Delphi Man

[WILL]

Borland seems to be trying a rather interesting promotional tactic, Delphi Man. Done laughing? Neither am I. There's Doctor Deadline too. :lol:

You can send in for a draw where you can win prizes and one of 2,000 inflatable Delphi Man and Doctor Dealine characters. :)

Downloadable cutout characters are available online at the promotional site.


For more information or to apply in the draw go to www.delphisuperhero.com ('http://www.delphisuperhero.com/')!

Oh my God! Delphi ís doomed now for sure!! :shock:

[K4Z]

Wow, thats just sad. Borland must be getting desperate.

Lol, I'm going to apply 8)

[JSoftware]

haha nice! :lol:

i would certainly love to see an evil hero name c++ :wink:

Delphi Man, the greatest hero of them all!!

[Eriken]

I think it should be. "Delphi-Man.. Master of the Universe!"

"By the power of Pascal!"

And if you don't know what the reference is, it's ok.. :P Back to lurking!

[Robert Kosek]

Good grief... how low can you go? Delphi is going down for sure... :roll:

[Bart]

:shock: They look horrible. They look like "bad guys" from an outdated comic strip.

[LP]

Ok, go to www.borland.com, search for "delphi super hero": no results found. Search again for "delphi man": unrelated results. No offense, but this looks like an unreferenced bull$h1t :?

[BlueCat]

No it's definitely not unreferenced BS, it's official BS

Go to www.borland.com/superhero

O :shock: M :shock: G :shock: it's real :? :? :?

[LP]

Dammit! This sucks! :evil:

[Eriken]

yeah, it's official, I got a mail from Borland about it as well in a "Small Team Pack"-offer.. hehe..

True... so really scaringly.. true..

Tell me where to sign! Don't care what you guys say of Delphi or Borland, my bedroom wouldn't be complete without one.

Next time someone tells you that you can't make games with Delphi, tell them you won an inflatable 'Delphi Man' superhero when you upgraded. They won't argue with that :wink:

[BlueCat]

Don't worry about Doctor Deadline..... 'FPC Man' will destroy his evil completion dates with his super Programmer Art Ray power.

I'd like to see Delphi Man do that on more than one platform :spidey:

[Robert Kosek]

LOL. I neve doubted this was official... it was certainly dumb enough for it! :P And, well, Micro$haft is the "owner"...

[JSoftware]

:lol:

aww.. don't make fun of poor Delphi Man! :cry:

[WILL]

So what does this make the PP Compiler hero? PP Boy? :lol:

[Sly]

It's just Borland playing follow the leader... yet again. Microsoft's recent advertising campaign for Meltdown 2005 featured many superheroes drawn in the comic book style.

The only new thing coming out of Borland these days is new depths for horrible IDEs.

[Paulius]

A superhero mascot might be strange, but trying to be less serious sometimes is not a bad thing.

[BlueCat]

I couldn't agree more, although I usually have to try to be more serious :cat:

[Traveler]

hehe, nice one Paulius! :D

[WILL]

:lol: I knew that this one wouldn't be left alone. :)
