    Not sure I understand this or not, “Time to get public…Blenders dead”

    YIKES? Is that for real or just a joke?

    congratulations guys! though it must be said that game engine performance appears to be down. The rasterizer % seems to be double that of the RC1 for 2.48 – In a scene played in RC 1 Rasterizer reads 40%, in 2.48 Rasterizer reads 80%.

    In the bathroom demo for instance performance is down by 30-40%. Maybe there is some new settings that I dont know about?

    Hey, Blender got a ‘mention’ on national TV here in Australia. My brother was wearing his Blender jumper during one of his TV episodes on Game Design.

    Lol. That’s funny.

    Seriously though guys, don’t you have backup somewhere else if the server running SVN dies on you? Revert works alright for little things like this, but what happens when a fire breaks out and burns through the server and all the backups? :P

    This reminds me of the feeling when I found out Santa Claus doesn’t exist. :-)

    Thanks for 2.48!
