Was Duke Nukem 3D the one that got all the bad media 'cos of the adult bookstores?

Whoever wrote that i am 11 obviously suffers from severe dyslexic conditions and cannot properly read my profile. Poor them.

I've often thought about the perfect AGS music squad, comprising of Geoffkhan, Nikolas, possibly Cameron and eternal_renegade.
Think!
They'd be an unstoppable force of notation!
The humanity!!!

Freckles ahoy!

Okay, so I'm starting to really "get into" using the inter-web for means of music publication, and while i can compose, record etc. fine, there is one slight detail that troubles me.
With most music running on WMP/similar it shows the artist's name above the song playing (like this ).
I've tried looking through the settings/startup wizard on my Composition program (NoteWorthy Composer), but to no avail. On the startup screen it DOES ask you for the composer's name, which i do put in every time, but this does not show up on the finished project anywhere except in the Properties.
Anyone know if there is a program or anything to help destroy this problem?
Cheers,
Fluke.

I think he was referring to this .

[WARHAMMER 40'000: DAWN OF WAR-DARK CRUSADERELEASED ON: PC]

You know that smell.
Nachos. Coke. Flukeblake.
It can only mean one thing.
That's right folks, it's time for Flukeblake's 2nd Annual Game Thread!!
I've nothing particularly funny to say cept for woozle wazzle, so i'll get right to the things that matter. Damn Right MothaF*CKA!
FLUKEBLAKE'S 2007 LIST OF GAMES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARHAMMER 40'000: DAWN OF WAR-DARK CRUSADE
RELEASED ON: PC
Looks like Relic may have cooked up a nice little expansion with Dark Crusade. It'll feature My army, The Fulli 1337 tau!, As well as Necrons, and a host of new characters and units for the current playable armies.


SUPER MARIO GALAXY
RELEASED ON: WII
While not really a "sequel", this IS the obese plumber's 141'st outing. No seriously, look it up.
SMG is looking like a pretty nice little game, and the graphics aren't too hard on the eyes.


GRAND THEFT AUTO IV
RELEASED ON: PS3, XBOX 360
Just think, in just a tick over a year we'll be gunning down "bustaz" on next gen hardware. GTA IV looks like it will take place in Tokyo, possibly meaning the ability to drive in a dragon. Hells Yeah.
GTA IV looks like it'll have a top-notch AI system, and will constantly have The Man on your tail. This looks like one to watch out for.

NO SCREENS AVAILABLE

TEKKEN 6
RELEASED ON: PS3
Give your dog/mother a month's worth of dog food and lock yourself in your bedroom, Tekken 6 will be in town damn soon!
For those of you with a non-bulky exterior and accidentally ate yourÃ,  Ã, 
numchucks, Tekken 6 will provide a solid fighter with most of the characters from the previous games, such as Jin, Devil Jin, Heihachi (will someone PLEASE Kill this guy for good?)
and all the scantily clad females that look more at home on Rumble Roses.
At any length, the ol' Tekken looks like it'll be a good performance in the category of awesome.


HALO 3
RELEASED ON: XBOX 360
Master Chief is back, baby!
The third epic outing of the green machine is looking like one helluva ride, with new weapons, new characters and new maps. Dammned Covenent don't stand a freakin' chance!


THE SOPRANOS
RELEASED ON: PS2, XBOX 360
Coming out very, very, very soon, The Sopranos is looking like one nice game, featuring all the locations of the TV Show, plus some new ones, not to mention characters.
The storyline is standard mafia fare, you go from a low-level crim to toprank crimeboss. It looks brutal, and one to look for very soon.


The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess
RELEASED ON: WII
The last game is coming soon, it's that sword-wieldin' hero Link,
in an awesome new Zelda title, which will feature EVERYTHING you ever wanted to do with Link. He swings, he flies, he shoots his arrow into the cortex of a Sheikah!


Well, that's it for another year. There were a lot of games that looked great in that seven, let's hope they deliver!
Cheers,
Flukeblake.

So i was listening to David Bowie's "Suffragette City" a few days ago (being the sucker for the classics, that i am  ) and i noticed something odd. During the begging-middle-ish of the song the main line is pronounced Suffra-JET City, whereas i can distinctly hear it pronounced Suffra-GET City.
Is this a mistake on Bowie's part or am I simply not hearing it correctly?
Cheers,
Fluke.

Pathetic.
I should fix it up a bit...but i am already in my pajama's(Best. Futurama Quote. Ever!)

Lo.
I was thinking about it, and does anyone else ponder the possibility of an AGS-developed Christopia game?
I'm pretty sure it was mentioned in the Christopia thread way back.
Anyway, i was thinking it could be one of those Massive Contribution games, perhaps we gather our best and brightest in their varied talents (graphics, dialogue, audio etc) and have it as a section on the main page.
I've compiled a list of some possible forumites for this project.

UNOFFICIAL INCOMPLETE LIST FOR CHRISTOPIA GAME
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Music - Nikolas
*BGs - After seeing their awesome CL Tablet entry, Mordalles?

And that's about all i can think of, will edit and nominate some sprite artists, Dialogue, story editors etc.

Please tell me what you think and if you think this idea could work.
Cheers,
Fluke.

Well, i think i'm gonna go with the "Excite"(the cheapest) plan on the second one, mainly because of it's price and also 'cos of the stuff included.
I'm not certain if 100MB is going to be enough, but i'm pretty certain the 8GB bandwitdth is gonna be just fine, seeing as i don't expect a colossal amount of viewers.

Well I did some more lurking and found this
http://www.3ix.org/web_hosting_australia.php
Anything hidden there?
I can't see anything but perhaps i'm missing something.

1)I was actually planning on using it for my W40K fansite, posting pics of my models, guides etc, probably in .gif form. So, even if the 8GB is yearly, i really don't think it'll be a problem.

2)Incoming and outgoing data? What's that mean? I envy your encyclopedic knowledge!

3)I'll send an email today asking about the 8GB Month/Year situation.

Ciao.
Fluke.

So i'm considering buying some hosting, and i stumbled upon this little site.

http://www.jumba.com.au/content/personal/us-plans-pricing.php

Now, i'm considering buying the US-P2 package.
So i'm thinking, that's $30 Australian. To you Americans/Englanders that's about $23 and 12 pounds respectively.

800MB of disk space sounds sweet.
8GB of data transfer sounds sweet.
Unlimited Subdomains sounds sweet.
Free setup sounds sweet.

Now call me a Doubter, but i just know there's some sort of flaw.
Theory 1: It's a scamola.
Theory 2: There's some hidden flaw that my n00bz0rz does not see.
Anyone want to quench my fears?
Cheers,
Fluke.

Apparently Iron Maiden made a video game 7 years ago!
I have no idea how i missed this as i thoroughly enjoy IM (of course it would have been easier had i not been 7 years of age and missed the hype that was i'm sure concocted!) but apparently they did.
Anyone play it? I'm thinking of firin' up the ol' ebay and checking out if i can get a decent price.
Cheers,
Flukey.

Pimp my Sprite was put on hiatus shortly after Season 3, and a European-style show, Pimp My Sprite UK aired the following month.

Unless you have been living under a rock for a while (come on, it's not THAT bad!), you'll no doubt've heard that E3 has been "reconstructed".
Invitation Only.
Now, this does not affect me Personally, apart from the fact that i loved watching the E3 vids people put up on YouTube, and the fact that i had planned to go to E3 when i finished High School in 4 years. However, i'd bet a year's worth of WoW subscription that it's gonna have an impact on the more less mainstream.
For example, if this had happened a few years ago, i very much doubt games like Alien Hominid would've gotten as popular as they are.
Anyone want to comment?
Cheers,
Fluke.
PS: I looked for an E3 thread, but i may have just missed it. If this is the case, feel free to delete or lock or whatever mods.
