"But even in version 1.0, the iPhone is still the most sophisticated, outlook-changing piece of electronics to come along in years. It does so many things so well, and so pleasurably, that you tend to forgive its foibles." Sounds nice, but it does have it's issues: "Making a call, though, can take as many as six steps: wake the phone, unlock its buttons, summon the Home screen, open the Phone program, view the Recent Calls or speed-dial list, and select a name. Call quality is only average, and depends on the strength of your AT&T signal." "There’s no memory-card slot, no chat program, no voice dialing. You can’t install new programs from anyone but Apple; other companies can create only iPhone-tailored mini-programs on the Web. The browser can’t handle Java or Flash, which deprives you of millions of Web videos." "And you can’t send picture messages (called MMS) to other cellphones." "Then there’s the small matter of typing. Tapping the skinny little virtual keys on the screen is frustrating, especially at first." "Two things make the job tolerable. First, some very smart software offers to complete words for you, and, when you tap the wrong letter, figures out what word you intended. In both cases, tapping the Space bar accepts its suggestion. Second, the instructional leaflet encourages you to “trust” the keyboard (or, as a product manager jokingly put it, to “use the Force”). It sounds like new-age baloney, but it works; once you stop stressing about each individual letter and just plow ahead, speed and accuracy pick up considerably." |

first Hitman (the Movie) (The game) trailer
Off-Topic Discussion « General Discussion 6/26/07 12:40:58 PM
I did get some Hitman feel from the trailer. Some of the scenes looked like it was taken right out of the games. But I must say I don't like the star either, he looks to young and innocent. |

Pirates of the Burning Sea: Flying Lab Inks Deal With SOE
News Discussion « General Discussion 6/26/07 9:28:01 AM
Looks like SOE is trying to get their hand in basically everything in the mmo market. Atleast on the publisher side. Looks like they may be trying to beat the competition this way. |

Poll: when do you think BioWare MMO will hit the shelves?
Off-Topic Discussion « General Discussion 6/25/07 3:02:34 PM
Will most likely take some time. Btw isn't Bioware working on a Sonic Rpg for the DS now? |

DX10 not that complicated? Vista only Shadowrun playable on XP
Off-Topic Discussion « General Discussion 6/25/07 11:40:56 AM
I don't think it is a pure Direct X 10 game. It doesn't use anything of the fancy Direct X 10 effects. It looks like another Direct X 9 game. So it shouldn't be to hard to make it run on Xp, and this shows it isn't to hard

You can just as well make a Rappelz clone with the Cry Engine. Regarding the movies, well they didn't impress me. To be honest I just turned my expectations way down. Environments look good, but besides that I wasn't impressed. |

Age of Conan... give it the hype it deserves
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion 6/22/07 3:01:49 PM
A soon as they start showing more than 1 class, and one type of gameplay I might consider it. Seriously, the game is slated for release the 30th of October.

Can't wait for this. It looks really cool. The modern shooter genre really needs it. Most of it is just multiplayer shooters, tactical action and so on. Can't think of any really awesomely scripted modern military shooters right now. So it's needed

They upgraded the sound engine. I would suggest you check out your soundcard drivers.
I haven't had any troubles with the sounds after the patch. |
