Re:Old Battlefield games re-killed after EA’s legal warning

I found Squad and Planetside 2 to be great heirs to the Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142 legacy.
Amazing how Planetside 2 being a free game manages to outclass pretty much any combined arms FPS and is still looking really good visually for 2012 release.

So morning star would be the weapon of choice there I suppose. Sword may win "by points" but with morning star you'd have a solid chance of actually neutralizing opponent.
Re:Using Google without a Google+ profile

"When we launched Google+, we set out to help people discover, share and connect across Google like they do in real life. "
Why can't they for once be honest and say something like: "We wanted to get on the social network train, it did not work out".
Just without these corporate lies about "connecting people"
Ask HN: Raising capital when under NDA regarding business agreements?
So our company is raising capital and some of the strong points are our B2B contracts. All these contracts are under NDA, but as business achievements they belong in the pitch. I cannot expect VCs to neither honor verbal confidentiality agreements nor sign NDAs.What is the industry standard about talking about NDA-ed contracts when pitching to VCs then?"We have a contract with company we cannot...
Ask HN: How to behave during casual VC pitches? Any non on-stage examples?
Hi, I understand the pitch deck - 10 slides etc. I feel however that when I pitch it makes an impression of a one-man stand-up show (not comedy hopefully ha). That's obviously because presentation is rehearsed over and over 1000 times. All the examples are about people pitching on-stage. That's one thing. I wonder if there is a good example of people pitching casually in a more office room type...

Thank you, that actually may be one of the reasons.
But I met the milestone! With sweat and blood, many good people died as we were reaching that stone.

Thank you! This part about "round closing NOW" always puzzled me. I understand there is a tradition to set deadlines like that - "raising NNN by YY", but what if the deadline comes and I don't have 100% of my round in? I set a new deadline?
Ask HN: Can I tell investors, who procrastinate I need money NOW?
I have a couple investors who said they want to invest and will send term-sheet. Now it drags for a couple months and really got to the point that their procrastination is hurting the company. Is it ok to tell them we need money NOW because burn-rate etc.? How else can I enforce a deadline for investment?
