Interesting, I wonder how it'll be with the 360.
will it cost money with the PC? I wonder how 360 owners will take another $100 a year to be subscirbed with this. This post has been edited by Wizdabest: Aug 14 2006, 10:06 PM |

QUOTE(Wizdabest @ Aug 14 2006, 11:08 PM)  Hey wait though, wasn't Sony planning something like this already with the PS3? I don't know about the PS3, but Sony already has one for the PS2: RPG Maker II And you can make some 'old school' games on the PC with these: RPG Maker 2000 RPG Maker 2003 RPG Maker XP However, those are just for making RPGs...this new tool should be more versatile. A big plus for those gamers (like my brother  ) who hate RPGs.

My kids will be happy....but does this open up the world to spammers even more w/ online games....esp. if they hate Microsoft? (I don't hate them, btw).
What do you think? Good news or Bad?? I do online video posts already....but this is where you program...and can program in junk, right? Me.  PS: I just followed BleepingComputer's Mozilla Browser Tutorial and installed it and this is where I am right now and typing this from....too cool.....I didn't make it my main browser.....I have both icons next to each other on my desktop...just click which one I wish to use....My question: do all spywear/etc. work on Mozilla, too?? I read an article on that but now (of course) i cannot locate it on the forum.

another good game creator is gamemaker, involves coding too.
