I got boned by that "Keep" DLC with the storage box. I made it to the top of the Keep, killed everything, on the way out I notice that Picture you click to make a chest pop out of the wall..I'm overloaded so, Hey I'll just bop down to the storage box, unload and come back.
NOPE! Since I "Beat" the Keep , the doors now no longer open, Chest lost forever. I was so pissed.
They could have just dumped that damn storage box at camp since the door to the keep was closed forever after you beat it. I paid for that damn Keep and now I can't enter it? What Bullshit.
It also said that due to royalties it would need to be more "selective" about track listings,...
This sounds like "let's include more stuff like "Visions" and "I'll get By" where the artist is happy we included them in our game, not like those big rock stars with their big egos and good music and wanting a decent royalty, a pox on them!"
I use VB.NET (2005 and up) mostly at work. Back in the olden days when I was in college, we learned, in order. BASIC 1 & 2, FORTRAN, COBOL 1 & 2 and then ASSEMBLER for your degree.
I was a VIC-20 hacker and then moved to C-64 and then ATARI 800XL (mixing basic and ML) before I started my college days. When Turbo C came along I bought that and learned a bit on my own, by that time they were also teaching that at the college I had went to so I went back and took a semester of C.
I like all those languages, but BASIC is still my favorite. I'll take an app I've coded here for work, and for fun, recode it in C# (or even C...C++ I consider a nightmare), but really, there is no difference anymore speed wise for your basic apps. Yeah, I'm not writing device drivers or sending bits through serial ports or IN and OUT ing to the sound card, but then not everything needs to be coded to the bare metal ALL THE TIME. When it's required I can do it, but most of the time, it's not
Yeah, back in the day I ditched basic for a while and used C because the basic interpreters were slow. But today, I'm happy with VB.NET (and C#).
I'll never understand the hate for BASIC. It's a tool, you can use it right or you can use it wrong.
