Acumen

Actually I'm in my mid-twenties, but thanks for all the encouragement, guys. I'll be taking my test thirteen hours from now. But I don't see any reason why I shouldn't pass it; I've been practicing so much lately, I'm starting to change gear in my sleep.

Foxy ladies, my contact details can be made available if you're interested.

I don't plan to start a habit of uploading forwarded attachments, but Jason has approved this one, and thought you might appreciate its pertinency.

The trouble with that is that (at least initially) we expect to distribute the game predominantly over the Internet. Under those conditions, we need to keep the filesize as small as possible to increase market potential. Also we want to give a lot of power to the modding community, so the tools to make in-game cutscenes and storyboards are ultimately going to be used more by the community. Thus, we're probably better off sticking to teaser trailers where we have the opportunity to do movies (and to be honest, there are a lot of things that are currently more pressing). Of course, if anybody with strong cinematic skills wants to come aboard, we certainly won't complain!

I guess I'm one of them. Never had a problem with Win95, fast and efficient, no frills, but 98 is buggy as all heck on my system (regular crashes, icons disappearing, dreadful memory management). Unfortunately I had to upgrade (yes, 98SE was an upgrade for me) to get our antiquated wireless network to work, as there is next to no network support in '95. Equally, no driver support in future versions of Windows, so I'm stuck until I get my own Internet connection.

From the forum of Renderosity, a Poser developers' resource. It's a long story, but if you're really interested, you can read my staff interview: http://www.wildfiregames.com/0ad/pages/acumenint.shtml *shameless self-promotion*

Bucks? Gold? Cash? Money? Moolah? Wealth? Loot? Coins? Karma? Lucre? Sterling? Shekels? Tokens? Gelt? Jink? Credits?

If all goes well, I should have my driver's license this Friday. I sure hope so, as it'll be my fourth attempt at the test.

Possibly exclusive access to media only visible to members? (that is, the full list of eyecandy (images/concepts/screenshots), not just the cream that appear in news posts). Personally I'm hoping that ALL media distributed through the intranet will wind up in the Media section of the new site (but filtered for non-staff).

OH yes. Feel free to start over if you like. The attribute list is simplistic enough to not be worth the effort anymore, now that it's not integrated with other resources.

I must be getting old (or I have too many titles in my sig). I can't remember the last time I actually sat down and watched TV. Well, maybe the occasional covert episode of BtVS ... When I do feel the need to look at a screen that doesn't come with a keyboard, it has to be silver, span an entire wall, and include a foyer booth selling ludicrously expensive popcorn. And double-chocolate ice-cream. Mmm, icecream ...

Welcome, Larry. But if you think this DD is long, you should have seen its predecessor.

1-2.5 hours to get from one side of the city to the other by bus, via two (rarely) connecting buses. Thank you City Council for providing us with a reliable, efficient public transport service. ... Hmm, did that qualify as a flame?

The fact that they would suddenly have to revert to English to do so would also be a bit strange. I understand where you're coming from with it, Tim (I love those Blizzard clips too), but it's not really feasible in this case for consistency reasons. Keep in mind also that if we had any English voiceovers, there would have to be a version of them for each language we support. One advantage of this method is that the audio is universal (ie hardly anybody will be able to understand it).

I guess I'm the only guy on the planet who still uses Win 98 SE ...

Well, if we had to narrow the scope down to public places, I think that comparatively that would be first choice. I think we've officially descended into toilet humour ...

One more *bump* to add to my post count ...

"Kodak Purchase Rights to Prehistoric Recording Equipment Shock"

Street cred? My father works at Jaguar, so we get this special deal where you rent a brand new vehicle on a monthly basis, then trade it in for a new one at the end of every year. The options are very limited, but since insurance, tax and MOT are all included, it saves a lot of hassle. So I'm currently driving an aqua Ford KA (I get a great rate too, presumably as it only has two doors). The bummer is that I don't have a license. Failed it three times, and my fourth is coming up in a couple of weeks.

*looks at his own post count* I work too hard ...

It's really great to have you back, Brad. Let me know if you have any questions about 0 A.D. (you should have my email).

That's a really inventive use for those textures, Jason. Sleek work.

I'd have to vote for the Persians. It's kind of an occupational hazard (on account of being responsible for designing them).

Hardcore civ-on-civ action ...
