Step 1: Purchase Magazine with game in it
Step 2: Input the game code using crappy keyboard
Step 3: Debug your typos
Step 4: Debug your typos
Step 5: Debug your typos
Step 6: Debug your typos
Step 7: Run out of memory
Step 8: Rage


That too... Though I never hit Step 7... I always went straight from Step 6 to Step 8 when I failed to save to tape and had to restart at Step 1.  Cheesy

Running out of memory killed everything on my TRS-80, if you didn't have it saved to tape already you were starting over.

I was cleaning some stuff out 2 or 3 years ago and found a bunch of my old tapes and tape deck, popped one in and listened to it a while to remind me of old times. It was a racing game I could never get to work. Ended up throwing them out along with most of my floppies.

I don't think I have ever run out of memory when doing something. I'm not much of a computer guy but still.

Exponential growth of computing power FTW.

That's because we have virtual memory now.  You'd have to run out of RAM and hard drive space for that to be an issue.  Tongue

Anybody coming to this board expecting anything more sophisticated than a dick joke had better get used to disappointment.

I just got that impression after you spent 13 pages calling out eladiun for being an interwebs bully when anyone who's been posting on here already knew that.  I mean, he's proud of it and hardly tries to hide that at all.

Wound up with a custom boot disks depending on if I needed CD support, sound card support, and/or mouse support. It was simple enough that my little brothers could figure it out.

so nobody else believes he's genetically engineered to be on the "side of the downtrodden"? He's too blunt and honest, just seems weird to me.
That aside, it's nice to see.

This has to be the weirdest complaint I've ever seen.  Sad

[quote=MajMalphunktion;4095108]Witty.

More like we are a company in transition, personally I think it is something wonderful. People are going to love it, or hate it.

Grumble grumble. [/quote]

Interesting, definitely not used to this much honesty from anyone at Turbine since Eldorudo.

No no, I mean, it just seems like a clever scheme. Good cop/bad cops, Stainer could analyze it. I am of course paranoid.
