Not sure what you're getting at but in LSDL everything happens on one thread, the game takes input from the user, sends/recieves network data, then updates the screen. So, both games are affected by the sending/recieving of the network data. This way the games never go out of sync BUT it means...

heh, reasonable is okay!

If this is like the Amiga version, with destructable backgounds, then I would love to know how this would be approached by somebody else. With LSDL, I have constant communication, so every frame is updated from the network data. This means that the overall framerate is dependant on the ping...

Go on - entertain us!

Well, whilst my Dad digs Ubuntu he can't get to grips with Android and switches back to his dumb-phone, despite being marvelled at the GPS software on his Android phone. I think it's because he has fat fingers though. I also, find touch-screens incredibly annoying and miss proper-keys for...

Well, here's mine - but it's quite rubbish as quite frankly I'm rubbish at drawing!

Very very sad but serves as an important reminder to ensure we have good relationships with our children so they can let us know if something is bothering them.

Is this like the Amiga game Gravity Force (and later Gravity Power)? If so, this is awesome! Thanks! If so, is it two-player?

Oh and of course thanks to Milkshake for making the amazing repo system!

Thanks Prometheus and WizardStand for putting my mind at rest! I was getting a bit worried I bought my son a rubbish device (I don't know anybody who owns one and haven't even read any reviews - I guess I'm a bit of a Nintendo 'fanboi' huh Milkshake?) Now, how do I go about purchasing...

Excellent stuff. I think when you're comparing numbers of apps between devices, you have to look at the proportion of owners (of said device) to the number of apps. I wonder how Pandora matches up? I have no idea what the values are and I don't really care to be honest, 400 programs is an...

Hang on, what is? What ocean said? I hope it is bollocks as I've just bought one for my son and I was looking forward to it as well! I haven't played much on one apart from in shops. I'm thinking if the 3D effect is a pain, you switch it off, Mario should still be ace without 3D surely?

To be honest the cab itself looks pretty rubbish but it's the software setup and small hardware mods that make it interesting to me: Here's a small video of my son paying on it https://www.youtube.com/embed/N7UdItx3M9A?feature=oembed There are others on there but they're before I installed the...

Hmmm, further explanation required. Do you dislike people who like 'stuff' over other 'stuff'? Does that define a fanboi? It does indeed boil down to personal preference though yes. I have a strong dislike for big corporations and capitalism even though I understand that without the capitalist...

Lol. I did exactly that when I was a kid too. I remember the buckle hitting me in the teeth! Ouch!

Yes, I find myself typing man 'prog-name' on windows at work. I do like that about linux.

Heh, I do agree with you on that. I _do_ put myself through some crap for seemingly no reason what-so-ever! But I just got bored of windows very quickly. I don't play games that take up loads of time, I much prefer figuring stuff out and although gaming offers that it seems a tad pointless most...

Ah, interesting I haven't heard that one! I haven't followed them in that much detail. I did pick up a copy of 'Everyone loves a happy ending' a few years ago, which I loved. One to stick on my Christmas list, thanks :-) I would be very suprised if it matched The Hurting (perfection IMO) but I...

I wish that my family all get along over the break. I hope my son doesn't go too insane when he opens his new 3DS and isn't too dissappointed that he doesn't have a Pandora. Oh, I also hope I come up with a half decent present for my missis. I also wish you the best of luck with your family...

I lost my actual vinyl collection years ago but I think the best record ever made is probably Tear for Fears - The Hurting...
