The problem with hype is that it often leads to disappointment.

Good luck!

Well I hope it's more then what I think it is....

Either way, MC10 was WELL WORTH the upgrade. It is so umbelievably fast and stable now,

Thanks for all the work.

Because here in Holland we are 7 hours later (10.45 pm here now) I'll have to stay up late. Yawn, Yawn. Hope ( and count on it a little) that it is worth it.

i think it maybe better support of .aac files, fixing auto-sizing problem
(giving the users a choice in columns width), and an all new cd/dvd burning engine.   lucky guess!!! ;D

Out of all the things that could be added (PLS bookmarking, MP3Pro support, etc. etc.), this is what you chose to go with?

can i start reporting pong bugs?

the bottom of the screen is below what is actually visible. darn mc kicks my ass by bouncing off the hidden lower part of the screen so i dont know where the ball will pop up again ... is this a bug or by design - so MC always reigns suppreme?

EDIT:

What about 2 player mode, 2nd player uses p and l keys???

Seems much neater than 9.1.

However, it is beatable at pong.

And give us a break guys.

Do you guys have any idea how involved it is to write a 3D physics engine?

3D Asteroids should be a lot easier now though.

No, but the engine is really only a 2D engine.  The 'paddles' only move up & down, and the ball only moves in one plane.  The only 3D anything is the spinning of the 'paddles'.

But, that's neither here, nor there.  What is important is, how many points do I need to score to win?

I'm currently ahead 28 to 0.  How much abuse can MC take? ;D

Paddles that moved in three dimensions failed usability testing.

hey that doesnt count. mc's score gets reset after every song, while the player's score only gets reset when its a new artist.

Right time to dig around for tubular bells - at 26 mins that will yield a fair game...
