If you think about it, how could anyone escape from the Matrix? Maybe what they think they know about "freeing minds" is nothing more than, say, creating another instance of a variable or class in programming. As long as you've got enough memory, there's no limit to the number of different...

Souds interesting, I may have to try it out. I was thinking about making a Pilgrim's Progress-based game at one time. I may yet attempt it in the future, with the right tools and knowledge (I'm thinking about liscensing the Torque engine for such projects).

Exactly what are you looking for as far as "depth?" The Matrix has one of the deepest plots I've ever seen in movies. In that kind of plot, special effects are kind of a necessity. I wouldn't say that they're holding the movie up on those entirely. They're doing a lot of things in both realms...

Sure, anytime.

I'm sure it would, if your P3 500 MHz has a decent video card. My laptop had an 8MB Generic Crapware chipset. Supported something that looked like Direct3D and smelled like Direct3D, but didn't quite perform as Direct3D should...so, it was software rendering for me.

This is one of the topics on which I'll pull the "Ultima Avatar" theory, in saying, "It's not magic...it's squares!" One doesn't kill or use magic in a video game. One changes the properties of a set of varbiables, causing a different set of animations to be played, and changing the state of a...

I'll be praying too.

Maybe I should install Halflife and play it again...last time I played it was on my 850 MHz craptop. I'm thinking my current system will negotiate it a little better ;-).

This is good news. I was thinking about getting UT2k3 for a while. I'll just wait and get UT2k4. I especially wanted to see Assault again :-).

I'll have to see the PC version I guess. Something to try :-).

Looks like it might be worth it. The idea of having overall strategy where you have to take over one area at a time against an opposing team is intriguing, I like games like that :-). I've seen this in stores for a while now, I might end up getting it. When underway, good single player games are...

SUPER SMASH BROTHERS :-D!

I don't know why, exactly, maybe I just played the game too late or something. Although Half-Life had some cool stuff as far as storyline and gameplay, there wasn't much that really grabbed me to become a big fan of it. That, and I never really found the ending to the game (I got to the part...

Hehehe...it was just a given that a joke like that would pop up at some point :-). I should try boarding a plane with those...I wonder if they'll let me on...

Such is the beauty of getting the movie on DVD, one can skip scenes like that. I personally didn't care for it either, it certainly lent to a different overall feel in the movie. I'd be more likely to just not watch that segment. I rather liked the music in that scene though, I thought it was an...

I'm praying for you too. Man, been a while since I've been here...I've been unable to connect for a long time for some reason. Oh well, I'm sure a little digging around will reveal an admin message about it somewhere that I missed :-).

Someone sent this to me recently. I don't personally send on FWDs, I don't even like the concept, but I thought that the message in this one merited sharing it in some way :-). Please excuse the guilt-you-into-forwarding-it blurb at the end.

This is completely from a non-parenting perspective, so all moms/dads are free to bash me later :-). People always need someone they can trust in. The truth is, those confidences are almost never parents, and that's never likely to change. While the parents probably shouldn't be kept in the...

w00t, I'll have to get that patch :-). Yeah, I've never played on b.net, and I don't plan to. It's just more fun when the people you're playing with are there in person :-). Unless, of course, they're the people you were talking baout being on b.net usually...
