Give up the whining

I'm bored, so I'm going to join in.

Some people place way to much importance on video games and their own, personally-perceived importance within these virtual gaming forums.

There are many papers on this, but what you are seeing is the result of disassociation: some guys have so little impact on the world around them that shouting about video games - and getting a response from other depressives - is the only validity they get in day-to-day life.

Can you imagine how shit life must be if ranting about a video game is important to you?

Yeah - pretty shit. Normal people get upset about their families, or their careers. Some get upset about politics.

Our guys, though - they spend hours getting upset about minor things in a video game.

And now, now they're hearing that no-one cares, or will listen any more. No more fixes.

Cue /more/ bug threads and /more/ sarcastic comments designed to somehow legitimise their ongoing obsession.

Guys/girls: give it up. Being a loudmouth on a virtual forum - one that'll not be here in ten years time - will not improve your life. It'll ruin it. You're destroying it already. There's so much you could do! Why not learn to fly a real ******* plane? Shave your ass? Visit somewhere you've never been before? Learn something about common human decency?

I'm going to hang around for a bit and **** with the usual low-life that live here, because it might amuse me.

Novotny...'shave your ass'...well, quite....

And yes, that's about the size of it...

Oh c'mon, say what you mean! Ellipses are for gypsies, as my old tutor would say. Either make a point or don't. All this talking up your sleeve crap - be a man, for god's sake!

OMG ... I didn't realize my life was such utter crap, until I read Novotny's post. I used to enjoy reading comments from people who also had an interest in WW 2 air combat simulation but I now realize how empty and facile the whole business has become. So taking Novotny's advice I went out and shaved everything, including my ass, but so far nothing has changed. My life is still utter crap. What should I do next?

Furbs,
The GUI as I understand is the graphics that drives the program, so if there is a new GUI then surely that means basically a new graphics engine. The GUI system was introduced back in 1995 which was a big advance for programmers. A change in the GUI (Graphics Engine) is why the sequel won't be backwards compatible with C.o.D. The planes maps etc, from C.o.D. will be transfered into the sequel and because of the change in the GUI programming anything from the sequel won't go in reverse.

Um, no. GUI = is the interface (menus etc), graphics engine is how planes/atmosphere/ground etc is drawn in game. A new GUI does not mean a new graphics engine. We have apparently already had one of them.

As others have said the GUI is just the menus, picking loadouts, planes and missions.
We have already seen screen shots of the sequel running the same engine as we have now, it might get tweaked but its the same engine as COD.

Can you find the quote where Luthier said were getting a new "graphics engine" for BOM?

Edit
Found the quote i think your on about...

11. Will the aircraft loads GUI be fixed for the CoD patch/BoM sequel (and in which)?

Luthier- "Completely redoing the entire GUI for the sequel"

Furbs...

At the point where you read:

"The GUI as I understand it is the graphics that drive the program" you end comms

Son, you've only been here for a few months. I've been dealing with this wankfest from long before you'd even learnt how to shit. And from the first days of IL-2 as well.

Get in line, I have adults to insult.
