3/2 Opinions on HoM&M III ? Is it as good as the others (especially
for someone who's never played any of the others, like me)
- seidl
\_ Reviews say its just like the others. Evolution, not revolution.
Try a demo for one of the earlier games. Same idea. You either
like that sort of game or you don't. I enjoyed the earlier games
although like many games they got a bit tedious at the end, but
not especially so. I haven't played III yet though.
\_ Well, if I really like MoM or MoO II, will I like this?
\_ MOO is a different genre. MoM is very similiar. Certainly
the same genre of games but has it's own twist, of course.
I'd say if you liked MoM, then you'd probably like the
first two HoMM games which are probably 95% the same as
III. As I said though, haven't played III yet.
\_ I liked #2 and #1 and King's Bounty, and this one really, really
is more of the same. Freakin' boring. Hero micromanagement
gets nuts. Maps are huuuuge. Argh.
\_ To each his own. I like the micromanagement thing. The
FPS frag fest is amusing for a while, but really....
\_ it's like, I was watching someone play both HOMM3 and
Alpha Centauri, and I liked Alpha Centauri a lot more.
Even though it's like the same ol Civ1/2 micromgmt,
all the tech stuff was interesting reading. |

in the area? -chrchan

\_ Just give birth to the baby yourself.
\_ very good experience with Rockridge Dental, although they seem
to do the right thing even if it's not covered by
insurance. DOn't know if they're family. Ask. -appel
\_ I have an awesome dentist but I'm not telling you who because he's
really busy already and I don't want everyone else to know.

3/2 I just got an AWSOME offer from Oracle. What do you guys think
\_ Ok girl, what's the offer like? why are you so silent?
\_ Apparently they didn't make sure candidates could spell
\_ Spelling is opshunal at Orickle. -Orickle employee
about going there?
\_ In the apps division? Hope not cuz they biz sucks are Oracle...
\_ Ok girl, what's the offer like? why are you so silent?
\_ Apparently they didn't make sure candidates could spell
\_ Spelling is opshunal at Orickle. -Orickle employee
about going there?
\_ Oracle definition of "5/1 Development"-- Spend your first 5
years debugging other people code. Complain about the quality
of the code while debugging it up. After 5 years, you spend 1
year writing your own code. Don't debug your new code; have
new hires spend their first 5 years debugging your code. The
new hires complain about the quality of your code. You leave
Oracle. After 5 years, the new hires spend 1 year writing
their own code. They don't debug their new code; they have
new hires spend the first 5 years debugging their code. They
leave Oracle. Restart.
\_ One person complained that they didn't like using in-house
dev tools and would rather be using industry standard tools
(MSVC6, etc.)
\_ hopefully that idiot has been fired from oracle, and
has taken a $20/hr job at mickeysoft
\_ Should you be fired if you use MS windows, words or excel?
This is PROGRAMMING, you numnut. If you are using
a M$ product for programming, in an environment that
usually requires high reliability, etc. then you
should be fired. Even if the product itself does not
directly make things crash, a penchant for using M$ tools
is a bias that should be purged as quickly as possible.
\_ I worked at oracle for 3 months (internship) and
all the dev tools *are* standard! we used only gmake
and gcc, or g++ whenever available, or the cc ov that
specific *nix. go to hell VC for unix dev???
\_ you sound quite familiar with product bias
\_ Oracle doesn't fire people.
\_ Pride in work is kind of unimportant there, and morale isn't
exactly high either, at least in the front- and back-office
Apps divisions. (yeah I was a tech writer there, but I'm
talking about the developers) --goetz
\_ Back office market is drying up and Siebel is kicking the
shit out of Oracle in th front office, what's to like...
- Siebel Employee
\_ But they have a grrreat in-house email system! -John |
