I would, but it's got spyware with it. My web browsing habits are nobody's business, anonymous or not. ------------------ Switch Mayhem now available! Get it here |

To delete Spyware, there is a really neat program called Ad-Aware. go to http://www.download.com and search for Ad-Aware; it's one of their top downloads. the trial is almost fully functional, no time limit, just doesn't catch em' when they come in like the full version; you have to run scans every once-in-a-while. -chickadoo ------------------ |

yeah, it's a fun game. but the spyware pisses me off. I hate spyware, with a fervor unknown to mankind. dude.. I'm playing a game, say, Gunbound, and in the middle, it closes, and a popup ad comes up. now, my computer has narcolepsy.. but result of spyware, malware, or viruses, I don't know. basically, when things start taxing the resources on my comp, it falls asleep, then wakes back up again. really annoying. I have Ad-Aware, and it's good, but stuff still slips by. ------------------ |

With that Zingo thing, Norton or MacAfee ask me if I want to let it (Zingo) connect to the internet. I just tell it no, & zingo can't find the internet connection (or maybe that's because I use DSL or cable  )------------------ |

Why would they bundle spyware in with it. That sux. I would do a silent protest and not download it until they remove the spyware. --D-SIPL ------------------ |

"Why would they bundle spyware in with it. That sux. I would do a silent protest and not download it until they remove the spyware." Lmao do you really think the outrage of a few dozen internet viewers will force them to remove the spyware. If they saw this they'd probably be laughing as hard as I am now. ------------------ |

Be careful when ridiculing moderators - no matter how deeply you feel the occasion calls for it. Their assassins are as ruthless as they are cunning - and trust me, they've got cunning coming out of their wazoo, they have so much of it. |

I don't see why they'd bundle spyware with it either, it's a game that I'd probably have bought eventually. Zango's a pretty easy program to de-activate though, just open up the "Close Program" dialog, then end the Zango proggy. Then when you want to play the game again it asks if you'd like to re-install. Sounds crude but it works.. ------------------ |

Lol, I thought you had a reason to make fun of Canada, but you're simply doing it for the fun. Don't forget to thank your god for the gift of discrimination. The fact remains - a few angry internet users won't matter. Hell, I didn't even read this topic to see what they're angry about. They just won't matter. |

I was picking on Canada because it's what I love to do. sry Mack. and others. but, alot of times, complaints from a few customers do matter. ------------------ |

If you aim to please everyone you'll fail in life. You can't do it. Besides it takes 15 seconds to find a different board and post a link. Sure it might be tagged as spamming but the first few viewers might find it and play it. The point is that you mean nothing to the greater goal. The public as a whole is what they're after I'm guessing. Bashing Canada? So... that's the big trick in the bag you got going? I guess we could begin the American bashing or something else. I've got a big sack full of them, I pass them out like Santa does Christmas presents... oh and by the way, its his birthday soon. ------------------ |

Zango is bundled with DvG because FAS was bought out by 180Solutions. Compare http://games.zango.com with http://www.fullarmorstudios.com/ and see if you can spot the (sad) differences. If that isn't clear to you, check out the press release on this business arrangement here: http://www.fullarmorstudios.com/news/180solutionsAcquiresFullArmorStudios.pdf My personal attitude is littered with mixed emotions on this situation, so I'll leave it for you to make your own decisions.

I've had many discussions with the CEO of Full Armor (Kendall). I told him how i felt about the situation and he respected that. It's a big shame they went down they root. They had a lot of support from this community, which may have now been tarnished. If at the least, we don't buy the products it's still less money in their hands, which is worth it. I believe in making christian games for moral, educational and also entertaining value, but don't believe in spying on those that use your product, thats just cheap. --D-SIPL ------------------ |
