Re: Ruby Gotchas that will come back to haunt you

I had no idea that `class Foo::Bar` differed from `module Foo; class Bar`. I am now using the latter in my gem project so I don't have to `include Foo` everywhere, though I will miss the conciseness of the former.

Gasp, I've been proved wrong! I tip my hat to thee.

I don't think either side should be paying the other. I figured if anyone would need to pay it'd be you guys, since it seems like the only thing Valve is getting out of this is extra incurred bandwidth and I doubt that anyone who bought the bundle and isn't using Steam would start using it now. It's a good thing you didn't pay, though; I was hoping you didn't. :)

Nice! Out of curiosity, did you have to pay Valve anything?

I love it! It's like an absurd XMoto.

Me likey! I much prefer this to downloading a >500MB file every week.

But what if you REALLY want that black theme?

That was definitely called for.

Neat, but I don't see why Unity is worthy of the special attention.

Tarn should remake Dwarf Fortress' graphics system so there could be a graphics pack in this style.

Hah, nice job nabbing Nathan! As far as Blender rigging goes, he's probably the best guy to go to.

His Big Buck Bunny demo reel is pretty fascinating to watch. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Length doesn't matter. Feeling like a finished product does.

It's worth noting that most people got it as a part of the Orange Box, and many of them were not very interested in that particular game, including me.

The demo was surprisingly fun! The combat system has that rare quality of being simple, yet requiring skill and experience to take full advantage of it.

I don't expect this game to get many buyers, simply because when people see low-res pixel art, people think "cheap". But I feel that the gameplay and polish of the game is worth the $5, so I will buy it. =)

EDIT: Rather, I would buy it if the payment form didn't require so much personal info. My phone number and home address are not necessary to buy a digital copy of a game.

Surprisingly fun! I thought it'd be one of those annoying diabolically hard indie games games, but it was rather fair to the player. =) The VVVVVV mode was a neat touch. Fun game all-around!

Re: The best advert for Ubuntu you probably never saw

Skofo — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 20:06:46 -0000

Not impressed. The point of adverts is to show what -advantages- you have over your competitors. Browsing the web, reading email, watching movies, and video chatting are capabilities that are -expected- in any OS.

A Twitter app? Just what I needed!

That was pretty interesting.

I don't know what I'd say about The Behemoth in you guys' position. Looking at Castle Crashers' credits, there is a pretty significant amount of employees, including several management-types like project manager and QA, which is more characteristic of a mainstream studio than an indie one.

Criticizing choice of topics for blog posts is very reasonable advice. The examples you gave would work as advice for individual blog posts, while I am giving advice with regard to the blog as a whole.

Constructive advice never hurts.

I don't think most of us care about Twitter nearly as much as you do.
