TNM in the media

[DanielH93]

Appearance in this month's PC Gamer! [Albeit a brief one] 7th in a countdown of top 10 downloads. Bravo. You folks are popular.

Are Deus Ex Mods coming back into fashion? Did they ever leave?

Scans HERE

I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but after the treatment PCPP gave us, this PCG UK blurb is kind of an anticlimax

But hey, coverage is coverage. 7 out of 10 though? That means there are 6 better downloads than TNM?

Hardly

Well if you count entertainment per MB of download, not even TNM can top X:com.

If you count entertainment per MB of download, you don't deserve access to the Internet.

You know, it's pretty amazing to get covered in a magazine like that when you haven't paid them anything to get good placement.
Long as it gets our name out there into thousands and thousands of homes, even if it's on the top of someone's toilet-back, I'm pretty satisfied. Heh, maybe I'm just easy to please.

If I had to choose between the internet and X:com, I would actually hesitate for several actual seconds before saying the internet and then crying.

I'm not slamming X-Com, I'm saying I sincerely doubt you like X-Com because it takes up a lot of space on your harddrive.

[EDIT] Fuck, I just realized what you said before. I misunderstood you. Commencing operation Shut Up And Sit Down

Meh, our local PC mag had a very very small section on TNM, so compared to that...

Entertainment value per MB- Amount of entertainment versus how large the download is- little time you had to spend getting it off the internet. X:Com's lasted me six years of nearly non-stop playing and took a grand total of like four seconds to download. TNM lasted me a good week or so (haven't played the WorldCorp path yet though, finishing a DeusEx replay first) and took just under two hours to download. X:com was a 3 MB download compared to TNM's 900.
I doubt this is how PC Gamer ranked their downloads feature, but if you use that metric....
Of course, from that scan image they're talking about free games, and X:com is no longer free. I got it back before 2K Bought the license and put it on Steam for five bucks.

TNM on slashdot. The gamasutra interview. People on slashdot don't seem to know TNM well, though there's jokes about the things TNM could teach the DukeNukemForever team.

I hate that style of comments where you have to click and load a separate page just to read child comments. They're never worth reading, they don't save any page load times, and it just gets annoying. Sure, break the comments into multiple pages if they grow too many, but having to work to read each individual one is so blegh.

I actually think it's kind of funny they all thought the game was bad based on the trailer. Was our parody of bad movie trailers really so incredibly accurate that people couldn't tell it was a parody?

It's actually AJAX - The entire page shouldn't re-load when you expand a comment unless you have Javascript disabled or something inhibiting the XML request. The idea is to load only the new comment while you can continue to manipulate the page or whatnot.

It also allows you to vaguely mention Web 2.0 and take the word "Webolution" seriously.

Those guys over at RPG Codex are absolute wank stains. Jonas, I found you patience admirable, if I was you I woulda cracked.

I agree...
