^ this :)

I played Doom 2 before I played the first one and it got me in the exact way you describe.

The demo that played in the background of the title screen was the 'Circle of Death' level and I remember thinking "How is the person playing this level able to cope?" It was traumatic just watching it! I struggled enough with the early levels and it was very much a case of....

Run in room
Get enemy attention
Run out of room
Hope enemy walks out on his own (which didn't happen most of the time because of the simple AI!)

Seeing a Keycard in the middle of a room, all on its own less for a flickering light.... You know what's next, you know you have to get the key card, but still you stand there hesitating.

I've played lots of games that have been too intense for my graphics card to run at 60fps. That is the game was pushing them to 100% of what they were capable of. Don't remember CATCHING ON FIRE because of it.

Poor story? I think so.

In third place, with a time of 01:02.305 is Sort United.

In second place, with a time of 00:58.112 is Team Sorted.

And in first place, with a time of 00:59:836 is UCSD!

Causing an environmental disaster is one thing, but this... this... I'm sorry it's too much.

This might be considered a stupid question but...

The performance of this version will be the same as before, right?

Reminds me of the big train sketch

I've been using it on my android devices since I first got a G1. Hell I even used it before then on a bog standard landline phone...

*dial number*
*ring ring*
"Hello?"
"Hi it's Chris, the Satsuma is flying without wings beyond the crust of the BIG APPLE pie."
"Got ya"

Sorted.

Between 2am and 4am and if you're lucky 10am and 12am weekdays.

I had BT Broadband in Canterbury and jesus christ was it awful the rest of the time. I've used Sky broadband not 200 metres away in another house and it's pretty damn good all of the time, that or maybe my expectations of ADSL have been lowered so much it just seems damn good.

First everyone hosted their own site themselves (I believe this was the case? I didn't really do that part)
Then everyone had sites hosted elsewhere (geocities)
Then everyone had a page on a single site (facebook)
Soon everyone will have their own facebook (diaspora)
And then everyone will have their own... everything on their own server... kinda like Unite by... Opera! Always two steps ahead

1) Have your monitor shake and blow air in your face while opening a browser.
2) Add some motion blur when scrolling a page.
3) Lower your desk. Generally, the closer to the floor you are the faster it seems. I am using go karts as an example.
4) Make ALL youtube videos play at 2x speed except for videos about rival browsers, which shall be played at 0.5x.

So from a clients perspective (mine in this case)the HTML5 experience is slow whereas the flash experience is reasonably quick.

And from the server point of view HTML5 is slower as well...

HTML5 - Served by app04 in 1.168 secs. cpu: 1.100

Flash - Served by app10 in 0.482 secs. cpu: 0.420

What's the point then?

Give me 20 quid and I will install a SPY FOLDER on your computer, whether it's Windows, Mac or Linux.

You too can store things INSIDE your very own SPY FOLDER. Features include

Store things inside.
Keep things separate from other things that are not inside your SPY FOLDER.
All this and more!

Again, all yours for just 20 quid. Call 555-HAPPYDUDE now.

Bitching about themes, reminds me of those TV programmes where a presenter or two show a couple various houses in the hope that they will buy one.

They roll up to the house, walk into the living room and say "no, i don't like the paint, or that chair, that dog looked at me weird."

NEWS FLASH - CHANGE IT.

No one uses Ubuntu because it's brown. FACT.

No doubt if the machine is $200,000 the print cartridges will be $600,000 and still only use three quarters of its ink!

Thanks for the response. By the sounds of it I am sanitising as well (though not good at explaining it!). I've made my own framework that expects an email address for a field marked as email, a date for a date field and so on.
