Yeah, I know. I believe it even has a great command line interface.

I thought it was funny because it asserted the ridiculous notion that ANYONE uses WinZip as opposed to WinRAR.

EDIT: Haha, never read a post, decide what your reply is, and then come back to reply hours later without checking to see if the thread went anywhere in your absence.

I'll redeem myself by sharing this funny article.

7zip is like the first utility I install on a new machine.

SilentScreams · 10-30-2012, 10:32 AM

I can't say that I've ever cared enough to download a new zip program. I've always just used Winzip and I can't recall having any problems with it.

J Arcane · 10-30-2012, 10:33 AM

I don't understand why anyone would even use WinZIP at all. ZIP support has been built into Windows since like 98SE.

WinRAR or 7z sure, because those formats aren't built in, but WinZIP doesn't read any of those.

I personally leave Windows built in functionality as the default, but when I need some more power for my archiving, 7zip is just right.

Not sure where to post this -- kinda surprised it hasn't made the rounds in industry blogs, just for the quick laugh.

Enjoy:

I watched it happened when it aired, and I lost...

SilentScreams · 10-30-2012, 12:45 PM

I wouldn't have gotten that right either.

i cant turn on sound since im in class but what was the answer i have no clue

Vandabo · 10-30-2012, 01:05 PM

I guessed it, but it took me most of the time. I was running through major non-mobile games first. I don't think average people really think of cell phone games as "video games". I could be totally wrong there, as that is just based off people I've talked to.

Angry Birds.

PathMaster · 10-30-2012, 01:06 PM

Angry Birds. I guessed it when I read swine.

Xerxes · 10-30-2012, 01:08 PM

I would have gotten it but I would have been guessing in ways. I thought birds just hate pigs. <shrug>

Matthias · 10-30-2012, 06:10 PM

I was actually thinking minecraft, based on the fact that creepers sprouted from a screwed up pig model, and they're green...

Thanks to this thread I went to uninstall WinZip...and then I realized it's already gone. When the heck did I do that?

Sheesh, I am getting old.

Eh, I guessed it right away. The enemies are pigs, so it makes sense. I can't think of any other game in which pigs are the main opposition other than Duke Nukem.

Those three answers made me laugh though.

This and the answers made me laugh.

Skyrim made me lose it, however.
