fuck. i just rememberd im in windows. u selected the text that i wanted to paste nad clicked the scrollwheel in here and....nothing. windows sucks.

anyway, after a ctrl+c and ctrl+v,

heres a post i saw while googling

"Really??? More OpenGL games then D3D? Not quite. Every single RTS and 3rd person shooter or Sports title for the PC runs D3D. The only games that are OpenGL based are 1st person shooters using the 3 year old quake3 engine. Now, do the math. How many Sport titles(Madden, Tony Hawk, Baeseball, Soccer, Tennis, Golf and more...) How many RTS games(Too many to mention) How many 3rd person games(GTA series, MaxPaybe, Blood Raybe, Unreal, and sooo many more) comapred to OpenGL?
D3D has at least 3-1 ratio against OPENGL. Just look at the upcoming game releases for 2004. Almost every game is D3D. Only DOOM3 and it's spin offs will be OpenGL. HL2(D3D) will run the havok engine on quite a few titles the same way as the Doom(OPENGL) engine will. But you won't see ANY RTS OR SPORTS title not to mention RPG's run the DOOM engine or openGL for that matter.
Do this for us if you can. Name all the OPENGL games for the past year. Now name all the D3D"

confirmation that unreal 3 is dkx 9

"
NVIDIA and Epic Games announced the first public showing of Unreal Engine 3 at this week's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). Unreal Engine 3 is the first game engine to take full advantage of Shader Model 3.0, a key feature of Microsoft DirectX 9.0. No points for guessing which graphics manufacturer is the only one with a product currently supporting SM 3.0. "

TRAITORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I read in an interview that he uses Windows ME. I could be wrong though.

You're gonna hate me for this, (physics!)
newtons ? law.
every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
microsoft moves back, leaves a vacuum. linux sucked(bad word: propelled) forward.
