the friday five, better late than never

• What’s your favorite animal? Cats or Rabbits
• What pets have you had in your lifetime? Goldfish, won at a fair but they quickly died when I forgot the declor. Rabbits, hundreds or it felt like at the time.
• Is there any specific pet that you’ve wanted but never had? A Cat, but there are lots of reasons why I have never got one. Maybe I’m just not a pet person.
• Are you allergic to any animals? Well I am alergic to pet poo. Nothing like haveing to shovel rabbit shit to really get an aversion to pet poo.
• Do you have any ‘pet’ pet peeves (your pets or others’)? Dogs. I have just never really felt comfortable around them. Probably goes back to getting chased by lots of them while young. Oh, and those that don’t clean up their pets poo.

The Omni Group: Game Ports: Giants: Citizen Kabuto

Release Notes

• This is the only version of Giants that can use multiple processors. We actually added multi-processing support while we were doing the port, as well as doing various optimizations on the graphics routines (and changing the graphics library from Direct3D to OpenGL). The end result is we’re getting the same framerates on our Macintosh dual 500 MHz G4s with a GeForce 2 on an AGP 2x bus as we do on a brand-new, top of the line Wintel AMD 1.3 GHz Ahtlon with a GeForce 3 on an AGP 4x bus and DDR RAM.
• This is the first major game to be Mac OS X only. There are no plans to do a Mac OS 9 version of Giants.
