How is babby formed would be terrible... but internet memes in general are lame.

I have a full-sized poster of myself with the text "A legend in his own mind" and a drained Campbell's soup can mounted on a bracket.

The only proprietary formats iTunes uses are Apple Lossless and I guess the DRM'd files from the iTunes store... By default, it encodes things in AAC, which is not proprietary

I'm worried that Fallout 3 will lose a lot of the openness the previous games had. Oblivion let you wander around wherever you wanted, but (ignoring the guilds) there was really just the main story line you had to follow. If you tried to kill certain characters, they would just become unconscious.

One of the great things about Fallout was how the game didn't care if your actions destroyed core parts of the narrative. If you killed an important quest giver, you could still beat the game... There would simply be no one to tell you how to do it.

Isn't the point of demos convincing people to buy your game?

I'm a fan of Viscous Badger.

I wonder if Civ IV (non-STEAM version) would run with this on a different Mac. I know that if you were to use BootCamp, the game would not run on the Mac Mini because the GMA950 is not one of the few integrated graphics chipsets that the game is compatible with.

On an unrelated note, I hate the Mac port of Civ IV. I'm fairly certain it is just running on an emulation layer. On my MBP, it runs terribly at the lowest settings. If I boot my machine into XP, I can max out the game's settings and never have even a little slowdown. So, if I choose the Mac version of the game over the Windows version, I pay more money and get significantly worse performance.

MakAttack, I'm not sure if it would work the same way in UT3 (I've only played the demo), but in previous UT games, when you joined a game you didn't have a map or mod for, it automatically downloaded off the other players.

I hooked the 360 drums up to my MacBook Pro, and use them in Ableton Live as well as Garageband. It was pretty easy... I have the latest version of the 360 controller driver installed (I don't know if it is actually necessary or not). I also have a program called ControllerMate that lets me map peripherals to keyboard keys. So, I have a ControllerMate profile for Garageband and another for Live, so that the d-pad can be used for different things (program settings mostly).

FutureShop still lists the software release date as the 22nd and the package with the instruments as the 28th. I guess there is no harm in showing up the morning of the 20th and looking, though I'm not a fan of mornings.
