I played since WC1, which was originally going to be a Warhams Fantasy Battle game before some drama happened. It was fun at the time and the art can still be considered decent but it immediately became unplayable when WC2 and C&C came out. You could only control 4 units at a time and the game pace was dreadfully slow. Multiplayer was only 1v1 as well.

I said come in! posted:

Warcraft 2 was my first real Blizzard title, but I bought the warchest edition that came with Warcraft I, but I didn't play that until later. Then I got into Diablo, and then Starcraft and then Warcraft III. I had thought from the start actually that you could make an awesome RPG out of Warcraft III's graphics engine, low and behold that's exactly what ended up happening, except it was a lovely MMO instead.


Warcraft 3 was originally going to be a cool RPG/RTS hybrid, with a lot more RPG elements than it ended up with. I assume that changed when they decided to make WoW and turned Warcraft 3 into a setup for that instead.

I still can't believe that they're making a WoW movie. I thought that after the one-two punch of Scott Pilgrim and Tron: Legacy the big studios realized that targeting nerds never works out because they just :filez: everything.

I really like Duncan Jones' other movies so I hope it's good, but I'm expecting the worst. At the very least Clancy Brown is an orc chieftain and that's some perfect casting.

They made for enjoyable movies so I am not going to complain. If the Alamo theaters here don't serve hot pockets at the opening for WoW, I'll be slightly disappointed though.

isn't it easier to just assume WoW is non-canon? Why would anyone honestly think of it that way, it's impossible for such a fragmented thing to constitute a "timeline"

But even WoW contradicts itself all the time. They keep changing their mind about poo poo, from major to minor, and not following up on things they set up.

It's like if in the new Star Wars they talked about that time Chewbacca and Elkot (the space elf they retconned into being part of the original story) blew up the first death star. It's like, even a basic dumb escapist story needs to feel coherent.

How come older games had to do this? I always remember this being the hardest part of installing any game on DOS or Windows 95.

So that's Guerilla's new game? I had heard a rumor that it was a whole new I.P. they were working on. Just as long as Killzone doesn't come back.

Before Windows 95, you had to manage IRQ settings manually, usually with hardware switches. like the well known SET BLASTER A220 I5 line in autoexec.bat, Dos IRQ conflicts with mouse, cd rom, printer, video card, etc would happen and freeze your machine. Nowadays it's automatically fixed, but back then in the Dos days it was a minefield troubleshooting every game.

and that's not including memory issues, that's a whole different story.

E: here's a bunch of info

I recall not liking that the IRQ would be automatically assigned since I felt like windows would gently caress that up, so I preferred doing it myself.
