YOU TWAT, I WAS JUST KIDDING

However much your logic made sense, that's not what Compuware is doing...they're always on top of embracing new technology (look at glenn's new mac today)... and btw, Changepoint has already been COMPLETELY rewritten into WPF/Silverlight from its ASP.NET despite it "working-as-is"...soooo ...

NEITHER is a promising way to go based on your game description..why would you want to save ANY type of realtime data if they're gonna be updated again on the next frame..it'll be much better if you save this information in in-memory data structures and THEN stream-save the data every minute or so (...

i think my bandwidth just blew up

TELL THE COMPANY THEY'RE TOO OLDSCHOOL!!! >:|

lol tbh, i would go WPF/Silverlight (Silverlight is a subset of WPF strictly for the web..but you can also use WPF in the web browser directly). WPF/Silverlight supports media much better (3D for instance), than ASP.NET

wat

same thing

what its like 1.5 paychecks
