Please Review Multiplayer Browser Games such as

1] Quake Live - Multiplayer FPS
2] Evony.com - Empire Building Strategy
3] eRepublik - Global Strategy Game

eRepublik has been reviewed around the world by many magazines & newspapers like Newyork Times. eIndia (India in eRepublik) needs more Indians to be active. Indian states have been occupied by countries like Iran and indonesia.

Here's eIndia MAP : *www.erepublik.com/en/map/India

Yes, they (MS) are indeed!

I already have the keys for both the 64-bit version and the 32-bit version, but only the 32-bit installation image.

I have been using the 32-bit version for a couple of months, first on my old Pentium-IV 2.8 GHz PC and now on my new PC. I like it a lot, but the greatest gripe is lack of full support to my old HP DJ printer and SJ scanner. Nero 7 Ultra is also not working. As for the rest, so far so good.

2. iPod tut. (Just can't seem to get the pictures working.)
3. I would like a good free game level editor which I could use mainly for architectural building / landscape presentation, you know, one where I could go down in detail to at least about 1 cm, huge poly-counts, etc. Quake and many other game editors I've come across manage down to about 2in (5cm) which is not good enough.

One more thing videos covering entire webinar including question answer section should be given.

Demo gives us a fair idea about gameplay of those commercial though great games :p

So we can decide if we want to go for a commercial game or not coz once you buy it there's no way to go back. So demo is really important.

As for free games I also play small free games a lot and I reall like them. Games like Trilby, Super-Mario, Cave story etc. are a great fun to play. :p

I have noticed that most free large games of FPS, strategy, MMORPG, etc genre are basically multi-player games to be used in a networked environment or the internet and that these free games are basically the clients.

I would like to see a free large game which is single-player FPS / strategy type with a long storyline like in Doom, Quake, Half-life, Call of Duty, etc.

Give us mac4lin, ubuntu look for xp, and themes of the like. In case of mac4lin, we would also like a tutorial for uninstallation.

I ad demanded for a tutorial of QuarkXPress, is there any progress on that? The good news is that I learnt the software on my own through trial and error and I'm very willing to help or write a tutorial, if you guys are interested. :)
Anorion
Anorion #53
Oct 1, 2009 at 11:54 AM
^^Not the individual contents of the sections, but the sections themselves... say something like kids, or developer tools, or web design tools - considering hobbies (Chess enthusiasts have been asking for chess related software for some time now)

^The tutorials usually accompany the theme of the magazine. Great that you already learnt - t&e is the best way to learn these things. But the possibilities are endless, and nifty little features are hidden in improbable places.
Krow

Oct 1, 2009 at 4:17 PM
I agree in the sense that one can never stop learning softwares. I know some ppl who have been working on Photoshop for 12 years and don't even use the toolbar (all kbd shortcuts) and even they say that they are still learning the software. :)

About the sections :

Bloggers page and travel page. Travel where people could get their travelogues published as anyway Digit has ads of travel products and has carried features on what to carry on a travel (gadgets).

Also, one page could be dedicated to a sci-fi story written by readers.

Photography could be given some space in the mag. Some tutorials and guides and how to choose the right lens/camera/accessories.

Open Source section is mandatory IMO as now anyway you guys are considering giving DVD distros. I believe that more space should be given to it every month. I am a big fan of your Open Source issue and I believe that it should be given more importance that merely a sub-section in toolbox.

I like the DIY section, could case-modding be included in it? As in, how to mod a mid-tower case to fit in a bulky cooler like the TRUE 120?

OFFTOPIC: One last request, could admins post regularly here? Anorion, you posted here and this motivated me to make such a long post already. If you guys appear more on the forum and join in some discussions here and there, many more people will join in. This is the only forum where Ive seen admins with such a low post count. Please do appear regularly on the forum admins. Please. :)

Oct 2, 2009 at 9:52 PM
I was thinking and I also thought up some more things. Like already the DIY section is there. Can it be pimped up to the extent that Digit readers can do pretty much everything related to computers by themselves. Do you guys get my vision? Every month a new thing can be introduced, with demands from us of course. Whatever we want to do, Digit can teach us. That would be pretty cool, eh? I am of the opinion that Digit readers should be self reliant and many people will look forward to the next DIY.

Anorion #59
Oct 3, 2009 at 10:32 AM
@layzee and Techalomaniac: Intense do it yourself workshops... yeah that's a great idea. The travel idea needs some kind of tech hinge to be seriously considered though. We are however, contemplating cable management as a whole, not just within cabinets. Cable management within cabinets could be covered, but would be theoretical guidelines - as the layout differs from cabinet to cabinet, and the PSU plays a role. However, for general cable management, we can show images, and the different things used to organise and tag cables, and discreetly hide them.
@topgear FT to Gaming is a great idea, but we had it first :p
@pravinbv: Linux drivers coming up, but what applications in Linux tax graphic cards? does anyone here use Linux to such an extent that they need a decent amount of graphics memory? I'm not doubting the OS...
@drsubhadip: we barely give away Linux distros, 64 bit versions are some time coming... and Debian would eat up what two and a half d/l disks... although I have been thinking of Debian Net Edition for sometime.
@vishalgmistry: Comparing gaming consoles would be terribly unfair... I'm guessing... however it might seem like a good idea to educate people about what console they should get depending on their needs. Will note the point down, but such efforts would be derailed if buyer considerations include how suitable it (the console in question) is for certain illegal activities.
