Good, we're missing you. I was actually planning on annoying some people by registering my dislike of some projcts that people are working on and kicking off about the fact that none of my maps have appeared on map review sites yet (hint, hint people!) despite the fact they are leaps ahead of some of the other "noob" maps around today.

I can't sign in to YouTube any more... My second channel is fine though.

Oh and what the deal with that "breaking news" Charlie Sheen thing at the top of Duke4's homepage???

I happen to find it fucking hilarious. I can't watch the video because I'm not at home but I find the whole situation with Charlie Sheen to be funny. Also, I know that Carlos Estevez is actually Charlie Sheen's real name (which makes the article funnier).

You are just thick.

Gee, thanks

I can't watch that video in Australia, which is bloody annoying.

[High Treason]

Anybody know any good alternatives to YouTube... Preferably somewhere where I can upload gaming related videos without being penalised.

Ack, that'll serve me right for generalizing won't it I actually liked your map, I just felt like having a rant and being arrogant at that time, I would go as far as saying (whilst digging myself even deeper into the same hole no doubt) that one of my maps was better than 80% of the experienced mappers here, because they are all boring pussies who don't try anything new.

@ High Treason
options for YouTube
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qi...04234205AAj22GH
or
your own site. http://www.bluehost.com/
Here (Canada), all I have to do is avoid one Big Mac & Coke per month and I got my own www. + Playing Admin is a shitload of fun, even on Unix.

[High Treason]

Hmm... Everywhere seems to point to DailyMotion, chances are I'll end up going back on there.

I'd put it on my own site, but I am completely against using hosting services, especially ones that aren't using IIS. I already have my own site via free hosting at DynDNS, so technically all I would need from another site is somewhere to stash video files, but as I said, half the reason I am leaving YouTube is the captalist monopoly and that is how I see most hosts. Unfortunately I can not host videos on my own system as there is insufficient bandwidth - and I have an extremely fast connection compared with most (including business lines) in my area at 9.4Mbit/s - even if there was enough bandwidth, it would cost me a way too much with the one ISP available in the area.

[Hank]

IIS, is that not from Microsoft? Just food for thought, my own server would cost $2500 loaded. Fully functioning on broadband is another $70/mo because at home I won't get a business license. I rather buy my next computer for half that to play games. But if you want stuff online, think socialistic, share with others one good server. Or let's agree again to disagree, hosts are not capitalists they are socialistic thinkers.

[High Treason]

Yeah, I'll agree to disagree, except on your pricing, I can get a reasonable server for less than that (The second hand market, my first server was an 80386 running DOS 5.0 and was free, now I use and Atom that cost less than £250 total) - my current broadband is upwards of £20 a month, but I could get over 50Mbit/s Synchronous for less almost anywhere else in the country - yeah, we only have ADSL in my area - save for a couple of WISPs that will give you 2Mbit/s SDSL for about £1200 a month (Not a typo!), it blows.

And yes, IIS is from Microsoft, as are Front Page Server Extensions, everything else doesn't make the grade, especially PHP, if it can't be done in ASP/Java, it isn't worth doing.

[Hank]

You and I should make a competition: Microsoft developed languages versus the rest of the world.
I start, even so I still officially hate Open Source shit;
http://drupal.org/ class A stuff, all with PHP, superfine and flexible web development tool.

Your turn, show me the best ASP has to offer.

I know there's one they use a lot in china (which I can't remember the name of) because it isn't banned there and has extremely slack copyright enforcement.

[High Treason]

@Hank; Bah, that's Content Management, I never touch the stuff... I think FrontPage has a bunch of templates for things like that, but I have never used them so I honestly can not say what they are like, but they will use ASP, so I am willing to bet they are a lot more efficient on the server than the PHP equivalent.

As you know ASP was replaced with ASP.net, to make it faster, and as .net is based on C++. PHP is based on C and is as fast as you understand programming, i.e. It's limited only to your knowledge, for speed. As for samples of both languages, I gave you Drupal, because I think it's versatile. I assumed you will reply with Umbraco umbraco.com Then I would have hit you with phpbb and you would have found whatever. In the end, your browser needs to be able to read it, and that is still (X)HTML(#).

As for FrontPage, I thought it's dead? I used what was then NetObject Fusion, the simplest WYSIWYG editor about ten years ago.

[High Treason]

Maybe, but I've never used any CMS or garbage like that, I usually write everything myself - or in the case of the old ASP forums I had, a friend wrote them.

Problem with PHP is that the interpreter is a complete pile of crap, uses near 100% of the CPU just to display an index page to one user.

As far as I am aware, FrontPage and FrontPage Server Extensions are still around, but my 2008 machine died before I could do anything with it - beyond watching the temp suddenly fly up and the CPU burst into flames - it was shit anyway and I can't remember much about it. I don't rely on the actually FrontPage editor much to be honest, I use it to construct one page with the table layout I want and do all of the editing in Notepad or the HTML mode in FrontPage (Like notepad with syntax highlighting) if I am away from home, as the connectivity is very good.

This is a scandal. My nose tells me someone did not know how to handle threads. Anyways, so far my first ever page 0.08 sec loaded, well, I cheated, I am playing with VirtualBox from Oracle, so it's on the same machine, and it's only text, in three columns, no images.

Also, should you come across a good WYSIWYG, let me know. There is no way I'll get Adobe.

Didn't matter what I loaded, even third party, I ran PHPBB and it took up 100% of the CPU just to display the page. Apparently the issue is less apparent in Unix, but as you know, I think Unix should be outlawed. And don't get me started on SQL, that can go and burn for all I care, works for a minute or so and then crashes and locks me out permanently, even after re-installing MySQL. Access Databases are the way to go... Or better, Flat Files!

Dunno about good editors, but I can agree with you on Adobe, they can go and die in a fire (as a company).

Hey High Treason, you can try uploading your vids to http://blip.tv/

There are some nice old school shows being uploaded there, such as Lazy Game Reviews http://lazygamereviews.blip.tv/ and Ancient DOS Games http://ancientdosgames.blip.tv/

You should give it a try, the audio and video quality is very nice.

[High Treason]

Hoho! Why did I never think of Blip... Didn't think it was free, might start me an account and test it out! That seems to be just what I am looking for!

Oh, and I already know about LGR, I'm a big fan of Phreakindee... Actually, I secretly compete with him to an extent - "Oh, you got a 5150? Ya? Well, I got a TeraDrive!"

I always wondered why they killed off Ashley Magnus on Sanctuary, but now I understand.

The iphone version was only a port, and not the retro remake that had been leaked out. All I can say is a serious effort is being made to move forward on the retro remake project and a developer has already started prototyping.

Wow Prey 2! Awesome! The text underneath basically says "nobody was waiting for it, but that's about to change" although a more literal transation (with but with english sytax) is "nobody waited it but it's going to change"
