Posted by Data in Cortex Command - October 11th, 2007

Missile base complex Some generous people have posted that they would be willing to donate to Data Realms to help us keep developing games… well, that’s great (just buy multiple copies of the game instead!), but this is what we really need:

Underground in rural Washington:

Three – 160′ Tall Missile Silos
Three – 4 story Equipment Terminal Buildings
Three – Fuel Terminal Buildings
Two – 6 story Antenna Silos
One Air Intake/Filtration Building
One 100′ diameter Control Dome Building
One 125′ diameter Power Dome Building
One – 6 story Entry Portal Building
and a few other misc buildings and areas.

All that, available for the very reasonable price of $1.5M USD! Here’s the details. And here.

In other news, we’re hard at work on the updated submission for IGF which the judges hopefully will wait to see before they score. Once that is delivered, it won’t be long until the first commercial version of the game will be released. We plan to make it available at a discount from the final full price, since it will still not yet contain many of the campaign missions. However, if you buy the early discounted version, you’ll also get all future versions up to when the first full campaign is completed and released.

Also, you may have noticed that we’re moving servers.. we hit a snag with that and are still on the old box – but not for long. The new machine will be online in time for the first commercial release and should help ensure fast downloads.

And with this, Data’s true plans are revealed: To have the most epic CC base IRL.
TheLastBanana - # October 11th, 2007 at 8:11 pm
I think Apocalypse Towers would be more appropriate.
But we’d uh… Place you higher up.
No need to worry about the building breaking or anything, the buildings seem to be able to float.
Or we could just place you in the triple-steel barred brain room, whatever suits you best.
eternjc - # October 11th, 2007 at 8:21 pm
Ah, but does it have an fully equiped heli-pad? Post-apocaliptic video game room? Indoor pool? Data, I think you can do better!
Grif - # October 11th, 2007 at 8:23 pm
Eternjc:
IT IS A FUCKING MISSILE BASE.

Can be equipped with helipad easily. Hell, you could land a helicopter on the doors of the silo!

In other news, NEW BUILD.

One – 6 story Entry Portal Building
Very…. Ominous.

I can’t sprite…at all

I am of no use to myself. *sigh*
Kyonai - # October 11th, 2007 at 8:31 pm
Data, please don’t kill me for asking, I only ask what I ask once, will there be one final build release before CC goes commercial?
Alex - # October 11th, 2007 at 8:38 pm
How much can we expect the Discounted commercial build to be?
tobbs40 - # October 11th, 2007 at 8:43 pm
no this wont be the final build he said earlier that when he updates it we will get the for free to so he will keep working and working and working and working till it is perfect.
tobbs40 - # October 11th, 2007 at 8:48 pm
we will get the updates for free sorry for the bad grammar
PolynesianVermin - # October 11th, 2007 at 9:28 pm
$1.5M? Doesn’t sound TOO costly. Can’t wait until the commercial build is released. It is going to be the first game I ever bought for myself with my own hard-earned money.
What - # October 11th, 2007 at 9:41 pm
Build a rocket in case portal storms start opening up.
KamikazeDuck - # October 12th, 2007 at 12:21 am
I’m buying for sure.

Great work getting to this stage, it’s all coming together!

Will you continue working on the game, updating it with patches/versions after the it is complete?
Kallemort - # October 12th, 2007 at 1:45 am
yay! New build! Hope Data wins the first prize in IGF, he earned it.
About the missile silo, looks cool. Just the place to hide when the zombies take over the earth. Oh, and make the server move quickly , I can’t survive without new mods!
21GP - # October 12th, 2007 at 1:49 am
Washington State represent!
AquaGeneral - # October 12th, 2007 at 4:49 am
I with Kallemort, talking about zombies will CC have any?

Hope you win Data
Kurrus - # October 12th, 2007 at 5:13 am
Wait what. Discount for the next build up to the first commercial version and then we gotta pay again for it?

Please clarify this, I don’t want to waste 50 euros again for The Orange Box and get ripped off again because this is a scam at the end.
KarvaBopi - # October 12th, 2007 at 5:46 am
So, if i buy one version of CC, i get the newer versions of it when they come out ?

And Data, please say one way to pay without cards, account numbers or something like that.
Kallemort - # October 12th, 2007 at 6:55 am
@aquageneral, Every game needs zombies, and the more the merrier!
@Karvabopi, yes, when you buy the discount version you get the later versions for free, so better off buying the discount one.
coilgunner - # October 12th, 2007 at 7:35 am
sounds cool! I wish I had 1.5M but I don’t…sorry
AGENT15 - # October 12th, 2007 at 7:43 am
I’ll take eight!
Lord Tim - # October 12th, 2007 at 8:17 am
Heh. This thing was being sold about 4 years ago. No one bought it, despite the bidding starting at around 500,000 I believe. The person stopped the bidding because everyone was making fake bids.
ChJees - # October 12th, 2007 at 8:22 am
Nice! I am really hyped for Cortex Command now .
tison345 - # October 12th, 2007 at 8:35 am
I want that! It’s so cheap! (relatively). It costs about the same as a very nice apartment!
brinlarden - # October 12th, 2007 at 9:05 am
haha i saw that on gizmodo looks cool, maybe you should buy it with all the money you make from cc

can wait for the cc commercial version, gonna be awesome!
robowurmz - # October 12th, 2007 at 9:32 am
Oh yay! A Missile Base! Let’s play NUKE WARS!
HmmDeBlah - # October 12th, 2007 at 9:34 am
*Checks bank account*

For $1.5 million you could get a reasonably pathetic detached house in the UK. Housing prices here are ridiculous, I think I’m selling up and living in a missile silo, they wouldn’t charge me f**king hideous poll tax either.
Delgado - # October 12th, 2007 at 11:06 am
Data I have a question. What is esactly the campainge going to be like? strategy, or maybe 2 sides fighting eachother. missions?
Jox - # October 12th, 2007 at 11:47 am
Aaaaww man, you must be kindding… we’ll need to buy the next version of the game???

. . . - # October 12th, 2007 at 2:44 pm
Data you deserve to win IGF and you most likely will (unless it is rigged, then we might have a problem)

Cant wait until full version of the game comes out, ITS GOING TO BE SICK!!!!!!!!
Grif - # October 12th, 2007 at 2:46 pm
@Whef:
“This game has gotten way to big, I can see it now, getting fucked up by the second. Another game ruined, first Halo, now this?”

Holy SHIT dude.

This game has maybe 250 actual active members in it’s community.

VERSUS HALO’S SEVERAL FUCKING MILLION.

Also, hurr, big community means game = shit?

Lolwut?
theannoyed1 - # October 12th, 2007 at 2:51 pm
there are actually missle silos sitting around under peoples houses in countries with over averagely corrupt governments.
Iraq is one(not that u can find them).
Russia is one.
The US is one.

Why you gonna build this thing?
Just take advantage of the stupidity of the american military during and after the cold war

Go join the infantry GRIF
Go to iraq, safer than being in LA or any other large city

brinlarden - # October 12th, 2007 at 6:27 pm
for fucks sake, stop hyping it youll make it bad, just chill and tell your self its shit. that way when you get it youll be like OMFG THIS LIKE TOTALLY OWNS ALL!!!11!!!1 and im sure it will DATA…..would you kindly make it own DATA
you heard.
Peewee - # October 12th, 2007 at 6:29 pm
Come on…
You said soon, Data.
How soon is soon?
ten seconds from now rendering this post pointless?
an hour?
tomorrow?
a week?
a month?
a year?
a decade?
a century?
A date is much better than “soon”…
Vash - # October 12th, 2007 at 6:30 pm
lol i wanna live in a missle silo,that would be the coolest shit ever,too bad you dont get a free cruise missle,that would be epic right there.

In other news…..I think im gonna rig the IGF thingy so CC wins,and leave no traces .
tobbs40 - # October 12th, 2007 at 6:54 pm
date please people are getting restless! many people will stop bugging you if you ell use a release date! ^^
Tendrop - # October 12th, 2007 at 7:09 pm
Ygh. The forums are down, and it says “a day or so”. It said that a week ago.
TheLastBanana - # October 12th, 2007 at 7:36 pm
No, it didn’t, it popped up yesterday.
We need to change servers so the forum is useable, so it’s down.
Prefer being incapable of posting or viewing topics?
Oh, wait, same thing.
As for dates, the next version will be out when he’s not too busy working with IGF.
Last, the deal with paying is that if you buy the next version, it will be at a discount, and not have all the features, but you will get any versions after that until the final build for FREE.
tobbs40 - # October 12th, 2007 at 7:37 pm
i know, i was like (a week ago) yes tomorrow itll be out! woo (funky dance) WOO! but it didn’t! data if you wouldn’t mind, please make a official non-move date! PLEASE!
AGENT15 - # October 12th, 2007 at 8:06 pm
He cant. He could just make a guess, but that’s probably the best it gets. Really, I think all we need is a date in the “how many weeks” range.
tison345 - # October 12th, 2007 at 8:17 pm

@ 55, or Tison345, if I feel like spelling your name out:

Half of this shit is spam. This is just more evident proof that this community is full of idiots.

yep and we are good at being idiots. besides, its the idiots that run the world.
AGENT15 - # October 12th, 2007 at 11:48 pm
I was banned from the forums for saying just that: There are lots of idiots in this community. By Thor, of course.

Anyway… I will definitely be buying multiple copies of CC, what with there not being a donate button. Is there an estimated price yet?
1-5?
6-10?
10-20?
20-40?

brinlarden - # October 13th, 2007 at 2:51 am
hmmm i was just thinking, i think this website needs like a media section. in that i mean a place to put lots of screen shots, gifs, movies and wallpapers(not that you have the time i guess)
theannoyed1 - # October 13th, 2007 at 7:10 am
hey vash, cruise missles cost at least 200 thou extra, and are kinda hard to get. But possible. And with the current economy, im not talking buying from the russians(they ran out)

BinLarden, thats true. Once you put a price on it, people are not gonna pay for it outright, because of your 4 movies on the front page

Eric, FUCK YOU, if you dont like it stfu and leave!
theannoyed1 - # October 13th, 2007 at 7:17 am
There Grif goes, being a fucking ass
hes obsessed with the fucking game, and still insuting it
obviously, this game wont go as big as halo
But that dosent mean only 25 people will buy it.
I know 5 people who play and would probably buy the game.
Thats in one small(ish) city.
But guess what! theres 1000000 other people i dont know
Once this game gets better the numbers will grow

Aim lower
NOTHING IS AS GOOD AS HALO
tobbs40 - # October 13th, 2007 at 8:58 am
theannoyed1, i agree whole heartily, i will 12 of my friends will and many more that i don’t know in my town will. there are a good couple thousand in my county tons of people will buy and this ins in the us alone^^
Hiro - # October 13th, 2007 at 10:02 am
I hope the price is between $15-$30
And I hope data releases a mac version side by side with the windows version D:

Otherwise I might cry. That’s right, tears will fly out of my eyes.
robolee - # October 13th, 2007 at 10:14 am
“NOTHING IS AS GOOD AS HALO” errrm, yes THIS IS BETTER but that’s an opinion.
tison345 - # October 13th, 2007 at 10:19 am
No mac version, I believe he said that once… And Half-Life 2 is better than Halo…

Eric, before your post (31), there were no more than 5 posts that could be considered spam considering the devlog entry.
Hiro - # October 13th, 2007 at 10:51 am
No, he told me in the forums that he was planning on a mac version.

I hope he sticks to that promise, because people with macs just LOVE awesome indie games . Plus it can’t be that hard to port as it’s mostly text and images (just a code-illiterate guess there), and it’d get him at least another $300 in a worst case scenario.

Plus, if you post it on macgamefiles.com, that’s going to get you a ton of buyers and lots of popularity.
Grif - # October 13th, 2007 at 10:54 am
@The Annoyed #62:
Lolwut?
When did I say only 25 people would buy it?
When did I say Halo was better than it?
Also, unless you’ve met 6,499,900,000 people in your lifetime, there are more than 100,000 people on the earth you don’t know.

I said that the ACTIVE COMMUNITY had no more than 250 members.
As in, the people who regularly post on the forums.
Please to be trying to read my post before attempting to troll me in future.

@Tison:
Mac version will come once the game gets close to being complete. Which may mean with the first commercial build.

@Robolee:
Agree muchly, this game is far better than Halo, and if TheAnnoyed had bothered to read my statement he would’ve realized that I never said Halo was better than this.

Also, you’re all being far too optimistic.
This is a tiny indie game with a pathetic marketshare.
Sure, it’s an absolutely fucking awesome indie game, but being awesome does not mean that people will spontaneously stumble upon this site, with 30 dollars clutched loosely in their hands.

Just to prove the point, not saying it will cost 30 dollars.
Grif - # October 13th, 2007 at 11:26 am
Sorry, missed a zero on “TheAnnoyed”’s comment.

Should be “unless you’ve met 6,499,000,000 people in your lifetime, there are more than 1,000,000 people on the earth you don’t know”

back to the point, seriously data by not releasing any info you all have us completely hyped up. its not fair
Tuplanolla - # October 14th, 2007 at 5:30 am

sylverone (aka cliftut) - # October 14th, 2007 at 6:17 pm
“many people will stop bugging you if you ell use a release date! ^^” ~TOBBS40

And then, when the estimate is off, and the game doesn’t release THE EXACT SECOND he said it would, he would get mobbed by the part of the 1,000,000 people waiting for the game that don’t understand the meaning of “tentative release date”. Since he hasn’t put up a release date, it probably means he has no idea how long the game is going to take (remember that even though the engine is there, there is NO story in the game yet, save for the opening intro, although he might have something in for the IGF version). He really doesn’t have any way of knowing, because as you add things into a game, it makes other unforeseen things necessary to make the new stuff work. I imagine that some additions and tweaking of the engine will be necessary to allow storyline and missions and such. I think he doesn’t give even an estimate of how long it will take because he’d rather have the devlog filled with people telling him to finish the game instead of spa*, hate messages, and threats from people who can’t handle him missing the estimated date. I will give you an estimate that probably isn’t much different from what he could give you; CC will likely come out within a year, almost definitely withing two years, and definitely within five years.

“just dont insult anything grif
wouldnt that solve a lot of problems
Oh i know its not the american way, but, do it anyway
just DON’T SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE” ~THEANNOYED1

You’ve got the wrong look on it; it’s not that it isn’t the American way; it’s that it isn’t the way of many individuals living in America. I’m an American, but I do my best to keep from insulting anyone on the forums or anywhere else. It’s my personal choice, not rest of America’s. I’m not offended, but I wanted to point this out because what you said could very well be taken as an insult (thus as “SOMETHING NEGATIVE”) by someone else.

As long as the questions are about CC (even if they might be a bit annoying to some), they aren’t really spa*. In fact, someone who comes in and looks at the devlog to find 100+ posts eagerly asking about features and how the game is going might actually be inspired to look around a bit more and learn about the game (= +1 CC fan that might buy the final release). However, if they find 40+ posts that contain swearing, pointless gibberish (which is kept out of here fairly well in my opinion), and people arguing amongst themselves, they might miss the posts praising the game and decide to leave.

With all of the posts about asking about the final release, maybe Data will release a FAQ eventually, answering some of the common ones. Otherwise, we’ll get to find out mostly on our own (and from previews which will prossibly be given along the way). I don’t consider that a bad thing.

As far as everyone giving Data advice, I prefer to think that he is rather intelligent and has thought things through. Assuming this is the case, then asking that the game be made free is pointless. Regardless, there is no denying that he deserves to make money off of it because of the amount of money he has undoubtedly sacrificed to get this far. Mow much money are his six+ years of work worth? Assuming that overall he worked an average of 2 hours a day for six years, his work would amount to about 25,400 US dollars at a minimum wage of $5.85 (and that is assuming no profit over the hours he worked). So even if he only worked an average of half an hour or less per day, it adds up to thousands of dollars, plus the fact that he’s quit two jobs along the course of the development, partially so he could focus on the game. Besides, folks, you realize that part of the funds that he gets will probably be put into the next game he makes, or whatever other project he might begin right? If anyone wants the game enough to beg for it to be made free, they probably want it bad enough to be willing to pay the money when it comes out and isn’t. Anyway, assuming 1,016 games are purchased for $25.00 each, data will have the $25,400 I mentioned earlier. Hopefully at least that many people will (I’m pretty sure he’ll get many more sales than that). I’m happy for him. (To avoid confusion, that wasn’t sarcasm. XP) And hey, look! I actually just used the math I learned in ninth grade!

Alright, I’ll stop now. Have a good day everyone (and especially you, Data, now that you have an idea of how much you might hopefully get off of this ).

Hehe. Sorry ’bout that…

How to make people happy about release date in three easy steps:

1. Estimate very roughly the the time it would take to finish the product.

2. Add 20+ days to this time.

3. Announce this as release date.

Everyone has a date to look forward to, and they will be even more happy if it gets released before then. Yay, we all win.
robolee - # October 14th, 2007 at 8:17 pm
it’s not that simple Hiro, not that simple…

when your programming in your SPARE time a bug can take weeks to fix a whole new AI… think about it

damn:
when your programming in your SPARE time a bug can take weeks to fix.

a whole new AI… think about it

Robolee, Data doesn’t have a job.

He’s got lots of spare time, not that I’m saying that debugging’s easy.
Carp - # October 14th, 2007 at 11:28 pm
Pie2.1, if you really like the pretty yellow and black stripes that much, you can set it as your desktop. I like them, but as a /border/. Do the internets a favor, and don’t pagestretch.

Data: I know you shouldn’t have to, but could you(or some team member) keep a closer watch on the devlog? It’s on the brink of getting ugly.
McFuggly - # October 15th, 2007 at 1:56 am
Data, stop spamming out the Devlog.
Numgun - # October 15th, 2007 at 8:02 am
Prom & Data, what ARE your regular jobs btw?
robolee - # October 15th, 2007 at 11:07 am
“Robolee, Data doesn’t have a job.

He’s got lots of spare time, not that I’m saying that debugging’s easy. ”

HE HAS A WIFE women demand certain things THAT TAKE UP YOUR SPARE TIME, also how do you know he doesn’t have a job, he’d be like homeless by now.

@McFuggly
also we demanded updates, he gave one it may not be CC related but it’s HIS devlog therefore NOT spam.

DON’T BE SO UNGRATEFUL
brinlarden - # October 15th, 2007 at 11:44 am
@robolee wow another person that uses like as a connective.

anyway i seriously think there should be more updates, like daily or once every 2 days talking about what they have achieved and ideas for what they might next implement. because then we can follow more closely as a community. sort of like a blog but not all the “wow i just had a turd and it was like 3 inches long” kinda crap.
robolee - # October 15th, 2007 at 12:43 pm
actually I don’t use it as a connective I use it as a replacement for “this is exaggerated:”
Hiro - # October 15th, 2007 at 1:33 pm
@ Robolee

I know there are complications
that’s why I said 20+ (Note the +)
brinlarden - # October 15th, 2007 at 2:08 pm
@robolee: you die now
..
.
erm yeh cant wait for next build….
robolee - # October 15th, 2007 at 4:04 pm
well, hiro, essentially 20+ could mean up to infinite, so I would say that you meant a maximum of 25-30, but what ever.

also brinlarden I don’t see how I offended you? (unless someone posted as me???)
Josh - # October 15th, 2007 at 6:56 pm
What’s up with the forums?
tobbs40 - # October 15th, 2007 at 9:06 pm
I CANT WAIT!!!!!
AGENT15 - # October 15th, 2007 at 10:50 pm
That was serious devlog spam.

Also, where is Data? I haven’t seen him post in the forums or here in a while… Work? Busy? Plot thickening?
AquaGeneral - # October 15th, 2007 at 11:54 pm
This is what I hate happening, the forums become dead causing everyone to flood the Devlog with spam.

I thought the same as you Agent15, Data has not commented for nearly a week.
theannoyed1 - # October 16th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
Everyone is complaining about it not being released, the forums being down, and data not posting. But the time he dedicates to the DR project he spends on making the game.
He might wanna finish it soonish, because he’s looking at a few thousand dollars immediatly
tobbs40 - # October 16th, 2007 at 8:03 pm
hey, how about this. if someone kinda insults you think (in your head) “they are just morons”and just don’t retaliate. there would be a lot less spam, and people wont get mad. its a win win situation. it would also hopefully reduce spam a bunch, or not you know the worlds not perfect. plus people won’t be pissed off and one last thing, people who see a less spammed blog will be like “hey this seems like a good game, and theres not much spam, too”.
tobbs40 - # October 16th, 2007 at 8:04 pm
and don’t hurt me, please I’m just some one offering suggestions
Vash - # October 16th, 2007 at 8:09 pm
that is a good suggestion…i like it.

on topic,Data are we going to get WORKING WATER? because that would be awsome,or maybe suffocation without air would be good too.
AGENT15 - # October 16th, 2007 at 10:44 pm
Water would be very hard to do. If you made it pixels: hard to code and major lag. Not really any other way except having “areas” of water, which if you went in for too long you died. But that wouldn’t really be water, since it wouldn’t drain.

STOP ASKING FOR WATER! It has been discussed many times.
tison345 - # October 17th, 2007 at 1:25 pm
let it use the GPU and physics card (if that would be possible?) and working pixel water would be fine…
tobbs40 - # October 17th, 2007 at 5:40 pm
if we wanna donate than can we buy in a bundle? and can you PLEASE give us an estimate on when the game will come out or @ least where you are at?
tobbs40 - # October 17th, 2007 at 5:42 pm
but don’t worry. we still love you data. Maybe.
AGENT15 - # October 17th, 2007 at 10:47 pm
I’m going insane without an update! Data hasn’t posted in a week or so. Lack of news… killing… me… urg…
SP2 - # October 18th, 2007 at 8:46 am
Data is busy still with the IGF version, or so i’ve heard.

no, wait!

*gets back up*

whew, now I can keep checking. Data, enlighten our souls as to the state of the game!
Mindbug - # October 19th, 2007 at 10:03 am
It’s easy to see why data isn’t posting! Orange box!
tison345 - # October 19th, 2007 at 11:48 am
No new posts in the DevLog or by Data in two days… I’m worried.

is data gonna make us pay to play it cause it sounds like it
Trakov - # October 20th, 2007 at 5:28 am
Only $ 1.5 m !
That’s about £750,000.
A small flat in London costs more than that.
Do want.
AGENT15 - # October 20th, 2007 at 7:59 am
Yes. That’s why the new build is the commercial version.

Start listening, you might learn something.

If anyone is seriously thinking about buying multiple copies, i would gladly accept one, seen as I cannot buy a retail version, no matter how much I want one.
AGENT15 - # October 21st, 2007 at 11:51 am
email me at brendan@blacksunpro.com

Make sure you have a good excuse, I don’t want to be handing our copies to lazy people.
If I believe you, I’ll send you the key or whatever.
Hiro - # October 21st, 2007 at 12:41 pm
Data, since you don’t know the release date yet, can you give us a price estimation with and without discount?
We’d all appreciate it.
TFSR - # October 21st, 2007 at 8:14 pm
I heard around $30 is the estimate… I’d pay it gladly.
Since CVS and all of those other drugstores now have those preloadable debit-card thingies, I can buy stuff on internets.
whitty - # October 21st, 2007 at 8:48 pm
lol $30? $15 at the most for the 1st commercial build. final will be more though, unless you bought the 1st commercial build.
Jonathan - # October 21st, 2007 at 9:20 pm
This would make a great multiplayer online game
AGENT15 - # October 22nd, 2007 at 8:09 pm
I’d say that anywhere from 10-20 dollars is about right for the first build. Really, I would pay up to 35, since I love Cortex Command, it has great mods, and I know it will be updated. However, I wouldn’t buy multiple copies. I am buying a copy for some other guy who can’t buy a copy, so I would hope the price isn’t too high.
Jonathan - # October 23rd, 2007 at 9:31 am
yah 10-20 dollors sounds resonable and also the charecters are a bit heavy say if im a robot and i have one of theose long cannon guns all my booster fuel goes away just trying 2 lift off the ground also.If u tap the booster button for a rocket or a comando dude u will fly super fast.But for the robots this doesnt work.
theannoyed1 - # October 23rd, 2007 at 4:46 pm
@grif
most people who will buy cc live in north america

to the rest of you, why are you so patriotic?
you know your country is screwed up
AGENT15 - # October 23rd, 2007 at 5:16 pm
My country is fine the way it is. I love my country a lot, if you can fuck yourself if you don’t like it.

Give me one reason why my country is bad.
eternjc - # October 23rd, 2007 at 5:21 pm

What country isn’t screwed up? As long as people are involved, nothing quite works right. At any rate, “patriotism” isn’t one of my traits. Live abroad for a few years and suddenly people become more important than location.

tobbs40 - # October 23rd, 2007 at 6:12 pm
Hey! Stick to the topic. this is about cc grif. Not about what country is better. So to stay on topic, and this ‘?’has been asked before, when will cc grif be out? please data tell use where you are @ least! pwity pwese?
AGENT15 - # October 23rd, 2007 at 7:48 pm
Data has been rumored to be working on the new build a bunch, just not been active on the forum and whatever. He is probably having a life. Or vacation, but he would probably tell someone of the latter.
I’m sure he’s busy with his own shit.

On the other hand, I FUCKING NEED THE NEW VERSION ARGRGRH
Data - # October 24th, 2007 at 12:59 am
Agent15 got it right. Been working very hard on the igf and commercial versions, but also took a few days off last week.

All I can say is that the next version you play will be like a whole new experience from before. And it will be affordable, and anyone shuold be able to buy a copy with at least one of the payment methods we will support.
Kallemort - # October 24th, 2007 at 4:30 am
Whole new experience?
*Drool*
Need new cc now…
k00pa - # October 24th, 2007 at 5:04 am

robolee - # October 24th, 2007 at 5:10 am
YAY DATA!!!
does this mean update very soon?
I also noticed you had the time to report some independent gaming news to tigsource

I suppose you do have the right to have a break but its a bit close eh?
AGENT15 - # October 24th, 2007 at 7:46 am
Well, seeing as Data is modest, if Data says it’s gonna be good. Now that I have official confirmation about what the shit going on is, I can relax and wait for the new build.

*twitch*

CORTEX COMMAND RINGTONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(epic moneymaker)
AGENT15 - # October 25th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
That would be hard to do, since Cortex Command isn’t really a band or anything.
theannoyed1 - # October 25th, 2007 at 4:52 pm
how so?
its very easy to get stuff made

then ya mail it off
its done a lot…
zalo - # October 25th, 2007 at 5:06 pm
What if it was possible for a bunker
maker to define where the clones could take up defense?

So when your normal defense clones
died, you could just poop out new ones,
and would take the dead one’s place.
Delgado - # October 25th, 2007 at 5:36 pm
Yeah guess what me and my friend made, cortex T-shirts. dark blue, and we printed “cortex Command” logo onto special paper then iorned it onto the shirts. walla CC shirts

And then on the back we put http://www.datarealms.com

So, when the full version or new build of CC will be? It’s so long time to wait!

HL2 had like 100+ people working on it… and it still took about 4 years…
Alty - # October 26th, 2007 at 7:34 am
Data, are you going to change the TDExplosive system? Right now its kinda limited if we’d look at the current stuff how we can control the particles that get out of the TDExplosive when we use the timer variant.

I’ll send a PM later explaining how you could make it more universal so we could use the timer and have more control over on almost anything we’ll ever imagine!
AGENT15 - # October 26th, 2007 at 7:46 am
Damnit. I just had another dream about the new cortex command build being released. So… beautiful…

Heheh.
AGENT15 - # October 26th, 2007 at 6:27 pm
Oh my god, I need the new build. I’m checking the site every five minutes… I can not look for an hour if I am playing a good game, but it’s still hard not to look!

The new build: So close yet so far.
Grif - # October 27th, 2007 at 12:10 am
@128/Tison

A GPU would contribute little to the game. Hardware acceleration doesn’t do much for 2d games. You’d get, with a good GFX card, and perfect hardware acceleraation, maybe .5 ghz more Cpu.
Kurrus - # October 27th, 2007 at 6:47 am
Everyone hyped for the new build play Toribash 3.0 wich just came out.
yay - # October 27th, 2007 at 11:41 am
CC will be epic and already is epic, my friends come over and we play CC with gamepads on a plasma, its tons of fun, cant wait for the commercial vers for even more fun
AGENT15 - # October 27th, 2007 at 11:46 am
That’s what I’ve been doing, but I suck at it. Fortunately, I have Mount and Blade, a bunch of good Steam games, and some other stuff to keep my mind off of it. Still hard..
TFSR - # October 27th, 2007 at 1:17 pm
TB 3.0 has been distracting me, but since it’s kinda brahken, it’s not working. I can’t wait for the buy button to appear; I can’t wait to hand over my money.

AGENT15 - # October 28th, 2007 at 7:59 pm
1 core isnt bad. If your computer cant handle CS:S, try turning graphics down. it sounds like a software problem, not hardware.

Or your graphics card might not be too good.
Treelor - # October 28th, 2007 at 11:00 pm
“I wIlL ExPloDe!…”
Every time someone types like that I die on the inside.

On a lighter (or darker) note, I’m excited for all of you that get to play the new build when it’s out. I lack a paypal or a credit card, myself, and my parents are like “wtf internets steels monies rite??” so they wouldn’t buy it for me.

Someone tell me what it’s like D:
AGENT15 - # October 28th, 2007 at 11:22 pm
I would buy it for you, but I am already buying it for some other guy.
Dpmn - # October 29th, 2007 at 2:06 am
You cant say it sounds like like a graphics problem, it could be any number of reasons – as far as I remember CS:S only requires 1000mhz processor. Graphics-wise it only needs something equally low [my friend was running it fine on a radeon 9400 [or something low end on that series]] Ram is also the other obvious issue basically you just cant say for sure w/ the amount of info he gave us… That was longer than I meant it to be .
Kallemort - # October 29th, 2007 at 7:31 am
@treelor: My parents are the same, althought I hope there will be a way to buy the game without credit cards or paypal.

TrouserDemon - # October 29th, 2007 at 5:55 pm
Post your guard bot on the SRC forums whitty, and give a link here.

We need an estimate release! Something basic so people will shut up.
Data - # October 30th, 2007 at 1:58 am

Ok, one quick suggestion that would prevent a _lot_ of frustrated screams and broken keyboards:
When you play the game and use Esc to get to the menu, Please let another Esc activate the [back to Game] button and not [quit]! Shouldn’t be too hard (I figure), but would Really help.

Thanks.
robolee - # October 31st, 2007 at 7:40 am
well jeca, that’s never happened to me and its a bit late to ask for that (seeing as how he said its finished “the IGF update is finally done!”)

I suppose they’re adding final finishing touches. or waiting for the server move before posting it.

Well yea, I saw that, but felt it could be good to mentioned while I remembered. And AGENT15, in future builds you’ll be able to prompt reloading of all .ini files (maybe even specific ones) so then you won’t have to exit the game at all. But yea, I get your point.

SP2 - # November 1st, 2007 at 2:13 pm
Demanding won’t get you anywhere, unless you have a gun, but then again that is different… So maybe if your a bit more patient then Data might just release it. If I was the one developing Cortex Command, and had loads of people demanding me to release it for a certain date, i’d wait and release a couple of weeks after. Be grateful that Data even decided to make Cortex Command.
brinlarden - # November 1st, 2007 at 2:18 pm
why the fuck would you do that, sure it’d hype it, but everyone would hate you.
i can wait for the build,but i want an update on the devlog with some info.
pics and feats.
SP2 - # November 1st, 2007 at 2:23 pm
Yeah, but they don’t know when you plan to release it. Do you hate Data since he hasn’t finished it yet?
There you go, he might have finished it, and might be waiting for a certain date to release, but none of us know that, so we just wait.
brinlarden - # November 1st, 2007 at 2:28 pm
no course i dont hate data and thats not the point i was getting at, I DONT CARE WHEN ITS RELEASED I JUST WANT AN UPDATE. what your saying is that because everyone is saying ‘please give it to us’ youd be like ‘no piss off, muwhahaha’.
ok it all makes sense now. youre evil.
aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

SP2 - # November 1st, 2007 at 2:36 pm
No, I’m not saying that, if someone comes to you in the street and randomly demands something of you, you’d be like no. But lets say they asked politely, then that maybe different.
Same thing applies here.

anyway, it had filing cabinets that werent on a team but still gibbed when you shot them and you couldnt pick them up

that would be the furiniture

Meh, I think that more of a summary of what we should be asking for is simply a dev post showing off the new version, or telling us when it will be shown.

Needs Less “omgfgs whars be gaem warnt baiii!!11″ posts

If not, meh, data will release it when he wants to, and he shouldn’t do so any sooner.

And also, that tower map was cool. A remake would be neat; there hasn’t been anything like it since, so far as I know. Cityfight would be awesome in Cortex Command.

I noticed people around the fifties or something saying that swearing is for 10 yo’s and 11’s. I’m 12 and i never say… f***. Unless I’m really, REALLY pissed off.

Message for Data: I want to make sure that you’re actually looking on the Devlog, so please answer my suggestion:
If you want this game to be really safe, try getting it on steam. I have never seen a steam game (exept demos and some mods) being downloadable for free on any site. I’m pretty sure it’s really safe.

There’s also an indie game that was made by a normal group of people, not a company, called Ragdoll Kung-Fu. This game was posted on steam, so maybe you should follow that exaple.

Also, I’m not lying when I said I was 12
Hiro - # November 3rd, 2007 at 7:18 pm
Shut the hell up you babies.

It’s a damn 2D computer game, and you’re acting like a bunch of rabid animals over it.

SHUT THE HELL UP AND NEVER POST AGAIN.
Hiro - # November 3rd, 2007 at 7:21 pm
Also, to Afroded, who can actually behave like a member of the human race, steam isn’t such a great idea. Not everyone has a steam account, and steam isn’t for mac so he’d be shutting out a bunch of game-deprived mac users

tobbs40 - # November 3rd, 2007 at 10:50 pm
well… the game can be already done, but he might be setting up a payment method so why are you all getting so jittery. completely pointless. so just shove it up your *** and DEAL with it, its just a game. gosh man just like a herd of speeding ge-tars in California, no patience. gees. Now then, how old are all of y’all? because if your older than 12 then you have to have just a Bit of patience. man its just a game. so like i said “just shove it up your *** and DEAL with it”

firstly- shut the f*** up and let data continue what hes doing, y’all STOP SPAMMING because no one likes it.

secondly- stop arguing hiro and xdevil just go to hell if this is how both of you are going to act, and i don’t want to hear what you want to say so shove it.

thirdly- it is getting very very VERY ANNOYING about how y’all have NO patience, god damit! all of you should get a backbone instead of winning.

lastly- all of you are fuckin retards if you are so stupid as so wast time saying “is it ready? is it ready? is it ready? is it ready?is it ready?”

Mostly agreed.

As I said before,
“data will release it when he wants to, and he shouldn’t do so any sooner.”

Be patient, no need to fight about it.

We only have to hope Data doesn’t raise the price or something when he sees the devlog.

D:

Also, about steam: another problem with it is that you have to give a portion of the profit to Steam. Look at Garry’s Mod; Garry gives 50% of what he makes to Valve and Steam.

“How old and big are you?” You still think you need to be 8ft and 300 years old to insult someone on the interwebz for behaving like a six year old?
And I don’t have a bad temper. Just the opposite actually as you would know if you knew shit about me. Nice try attempting to analyze someone over what they type.
I enjoy internet debates as well, but see, that’s where you make a fool of yourself. You CAN’T have a debate with a spamming retard. They can’t formulate intelligent answers. Just look at what XDevil just posted.
How can you NOT insult someone that idiotic?

Joe Mikkel - # November 4th, 2007 at 1:12 pm
Interesting fact: The larger the fanbase of this game gets, the dumber the comments on these posts. I just looked back at a few of the posts from around six months ago, and I counted only one spamming retard and angered dolt in about 150 posts! This kind of statistic is incomprehensible when you look at these comments. I’m not surprised Data hardly posts here anymore…at least a lot less than he used to, it appears.
Now, I know i’m being a hypocrite here, but could we please get back on topic? Like talk about nuclear bunkers and how cool Data is?

PS(sorry for the long post) : XDevil, I see a hint of intelligence in you somewhere. If you remove all that unnecessary crap from your posts, you might be able to get a point across.

Nice try retard but when I took an IQ test a year ago I was at 120. And I was 14.
It’s also pretty hilarious how in the same post you say “I are not analyzing you” and then in the next sentence “your IQ is little!” Nice contradiction there.
(Translation of Tobbs post: I was just saying…uh..never mind I’ll just make a lame insult because I’ve got no clue what I was saying.)

And whitty, you made that info up because Data ISN’T DISTRIBUTING IT. He’s selling serial keys.

Where is the intelligence? He’s a mentally retarded spammer. Is there some way to ban it?
THExSERAPHIM - # November 4th, 2007 at 7:21 pm
Well, just thought I would pop in and say this, but your age at the time of the intelligence quotient test doesn’t matter, being 14 at the time of the test would be irrelevant, you would make virtually the same score as if you were 7. And, I’ve noticed a trend, even though you (referring generally) continually post comments encouraging Data to “hurry up”, nothing happens. So… don’t.
tobbs40 - # November 4th, 2007 at 9:20 pm
hiro u wana bring IQ into this? if so the the test says my IQ
is 149.
tobbs40 - # November 4th, 2007 at 9:22 pm

Mooseral - # November 4th, 2007 at 10:11 pm
Quiet, infidels!

The only reason this is happening is because people are bored waiting for the new build. These discussions are dumb, get nothing done, and have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the dev log, may I point out.

So, if you feel particularly compelled to fight, move it onto the off topic section on the forums, onto PMs, or stfu and get in the soup.

And, on a side note, age, IQ, and maturity have absolutely to do with your ability to post on the internet.

To stay on a topic of dev loggishness, I think that what whitty meant is that Data is looking for a way to distribute the keys properly, as opposed to disks. Keys do not distribute themselves. Most of the time.
Mooseral - # November 4th, 2007 at 10:14 pm
And I prove my third point by forgetting a word.
G’dnight, peoples.
Hiro - # November 4th, 2007 at 10:30 pm
You’re the one who brought IQ into this, Tobbs. Or did you already forget?

o and oops i made an eror my iq is actually 180 yup thats rite
Your IQ must be way way lower than mine to expect me to fall for that load of BS.
What’s the link to this test? I bet if I took it it’d inflate my score just like yours.
Hiro - # November 4th, 2007 at 10:36 pm
Uh, don’t think that’s what he meant, Mooseral, but even so that couldn’t be the reason it’s taking so long.
And if people like XDevil are so tortured by the wait, take a shower, put on some clothes, and go outside and look at all the nice things. No need to watch the skies for descending dropships or scan the horizon for skeletons and AK wielding clones. It’s safe out there, trust me.

149 rofl.. XD
eternjc - # November 4th, 2007 at 10:47 pm
Foolish humans! I’m alomost afraid to post here, since the “dev log” seems have become the “spam the poor programmers forum”. But …

Data: you mentioned you’d try to give us more updates. Are you still working through IGF stuff? Taking a break? Finalizing game distribution? What IS your plan now? Is there more to be added to CC before it gets released?

Pretty much … could we get a devlog update?
AGENT15 - # November 4th, 2007 at 11:56 pm
I think Data said he would be working on finding a distribution system. That’s the common rumor, anyway.
Joe Mikkel - # November 5th, 2007 at 12:05 am
Oh yeah, well, I have 20/20 IQ, beat that.

A high IQ is highly correlated with social ineptness. Which would explain everything.

Also, your IQ is dependent on your age, or on standard deviations on age group graphs (depending on the calculation method). Saying that you had an IQ of 120 “when you were 14″ makes no sense.

And finally, online IQ tests prove absolutely nothing. There is a reason that real IQ tests COST and take a few hours.

I’m sorry, I love debating. Mooseral is right, I am bored waiting for the next build. Hiro: I can’t go outside, it’s completely dark and freaking cold. But why don’t you go outside?

PS:I think I found a video of XDevil: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbcctWbC8Q0

…Your all strange… i doubt any of you have an IQ level what so ever! stop arguing about everything and anything. Especially Hiro and Xdevil. Hiro seems to be a never wrong, big headed, child with no life and Xdevil some kinda of moron. I don’t usually make any posts but its got stupidly…uh…. stupid on here! XD

I mean! how is… “you are a guy” an insult!?!

How about everyone talks about the game instead of silly internet tests! (On which Joe talks sense)

C’mon, nice words here people.. it used to be such a lovely community! haha… and now.. well… its like…the back alley of some grungy estate kinda community. some people really need to get a life… internet convosations should not annoy you if you have the ability to remove yourself from the pc and do something interesting!

Data will eventually release the version of the game he wants us to have, IN HIS OWN TIME and everyone will be happy!

Then… the actual game will be released! and instead of happy you’ll be ecstatic!!!

Just cool it ok!?! You’ll thank me in the end… I’m sure many others agree with me…! Just a small wait…

=]
Hiro - # November 5th, 2007 at 2:34 pm
Shh it’s okay lil guy. Everything will be all right, you don’t have to hurt yourself over a game.

Yeah now I can tell XDevil is just acting retarded to get attention.

@ Tobbs40 Post 312.

If your IQ is 149, I believe correct spelling is in place.
Also, I am 15, and I myself have had none REAL IQ test, and my theory is that neither have you. I have insufficient knowledge of this but I don’t think one’s allowed a real IQ test below the age of 16 or something, although this is mere speculation…

(I am sorry if I appear to be mean, this is not what I was aiming for, I am merely remarking on that there are few cases where people have had an IQ of around 150)

(Also, I’m a grammar-nazi )
tobbs40 - # November 5th, 2007 at 2:45 pm
well to help stop getting flamed im out of the dev log, because this is a completely inept argument. what was the start anyways to this war? well i’ll talk if there is something more intelligent going on than this flame war. bye-bye. ^^
Hiro - # November 5th, 2007 at 3:03 pm
I believe it started when I told a spammer to stfu. Then someone trying to be the lawgiver thought that was a mean thing to say to someone who is [pretending to be] mentally retarded and won’t stfu.

So yeah, a flamewar started over telling a spammer to SHUT UP.
Niro - # November 5th, 2007 at 3:25 pm
Data, you should ensure the next build is not released until the community sorts itself out. To shut these people up, claim something happened and caused all the new work to be lost.

Anything to shut these uneducated retards up.

Or… Have the forums and devlog as “pay to use” services. (You may say it will destroy the community, but it has already destroyed itself)

Yeah, I can’t wait. I hope Data doesn’t eventually transfer to Steam or anything like that, since Steam would just delay Cortex Command…

Cayne - # November 5th, 2007 at 9:10 pm
I wouldn’t mind CC on steam… in fact, I’ll bet if data did that he’d get even more customers
Mooseral - # November 5th, 2007 at 11:32 pm
And less money. I think 50% of steam profits go to steam, not to the game maker.

Dunno, seems like a bad idea considering it would also rule out mac users.

xdevil, just die.
seriously. get a razor blade and just cut open your neck.
onto the game, hurry with the update. its taking longer than i would expect, although i guess all thats happending is that data is sorting out payment methods and stuff?
would be nice for just an update though, even if it was just a harro the new build is mint, will be out in a few days….blah blah blah

tobbs40 - # November 6th, 2007 at 2:48 pm
i ment why exclude the mac?
theannoyed1 - # November 6th, 2007 at 3:46 pm
cuz the mac sucks

whoever put the larger the fan base gets the stupider the posts get
its because all the intellegent people have moved on to the forum and modding, having gotten bored of the bs of the dev log

120 is low
high for an american, low for everybody else
average american iq
100
130 is about average for the rest of the developed world
which puts me at about 140
didnt you read my page long post hiro!?!?!?!
stfu!!!

actually, its a good thing that all the retards are posting shit here
nobody cares about the devlog
keeps this shit off the forums where it would be dumped for no apparent reason
theannoyed1 - # November 6th, 2007 at 3:52 pm
oh and no matter how much the game costs, i have to pay less, because the dollar of the country i live in isnt shrinking to the value of the yen.

Hehe 1.07 american
Wahoo!

Stop pulling data out of your ass, Theannoyed1
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_and_the_Wealth_of_Nations

By the way, if you say that everyone who is intelligent moved off the devlog, and then you say that you have an IQ of 140, aren’t you contradicting yourself? Especially that you posted twice in a row… or did you mean to call yourself a “redtard” who is “posting shit”?

Also, I do believe that there are laws protecting people like XDevil… or at least an electric fence.
Mooseral - # November 6th, 2007 at 6:50 pm
Whee, currency.

The devlog is supposed to be related to development. Hence, I have tried to at least keep a section of every post on topic. The forum, however, has an off-topic section. If it is going to be moooortal kooooombat, it should be on the offtopic sections of the forum. Also, IQ still has nothing to do with ability to post on the internet. All that it means is that you should take longer to make posts.

XDevil: I didn’t mean Game Maker, I meant the maker of the game. Though, yes, I have dabbled in game maker before. It might help people not get pissed off at you if you excluded the nonsensical “notspam” parts of your posts, and either take more time before you post, or make an extensive study of the english language.

I’m not telling you not to post, just post more intelligently.

Mac users are a market, and as such, should be considered. Steam would also exclude most people without a credit car/paypal, removing another chunk out of the target audience.

That, on top of the 50% to Steam, makes it not worthwhile.
Joe Mikkel - # November 6th, 2007 at 7:38 pm
I doubt this game will actually get ported to Mac.. although Data did, a long time ago, say that it would be possible. But we don’t really know. That’s why it would be great if he actually gave a sign of life… but hey, if it gets the game released sooner, I don’t care if Data doesn’t post.

I thought this game was, technically, meant to be for the “mature audiences”, most of whom do actually have a credit/debit card. So, if we want to be politically correct, people who are too young to have a bank account (that they have the privelages to) should probably not play this game.
But that would remove 50% or more of the potential buyers… so screw being “politically correct”.
However, I doubt Data will accept mail orders. (Anyone see any other way?)

Sorry for going off topic so much in my previous posts, but as I said I’m bored… and it’s fun.
Hiro - # November 6th, 2007 at 7:38 pm
Wait a sec, did theannoying1 just assume his IQ was 140 because of some fact he made up about his country having an IQ 120? ROFL! And he says 100 is high for America.

“Cuz the mac sucks”
Real convincing argument, considering the only things wrong with macs are:
1) very few companies have realized how easy it is to port games to mac now that it has intel.
2) Apple is probably the most arrogant and stuck up company ever. (PCS ARE JUST CALCULATORS AND SPREADSHEET MACHINES, RIGHT GUYS? I can’t stand those ads >_>)
Oh, and one last thing:
Macs don’t get viruses.

FATALITY
Hiro - # November 6th, 2007 at 7:40 pm
Nah, Data already told me himself that it’s getting ported to mac.
I asked him a while back and he said he would port it once development on the final game was finished.
Joe Mikkel - # November 6th, 2007 at 8:03 pm
“Companies” realize things rather quickly, Hiro. They wouldn’t miss out on such a large market that easily. It’s actually the structure of the OS that makes it hard to port games to it. I agree that switching processors to Intel does help… just not enough. And Macs DO get viruses. It’s just a ridiculously infantismal amount compared to the PC.
…And Now For Something Completely Different…
Is infantismal a word? Andy what’s up with that “FATALITY” ?

Damnit, now I’, getting into a PC vs. Mac discussion.
I do hope it does get ported, though. Then all those Mac-using infidels could taste the awesomeness of Cortex Command! (Now can you guess which OS I support?)
Hiro - # November 6th, 2007 at 8:25 pm
Infinitesimal

And the only virus known for mac is one that you have to get an unknown email and be retarded enough to download its attachment.
Apple’s Fatality is that it’s virus proof unless you’re an idiot.

EA realized it pretty fast, and swiftly put out battlefield 2142, C&C 3, and NFS carbon. Then it goes rotten. Along with these, they defecated out a retarded harry potter game and a frickin’ GOLF GAME (yay golf, golf is still cool right? right? EVERYONE LOVES GOLF!!)

Believe me it’s been so painful having to run CC on virtual pc off of a downloaded XP SP2 OS that expired in 30 days…
literally 1 to 7 frames per second. And I still enjoyed it, that’s how great CC is.
Mooseral - # November 6th, 2007 at 8:32 pm
Infantessimal or infantesmal is a word… And hard to spell. It means very small, I.E. infantessimal chances of something means “not likely to happen”.

Personally, I dislike macs, as they cost at least one and a half times the price of competing PCs, and they are less flexible. They’re useful if you know little about computers, but the operating system just seems silly to me.

It is an audience though, and should be allowed to give data money.

Most of the games that end up on Steam either go there because they are indie, and it is the best option, or because they have failed to sell in other markets or have stopped selling. Cortex Command does not seem to stand to benefit from Steam, as there is already a community waiting to buy it, making an existing viable option to steam. The number of cortex command fans could grow dramatically after release, especially if Data allows for more customizablility and modability for the commercial builds.

So, Data doesn’t really need Steam to do his marketing for him, as it would probably not yield much better results than a homegrown or alternative effort.

Enjoy them up close or far away with the included Apple Remote. The most affordable way to Intel Core 2 Duo, iLife ’08, and Front Row starts at $599.

Yes, read it. Intel Core 2 Duo. $599.

You misunderstand. They’re not useful for computer illiterates, they’re useful for people who want an easy interface that doesn’t ask you to reconfirm 3 times if you want to throw something out. Huge diff.

My brother has an Intel Core 2 Duo in his computer, running at 2.33 ghz. It also has a 256 mb graphics card, and 2 gigs of ram. This was 700$ Canadian. The only problem was that it came with no operating system; no problem, he installed the copy of XP that came with his laptop.

However, they neither mentioned the video card nor ram of that mac, and didn’t even bother to put up which core 2 duo it is. It’d probably run like a dog compared to my brother’s machine, at 100$ less.

The mac’s advantage is running out of the box; hence making it better for the computer illiterate.

Vista has a checkbox hidden deep within it’s musty interiors; uncheck this, and it stops asking you 3 times for everything you do. Vista is almost (not really) half decent after this; it also gets rid of many of the stupid administrator “features” present.

Silly=lots of bells and whistles and a one button mouse for the reason of having a one button mouse. It’s like removing half your brain so as to be special. Sure, it can be replaced, but it irks me nonetheless. All of the shiniehness of the mac OS annoys me as well, though this may be from using old versions of windows for most of my life.

People who know how to use a computer can appreciate a mac, but the PC has many advantages. If you have a deep pocketbook, fine, go for a mac, otherwise use a PC in my opinion.

All of those popularity things for CC prove mah point: CC doesn’t need Steam, and the number of people playing can only go up after the commercial release. Keeping of a diluted free version of the game may even help popularity. Many other game projects have done it, and it seems to help… Though it is Data’s choice as to how he markets it.
Mooseral - # November 6th, 2007 at 9:25 pm
Waitt… a correction. My brother’s isn’t a core 2 duo. However, it is a dual core.

I got mine confused with his. I’m running on an AMD 64 X2, which I did buy along with the rest of my computer (which is probably better than that mac) for a far higher price (1200$, including tax.)… This was mostly the cost of expediency, though, as I bought it as a package from Dell, along with a 2-year warranty, a very good monitor, and some other stuff.

My computer as a mac would, I think, be 1800$, excluding tax.
Classical - Beethoven #9 - # November 6th, 2007 at 9:47 pm
wow, but can we be getting back on topic? going through all that to find something about the game is exhausting my eyes. (hint hint) People the dev log is for the GAME not about macs. ok so what but Mr. dev log wants stuff about the um whats the word im looking for? oh yeah, GAME! btw (off topic) my IQ is about the level of a collage professor in America. (13.2 years old) ( i know this is spam but i cant resist. im sorry) but please stay on topic instead of going off onto YET another topic unrelated to the dev log. so please less talk bout the different operating systems and IQ and more about things like the game play.
Joe Mikkel - # November 6th, 2007 at 11:47 pm
I just put together a PC with slightly better specs than the $1200 iMac. It included the monitor, wireless keyboard and mouse, case, and all that. It had almost the exact same hardware (I couldn’t find the exact Radeon that Apple put into the iMac, but i found an equivalent [Visiontek Radeon 9250 Video Card - 128MB DDR, PCI, DMS-59, Low Profile, Video Card]. Oh, and it has a 2.2 Ghz Core 2 Duo instead of 2.0.
And how much does it cost? $909.02, including shipping. That’s almost a $300 price difference. With XP, that would be an extra $99, or $50 if you know where to look.
Oh, and the mouse had seven buttons. And a little wheel.

There is no “probably” here. PC are cheaper. Even with better hardware.

Also- Mac Minis are so cheap because they have no monitor, mouse, or keyboard. A 20″ LCD could go up into the $300 (higher, if you’re a feature creep). They also have virtually no video memory (64MB >SHARED
Joe Mikkel - # November 6th, 2007 at 11:49 pm
isn’t really useful for any power-hungry apps or games)

Ah, and there are far many more viruses than you think, Hiro, it’s just that they are very, very rare. I’ll give you that.
