Which OS-Tan Are You?

[Red-Machine]

I found a new one!

Oh, and I got:



You are Windows 98. You are the second oldest of the windows girls. You’re neither beloved nor despised, but many people still use you. You also have a box you keep with you at all times, for reasons known only to you.

[Smokey]

AHA!!!! 98 is the THIRD oldest (not counting windows 1 and 2)!!!!!!!!

also


You are Windows 2000 Professional Edition. You are the most stable and reliable of all the Windows girls. Of course, since your main comparison is with ME, that’s not saying much. You’re popular with some, but you’re being replaced with XP. You often help take care of your sister ME.

wauwf! :3


You are Longhorn, the unreleased new version of Windows. No one knows much about you. You’re very mysterious, but will you ever be released?

I think it's becoming awfully apparent that the test needs to updated/fact-checked a bit -__-.

[Aurora Borealis]

More like it needs to be updated a lot!

Heheh... I remember back in 2005-2006 when Longhorn/Vista's release date kept getting pushed back and I wanted to bet whether Duke Nukem Forever or Windows Vista would be released first! (BTW, development on Duke Nukem Forever was recently canceled altogether.)

i know i'm mysterious sometimes, but......longhorn? really? :\

[IanDanKilmaster]

Well, yeah, but I was hoping to entice someone by making it sound like less work than it is.

I wanted to bet whether Duke Nukem Forever or Windows Vista would be released first!

For me it was between Nukem and Chinese Democracy, but usually I just stuck with the old joke about there being democracy in China before Chinese Democracy would be released... then I would say "Where's your oxymoron now, Axl?!" XD

(BTW, development on Duke Nukem Forever was recently canceled altogether.)

Really?  Not that surprising, but still, the last time I checked (a day or two ago) it was just shelved again.

i know i'm mysterious sometimes, but......longhorn? really? :\

The result you got was more or less a kind of stock answer that test makers use when they run out of personality traits to associate to a particular result.  Lazy test-making, that's all it is...

[Aurora Borealis]

I've read it from only one source so I'm not completely sure but it's reasonable to assume that Duke Nukem Forever has been canceled altogether because development started in 1997 and gaming has changed a whole lot since then, and it would be very costly and time-consuming to update all of the graphics and gameplay to 2009 standards.

[Chocofreak13]

heh heh. duke nukem. falling techno. xD

From my understanding, 3D Realms had started again on DNF in 2007, so if you look it up, there's actually quite a few screens out there demonstrating DNF is up to current-gen standards (in terms of graphics).  Of course, even if the graphics were up to par, there's the question of gameplay, and even more so than graphics, shooters have improved greatly in gameplay.  In Nukem's absence there have been a slew of new franchises that have brought in major innovations (like GeoMod in Red Faction, Halo's Physics Engine, and the cover system in Gears of War).  Chances are DNF's biggest selling point would the signature crude humor.  Rumors of the games' cancellation have started due to 3D Realms releasing the development team working on the game, but they're insisting they'll still be continuing development of the game (riiiiight).  Take Two Interactive (the parent company of the legendary Rockstar Games) is currently involved in a legal battle with 3D Realms, alleging breach of contract due to the lack of satisfactory progress on the game.

Anyway, that's seriously OT, sorry about that.  Still, who's good at making personality tests?  I mean good, not some simple "I know exactly what answers to fill in to get the result I want" test.

EDIT:  btw anyone else amused by the initialism of Duke Nukem Forever? lol
and I mean the one right under Duke Nukem Forever XD

[NejinOniwa]

I got longhorn'd too. -.-

Is that thing really reliable...?


On that topic, shouldn't we make one of these of our own? Like, official /osc/ quiz or something?

[Smokey]

Okay, yes that test is a bit outdated , single gendered, and very easily manipulated...

Second, such a test here would be a fun idea...

And third, Duke Nukem Forever is Vaporware like S.T.A.L.K.E.R., wich eventually got released and got good reviews...
On the other hand DNF won Wired News' Vaporware Award 8 times, plus Wired made the Vaporware Lifetime Achievement Award exclusively for DNF and obviously awarded it to them...

Also;

After thirteen years in development, 3DRealms halted production of the game after closing on May 6, 2009, and all employees who worked on DNF had been let go.

But isn't this a bit OT?

[theroan]

T_T It's sad because it's true...
