The rumour going about is that 3D Realms has handed the development of DNF to Gearbox Software. http://www.techspot.com/news/39933-rumor-duke-nukem-forever-being-developed-by-gearbox.html I would be thrilled if this means the game will come to light, but if it is true I can only hope that 3D Realms ...

A rather nice preview from Eurogamer which seems to describe the game quite well, especially for those who have not played Penumbra: "I'd previously seen something terrible. The ghastly, stretched face of a wretched creature. I'd turned from a rockfall and it evaporated in front of me before I ...

As it has been a little quiet around here as of late, I have decided to post about an upcoming game I have been following. Amnesia: The Dark Descent is the latest project of the independent development studio Frictional Games who previously made the epic Penumbra horror trilogy. I first played throu...

You can rip your own DVDs, and nobody will stop you.

So, if I am reading this right, what I did with the New Zealand DVD's would be legal in the United States but may no longer be acceptable in Canada?

Take pride, you have finally made us look really bad.

I was browsing on MobyGames recently, when I saw Caleb's face had popped up on the main page. This was because someone had done a new user review of Blood II: The Chosen which is actually quite good. Though I disagree with the claim that the game is not exceptional; considering it is the only game w...

Yay, more reason to be proud of my New Zealand citizenship (by descent). Other than a few minor qualms, such as the fact they banned Postal 2 from sale, it is a much saner place.

True, but after the Region is cracked I can play the DVD from VLC. Thus there is more value in cracking it rather than buying a multi-region dvd player, which is why traditional copyright does not work. People will pay money if they get more value from purchasing the product rather than using it thr...

Considering the weapons in question were taken from screenshots of YouTube videos, he could probably get a better and legal effect by going to, say, Wikimedia Commons and finding appropriate images of Axes or Assault Rifles. Do a little magic in Photoshop or The GIMP and Voila! Perfectly legal and u...

Michael Geist, a Canadian law professor who highlighted the new proposal, sums it up as a properly balanced approach that doesn't buy into the "more is better" approach to copyright protections. "In other words, the Brazilian proposals recognizes what the Supreme Court of Canada stat...

A little warning LifeKILLED, due to recent unpleasantness the moderators of this forum will not allow threads about something which potentially breaches copyright. The most common example of this is projects which take Blood content and place it on other engines or technology, even those made by Mon...

Ah, yes...

FUN FACT: If you fire the napalm at the wall right next to where you respawn in rapid succession you can repeatedly see yourself die... in third-person...

I remember reading that QStudios actually merged with Monolith, so what you are asking is not "what would have happened if QStudios had finished the game" as it was the same people working on the project pretty much from start to finish. It is still an interesting question, but not quite p...

Any game made within the past six-ten years not ported to Linux...

Still, I do not understand the sadistic pleasure some people get from ripping games, even if they do suck...

Now films on the other hand...

Well, in that case, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.

For those of you who are running Transfusion from a Linux based system, you may be encountering a sound error such as the one below: Sound Initialization /dev/dsp: No such file or directory Could not open /dev/dsp S_Startup: SNDDMA_Init failed. This is not a bug in Transfusion itself, but is instead...
