That's actually a damn good question given how it would sell :D

Re: E-Commerce website questions


May I ask what site you maintain so I can get a feel for the end result?
With the proviso that I'm in the process of reigning in the design with a strict site-wide template at the moment (next version of the site will basically build itself from an xml file of products), sure :D This page here ...

Re: E-Commerce website questions

I use Mal's eCommerce for the site I maintain, the benefits being that we don't have to maintain a bunch accounts, don't have to deal with payment processing, the API (insofar as it can be called such) is fairly straightforward, the cart page is customisable enough and the free version is plenty ...

Re: Goatup 2?

Loving this! I have noticed, though, that from time to time either the direction controls or jumping controls will stop responding for a bit. I'm specifically not getting confused about needing an object in tow to double-jump -- for example I just died on Devout Fish Craze because my poor little ...

Eh? You'd have thought he would have done all 100 (and then some) while writing/researching the book! Hardly the most authoritatively written tome, then.

Re: Opinions - Creative Zen or ipod Touch

One of my colleagues has gone through two Touch's already, both developing the same fault (unresponsive Home button), both within a few weeks -- if you're thinking of buying one I would seriously give it a couple of weeks and keep checking around the spod forums to make sure this isn't a general ...

How many game producers can we name? I bet all of them have long histories and a list of games to their name as long as your arm!

What has Jade Raymond done?

We have Rod, Gorecki and others in this thread likening her to Miyamoto and Molyneux!!!

The *only* reason *I* know her is because she's ...

Really?! The point, quite obviously, is that we can all cherry pick examples to support just about any 'rules' we can think of. You, by your own admission just above, have no clue whether your R-Type bullet hypothesis is in any way analogous to the experience SG delivers.

No, I was comparing it ...

Or imagine a Resident Evil outing where some of the enemies were barely visible by design because the whole point of it was to pick them out and... oh wait, we've already had that and it was a great game. Not really sure things being tricky to spot necessarily indicates brokenness.

Aw heck, maybe ...

If the reviewer genuinely couldn't see the enemies once he got to a certain level then that's game-breaking. Imagine playing R-Type but you could only discern 10% of the bullets and the rest only appeared when they were a few inches from your craft?

reinforce '18' rating means dont buy this for your pre-teens you technilliterate muppet!

That's not what the rating really means, though, is it. Outside of the realms of statutory abuse parents have the freedom to decide whether or not something is 'for' their kids or not in their own homes ...

If Apple truly believes that removing DRM from music (and presumably movies) will create a multi-industry boon in sales, why not carry it over to their line of software?


Well because (i)Apple's Mac software isn't supposed to be interoperable between platforms and (ii)removing its DRM would not ...
