EDIT: Just looking at the darkbasic forum archive that Exeat is hosting. I congradulate Solid Snake for this wonderful comment:
Quote: "This is Snake, whether or not you still look at this post I know not, but I do know one thing. You are underage, and too stupid to know anything. You see I was in the Army. I went to Bosnia, the people there don't care about programming games, they don't care about posts on a forum they are more concerned about simpler things, like: Not stepping on a landmine or walking into crossfire. You. You are the most innane people to grace this web site. What do I do? I succumb to your goddamn post by replying. A mistake on my part because you are to ignorant to recognize when someone wants to help. How did I learn to 3d Studio Max 4, Maya, Bryce, DarkBasic, Visual C++, Dreamweaver, Flash, QB, VB, Poser, Lightwave, Vue E'spirit, world builder, renderman? I read books on them. If you could read then you probably wouldn't mind, but since books are so stupid you decide it would be better to have someone hold your hand and type code for you, that's a job title you know, it's called producer. He's the guy that sits around and demands performance, but you are not a producer. You are small little child who hasn't an inkling about this field. Game development isn't a hobby for me, it's my way of life. I live this s h i t. I will not tolerate a soul on this forum bashing others because they wouldn't hold your dick while you took a piss. Wipe your own goddamn ass and learn your own goddamn skills. Hard work is what gets you to success. Life's not a handout. When you mature and grow up you will understand but for now be content to play with yourself at night, and wonder what a girl's breast feels like. Now go ahead and reply with all of your witty comebacks, wait I'll do it."
