They are recruiting people for a console team, I guess that's the final nail in the coffin. --------------------------------------------- |

Yeah, because Diablo, Warcraft II and Starcraft were never ported to consoles. And Blizzard always used to make PC games. Oh wait. _________________________________________________ |

What I fear is that they will steer the development of the game towards the console interface requirements (Oblivion, anyone?). I guess we will have to wait and see, but I'm leery about it to say the least. --------------------------------------------- |

They already tried once with Starcraft: Ghost. It was going to be N64 only and I think I recall everyone being angry at that notion. But these days with Activision steering them, I can actually see this becoming a reality. Perhaps PC gaming is dying and Blizzard wants a bigger piece of the casual gamer pie. Imagine Starcraft: Wii! It has gamecube-era graphics, and you can swing your arm to command your army where to go. "Go over there!" you exclaim proudly, as your siege tanks begin moving. As the Zerg commander, you can also push wildly back and fourth into the air to help the creep come out of the ground! ಠ_ಠ -----sig: |

Think of how easy it is to program something that works on your computer, and if everybody else had a clone of your computer. Also, it's much harder to pirate games.

Well, as companies move away from PC it means business gets better for those who stay on PC. Less competition FTW. |

Matthew Leverton said: You're looking at the percentages wrong.
Maybe I should take up smoking to lower the probability that I'll die from something other than lung cancer. There are a lot of other ways to die, and by the sounds of things smoker have a significantly reduced chance of dieing from any of them (other than lung cancer). ----------- |

Unfortunately, 93.3% of smokers die before they turn 40. |

Also from your article: wikipedia said: Smoking reduces the risk of Kaposi's sarcoma in people without HIV infection.[116] One study found this only with the male population and could not draw any conclusions for the female participants in the study.[117]
Wikipedia's page about Kaposi's sarcoma said: Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a tumor caused by Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8), also known as Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). It was originally described by Moritz Kaposi (KUH-po-shee), a Hungarian dermatologist practicing at the University of Vienna in 1872.[1] It became more widely known as one of the AIDS defining illnesses in the 1980s. The viral cause for this cancer was discovered in 1994. Although KS is now well-established to be caused by a virus infection, there is widespread lack of awareness of this even among persons at risk for KSHV/HHV-8 infection[2].
My latest test said that I don't have any type of HIV. As I'm a smoker, I'm perhaps more subject to lung tumor, but at least I'll avoid this one: "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |

A smoker told me that as a result of smoking they require an injection in their junk to get it up (and I'm talking like late 20s or 30s)! -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

I'm 28 and my junk is just waiting for your review. Cm'on BamBam, I'm French, I drink wine all time, I have a bloody blood pressure all the time. If you don't want all these silly things to happen to you, all these things you told, then don't smoke. "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |
