[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="33" id="3473370"]Maybe it's because I never really "got" Minecraft, but those pictures all look incredibly dated even compared to WoW, not to mention games with actual high requirements like Skyrim (modded) and crysis. [/quote] Minecraft has a couple apects that I think many people here would like. - exploration and building. It includes finding a good location to build a house (sound familiar?) and searching for materials you need t

[quote who="starkers" reply="13" id="3472952"] There's NO such thing as a God given right [/quote] Yes I know. That's why I put a "rolling eyes" smiley after the comment. It was meant as a "tongue in check" remark.

[quote who="starkers" reply="11" id="3472875"] What annoys, and scares me about new technology are the people who will use it for undesirable reasons... eg, using 3D printers to make guns and/or other weapons to inflict harm or death on others. If it were up to me, I'd have some software mechanism in ALL 3D printers that prevented users making guns, knives and other offensive weapons that kill and maim. The fact that gun creation was even mentioned is a worry..

[quote quoting="post"] I can't imagine how this would be more than a trivial coding effort to fix. Suggestion: decide on a creative flavour of naming for each faction and make a long list of names in an xml file that the game draws upon. That way, modders will extend your work for free.

59? The right answer is 42.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="138" id="3472043"] We sold 10,000 copies of LH last week alone. [/quote] Just curious if you know..., out of every 100 people who buy LH, how many become long term players? I figure one time sales aren't as important as people periodically buying new DLC's.

[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="3" id="3471969"]No, it isn't. If someone even so much as thinks about making their own firearms receivers with 3d printing, the BATF is going to be kicking their doors down SWAT-style and throwing the book at them afterwards. And the book of firearms laws is extremely large and heavy. [/quote] Unless someone tries to mass produce them for sale, the gov't would never know.

I wonder how much the "ink" catridges for a 3-D printer costs. I'll bet $1M that they'll follow HPs example, and will use the "Gillette Model" http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/08/razor-blade-model.asp In any case, it's a Prepper's dream, because now they can make their own guns.

Windows 8, regardless of the platform used, needs to die.

[quote who="Island Dog" reply="89" id="3471847"] Quoting Borg999, reply 88 Quoting Frogboy, reply 85 I look forward to going into detail shortly in the founder's vault. How and when will we be able to access the Founder's vault? There will be a Founders vault site where users who purchased can access all the stuff, pretty much like the GCIII vault. [/quote]

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="15" id="3471764"]The iOS market is Anemic. The android market doesn't exist. we did a lot of research and interviews with developers, some of which make apps that are well known and the sales are abysmal. It's a fine add on market but you wouldn't want a company spending time targeting it. [/quote] If it was known that mobile sales were abysmal prior to the development of Dead Man's Draw, then the only reason I can thin

[quote who="neone6" reply="62" id="3471282"] Borg: reading your comments on my skins I would say you're def 100% er good luck with that [/quote] I'm confused. I don't recall ever commenting on your skins.

I'm completely confident that E2015 will be great, but I want to bring up potential issues with Founders programs and early access. The main reason I didn't participate in the GC3 program was because I was concerned that my 3 year old computer might not meet the system requirements. I guess I should have considered that regarding E2015 as well. But this is the primary issue I have with sight-unseen games.

I'm in as well. Waits patiently for Founders Badge. I mean, why should the GC3 founders have all the glory?... [e digicons]:)[/e]

I'm easy. If I can see the individual pixels that compose the objects in the game, I would consider a game dated.

[quote who="moshi" reply="11" id="3470751"] Quoting Borg999, reply 7 the market for "pay to download plus in-app-purchases" is already tiny for iOS. for Android such a market does not exist. [/quote] All the more reason to launch it on a platform where the greatest potential customer base (current SD customers) is.

Just curious. If it was known that most SD customer use Android devices, and that the phone app market is like a lottery, why was Dead Man's Draw released for the Iphone? It just seems like SD would have had greater sales if the app was designed for Android devices because there is a large "pre made" market for the product with existing SD customers.

I just got an email from "Apple" telling me "in order to get back into your account, you'll need to confirm some information" I don't, and never had an Apple account. It's almost certainly a scam.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="8" id="3469392"] That's interesting to hear. I'll keep that in mind next time I make a thread called "Make money at home!"

[quote who="the_Monk" reply="13" id="3469269"] I think the comment above regarding Firefox not being 'competitive' in today's world is spot on. With smartphones and tablets (that have certain other browsers 'baked-in' offering better performance etc.) becoming (if not already there) the media-consumption device more and more people reach for when wanting to 'quickly look up that thing' or to 'show that friend that cool video' etc. etc.

[quote who="Island Dog" reply="4" id="3469341"]There are certain threads that attract a bunch of auto-spammers. Keywords...whatever they search and are attracted for. That thread was attracting a bunch of them so it was deleted. [/quote] That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!

[quote who="Island Dog" reply="1" id="3469330"]I don't remember the thread and if it turned out as a scam, them it would need to stay deleted. [/quote] Ok, so the mods don't have the ability to delete a single post within a thread, they have to delete the entire thread? My link was legit , the spammer's link was a scam.

First, I apologize in advance if this isn't the right place to discuss this... Several months ago, I started a thread about a website that could help reduce prescription cost. It was a legitimate site, and I provided a link from Consumer Reports to support it legitimacy. It seems a few days ago, someone posted a link in my thread to a website that's known to be a scam. As a result, it appears that the entire thread was deleted, not just the post with the scam site

Just another potential revenue source. Extentions that were once free will now cost some small amount.
