    From I've heard this game is mostly... boring. Same shit over and over again.
    Have you tried RER2 yet, Ed123 ? If not - you should.

    I'm waiting for a sale. I heard that it ran pretty badly, though?

    Nah, the performance was fixed with one of the patches. Runs fine on my mid-range rig.

    What are your specs? I have a lappy with an 880M and an i7 4800MQ, which is roughly the same as a desktop 570 (and outperforms it sometimes due to 8gb vram, usually in engines that eat up vram like idTech).

    Not sure if these people just googled the name, seen pictures of cute dolphins and decided the name for their software.
    How do you miss the fact that there already is a software called dolphin?
    From what I can tell, this can only mean two things;

    1. They are noobs that cba to google things properly.
    2. One can now argue that re-using existing names for one's software is acceptable and name his stuff Windows Explorer or whatever.

    At first I thought they might be Chinese, but I figured the Chinese would name it dulphin or other, similar variation.
    I've concluded they're just incapable of performing a simple web search, which is a common perk among developers these days.

    I can tell you're new here.

    It's called Dolphin because Dolphin was the code name for the GameCube project before it was named GameCube. Dolphin used to be a GameCube emulator.

    Seriously, your post is pretty dumb. I guess you're a noob that cba to google things properly.

    Edit: this is the part where you pretend you were trolling to save face.

    Right. Maybe it's just me, but "The page "Dolphin OS" does not exist."
    And the file manager predates the emulator. Does this mean I can name my program Windows Explorer?

    There was nothing before 2008 and file manager was available in 2006.
    What if I relese the src of "windows explorer" (the media player) and claim it was called like that for 38 years.
    Yes indeed, the hidden src of my binary blob had the name for so long, but I never relesed it and evil micro$oft has stolen the name.
    Or something like that. On a different note, is Trolltech a fitting name for a startup company?
    Since the old one is discontinued, perhaps the name is now available?
