Oh. Erm... So are you saying it's too late to start on my NANY 2011 now?

On Wednesday, it was announced that a game called Minecraft had hit a million sales. This probably isn’t the first time that you, a denizen of the internet, have heard that word. But unless you’re in the habit of following up on every indie game mention you happen to see, there’s a good chance this particular title might have slipped under your radar.

Why it matters
Sounds interesting, you say, but why should I care that a few guys have put together a cool little indie game? The reason you should care is because a team of four or five people using free libraries and cross-platform tools have just made a mockery of the last five years of franchise-oriented, $50 million budget, yearly-release, AAA game development. And it’s not just a fluke. The Humble Indie Bundle, World of Goo, Braid, and a number of other extremely low-budget titles have electrified the gaming community, while games with millions in marketing budget like APB and Kane & Lynch fall flat on their face critically and commercially. Gamer discontent with these barren blockbusters is palpable, and Minecraft is the new poster boy for it.
NANY 2011: New Apps for the New Year 2010 Participant
It has been abandoned for way more than a year - no support - but a number of users are ("were"; the forum is of course also dying; last post was in Nov. 2010) quite happy with Presto. Sadly, a full key still is $20, but the trial is fair;-Curt (January 15, 2011, 04:42 AM)
What was really ironic was that the gum came with a big cancer warning on the wrapper - unfortunately I cant remember what artificial sweetener was used in it...-tomos (January 15, 2011, 03:43 AM)
Studies in laboratory rats during the early 1970s linked saccharin with the development of bladder cancer in rodents, resulting in the United States Congress mandating that all food containing saccharin bear a warning label.
However, in 2000, the warning labels were removed because scientists learned that rodents, unlike humans, have a unique combination of high pH, high calcium phosphate, and high protein levels in their urine.[20][21] One or more of the proteins that is more prevalent in male rats combines with calcium phosphate and saccharin to produce microcrystals that damage the lining of the bladder. Over time, the rat's bladder responds to this damage by over-producing cells to repair the damage, and this leads to tumor formation. As this does not occur in humans, there may not be elevated bladder cancer risk.
This was in the changelog for 1.21.1 (Nov 5):Hope so - because nether portals acted VERY strange when I played with them, resulting in 5+ portals appearing on my map after going back and forth a couple of times O_o.* Attempted to fix the portal dupe bug where you could exit through a different (new) one than the one you entered through.
So it should be mostly fixed, but I think he's still working on it.-Deozaan (November 10, 2010, 09:18 PM)
I guess the game didn't "link" portals, but creates/uses based on world coordinates, and there is/was some fsckup in this.-f0dder (November 11, 2010, 02:57 AM)
I've noticed a lot of complaints, both here and on the GetSatisfaction site, about portals and how travel using them is a bit bugged at the moment. So in this thread I'm going to complile my knowledge about how portals work, and also list some of the common issues people encounter when using portals, and describe how to fix them and why the fix works.
Weird how they pronounce Aspartame. Everyone I know pronounces it so it sounds similar to "as part of me."-Deozaan (January 14, 2011, 06:53 PM)
There are a few things like that in English that get weird pronunciations sometimes. "Jujube" is one. It's properly pronounced like "jew jewb" without an "ee" sound at the end.-Renegade (January 14, 2011, 07:09 PM)
iCrap app(s) cost money.-Deozaan (January 13, 2011, 01:47 AM)
To be fair, that's a function of the developer of the app. Developing a paid app for a free service has always seemed sort of questionable to me, especially if you don't have a free (if less featured) version to give back to the community...-wraith808 (January 13, 2011, 10:57 AM)
On a related note, what are some recommended on-demand scanning for antivirus, malware, etc.?-superboyac (January 12, 2011, 11:59 AM)
This is an area where English is simply deficient and Chinese excels. Where a single pronunciation and spelling in English is ambiguous, Chinese characters differ and make the exact meaning clear.-Renegade (January 10, 2011, 08:10 PM)

What MAY also be a bit misleading when looking for a new large monitor, is that it the specificaitons can say 24" and so you might, reasonably, expect that to be a monitor of 1920 x 1200 dimensions BUT you'd be wrong.-nudone (February 07, 1974, 06:00 AM)
