Well, one things for certain: Shockwave has just been made obsolete. And since Adobe never made a native port, good riddance then. :P

The feeling I get from this is it is basically a standardized implementation for games that want to be like Quake Live rather than your standard Flash or Java creation, e.g actually run from the users system rather than on-server.

This is not the first time, after having played a few hours of Deus Ex, I go out into the real world and everyone is still talking the same way.

CONSIPRACY!

You may go back to your arguing. Or not. Whatever. I will just sit and watch for now.

They need more people. The only way that can happen is for them to get more money, and as such get more games. Seems to me the best way forward is to give them more games, as we need it in opposition to Steam. On all platforms.

What else have you heard about Desura and working with developers? I was not expecting it, but I have actually become surprisingly Desura loyal, so I would like to know more specifics if you have gotten them.

What is the difference between Cave Story+ and the one available for free through Desura?

EDIT: Here is the description from the Humble Bundle website:

QuoteCave Story is the critically acclaimed opus by indie game developer Pixel, originally created as a tribute to games like Metroid and Castlevania.Cave Storyis a 2D platformer in the "metroidvania" tradition, with a classic, world-saving hero and an emphasis on exploration and discovery. The indie studio Nicalis worked with Pixel to update graphics and add new game modes, reflected in this edition of Cave Story.

Yeah me and a couple of people on the Phoronix forums were helping out with the beta testing on this one. Got it working better on the R600 Gallium drivers. :)

And it should help people be "patient" while waiting for the Linux relase of Ignite. ;)

Also, once again, best of luck Liam. Hope everything gets better soon. :(

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 2784, member: 1"Has there been any word from Bungie to allow free use of the assets like Aleph One do so people don't have to guy buying second hand cd's from 99?

I guess you would have to go digging since they do not have it on GoG. Shame really.
