I would choose .cz for the following reasons 1) its shorter than .com 2) a slashdot article: "nospmiS remoH writes "Wired is running an article about a guy with no money making furniture out of FedEx boxes. If that weren't strange enough, FedEx is going after him, legally citing the DMCA. Yes, the DMCA. Apparently they are not upset about the furniture itself but rather this site that he put up with pictures of his creations (pretty good work really). My favorite quote from the article, '...Avila clearly intended to operate a business from his website because he used the .com domain suffix, the "commercial level domain," rather than .net.' You just can't make this stuff up." " http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,68492,00.html FedEX won't win the legal battle, but why take the risk? What does .cz stand for?
DarthMuffin Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 I'll get it for PC. I don't have an XBOX or a PS2. If I had one of them (and it's not like I want to), I'd still get it on the PC simply because I know the overall graphics and game process will be better. I have also grown used to the keyboard and mouse to play shooters. PC also allows modding. I know next to nothing about programming myself, but if a game like KotOR can be modded, I don't see why BF2 could not, even if they don't release the "official" tools (and you have to admit that would be an extremely stupid decision anyway).
zerted Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 ...I don't see why BF2 could not, even if they don't release the "official" tools (and you have to admit that would be an extremely stupid decision anyway). An offical tool has been released for BF. The BF SDK (BF Software Development Kit). It is much better for the company when players mod the game. There is more fan support for the game, more people are decated to it, they take the best user mods and map then sell them in the next expansion pack, a few more people will buy the game, and it extends the life of the game.
Leviathan Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 The release of SWBF II's modding tools is unsure... Very unsure...
Keige Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 I have BF1 for the PS2 and PC. I bought it for the PS2 first because my PC sucked then, but it has no online. So then I waited for a pricedrop and bought the PC version. It's like a totally different game! I'm definatly getting the PC version.
Darth Alec Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 Getting the PC version of the game along with a PC game controller. The modding possebilties and new maps are atractive and 64 players are to many to ignore.
the_l337_one Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 xbox version of course! hopefully itll be among the first or second to be bc for the 360. i doubt it but heres hoping.
Stark Rhavyn Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 I'm for sure getting it for my Xbox but probably also for my Mac in the far future (which, BTW, is also not an option on this poll.)
BrainStorm Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 I have to buy it for the PC since I don't/won't own a console.
