I hope they are not having a funeral anytime soon…they may be late for it.

:wip:

#188

ha ha the rating went from five stars to 2 on ustream.

#189

Probably they are looking for the cables at this one moment…

#190

Their Core melted down. It’s heading to the center of the Earth as we type. We’re all doomed.

Yep, as I said- the ultimate viral endgame- this crash is a ruse to generate yet more publicity and attention. And when the broadcast actualy begins there will be an autodesk logo in the background to panic the masses.

Hey the NT forum is back up.

Oop never mind it went back down again.

WTF? HardCORE membership? Thats a joke, right?

#194

So it’s Lightwave 10…well…uh…woo!

…and isn’t it a bit cheeky to charge $495 for upgrades to a product which is being superceded within the year?

#195

so what happens as it is streamed, when can we expect it?

I mean, if i miss out on the streamed video, that’s pretty much it,… it is streamed.

they better make it available for download to make sure not too annoy ppl too much.
been waiting 25 days for this, and when it finally happens i might very well miss out on it?

that’s annoying.

make it available for download please.

#196

Thanks for the link Adam. Appreciate it. :slight_smile:

#197

My goodness. Imagine if NT actually had a big user base.

No actually I think their servers were hacked the last second. We are not enough to bring them down.

#198

That seems a little weak. So does this $395 get me the price of admission to upgrade to the next generation? Or just fanclub membership, and I still have to fork over $695 for the upgrade?

Something tells me the eventual video will be no less confusing…

#199

You ever think that they are having a side program based around the core-whatever?

#200

who is in charge of markering department?
