"Bee's knees".

I'm not being sarcastic or snotty so don't read it that way, por favor...

For a post that isn't sarcastic, it's surprisingly full of sarcasm.

I care because it's a good program and people shouldn't be discouraged from trying to learn just because some people can't get the interface. Most people who start off with Blender have no problem after the initial hurdles of understanding 3d space, it's people who start with the costly progs who find it intolerable.

The more people in the Blender community the better. It would be nothing without the community, just like AGS.

Why do you keep saying that word? I do not think it means what you think it means.

if you think the "Hooray!" parts are me being sarcastic then you're wrong... or the comments on shut it all down... I was making jokes [and trying to make a veiled reference to Ghost Busters]. Keeping it light. I said bee's knees for floopsake!

but whatever... It's like you see sarcasm in everyone's posts but do you see the personal jabs you took at pesty? bet you don't.

Look Shbaz, I'm sorry if I've offended you by posting my dislike for Blender in this thread. Nothing personal, of course.

As for you Yufster, you might be interested in this tutorial link:

Huntfor.com turned up quite a few good links, also:

Hope that helps!

Well Eric, I was pretty sure of myself, but I looked it up anyway. My dictionary defines it as, "Witty language used to convey insults or scorn." Some additional definitions reveal, "A form of wit that is marked by the use of sarcastic language and is intended to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule."

As I read this:

QuoteI'm sorry, I shouldn't be forcing this on but I just have to ask... So... Freakin'... What?

Is Geoffkahn's [cause Pete said NOTHING bad about Blender] opinion something that thousands of people listen to? Is there a huge community of people who use Blender now totally sad because Geoffkahn doesn't like the interface and chooses not to use the program? Are the creators giving up? "That's it, some guy somewhere said he hated it... Shut this down... Shut this all down..."

My sarcasm meter is going nuts. You can't just fill a post with it, and then say, "This isn't sarcasm." That's like saying, "Here, let me ridicule you, but remember that I'm not ridiculing you."

I don't see the personal jabs at Pesty, but then again, I understood everything I wrote with the clarity that someone outside of my head never could. One obvious one would probably be:

QuoteTypical misinformation and sarcasm.

Which was intended to be read chronologically with the posts, "misinformation" being directed at the "crappy interface" remark, and "sarcasm" being directed at the second quote I made, which as you even stated, is sometimes erronous anyways.

One thing I forgot when I PM'd Pesty about the afforementioned quote was "I'm sorry," which I am, because I didn't intend to make fun of anyone, but rather that Blender isn't a useless app that get's beaten up on the 3d playground all of the time.

and Geoffkan, no hard feelings. It'd be hard to get me to carry a grudge on the internet.

Blender sucks.

I don't know if Blender sucks, but she does a pretty neat trick with ping-pong balls.

I used to think that piracy was like stealing, literally. I used to praise to my friends how it was comparable to stealing a car. But then I realised that it was comparable to CLONING a car.

I think the sort of piracy where people download thousand games from the net and never even play them is quite funny. My fried's got hundreds of CD's fdull of games he has never played...

DGMacphee · Thu 13/05/2004 15:48:35

Wait till I tell Robert Holleyman, Jack Valenti, and Cary Sherman about this thread! They are so going to wet their pants!

LOL!

how the hell do you know those names! Please god tell me you looked that up...and why do I recognize those names.... $:-\$

EDIT: Wait...I'm stupid, nevermind...

I thought those were that names of the carpenter and stunt man before the movie advert/anti-piracy thingy...

Wait a minute...this is funny: http://www.datelinehollywood.com/showarticle.php?articleID=110

Movies. They're Not Worth It!

I didn't know that happened. It's funny though, of all of the piracy out there I oppose movie piracy more than music or software piracy. Music makes a close second to what I oppose. I can't say I oppose software piracy though. $50 for a piece of software is enough. People talk about effort put into software...what about game companies that develop realistic physics engines, lighting, AI, etc., that MUST take just as much if not more effort than developing Photoshop!!?? Right? Yet hundreds of dollars seperate the two products. Hmm...

Software. It's Not Worth It!

Holy edited post Batman!

Jack Valenti's I knew. The other two I had to look up.
