I don't know what the game developers were thinking, especially given the number of times she boarded the train. I would say that was my only complaint with the game. |

Insistently double-clicking makes her run, though it helps to not click on your objective but on the ground in front of it. Still she is the most careful person I've ever seen board a train. |

I don't even remember if I was running or not--I probably was, but failing to see the run button is a very Don thing to do. Where's the button for the Sonic-esque Spin-Dash move?
For some reason the kids today like to consume their interactive epics in rpg rather than adventure form. I just wish those whippersnappers would quit playing WoW on my lawn. |

Hmm ... you still haven't posted photos from your Kansas trip. Those would be nice to see! |

Verizon's customer service policy seems to be along the lines of a dedication to provide the worst customer service ever; I've got five pages of notes about conversations with three different supervisors trying to figure out why my DSL wasn't working; at one point, one of their guys claimed to be having a conversation with a tech worker just a quarter mile from my house who had the problem isolated and 84% corrected, though the next person I spoke with (after the problem wasn't resolved by 6 that evening) told me that it would be impossible for that conversation to take place.
That having been said, how many times have you seen mismarked prices in merchant stores along the lines of 0.50 (cents symbol)? I really want to get two for a penny, but it's never happened. Then again, if the compoany were the size of verizon and had that many lawyers working for them, they ought to have their act together enough to know the difference between dollars and cents and deserve to be taken at their word. |

[ UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]
fxt: I'd like it to be included in linux distros so I'm working on the ability to do multi-user builds. This will have the facility to store the player file and downloaded levels in ~/.escape; etc. It won't support auto upgrade though, so single-user install will probably be recommended on most platforms. I will make the multi-user install only a single executable not requiring any "data dir".
I don't understand your rationale for calling the file structure terrible. |

[ UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]
Hey, very nice game you have there.
The Linux version is in dire need of a ~/.escape-game directory (or file) for user data. Without this the game simply will not function if installed for multiple users which is the case for binary packages for most (all?) Linux distro's. The game also needs to know where the data directory can be found and should be set at compile time. Now "make LINUX=true DYNAMIC=true" is good, but another DATADIR=/usr/share/escape-game (or whatever) option is needed.
The file structure is terrible and we need 1 data folder. Clarity could easily achieved by having a src/ for your code, data/ for the game data and perhaps other directories under that if you wish and junk/ for the junk. The binary can go in src/ or ./ it's not as important since it's only 1 file.
An install option for make would be handy but if at least the first two paragraphs are satisfied it should be easy enough for binary package maintainers to release your game in major Linux distros reaching a large audience.
Thanks for the game,
fxt.

[ Quake 3 Done! ]
Hi Q3 freaks.
I started playing quake 3 about 5 months ago. I've been reading all the posts and feel like a complete novice. I can't get past Anarky Q3DM17 (Hardcore) Its like the bots got cheats enabled, I hit him 3 times with a rocket (i get the ping noise) he only has to touch me with one rocket or a quick burst from the pulse gun and I"m a gonner. I can't believe a bloody game gets me so riled. A lot of fun though.
Awesome game!
any advice welcome: galacticblaxal@hotmail.com yeah spam my ass... |

Ok, my daughter earned 1080/sat I, so the score they are considering is about 740. So far, the only letters we have received were rejects. She has a ton of extra curr act, 3.0 gpa, excellent recomm ltrs but no acceptances. Any suggestions. |

Alright people.... Basically the SATS are messed up Its stupid how they dictate our future but they do. I got a 1560 on the NEW SAT I did get an 11 on my essay though. I'm applying to several colleges Ivys and non-Ivys. I'm already attending a University for my Senior year. I was a Congressional Page, 217 hours volunteer work 3.8 GPA did really really bad on SAT2s though. I'll let all you people know where I get accepted later so then maybe you can get an idea where you are. Just to let you know SATS and GPA aren't all that matter to a colleges.... sports, activities, community service play a big role in the application process. My sister is at Stanford. She got like a 1400 on the old SAT and a 3.8 GPA and did community service so you don't necessarily need perfect scores to get into good schools. Hope that somewhat helps you guys. Oh and if you get a low score and are all worried don't worry statistics show that the class of 2006 got the lowest SAT scores in the past 31 years... ( I did a research paper on it in college) Yes you guys... its because of the new SAT of course. Also think about it... Do you think famous people got fabulous SAT scores? A reporter asked Oprah her SAT scores and she refused to say... How come someone so influential be afraid to report SAT scores!!! So don't think your whole life is over if you did bad on the SAT. As TV's Conan O'Brien put it, "It has taken 20 years to forget the trauma of that damned test, and looking up my scores would be like going back to Vietnam." Retake them if you think you really did bad. |

Don: It doesn't speed up (unless you never figured out how to run?) so don't bother...
Adam: Actually I think adventure games are some of the best to play cooperatively with others. I used to play the *Quest and Monkey Island series with my brothers when we were young. Only one person control the action, but you can take turns on that and most of the fun is figuring out what to do and watching the story, you know?
K: Cool! Well, I think I'm booked through Christmas, but I'll be here afterwards for a few days. Will you be around? (Unfortunately I am feeling pretty wiped out right now from this illness..)
Nels: I haven't played Grim Fandango yet (except for the demo many years ago), I'm kinda saving that one for adventurpocalypse since I've heard it's very good.
Tad: The (wired) 360 controller is a good buy because it uses a USB connector and works on the PC without any drivers. Even the headset works! But I'd rather be able to plug in my wiimote...
Apple fans: I like how spotlight works and its globality but it doesn't seem very responsive; like, I have to wait for the search results to pop in before I can hit enter. Add-ins sound good. But I forgot the most annoying thing was when some dialog box came up and I couldn't say yes or no with the keyboard. I tried like every key... is there something I'm missing? I'm sure macmaster Sophia will show me ... how long you in town? |

Yeah, I usually use Spotlight for launching apps too. Or if you find yourself in Terminal often, you can do:
open -a "Application Name"
Moira: For accessing the File menu, there are a couple of ways to make it quicker. One is that you can toggle the Fn key behavior in System Preferences (whether F keys default to F keys Fn key lets you access computer controls, or the reverse). Then you don't necessarily need to use Fn key to access the menubar. That's how I have it set on my laptop, I prefer that. And then instead of hitting the arrow key twice, you can just hit the F key once. In general, you can begin typing names of menu items to select them.
Also, you don't need add-ons to change system keyboard shortcuts. Most of them can all be set in System Preferences.
Tom: I'll be bringing my MacBook to Hamden, so when we're there (I'll be arriving Christmas Eve), I can show all of the keyboard accessibility maneuvers that I know... |
