Fuck this place

MykeP was his name ... a top fella too! Sadly Demon Star never really went far whilst based in France. Apart from that Myke is well and firing on all retro's up in Chester.

Thats the fella! Yeah, I remember the move to France, but then I vanished from BC for a bit and then it closed anyway. Glad hes still keeping well

To be fair he did say this:

I'm a big fan of remakes of old games, on two conditions - that the author doesn't steal the credit for inventing the game, and that they don't charge for it.

...stuff...

TBH I pretty much agree, but Stu hardly helps himself sometimes now does he?

Oh, you've hit the nail on the head there. You should see some of Yak and Stu's fallouts, just the same stuff back and fourth. It's oddly disturbign because I like them both, think of them as intelligent and observant people, yet can't stop reading the stuff. Madness, is it not?

Anyway, it's happened now. If things change and stuff is the fallouts are put behind us all... it just doesn't seem likely though, does it?

Indeed, but having a go at the coders is hardly the way forward ... if any real issue is apparent then the chain of command surely rides with whoever commisioned the remake.

Is fdave complaining about the fact that the Rev was basically standing up for the author of GW2 in the face of C&D type action from MS?

The bloke's clearly guilty of many things, but I fail to see how this is hypocrisy.

Shame, I like the Rev's contributions, and don't really have the time for another forum.

Phagh! Stuart, it's physically impossible that you've had half the kicking I've had being associated with this bunch.

Then again, I stick around for the people who are worth it, and fuck the rest.

I still sometimes cherish the phrase:

"Just fuck off out of our lives you disgusting, vicious, violent alky cunt".

Sometimes you can gague the value of a man by the enemies who accrues. Then again, Stuart, you really do just love to shit-stir. But anyway.

Why? What's the problem old bean?

Jeez Stu, so you got caught out.....get over it.

Actually, I hadn't even seen that, someone only this minute pointed it out to me. It's rampantly idiotic shite of course - as anyone who bothered their bollocks to read the FIRST TWO FUCKING SENTENCES of my post and understands English can plainly see, it wasn't the cloning I objected to in either the football game or the trainspotting game, it was the refusal to acknowledge credit and the selling for profit, neither of which Grid Wars 2 is guilty of - but heck, now that I've seen it I'm extra glad to be leaving for completely unrelated reasons. I mean, really. The VERY FIRST TWO FUCKING SENTENCES, you stupid, lazy, illiterate dicks.

After the recent debacle of Train-Tracking, it's dismaying to see someone else ripping off another of Sensible Software's games, without a single credit or acknowledgement and charging money for it.

Just wanted to clear that up. I won't trouble any of you again.

and it's worth adding that I knew nothing of the origional, I was asked to work on the sound side ... I dident even know what the actual game was till I flew out to France to see what was going on.

Er. OK. So why then? Out of interest like.

I don't much care for the Rev....he can be unecessarily rude and abrasive at times. My knee-jerk response was to side with him on that issue, simply because of standing up for the little guy. Saying that, the reasons the Rev gave for putting the fully registered pirated game from a small developer on his site seemed well off to me, as did having such a go at the guy who did Championship Soccer.

True, sometimes some IP is ripped off, but at the same time, you need to be really careful about that issue because otherwise if you're too keen on that idea, almost nothing would get made. I know IP is a hot topic in the Age of the IntraWeb, but companies threatening to haul lone devs into court over it just seems wrong to me.

I guess what I'm trying to say (and I've been kicked once tonight on here for not being clear about what I mean) is that it basically wasn't Stu's place to decide that issue to the point of posting the fully registered game online. On the other hand, it still think it was a little unfair for Bizarre to pull a C&D as were the reasons they gave against what was just a freebie title written by one guy. So I have some sympathy there too.

Gah...I don't know....

Well I think that's a fucking shame. I really enjoy The Rev's posts.
Congratulations on finally hounding him out of here to all those who've been hell bent on doing so from the start.

But you don't even know why he's leaving though do you?

[Rod_S]

There's probably more people here who'd rather see you stay than leave, Stu. I always thought you were one of the most interesting posters on here and one of the reasons I keep coming back myself. But I know you'll stick to this self imposed ban like you did on RLLMUK, so, see you around, but I'll miss your input here.

I've no idea why he's leaving either. I'm just glad he's going at last. The bloke's a cock.

Gotta love the reviews at least, even if you don't agree with them. Although, hes wrong about Outrun....soooo.....veeery.....wroooong.
