The goal counter works.

Which proves that I watched it for more than one loop...

I think IE would restrict the VBscript, but I'm sure there's a way around it. You could always use Java Malicous socket servers could do plenty, so I'm pretty sure they're blocked.

What you said is sound, but I have no idea about Flash so I can't be of much help there I'm afraid.

Most firewalls have an option to check if a program should be allowed to access the 'net, so that's what I was basing it on. I'm not sure how Flash would handle it, so it's worth testing.

Hey Job,

I was going to use a cleint - client model for SO, with the server just hosting information about what games were going on. This would have used a PHP script to register each session with the database. This would ease the load on the server, at a cost of cheating between players. Not sure how it would have worked outside of the theory, but sounded good at the time. I'd probably stick with the same model now, but replacing the basic php script with a web service.

I don't think many hosts will allow connections on different ports, it's something of a security risk as far as they're concerned. You're more than welcome to try here if you want, but I would doubt it would work.

Twats who use "Freedom of speech" as an excuse to be complete and utter cock-sucking, dribbling shitbags.

I can't really think of an example that is globally offensive, but I'm sure you've heard of people who say child pornography should be legal due to freedom of speech.

One example is of people complaining that the British government has arrested people for sharing information about making bombs. This was to cut down the risk of IRA attacks, but apparently it made Britain "Less Free". I'm sorry, but if not being allowed to talk about making bombs prevents me from having nails blown through my head, I'm all for it.

The freedom of speech is a right, but one that shouldn't be abused. It just always seems to be used to make excuses for criminals, much like the Human Rights act.

It looks like it's going to be Shining Soul in 3D.

I think a video will be released in November, so then we'll all finally see what the future looks like.

Types are similar to structs. Just a nice way of grouping information. The hardest part for me was understanding lists of types, because it's not implemented the best way. I couldn't understand it, so I wrote own list handler If you're interested I can post some samples

Give me a few days, and I'll see what I can do

Like this:

34% of terrorists are female
13% of terrorist acts don't involve explosives
66% of weapons are sold to terrorists by European states
87% of internet statistics are made up

I hate that so much.

George Bush slipped on a banana skin and crashed into the Pentagon.

Most people seem to have man-traps in their wallets that prevent them from buying games, even if they really really really want them.

I'm sure there was a Saturn emulator that was relatively good floating around, but I never got it working.

I agree with bEn, you can't judge a single thing about the gameplay from those shots.

The waterfall shot looks cool, but the other's look a little...bright. Hopefully will be true to the Shining Style.

I work with kids, and I see them copying things they've seen on TV and Video Games all the time. Most of it is pretty harmless, but there's a few times I get a little worried.

It's not really a case of if they're influenced, just how much. A stable mind and their surroundings all come into play just as much as what they see on the screen.
