Also the "new" 3D isn't new. It's just a new image format to make the the game smaller. Not seeing anything different means it's working as intended.

Maybe Markus could just come out and say it then. "We have done a market analysis and determined that the segment of the buying population is not worth us putting 3D players into the game, so get lost."

Yeah, the boss possibly playing the game is a big concern.

Wow! How does that response even fit this thread?

Hmmm, let me give this a try................No, I assume there aren't as many responses as there should because a certain segment of the OOTP fanbase doesn't consume enough fiber in their diets. Like a mom in a sock store they just keep buying more socks when they know they should be purchasing more bran, nuts and Fiber One bars for the family. But, no they worry that more fiber means more time in the bathroom, higher water bills and less time to buy socks. Yeah the boss playing the game is a big concern

Toast.

Ah it's a forum so I guess we never know what direction it will go. I just found it odd that a discussion about playing at work turned into a rant about this massive anti 3D clan that has been formed to save the game and its creators.

Will you tell your shortstop, pictured above, to stop eating all the damn pizza, Westie? Thanks, pal.

Better than the pilots, I guess...

Although, I guess if we hear about a plane grounding out to short, I guess we know where to look...

I play at work all the time!! It's called TeamViewer.

You can thank me later.

Yes, TeamViewer, set up properly, would give easy access to play a game on the home machine from work.

That's honestly one of the best suggestions I've seen on the forums in a very long time, thank you for posting it.

[r0nster]

interesting idea but wouldn't that be hard to do since you would need somebody to enter the codes at other end ??? Sorry for my ignorance on the team viewer bit.

Not dumb at all.

Just install TeamViewer on your home PC and your work PC assuming you have one. Create a log in and sign in with both computers. As long as your Home PC is on at all times you will have access to it from your work computer. It's seriously the greatest thing.

I'm playing right now as we speak with Teamviewer.

TeamViewer gives you the ability to control your computer from anywhere that has TeamViewer installed.

[jaysdailydose]

Yeah, r0nster, Teamviewer was initially created as a way for tech support to have full access to your computer in order to solve problems... it has evolved and people have found tons of different uses for it. It's a low-resources program, too.

It's just like he says, as long as you leave your home CPU running with Teamviewer, you'd be able to play from any other CPU you have TeamViewer on.

[r0nster]

interesting to say the least and right now I am playing the game and on here at office using HOTspot. One of them rare days I stay at office instead of driving around repairing machines.

[Aceshigh24]

It's pretty amazing to say the least. You also have the ability to transfer files from one computer to another which can come in handy too.

Here is a picture of what it looks like signed in from my work computer. As you can see it looks just like it would from my actual computer at home.

[r0nster]

that be nice to transfer files so that way you would have it on work PC so if something should crash you be safe .... nice move.

I work for MLB, so of course I play it at work. It's work related.

How many more man hours of workplace productivity will be lost as other OOTP addicts discover this..........We may thank you, our employers....not so much
