[15:22] Ever play Crusader, CFF? [15:22] Walking Wounded is my favourite episode, I'm just watching it. [15:22] asking about other games with a large fan base well Freelancer has a fairly large & loyal following [15:23] Not really. Tried a friends version, but didn't catch me. maybe played 30 mins, not more [15:23] true there are no chat rooms taht i know of but the MOD community is quite alive & active [15:23] You miss something, CFF. :-P [15:23] I like Chain of Command [15:23] * test1234 (JavaUser@217.188.245.66) has joined #wingnut [15:23] anyone know when the door prizes are handed out? [15:23] Too bad Freelancer got boring after the story. [15:23] Crusader was alright. WCA was great [15:23] Oh yeah, Bergstrom is pretty much the only brass bitchier than Tolwyn. [15:23] once the party starts, Louis [15:24] <^Death_> Ten minutes are added onto the hand-out time every time someone asks. :P [15:24] Hal, you're on my side. [15:24] No [15:24] :) [15:24] Heh.

[15:26] all im really lookin forwould to is the new standoff episode [15:26] FL online is fun especially MODed & terh are plenty of servers lots in eurpoe [15:26] So am I. [15:26] Hehe - Lets gang up Europeans. We'll ask about prices until they are delayed so far that we can go to sleep and get them tomorrow morning ;-) [15:26] lol [15:26] when? [15:27] I wish I could have been a Standoff beta tester. [15:27] me too [15:27] anyone know if the SO high-res patch affects Standoff or UE? [15:27] It's built in [15:27] oh, that's nice [15:28] I could use some help geting the simulator to work, though [15:28] in fact a lot of the MODs work in SP which can really change the way to play the game [15:29] & if you do not want to go online nor play story many even remove storyline completely [15:29] Don't overestimate the fun of betatesting [15:29] * BrynS (bryninpont@cpc2-tref1-4-1-cust65.cdif.cable.ntl.com) has joined #wingnut [15:29] You have betatesting experience? [15:29] hey Shades, if you're reading this, Kris needs to talk to you [15:30] Somewhat. And well in this case I am one of the two testers of Standoff... [15:30] * spiritplumber (JavaUser@cpe-66-25-78-34.satx.res.rr.com) has joined #wingnut [15:30] I see. [15:30] Lots of bugs? [15:30] hola ^_^; [15:30] hi [15:30] Less then I expected for most parts [15:31] Some really nasty ones tho [15:31] I was doing my own bit of testing of the beta yesterday and today... I didn't come accross any bugs as I was going through it... I think its pertty clean at this point [15:31] Helloaf all [15:31] Yoaf. [15:31] hi LOAF, two-leggeed lexicon of anything about WC. [15:31] Ok, Im back [15:31] I sure hope so, Needaham [15:31] * Hal2 (Halman@209-240-240-177.ips.cpinternet.com) has joined #wingnut [15:31] * ChrisReid sets mode: +o Hal2 [15:32] Oh good, LOAF's here [15:32] * Halman (Halman@209-240-240-178.ips.cpinternet.com) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [15:32] Hurrah [15:32] * Hal2 is now known as Halman [15:32] I need your vast Lilo & Stitch watching experience to help me determine what island Lilo lives onn [15:32] mururoa? [15:32] Oahu? [15:33] No, because they don't live on an island with major cities [15:33] Oh [15:33] Hrm [15:33] I didn't have to learn the names of any of the others. [15:34] Wikipedia claims it's Kauai, but we all know about its accuracy [15:35] I learned so the hard way. [15:35] howdy folks [15:35] Hey. [15:35] Oh [15:35] hey there [15:35] Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's Kauai. [15:35] hiyo [15:36] hows everyone doin? [15:36] You live in Boston now, you should be learning Boston trivia [15:36] For instance, the TV show Boston Public was set in Boston [15:36] A bit of slow-mo, but fine otherwise. [15:36] Don't admit that around Sonic the Hedgehog, he'd taunt you mercilessly. [15:36] The only reason I'm asking is because I got in an argument with a girl obsessed with Hawaii and ninjas [15:37] Sonic can deal with his eggheads enemies instead of bothering me. [15:37] That seems to suggest that she be madly in love with me, which sadly isn't the case [15:37] Well, http://www.abcmedianet.com/showpage/showpage.html?program_id=001437&type=lead [15:38] There's ABC's official blurb, which mentions said island [15:38] now i want to see a sonic vs. stitch deathmatch. :D [15:38] * Needaham (Needaham@pcp09161472pcs.verona01.nj.comcast.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [15:38] http://www.penisland.net/ [15:39] Pen Island?

[15:39] t [15:40] "Bush Signs Pork-Laden Legistlation" [15:40] Mmm! The best kind! [15:40] * BradMick (brad.mick.@68-185-139-182.dhcp.jcsn.tn.charter.com) Quit (Ping timeout) [15:40] yummy [15:41] As I say, once we invent Ham Soda, Burger King can offer the perfect three animal meal [15:41] Does Burger King still sell those Cherry Coke Slushies? [15:41] Eww [15:41] Ham Soda... [15:41] Yeah, eww, slushies, lets talk about the ham soda some more. [15:42] Hehehehe [15:42] after reading fast food nation, I can say you don't want to go near fast food [15:42] Crab Juice or Mountain Dew? [15:42] Crab Juice [15:42] Yes I do. [15:42] eww. i'll take the crab juice [15:42] You mean, three animal trash meal? [15:42] Crabhammer Juice [15:42] chicken fries, hamburger, ham soda [15:42] Whatever doesnt kill me makes me stronger. And Ive eaten a lot of fast food in my day [15:42] Technically you could have a bacon cheeseburger and the chicken fries [15:43] But it's not perfectly balanced. [15:43] Would milk work? [15:43] you ask me, Burger king is one of the better of the fast food resturants... better than Toxic Hell... err... Taco Bell [15:43] if you can identify 10% its probably eatable [15:43] Perhaps we should just put some offal in a glass [15:43] * CasperXJ (CasperXJ@c-24-0-107-63.hsd1.tx.comcast.net) has left #wingnut [15:43] I OD'd on Burger King during their Pokemon promotion, I haven't been able to really enjoy their food since. [15:43] * Kido (h@190-191.cableamos.com) has joined #wingnut [15:43] Everytime I eat at Burger King I get sick:( [15:43] You had to eat like ten Kids Meals a day to get all the Pokemon, but I managed it. [15:43] lol [15:44] Taco Bell is good if you go further south. Its crap up here in the NE [15:44] haha... fair enough... too much Burger King could deffinitely do that [15:44] * spiritplumber (JavaUser@cpe-66-25-78-34.satx.res.rr.com) Quit (Quit: wcnews.com) [15:44] * CasperXJ (CasperXJ@c-24-0-107-63.hsd1.tx.comcast.net) has joined #wingnut [15:44] does anyone have the Indiana jones and the last crusade game (The adventure game, not the action game)? [15:44] It's fun how nobody knows what Jack in the Box is here [15:44] anyone here from the uk [15:44] I'm in NJ... not really NE, but still pretty crappy [15:44] Taco Bell is really good in Iowa. [15:44] * spiritplumber (JavaUser@cpe-66-25-78-34.satx.res.rr.com) has joined #wingnut [15:44] I don't think there was a Last Crusade action game [15:44] I like Taco Bell on occasion, the quality of its food is kind of all over the map. [15:44] Fatcat: No, but I was looking at it on MobyGames just last night [15:44] Yeah, there was a Last Crusade action game, I think [15:44] * Kido is now known as PopsiclePete [15:44] I had the adventure game, it's probably in a box somewhere [15:44] is that the game that was released circa 2000? [15:44] For a console I think [15:44] no [15:45] Hi GUys ! [15:45] hey pete [15:45] Hey! [15:45] Hi. [15:45] hey pete [15:45] hey [15:45] Perhaps hes thinking of Fate Of Atlantis [15:45] hi [15:45] you're thinking of Indiana Jones versus the Soviet Union, aka Infernal Machine [15:45] no last-hour fix to do? ^^ [15:45] Whoa, hey Pete! [15:45] Yeah. [15:45] And hello, Pete [15:45] (Who's Pete?) [15:45] How was "...Infernal Machine" anyway [15:45] For the first time in years I am gonna be able to attend -- in time ! :) [15:45] He's a popsicle, obviously. [15:45] Hehehe [15:46] * Jedi_Ranger (Jedi_Range@S010600055df3ea7d.cn.shawcable.net) has joined #Wingnut [15:46] was it vs the Soviets? I thought it was vs the Nazis [15:46] * Nagash (Nagash@p5085E286.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #wingnut [15:46] so did i [15:46] Hehe. [15:46] or was that adlantice [15:46] hehehehehe. [15:46] nope pretty sure it was australians [15:46] maybe austrians [15:46] haha [15:47] Hehe, it was the landed gentry of victorian england. [15:47] * Nagash (Nagash@p5085E286.dip.t-dialin.net) Quit (Quit: wcnews.com) [15:47] Cilian Murphy reminds me of ace. [15:48] brynS, it was the nazis [15:48] thought so [15:48] A super creepy version of ace, maybe. [15:48] The game takes place in 1947, when World War II has ended and the Nazis are finished. But as the Cold War begins, so does a new challenge for the esteemed archaeologist. It seems the Soviets have uncovered a mystery in a dig site near the ancient city of Babylon. [15:49] * spiritplumber (JavaUser@cpe-66-25-78-34.satx.res.rr.com) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [15:49] I gotta go renew my passport, so it looks like I'm gonna be missing the kickoff of the party, but I'll be back in a bit [15:49] * PopsiclePete is now known as PopsiclePete_alpha_testing_Sta [15:49] poser [15:49] I thought it was in Beta:( [15:49] they had alpha testers? [15:50] bah [15:50] ok, I haven't played it, but I can recall reading about in PC Gamer [15:50] pete's on the team... probably checking the final files [15:50] * Wedge009 (Wedge009@183.a.007.syd.iprimus.net.au) has joined #wingnut [15:50] * ChrisReid sets mode: +v Wedge009 [15:50] hello wedge [15:50] I wish I knew who Pete was.

[15:50] Heya [15:50] bah, nicj limit [15:50] Hey Wedge [15:50] hi wedge [15:50] jumped to ella sector [15:50] Hey, Wedge. [15:50] Hi. [15:50] * PopsiclePete_testing_internet_ is now known as PopsiclePete [15:51] hi [15:51] * spiritplumber (JavaUser@cpe-66-25-78-34.satx.res.rr.com) has joined #wingnut [15:51] Hello everyone. :) [15:51] I'll have to use a mouse to play Standoff. I wonder if I'll fare better [15:51] ello! [15:51] hi [15:51] Why a mouse? [15:51] I always played Prophecy and mods with mouse. [15:51] 'ello [15:51] greetings everyone [15:51] I have 2k, I don't think I can play Standoff [15:51] Not any of the other WC games though [15:51] I think i'll use keyboard. [15:51] If you watch the SO trailer it looks like they used a mouse to make it [15:51] oh [15:51] I hope they aren't making it as awkward as WC2 keyboard controls. [15:52] yeah [15:52] they were weird [15:52] Halman: I'm using WCSO on XP, I bet it'll work on 2k [15:52] WC2 wasn't too bad. [15:52] sadly. i've never played it x.x [15:52] Where do I download the SO stuff then? [15:52] I'm not complaining about WC2 generally. [15:52] In fact, I liked it a lot. [15:52] CIC? [15:52] the best wc game i think so far was wc4 tho [15:52] Oh, there it is. [15:52] 110 megs. :o [15:52] <^Death_> No, WCSO doesn't play nice at all on 2K [15:53] My favorite is the original. [15:53] <^Death_> WCP isn't too cooperative, either [15:53] http://standoff.solsector.net/ [15:53] Death, is it possible to make it work? [15:53] i think the the story line for 4 was the best [15:53] Death... finds... a way. [15:53] hmm, does 2k not have the compatibility mode [15:53] How far does the Win2K patch go in helping? [15:53] I liked SM2 [15:54] I don't think turning Tolwyn into Hitler II was right. [15:54] yeah [15:54] I didn't like WC4's story as much. Too focused on Blair being the big hero. I liked it when you were part of a big war. [15:54] and back to the nazis [15:54] As you said in that InfoBurst interview, LOAF. [15:54] They can turn him into whatever, it's what he did that's (arguably) not right. [15:54] Thats what I really liked about SM2 [15:54] I agree LAzy..I liked the Tolwyn character alot [15:54] <^Death_> I never got the 2K compatability mode thingy to work that well with much of anything, personally. [15:55] I don't remember what I said in the infoburst, I did it like seven years and a week ago. [15:55] Know what I haven't had in a while? Big Leauge Chew [15:55] Hehe. [15:55] I think Seether was behind it all. [15:55] Everyone always says WC4 is their favorite game... I wasn't really moved by it. [15:55] who was responsible for Tolwyn's WC4 characterisation? Robert's or the story/script writers? [15:55] Not everyone. [15:55] Seether is pretty much New Age Himmler. [15:55] Alot do. [15:55] Borst/DePalma [15:55] IMO [15:55] I personally prefer WC2. [15:55] Chris Roberts just directed it [15:55] maybe compatibility mode works better in XP [15:55] cheers Loaf [15:56] WC4 was an amazing achievement at the time [15:56] WC1 & 3 for me. [15:56] WC4 was just a really exciting time... [15:56] It would have mad a great movie [15:56] Heck, they were all great. [15:56] I would understand now if I had gotten it back then, oh well. [15:56] <^Death_> WCP/SO does work in XP (though to install you need to be in an admin account, IIRC... definitely for SO, possibly for WCP) [15:56] I don't think it holds up as great science fiction as well, but it was a really really amazing time, and it lead to all kinds of great stuff like the cartoon. [15:56] Wasn't there something making some WC4 gaming movies? [15:56] I wish they would have taken some of the novels and made movies from them. [15:56] i don't know who came up with the Dragon. that fighter was unstoppable [15:56] I just watched an edited version of WC4 (only the cutscenes)... I can't think of a movie that is able to match that.. [15:56] Unless a missile gets you. [15:56] WCP and SO need Win95 compatibility mode set in XP, and that's about it, AFAIK. [15:57] I guess I'll give it a shot. [15:57] Those things are overpowered [15:57] even then [15:57] I'm not really doing anything else. [15:57] yeah [15:57] Monsterfurby - where did u get that file? [15:57] but the fission cannons were underpowered [15:57] You're sewing pretty dresses [15:57] LOve those Dragons [15:57] Hehehehe [15:57] :L( [15:57] * t-c-cgi (dude@pcp05121916pcs.lehgha01.fl.comcast.net) has joined #wingnut [15:57] :( [15:57] <^Death_> I run WCP fine without compatibility mode set up, personally (XP SP2) [15:57] Yeah, I was unimpressed by the weapons WCIV added generally. [15:57] the cloaking made them too powerful [15:57] * majorstriker (daniel.goo@12-216-176-97.client.mchsi.com) has joined #Wingnut [15:57] * ChrisReid sets mode: +v majorstriker [15:57] @Monsterfurby: is that you're own compilation of one of AD's test files? [15:57] blowing up the vesuvius was easy [15:57] Hmm, dunno about XP SP2, Death. [15:58] I have 2k SP4 [15:58] Wow...lotsa people [15:58] The flashpak didn't feel special, the fission cannon seemed clumsy and cloaking is a lot more fun to fight than it is toa ctually do. [15:58] only so+mods need compability for xp and i use 98 [15:58] Yeah, and pretty much everything else. [15:58] I liked using a Bearcat to take out the Vesuvius [15:58] The WC4 demo was a really cool thing [15:58] Then again, my brother managed to play it with out my help on a new XP SP2 installation, so you're probably right. [15:58] I thought Armada did cloaking very well, tying it to the gun capacitor [15:58] A stealth fighter wouldn't have been bad, but not one with overpowered stuff too. [15:58] So you had kind of a limited cloaking period that you had to act in [15:58] yeah a friend merged the movie files of the game into one large one [15:58] Instead of just suddenly disappearing from battle [15:58] <^Death_> I did SP2 from a blank hard drive, didn't try to install it after patching everything else up [15:58] I dunno...it didn't last long enough to be effective in Armada [15:58] neat idea though [15:58] the one-shot cloak was a better idea [15:59] The flashpak wasn't special? Oh, come on, what's not special about a weapon that can kill a transport with one hit... oh, right :P. [15:59] Ditto, Death. [15:59] Yeah, WCIV had a good demo [15:59] I always use Pliers' cloak in the steal Bearcats mission. [15:59] I liked the alternate weapons [15:59] The CD version came with Crusader: No Remorse. [15:59] The one where you had to defend a transport from pirates, LOAF? [15:59] Helps in 1 vs 4 combat and slipping past the buoy. [15:59] stormfire and leech [15:59] eh, I wasn't to impressed wit hthe bearcat [15:59] Hmm, I don't think there was a transport [15:59] Oh neat, X-Files Season 2 just came in the mail [15:59] ALthough Prophecy had better demos. [15:59] No thanks to the poor gun conveargance. [16:00] happy b-day CIC [16:00] I kind of liked the Bearcat specifically for that reason [16:00] <^Death_> Bearcat was okay, but that gun spacing was annoying. The auto-aim seems to have make worse [16:00] Yeah, the 3dfx test was probably one of the coolest times ever [16:00] It wasn't like all the other WCIV fighters which were basically whatever you wanted plus extra stuff [16:00] Let's get this party started [16:00] <^Death_> wait, did the bearcat have autotrack? It's been a while [16:00] It had weaknesses and a kind of focused feel to it [16:00] hear hear [16:00] party has already started...\ [16:00] Yeah [16:00] * Retrieving #Wingnut modes... [16:00] Good thing Eder improved gun convergeance in Standoff for fighters that need it (*cough* Sabre *cough*) [16:00] Zero hour, 6 PM. [16:00] You were flying an interceptor instead of a fighter with torpedoes and missiles and a cloak and special disabling guns, etc. [16:01] Bearcat gad a weak auto-track, IIRC.

[16:01] 3dfx test was good, but I love the regular WCP demo too [16:01] Panda: you seem to credit Eder with lots of stuff... [16:01] Just in time. [16:01] Leave it to the Excalibur to have an overpowered one. [16:01] Welcome. [16:01] I like the idea that it goes into the story of the regular game [16:01] As tradoff you'll lose the ITTS for some ships soon... [16:01] ...and his staff... [16:01] yeah [16:01] pardon me. [16:01] * Monsterfurby prepares some fireworks [16:01] StarLancer did a similar thing, I just didn't care about STarlancer. [16:01] I dig the devestator [16:01] i dident like prophecy my self [16:01] <^Death_> Personally, I think my favorite WC4 fighter was the Banshee. 8 missiles, and the scatter cannon gave it teeth. [16:01] Panda: Eder didn't make the guns converge in STandoff, HCl have. [16:01] the devastator? [16:01] I was always mad they took out the ground missions in WC4 on the psx [16:01] I see. [16:01] It was just really awesome to see the engine for the first time... [16:01] <^Death_> (I fight up close anyway, so the pattern spreading wasn't a big issue) [16:02] I always used the avenger [16:02] Yeah, I'm a big fan of taking down heavys [16:02] Same for me, Hal. [16:02] StarLancer did have one of the best installs i have seen [16:02] The first times I played the Banshee I would hit autoslide by accident and not be able to steer [16:02] That parliament speech, Eagle? [16:02] My starlancer cds live right next to my computer :) [16:02] So the first time through I flew the Vindicator [16:02] I like the banshee, it's like an Arrow with extra features. [16:02] <^Death_> I'm more for heavies, myself, but the Avenger didn't quite catch, for me. [16:02] <^Death_> and the less said of the Vindicator the better :P [16:02] I love heavies...especially the raptor [16:02] Sader the whole thing from that to the battle [16:02] Yeah, I liked the thunderbolt a lot more. [16:03] The Thunderbolt is another one that feels like a real fighter [16:03] My starlancer cds are somewhere spread across the case with 150 game cds. [16:03] Yay for heavy fighters. [16:03] Thunderbolt was the best. [16:03] Give me the DRagon anyday...the SUV of fighters:) [16:03] Somethin about having a huge gun apeals to me [16:03] Hey Striker [16:03] Hey Kris [16:03] Ahh... the raptor... I really need to replay the series [16:03] The limited missile loadout with the heavy hitting guns, it seems balanced for an experience instead of to be great. [16:03] Midway, then? [16:03] I love the Vindicator, even if it's unimpressive. [16:03] yeah [16:03] I was a sucker for the Thunderbolt [16:03] For firepower yeah, but the Arrow was so quick and sleek it could dodge a lot. [16:03] * Sw33t (Sw33t@s1-gw-815.dial-up.net) has joined #wingnut [16:03] * Jonathan (jonathan@CPE00045ad57b30-CM0011aefd4c2a.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) has joined #wingnut [16:03] never did get fo fin Sl got stuck on 1 mission & got tired of replaying it maybe 1 day [16:03] i like the avenger [16:03] Yeah, I like it precisely because it's the Hellcat of UBW fighters [16:03] Hello [16:04] It never seemed unimpressive to me [16:04] the only bad thing is that in WCU it's really crippled because of the cruddy turret position [16:04] the arrow was unbelievable in Wc3 [16:04] Hey Jonathan [16:04] STORMFIRES ROCK! [16:04] I'd prefer the Hellcat [16:04] It was an ordinary fighter with the special weapons with torpedoes [16:04] Besides, in some of the midgame mission the Thud isn't avaialable while the Arrow is almost always. [16:04] dust cannon was better [16:04] <^Death_> Bah, I never liked dancing around a bad guy, I just want to go THROUGH them. The Thud fits that bill. :) [16:04] ...But then again, I loved the Scimitar for its unimpressiveness too... the only unimpressive fighter I didn't like was the Hellcat, because it was so incredibly amazingly ugly. Hooray for WC3's flying boxes! [16:04] I love the Scimitar and I hate flying it. [16:04] Scimitar rocks socks...in my opinion [16:04] Isn't the Scimitar even more ugly? [16:04] It seemed like Wing Commander's ME-210, the whole jack of all trades master of none thing. [16:04] it was ok [16:04] Hellcat wasn't *that* bad, was it? [16:04] Th Thud did wonders for kitty thumping [16:04] The Scimitar is one of those weird things, people don't like it specifically because the game tells them not to. [16:04] Usually if I couldn't use the thunderbolt, I tried to use the longbow [16:04] the scimitar doesn't deserve it's reputation [16:04] I played the first mission of WC with it over and over again [16:04] * kreg (kreg@209.161.26.78) Quit (Quit: Leaving) [16:05] Probably closest in appearance to today's aircraft in WC3. [16:05] It was actually so much easier flying with mass drivers than it was the Hornet's lasers. [16:05] The shuttle was pretty boxy. [16:05] * AdmiralHuang (USSBelldan@tnt05-41.phlpa.fast.net) has joined #wingnut [16:05] Hehehe, the scimitar is great [16:05] <^Death_> Yeah, Scim is underrated, IMO.

[16:05] I preferred the Hornet to the Scim, but that's just my personal preference [16:05] No, the Scimitar actually has a *shape*. I mean, it's like the A-10... it's ugly, but it's got character. The Hellcat, on the other hand, is ugly because it has no character. It's just a box. [16:05] I think my problem was getting used to the slow turning after flying the hornet [16:05] And skilled pilots prefer Hornets and Raptors and Rapiers [16:05] Trello [16:05] happy birthday CIC!

Much like the Bonnie Heather. [16:06] But my favorite was the Rapier [16:06] wow...tough to keep up with the flow of conversation traffic [16:06] chriedings [16:06] -Trelane:@#wingnut- hehehe [16:06] No kidding major [16:06] Indeed [16:06] I am the person who make the slowdown patch for P2, you can tell its my favorite game [16:06] That's right.

I preferred the Raptor [16:06] I am a Rapier fanboy from WC1 all to the end of WC22. [16:06] the wc1 rapier was unimpressive, though [16:06] I prefer the Hornet, too. I even prefer the Hornet to the Raptor in many cases [16:06] Grr, it's to the point where it;s hard to keep up now [16:06] Me too, Huang. [16:06] ah that patch [16:06] I thought the Free Trader was pretty, for a transport [16:06] the raptor was way better [16:06] Happy B-Da all [16:06] Rapier sucked. [16:06] somethin about a sweet handeling fighter with near cap ship shields [16:06] happy b-day CIC [16:06] I like how the super special ultra fighter in WC1 is debatable. [16:06] one didnt work on p3 well [16:06] Raptor was the best. [16:06] -Trelane:@#wingnut- hmm, no Byydo, I was wondering if he'd show [16:06] Raptor is my favorite ship of all time [16:06] That's how it should be, not amazingly super-good like the Excalibur and the Lance [16:06] -Trelane:@#wingnut- unless he's using some horrible alternate nick I don't see [16:06] Yeah, I never did well with the Rapier [16:06] I liked both the raptor and the rapier [16:07] The thing with the Raptor is that the speed of the fast mass drivers influences the slow neutron guns when using full guns [16:07] I just bought wing commander 4 2 years ago roflol [16:07] Rpaier had solid guns, ammo, and armor [16:07] Rapier sucked with full weapons on. [16:07] holy fark there's alot of people in here [16:07] Drained too fast. [16:07] Super fighters not equal space superiority fighters? [16:07] -LOAF:@#WingNut- Byydo married a Japanese woman who then killed him in his sleep using a pair of sharpened chopsticks, per their pre-arranged agreement. [16:07] Rapier was pretty good but I preferred the Raptor for capship strikes. [16:07] -Trelane:@#wingnut- SupaMario or King_Nehemiah or something [16:07] You need to take careful aim with the Rapier [16:07] I hated the Rapier when I first flew it in WC1... funnily enough, I found it simply too manoeuvrable... that first mission involved asteroids, and I took quite a few hits when I overturned :P. It took some getting used to, which was neat all in all. [16:07] I mean if you lost your shields you're screwed, but with the lasrs and neutrons it rarely happens [16:07] With particle cannons it has got better in WC2. [16:07] Only problem with the rapier is if you ramed kat fighters a lot like I did :) [16:07] Yeah, on that note. I played Wc2 last night and I played Standoff...seems like the mass drivers are too slow in WC Standoff [16:07] I always try to fly it like a heavy fighter and get trounced accordingly [16:07] <^Death_> I didn't care for either flavor of Rapier we flew in the game, personally. The laser/neutron of the WC1 implementation (if I'm not misremembering) just didn't work, with that stupid long/short gun mix [16:07] i like using that heavy slow bomber in prophecy to take out shits [16:07] ships [16:07] 1 shot 1 kill [16:07] I loved the broadsword [16:07] But again lots of people love the Rapier specifically because the game tells them to. [16:07] ya I liked the plasma canno [16:07] IF you hit. [16:08] Also because it looks like Firefox, I guess. [16:08] You can't do head on in the Rapier, and I'm pretty direct [16:08] hititng thuings with it was fun [16:08] if you're good you'll hit [16:08] No afterbrners though [16:08] The plasma shot is slow as hell. [16:08] not hard [16:08] 3 mas drivers were a good combo [16:08] Yeah, the broadsword was great [16:08] Majorstriker: all our gun stats are taken from WC2, so I don't think our mass drivers are too slow :P. [16:08] but the turrets on the devastator were so innefectual [16:08] love watching those ace aliens brag and die in mid sentence [16:08] hay guys is there any patches i can download to help play wc4 on me coz hit keeps crashin [16:08] they were worthless [16:08] I liked Firefox [16:08] I think the Ferret was my favorite ship in WCII, though [16:08] BOOM. [16:08] hitting things with charging mass driver was fun too [16:08] 1 shot. [16:08] Hmm...are all the maneuver numbers taken from WC2 as well? [16:08] * kreg passes out the pary mt dew kegs [16:08] True, lasers are the suck in WCP. [16:08] heh. I never had much luck with turrets in any of the WC games. [16:08] There were turrets on the Devastator? I never really noticed... Heh. [16:08] hey are the @ here [16:08] I just want a nimble ship with loads of firepower. Forget armor. [16:08] because I swear they aren't as effective in Standoff? [16:08] dew anyone? [16:08] Devastator's plasma cannon was very helpful in knocking off fighters in your pig of a ship. :) [16:08] Epee [16:08] Yeah, the Devastator had lots of turrets [16:08] any official annoucemenets [16:08] Six [16:08] I wish they'd made a bigger deal of them [16:08] * Spectre (Spectre@212.43.79.29) Quit (Ping timeout) [16:08] what time is it now? [16:08] It's like a space B-17 [16:08] taunt & plasma - awesome combo [16:08] * Sw33t (Sw33t@s1-gw-815.dial-up.net) Quit (Quit: wcnews.com) [16:08] oh neat, I received an ePicture [16:09] i also liked that carrier defender in prophecy [16:09] It's... 7:08? [16:09] I just didn't seem to die as much in the Rapier as I did the Raptor, not that I didn't like the Raptor [16:09] whatever it's called [16:09] Epee? Pee could stain it's armor [16:09] The Wasp? [16:09] wasp [16:09] Hehehe, oh, yeah, I took a picture of a funny piece of returned mail I saw. [16:09] oh ya baby [16:09] * Sw33t (Sw33t@s1-gw-815.dial-up.net) has joined #wingnut [16:09] best weapon configuration [16:09] It's all about who can fly fry and die [16:09] in the addon at least [16:09] Normally returned mail says "ADDRESS NOT FOUND" or "RETURN TO SENDER" or something normal [16:09] Black Wasp is cool [16:09] Indeed [16:09] I liked the Epee, it took skill to fly [16:09] Don't forget the super ferret! I don't see how giving it a couple missles makes it super [16:09] Being able to fly a raptor and not die is good thing [16:09] What'd you get, LOAF? [16:09] But that one said "REJECTED BY YALE" [16:09] hehe [16:09] Majorstriker: Yeah, they are all taken from WC2... which is why they're different than the manual says :p. [16:09] U guys played wing commander armada by any chance? [16:09] hehehe [16:09] hehehe [16:09] Ha! [16:09] Hehehe [16:09] Loaf--- Rejected by YALE? [16:09] I liked the Super Ferret [16:09] Armada = I play! [16:09] Hmm, well I'll take your word for it [16:09] Oh, I didn't get anything, I'm temping for an evil company that gets a lot of returned mail. [16:09] Of course. [16:10] Too bad it wasn't Rejected By Harvard, it'd be good for your Paris Gellar fansite [16:10] was great game [16:10] I like the Epee [16:10] Yeah, I've played Armada [16:10] lol [16:10] too bad it never caught on [16:10] Armada was okay [16:10] Armada could've used a tweaked AI [16:10] y [16:10] The Epee is good for a challenge. [16:10] My Paris Gellar fansite has enough material as is. [16:10] Strategy elements was good [16:10] The only reason Armada was good because it had multiplayer [16:10] Did Armada's AI cheat? [16:10] Epee reminded me of corndog with wings [16:10] I wasn't huge on it, but I did enjoy it [16:10] Ye gods, I haven't played Armada in forever [16:10] space sim... wished the AI was better [16:10] well my friend and I would nevef choose heavy ships [16:10] With two particle guns it could dish it out but not take out [16:10] <^Death_> Armada's main problem was that it was designed for an environment that wasn't quite ready yet, namely multiplayer. [16:10] odd fighter, but worked [16:10] cuz in human vs human we would just burner out of reach using light or medium [16:10] It's the Space Zero [16:10] It felt like it to me - it would always have dozens of fighters at its disposal. [16:10] no matter what type or ship configuration, the AI always comes to you the same way repeatively [16:10] Regarding the excitement over the Prophecy 3dfx test, yeah it's a pity the the whole space sim scene was on the decline when the 3D accellerator market took off in 1997/1998 -- a AAA Wing Commander game built on a modern engine with programmable shaders would have stunning visuals. I always thought that the Thud was the epitome of hard mofo. [16:10] i'd like to see a fangame with multi player [16:10] I still haven't ever gotten my Armada CD back from my best freind [16:11] Yeah, and then they had to sell it as a strategy game instead of a multiplayer game [16:11] * Spectre (Spectre@212.43.79.29) has joined #wingnut [16:11] piArmada? [16:11] Incredible maneuverability, good guns, tissue armor [16:11] Armada cheats on the strategy side, yes [16:11] That's the Epee [16:11] Remember when Akkbar got a free 3dfx card for some reason? [16:11] piArmada is greatly underated [16:11] hehehe [16:11] When it was clearly designed for head to head modem battles -- the strategy stuff was an afterthought. [16:11] Doesn't that apply to all WWII fighters? [16:11] Remember the video for prophect? INTENSE MULTIPLAYER SCENARIOS! [16:11] Epee is great, but only if you learn how to fly it. Actually, I find it much more fun to fly in the WCP engine than it was in WC2. [16:11] Yeah, I'll definitely miss having to buy new computer parts for WC games... [16:11] If they'd sold Armada a little bit later, after DooM built up the infrastructure, people would still be playing it today. [16:11] Am looking forward to playing piArmada, just no time at present. [16:11] i crashed PiArmada somehow :( [16:11] I'm sure we'll have to build expensive new computers someday. [16:11] Man, know what I loved? The Ferrett [16:11] t city of Babylon. [16:11] [18:49] * spiritplumber has quit IRC (Rea [16:11] Have to second Quarto on that [16:11] smile everyone. screenshot! [16:11] Yeah, Ferret was great [16:12] I'm not to keen on PiArmada's interface [16:12] But people should seriously consider building their own Wing Commander computers, it's a lot of fun [16:12] same thing with the Priv remakes... [16:12] yeah [16:12] You can buy all the expensive weird stuff that you couldn't afford in 1995 [16:12] a bit more complicated compared to the original's [16:12] I have a compuyter with my Voodoo3 in it just for that [16:12] * PopsiclePete is now known as PopsiclePete_work_Standoff_DLL [16:12] I still remember accidentally afterburning into the Concordia after an Epee mission. :( [16:12] And I still love the Stiletto for kicks, Ferret or no. [16:12] I hope that doesn't include Reckoning :( [16:12] and winblows98 :( [16:12] man the mods are late for their own bday [16:12] Bump! [16:12] Yeah, I might do that with my current Linux box if I upgrade it [16:12] SCO LUNIX IS TEH SUPERIAR OPERATING SYSTEM! [16:12] maybe bad traffic [16:12] Hehe, I did that in a Scim. [16:12] Haven't tried Reckoning 1.0 or above yet [16:12] I payed 199 for my voodoo extreme 8mb card back in the day..next day I saw it somewhere else for 99 [16:12] Over and over again [16:12] I remember not knowing any of the keys in WC1 [16:12] Until I died [16:12] hey, don't knock 98, jonathan [16:12] And flying the first couple missions without afterburners [16:12] I think a fix Pimarda interface is in the works [16:12] Say good bye to space sims [16:12] they're all dead now. [16:13] not with us [16:13] even to sims in general [16:13] Yeah, it's a shame [16:13] it's too bad [16:13] I mean, in the original Privs, you just go select an item, click and it's purchased... [16:13] just kiding :) it does its jiob just fine [16:13] not exactly [16:13] Say goodbye to dear old coney island, if there you chance to be [16:13] what replaces them?

[16:13] MMORPGs? [16:13] RTS and FPS seem to be the standby now [16:13] Well, the big problem is that no one has joysticks anymore [16:13] in the Remakes, you instead have to enter a entire new menu... which feels a bit cumbersome [16:13] just that many younger players find GTA more entertaining than a good dogfight [16:13] EA hired that hot shot sim maker only to fire the whoel dept 3 months later, 5 years back [16:13] They're just not a standard computer component [16:13] messing the with the autoexec.bat and config.sys was great fun back in the day :) [16:13] Heh, good job, Sader. :) [16:13] That, or some crappy EA shit. [16:13] ya my joystick got worn out [16:13] DOS = What You See Is What You Get [16:13] So people who sell games see that and they realize they'll be selling to a tiny percentage of the market if they develop a space sim [16:13] and the buttons don't work anymore [16:13] WC 1 without burners isn't so bad. WC1 without knowing the afterburner key was the real pain [16:14] I am going through SWG withdrawl [16:14] EA = World Domination [16:14] sims costs 2x more to make [16:14] Thought, that'd be WYSIWYG... [16:14] maybe appeals to 20% of market [16:14] A WC Pacific Fighters would be great [16:14] Happy BIRTHDAY, CIC! [16:14] Anyone ever snap their joystick in half? [16:14] u get less sales. [16:14] Well, EA saved Wing Commander in 1992 and they gave us a lot of great games with their money [16:14] oh yeah [16:14] EA = Extremely Awful. [16:14] twice! [16:14] Admiral: yes [16:14] im surprised they lasted that long [16:14] Doesn't seem right to complain about it now [16:14] Snapped 4 sticks so far [16:14] almost [16:14] That's how I killed my last one [16:14] I broke a Logitech Wingman through underuse [16:14] How does one snap a joystick, play too vigorously? [16:14] new one holds up pretty well [16:14] I was playing X-Wing Alliance and I overcompensated in a B-Wing... [16:14] one of the cheap $5 ones I had on my C54 [16:14] I've never killed one in action, though [16:14] i've only killed my primary trigger 4 times on 4 sticks [16:14] no...buy cheap joysticks [16:14] I use a 3d pro [16:14] ... tried to pull up a bit too hard. [16:15] who's holding the WC license currently btw? EA? [16:15] i broke a ps1 controller once [16:15] I feel kind of better knowing that they can't sell a Star Wars space sim anymore either. [16:15] I didn't bust my joystick... yet. [16:15] but i was trying :) [16:15] Yeah, Electronic Arts [16:15] yeah, i got small bruises from my flightstick after beating Wc3 [16:15] <^Death_> Yeah, how dare EA provide money to film WC3 and WC4... or, hell, do just about everything after WC2's release (IIRC) [16:15] er [16:15] You can make Lego Star Wars but you can't make fly a spaceship Star Wars. [16:15] I don't have a joystick plugged in anymore, I think I have a crappy cheapo 2-button stick in my basement somewhere if I ever need one [16:15] C64 [16:15] If it can survive falling on my foot its good [16:15] It's crazy [16:15] Consoles are where it's at [16:15] remember back 5 years when everyone was making rumble controllers for joysticks nad mmice [16:15] now nobody talks aobut it :( [16:15] you guys ever try x-plane? [16:15] money wise yes [16:15] LOAF, but they keep making those Star Wars spaceship games for the consoles, and they sell pretty well :P. [16:15] tech wise no [16:15] Never heard of it. [16:15] But theyre not very good, Quarto [16:15] consoles still blow when compared to a real PC [16:15] * BradMick (brad.mick.@68-185-139-182.dhcp.jcsn.tn.charter.com) has joined #wingnut [16:15] * ChrisReid sets mode: +v BradMick [16:15] bob, i know. i'm kinda sad about that [16:16] Yeah, Star Wars arcadfe games with invisible walls... [16:16] Rogue Squadron III had those FPS interludes [16:16] Yeah, but they're not what we'd think of as space games [16:16] Maybe not...Freelancer sold very well [16:16] extremely realistic (FAA certified) flightsim and airplane CAD [16:16] For a space sim [16:16] Rogue Squadron II was awesome though. [16:16] I like the Rogue Squadron series. :) [16:16] * ChrisReid changes topic to 'The Birthday Party is ON NOW! - www.wcnews.com\' [16:16] If you have an XBOX you should try installing the dosbox emulator [16:16] They're clone trooper simulators and Obi-Wan simulators [16:16] They're rail shooters and physics-less action games. They're a lot of fun, and I'd love to see a WC one. [16:16] Freelancer was a triumph in voice acting...always nice to see a game that gets THAT part right [16:16] Well, nobody said they're good... they just sell, that's all. And yeah, they're definitely not true space sims. [16:16] Freelancer sold a million copies [16:16] I could play tyrian on my xbox perfectly [16:16] but only because Freelancer had a more arcade-ish approach [16:16] but it's development cost was a killer [16:16] Freelancer ended up being the most expensive game ever made, though. [16:16] Yeah [16:16] and was hyped quite a lot [16:16] Deus Ex had the best voice acting,. [16:16] I loved freelancer, I bought it the day it came out [16:16] How much was Freelancer?! [16:16] yeah, what Loaf said [16:16] After space sims died, I switched over to anime... Urg. [16:16] Deus Ex isnt anything worth talking about [16:17] @spiritplumber: yes, one of the earlier builds -- very configurable, but appears very daunting to casual flight sim fans. [16:17] lol [16:17] last time I head about 10 bucks or less [16:17] i remember seeing freelance on X-play, or whatever the show was called at that time. [16:17] I disagree, Kingdom Hearts had the best voice acting of any game I've played [16:17] I kind of hate the vocal chatter in FL [16:17] Deus Ex is wicked [16:17] * WildFire- (Dynaco@pgalberth.dsl.visi.com) has joined #wingnut [16:17] * ChrisReid sets mode: +v WildFire- [16:17] Anybody knows of a game titled Shenmue? It's said to beaten WCIV production's costs record by 2002 [16:17] Deus Ex franchise is dead. [16:17] I haven't enjoyed much anime in a while. [16:17] Everyone knows System Shock [16:17] Deus Ex is the best. [16:17] they fired the whole team [16:17] I think actually multiplayer option hurt Freelancer... [16:17] shenmue rawks [16:17] Shenmue by Sega [16:17] im out guys ill be back in an hour bye [16:17] SYstem Shock: Underated technothriller [16:17] Deus Ex was a second-string knock off of System Shock [16:17] Deus Ex 2 was bad tho, thats what killed it I guess [16:17] Mr. LOAF, it's just hard to get into anime that's good these days [16:17] yeah, Shenmue were some great games.. [16:17] LOAF, just saw Serial Experiments LAIN [16:17] FPS/RPG Hybrid [16:17] Shenmue was expensive, but it was a LARGE game [16:17] Yeah, there's soo much of it [16:17] number 3 was never made though [16:17] * spiritplumber (JavaUser@cpe-66-25-78-34.satx.res.rr.com) Quit (Quit: wcnews.com) [16:17] It's either friggin expensive or hard to find.

[16:17] Freelancer's voice acting just made me wonder when the main character was going to break into the space administration office to illegally change his space grades [16:17] Did they ever figure out... whats it called... the big space opera one? [16:18] Chicken, good or just being sarcastic? >: ) [16:18] hehehehehe [16:18] Never heard of Shenmue either. [16:18] I really wish they built multiplayer into prophecy [16:18] some of us might still be playing it then [16:18] after SP MP is really the only way to enjoy FP then again use MODs & replay or use no story & has new life [16:18] Yeah, Deus Ex was different in that it was bad and was a knock off [16:18] Multiplayer WCP would have kept it going another decade. [16:18] <^Death_> "some of us" still ARE playing WCP. [16:18] no, jin-roh as a dark and brooding anime [16:18] Nope. [16:18] Gakh, what was it called. [16:18] big time. [16:18] I like anime, but i'm not qualified enough to say i love it or know exactly how to appreciate it [16:18] but they shitcanned everything [16:18] Whoa, whoa... hold it... did I hear somebody say that Freelancer had voiceacting? :P [16:18] Cat Farm? [16:18] there are actually some good FL servers out there both plain vanilla & modded [16:18] my favorite has to be that "beyond" episode in animatrix [16:18] Cat Farm? Eh...? [16:18] Sure, it had Steve from 90210. [16:18] Not Cat Farm [16:18] lets just say its a 'must see' [16:18] the "Of the Stars" ones? [16:18] And steve did a good job for once :P [16:18] At least Deus Ex had other conversational NPCs, compared to Shock's off the screen soon to be dead characters [16:19] Chicken, heh ok [16:19] Mutineer's Moon? [16:19] No [16:19] Speaking of which, how are the other Wing Commander fan projects coming along [16:19] I mean, Shock's so... tense, and so ... desolate, lonely. [16:19] anythign else close to release? [16:19] Much like Star Wars, fans ruin any appreciation I can have for anime [16:19] Where's Frosty? [16:19] Deus Ex had a much better story than SS2. [16:19] melted??? [16:19] Saga's going to be a while [16:19] Trelane, i dunno! i'll give him a call [16:19] Did a search on voice actors on IMDb a few days ago. Amazing how certain names kept coming up. [16:19] Yeah [16:19] Mutineer's Moon - great book, wonder if the series woll ever take off [16:19] Deus Ex was also dated by a couple of years [16:19] hehehe, yeah, call him [16:19] You mean like yaoi fangirls ruining good anime? [16:19] Anime people are the worst people ever. [16:19] I can't belive this party is actually happening [16:19] Legend of Galactic Heroes! [16:19] And had the same damned HUD as SS [16:19] In Final Fantasy X, in the Animatrix, in the Clone Wars... [16:19] whatever happened to wasteland? [16:19] Huzzah~ [16:19] no, I don't think so [16:19] The voiceacting was one thing I hated about Freelancer. Though, to be fair, it wasn't because it was bad... it was just because of the awful way in which they chopped up the generic conversations. Hello We own this base [16:19] Did they ever figure some release mechanism for that here? [16:19] Most of the anime they send to the US is shit anyways [16:20] u guys try the babylon5 sim yet? [16:20] it's quite good [16:20] Hehe, yeah Quarto [16:20] Because that looked impressively Honor Harringtonish [16:20] Didn't the Babylon 5 sim get canned? [16:20] Quarto-Thats not voice acting, thats programing :P [16:20] ChrisReid, at keyboard? [16:20] the german voice acting was pretty decent [16:20] That part was always a bit weird, Q. [16:20] uh it did? [16:20] Admiral: Yes [16:20] Because I go on anime spacebattles regularly and nobody's screamed about it recently [16:20] You have to wait and watch the reviews to get good anime [16:20] the fan project [16:20] "We don't run this place, but we have a decent understanding of those who do." [16:20] not the official sierra one [16:20] The character conversations are what made it for me [16:20] Babylon 5: I've Found Her [16:20] But the story line scenes were pretty good in Freelancer. [16:20] I like how LOGH has Space Germans [16:20] Deus Ex was around the same time as Unreal Tournament, so they both fly on my Voodoo3 old-games computer [16:20] yes [16:20] that one. [16:20] Who aren't Nazis [16:20] someone should take a couple screen shots of the party [16:20] Specialy when the main character sums up what he doesnt want to happen to him on the last mission :) [16:20] Nazis are fun [16:20] Whoa, WF [16:20] We usually log the whole thing [16:20] Whats up [16:20] burning Nazis are fun too! [16:20] and no one ever reads it [16:21] nazi soup is also fun [16:21] its a lot to read [16:21] Trelane, ah cool [16:21] Yay, Wildfire stopped playing CS long enough to show up. [16:21] i have never been able to understand anime just watched akira again recenlty & still did not understand all of it [16:21] I haven't played CS in months [16:21] I'd read it after a few years. Going through old archives is always fun [16:21] I've been playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein [16:21] Jedi_Ranger, heh heh [16:21] Oh, hey, Wildfire [16:21] Oh [16:21] I like Enigma: Rising Tide, it just sucks that the company making it apparently is made up of horrible people [16:21] Im still not done with FarCry [16:21] I actually haven't played any games really in months, too busy [16:21] CS isn't hip anymore, CS for Half-Life 2 is hip now [16:21] Yep. [16:21] Nazis are a fascinating subject...but NOT fun! [16:21] When it comes to anime the more wierd and screwed up the better [16:21] Hell, I'm still playing Starcraft... [16:21] I never understood the big stink about HL [16:22] The thing with online FPS is: You better then them, you are a cheater. [16:22] I'm still playing TA [16:22] AdmiralHuang, i know what you mean [16:22] I still need to get a new video card for HL2, but also FEAR [16:22] * deafMute (deafMute@209.135.115.113) has left #wingnut [16:22] If you want a screwed up anime, try Melody of Oblivion... and prepare to never drink milk again [16:22] * deafMute (deafMute@209.135.115.113) has joined #wingnut [16:22] You didn't understand the big stink about DX either. [16:22] There are two types of people in this world, those who like StarCraft and those who like Total Annihilation [16:22] Chicken, i just picked up a Geforce 6800 Ultra agp [16:22] I hate the voice acting in anime. [16:22] English and Japanese alike [16:22] Half Life was a neat thing when it came out [16:22] Hehehe [16:22] FarCry is surprisingly involvded -- one of my favourite games from 2004 [16:22] <^Death_> Akira is downright babytalk, for levels of understandability, compared to, say, FLCL (saw a few eps when there was absolutely nothing on... "WFT?!?!" was the least of my responses) [16:22] I really hated FarCry [16:22] im playing TA right now, on zone :D [16:22] Yeah, I wish people in anime never talked either [16:22] trelane, have you heard about Supreme Commander? [16:22] I was big with TA modding and mapping when it just came out [16:22] BrynS, i suck at that game. but it's awesome [16:22] Count me to the former Trelane. [16:22] total annihilation is the greatest RTS in known history [16:22] Yes, i've heard of it [16:22] Ace -- Why? [16:22] It's not really special compared to anything now, but it was neat when it started. [16:22] in a room waiting for players.. [16:22] I'd love it if they'd just cut it all out [16:22] it should be quite good [16:22] SC coming in xmas 2006 [16:22] Hehe [16:23] But the part of me that likes elaborate franchises likes all the addons a lot [16:23] I probably don't care enough to upgrade my computer to play it [16:23] It was a pretty bad game [16:23] Is bob still talking about seiyuu...? [16:23] How you can play Security Guard Half Life and Army Half Life and Girl on Girl Half Life [16:23] Heh. [16:23] And they all connect to the same story [16:23] i remember hl1 was one of the first shooters i actually "brought into" the game [16:23] I liked how it started out but this crap about mutants really disinterested me [16:23] My middle name is Seiyu [16:23] I need to pick up a real copy of Half-Life [16:23] * t-c-cgi (dude@pcp05121916pcs.lehgha01.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: ) [16:23] i'll take C&C thank you very much even though have done botrh of the others [16:23] I've never played Half Life [16:23] My middle name is Lo... heh [16:23] wow, my middle name is Seiyu too [16:23] or StarCraft [16:23] Never played Half-Life? Wow. [16:23] I've played Half-Life, just never owned my own copy [16:23] or ... The Sims [16:23] Good. [16:23] I really hated Half-Life 2 too [16:24] That Riddick game was pretty good - if short and linear [16:24] lol ace. [16:24] The Sims was so stupid yet strangely addicting [16:24] well you can live without the sims [16:24] The Sims is fantastic [16:24] Half-Life 2 wasn't bad at all. [16:24] It was just overhyped. [16:24] I never played Half-Life 2, but I hate it because ace did [16:24] I never really got into the sims [16:24] Real life substitution is a just plain wrong concept. [16:24] LOAF: Did you get the ER game yet? [16:24] Are they going to do Half Life 2 for a console? Because I can't afford to upgrade my computron anymore [16:24] and because lots of jerks like it [16:24] amen, Goku [16:24] The Sims is great [16:24] Yes, I did get the ER game [16:24] I liked the Sims but it wasn't that great after two months [16:24] That's great, Tre. [16:24] Yep, HL2 for XBOX [16:24] I'll be playing it over the course of the next semester. [16:24] It had nothing good that the first one had [16:24] I've played half-life on and off over the past few years. Actually played it start to finish for the first time about 5 months ago. [16:24] It's gonna suck. [16:24] Real life is just a subsitution for world of warcraft [16:24] And it was impossible to shoot people [16:24] You need The Sims if your RL is fucked. [16:24] you can live without the sims, but the sims cant't live without you. [16:24] lol [16:24] lol [16:24] how was it impossible? [16:24] it was simple. [16:24] Also, SimAnt. [16:24] true lol [16:24] I should get the ER game too [16:24] The guns wouldn't go where you shot them [16:24] How profound. [16:24] c'mon the sims allows you to play God [16:24] Hehe. [16:25] eh, the only thing i liked about the sims was building mansions [16:25] Only the submachine gune [16:25] And you would constantly run out of ammo [16:25] Anyone here that made it through the xbox version of Doom3? [16:25] That was the only weapon :( [16:25] sim ant, I actualy played that game. along with SIM FARM [16:25] get black and white if you wanna play god [16:25] Heheh. [16:25] then again I stopped playing becuase I killed them all [16:25] I used the pistol half the game. [16:25] Yeah, that's pretty stupid isn't it? [16:25] Hehe. [16:25] The thing I liked most about The Sims was making two women sleep with eachother [16:25] SIMS is just a doll house for geeks [16:25] FarCry is not for everyone though, but a nice mix of stealth, with moments of chaotic gun running. Great engine, decent AI and good mix of locales. Riddick was also very impressive, but too short IMO. [16:25] Best part of Sim Farm was the tornado with the cow in it [16:25] Far Cry just LOOKED beautiful. [16:25] * paulvt1 (JavaUser@cpe-069-132-055-109.carolina.res.rr.com) has joined #wingnut [16:25] I like colorful games.

[16:26] I think the trick is figuring out how to get the PC games to play on an HDTV [16:26] shot em up game? [16:26] SimAnt was colorful [16:26] hi Tempest [16:26] I had a friend actualy manage to win Sim Ant on the Snes [16:26] fun [16:26] I think Doom 3 was the last good FPS.... [16:26] It had both red ants and black ants [16:26] area 51 was easily one of the best FPS I've played ina lont time [16:26] Sim Ant was a pretty cool game... i always hated the spider though.. [16:26] FPS with a lot of aliens thrown in the mix [16:26] especially the sink maps [16:26] you can move your ants into the house and make the owners leave [16:26] HDTVs can function as monitors [16:26] DOOM 3 was horrible, ace. [16:26] lol [16:26] Just plug your PC into them [16:26] Doom 3 was great [16:26] ace-1, are you serious? i got so bored with Doom3 [16:26] Dave Duchovny was the main voice [16:26] yeah 256 colorful [16:26] Area 51 was a lot like the original Half Life [16:26] Serious Sam 2 comes out in October tough [16:26] You people are so backwards :( [16:26] Me too, kreg. [16:26] Hehe. [16:26] I never got to play DooM 3 [16:26] hi chris [16:26] hey [16:26] Doom 3 was dull and not very good. [16:26] sorry I haven't really been talking [16:26] :) [16:27] ZFGokuSSJ1, heh seriously. it was just alot of dark hallways [16:27] Greatest FPS will be the new Duke Nukem game, I can say that knowing it will never come out!

[16:27] ChrisReid, ! what's up dude [16:27] Doom 3 was scary and it looked nice [16:27] I never wanted to play Doom 3.

[16:27] So whats your excuse, Goku [16:27] ZFGokuSSJ1, i was hopoing to get scared. but wasn't [16:27] Any FPS fans should check out the FEAR demo -- it will bring your PC to it's knees, but seems to be getting great buzz. The demo is very creepy, the devs obviously watched a lot of Japanese horror films and AI is very good -- watch soldiers dive through windows and under gaps. [16:27] -LOAF:@#WingNut- People are /msging me, we should start. [16:28] hey hay happy bday! [16:28] The original Wolfenstein was good... [16:28] There's a demo, Bryn?

[16:28] Dark Forces was really frustrating, but it was fun that it existed [16:28] Wow, i havent seena friendly irc channel in years [16:28] I believe to thing purchasing Battlefield 42 was wrong. [16:28] a venerable GeForce 3 [16:28] Yeah, actual violence in Star Wars [16:28] Yeah, DF was great [16:28] That was before LucasArts was literally a Star Wars farm. [16:28] yeahm check out all the major demo sites... 3dgamers, filefront, fileplanet, gamershell, etc - 650MB [16:28] * deafMute smiles [16:28] gf3..

I have fond memories [16:29] I have [16:29] couldn't get into the xbox version though [16:29] Fatcat: I did, in the arcade [16:29] that still isnt rivelled byt oday's standards [16:29] I loved Crimson Skies [16:29] Only Crimson Skies 1 [16:29] #wingnut hated me when i first showed up. But after the beatings they gave me, we grew to like eachother [16:29] 12So we've got thirty minutes until the actual moment when we hit seven years old. That countdown is now under way. We'd like to give out the first prize. [16:29] both the PC and X-Box versions [16:29] haven't finished the PC one yet [16:29] lol [16:29] I played PC and X-box versions [16:29] a new card like a radeon or newer geforce is around 1-200 bucks [16:29] I sort of enjoyed the X-box one a bit more [16:29] i played the pc version [16:29] I had the chance to pick up crimson skies on the pc for 5 bucks once..same day I bought starlancer for 2 bucks...wish I had boguht both [16:29] Wow, silence for a moment. [16:29] My nicest video card is a Voodoo 5. [16:29] I can't stand console ports of PC games. [16:29] It wasn't a port [16:29] brand new game [16:29] Heh... I bought about 4 copies of Starlancer at $2 [16:29] I think it had a better story [16:29] Anyone played the original Starsiege? [16:30] wow [16:30] LOAF, hah ha. back when bump mapping was inovative [16:30] I cant stand PC ports of Console Games [16:30] Starsiege, not the Tribes version? [16:30] yeah the latest high-end cards are approaching silly prices -- $600 for a 7800GTX... madness. [16:30] jeez Le. [16:30] I'm not sure what bump mapping is. [16:30] i guess chris roberts is no longer in game making business? [16:30] Hey, I enjoyed Starlancer. [16:30] You're totally not cool anymore. [16:30] I almost got a copy of Starlancer for $2, but then I remembered Microsoft sent me a copy for free [16:30] Stop calling LeHah 'le', it's just weird. [16:30] * mazinger (mazinger@adsl-12-1-71.int.bellsouth.net) has joined #wingnut [16:30] I think I can almost build a whole comp for $600 [16:30] I don't have oodles of cash to throw around [16:30] LeHah. [16:30] LOAF, lol [16:30] I don't think I know anything about new video cards [16:30] its all about budgeting [16:30] 12So for our first prize, we'll be giving away a CIC Polo Shirt [16:30] Shut up, Goku [16:30] I played Starsiege 2 [16:30] I think it's like those globes that have raised elevations [16:30] Hehe. [16:30] yay [16:30] awesome!! [16:30] it was a fun mechwarrior clone [16:30] I played Earthsiege [16:31] and ES2 [16:31] As long as it's not Robotech: Battlecry... [16:31] MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries was a good MechWarrior clone [16:31] lol [16:31] * bob (bob@c-65-96-200-244.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has joined #wingnut [16:31] * ChrisReid sets mode: +v bob [16:31] I liked Battlecry [16:31] mech games are deadtoo [16:31] * Delta_Strife (Delta_Stri@stjhts21c026.nbnet.nb.ca) Quit (Ping timeout) [16:31] damnit [16:31] damn.. [16:31] EARTHsiege I mean, sorry [16:31] hey Bob [16:31] back [16:31] Didn't the Metaltech/Earthsiege codes came from the original Mechwarrior game? [16:31] * DevilDragon (Logan@ip244.gtelco.net) has joined #wingnut [16:31] battlecry was simple, and fun, for a bit [16:31] for many youngsters its GTA [16:31] Bump mapping enables you to give structure inforamtion to a flat surface very much like a texture [16:31] Hey bob [16:31] Bumpmapping simulates mass or displacement...so a bumpmap on someone's face for example might make them look like they have real pimples on their face without them being modelled [16:31] Yance [16:31] the positive thing about it is the that the entire lines are refreshed quicker and drop in price a lot quicker as well, so for $100-200 you can pick up a card with very respectable performance. [16:31] Weren't the original Mechwarrior machines ripped from the Macross anime? [16:31] I really hated how Battlecry ended. [16:31] DevilDragon, !!!!!!!! [16:31] Heavy Gear was the best. [16:31] Kreg, !!! [16:31] Bump mapping is so 1998 [16:32] DevilDragon, welcome back dude! join the party [16:32] Jack Archer was rescued at the end, we're pretty sure of that [16:32] yup, macross and many other anime [16:32] If you could get Heavy Gear to run [16:32] alright [16:32] I did. [16:32] I liked Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries...fun game that was severely underrated [16:32] That game was horribly buggy [16:32] Still a fun game, ripped off mecha or not [16:32] kreg, it is great to be back [16:32] The Classic Battleetch is being retooled because of those Mech design issues... [16:32] yeah, bump mapping is pretty outmoded now [16:32] Goku, for the first prize, pick a number between 1 and 57 [16:32] I know. [16:32] I don't think he was, cause he died. [16:32] It was fun though [16:32] 12Goku, for the first prize, pick a number between 1 and 57 [16:32] normal maps all the way [16:32] 53 [16:32] 42 [16:32] I'm surpirsed there hasn't been a gundam game for the PC [16:32] oh, sorry [16:32] bob shuttie! [16:32] There is [16:32] heh [16:32] only in Japan [16:32] Heh, why 42, I wonder. [16:32] nice pick, goku [16:32] lol [16:32] DevilDragon, in less thatn 30 min is the 7th year b-day [16:32] Really? [16:32] Isn't Gundam the same as MechWarrior? [16:32] It's not a prime number? [16:32] hehe. [16:32] I know the;ve got ones on the PS2 [16:32] no [16:32] I'm just surprised I was first. [16:32] Thay have that siesure-inducing SNES fisghting game for Gundam Wing [16:32] what else if not 42 [16:32] Nope. :p [16:33] 13 [16:33] Plenty of other numbers... [16:33] Then again gundam was overkill [16:33] 36 is a good number [16:33] i think Goku is gone [16:33] Hehe. [16:33] Extreme overkill [16:33] Oh well [16:33] 42 is the ONE tho... [16:33] This is my first time. [16:33] Mechwarrior=Gundam=FullMetalPanic=Transporters [16:33] Thought that'd be 1... [16:33] I've been doing a bunch of Gundam models in my spare time [16:33] DevilDragon, so what's up? [16:33] why? [16:33] All ships [16:33] I think kreg is lagged [16:33] I'd take mech warrior over gundam [16:34] So would I. [16:34] Gundam got too stupid after a while [16:34] me too [16:34] likewise [16:34] Kreg is lagged, hehehe. [16:34] MechWarrior is good [16:34] kreg, not a whole lot.. just a lot of work.. and in like 2 weeks I am dune [16:34] bah i'm not lagged [16:34] * Spectre (Spectre@212.43.79.29) Quit (Quit: ) [16:34] ya prolly am [16:34] there's some interesting design parallels between some of them and WC [16:34] that's and understatement [16:34] Oh. [16:34] you cant really compare mechwarrior and gundam.. [16:34] Hehe. [16:34] 0083 was awful [16:34] deafMute, cool [16:34] It's great to see how many Gundam shows that replay the same plot [16:34] I had an idea about that...WC Mercenaries... [16:34] Hehehe [16:34] 12okay, Goku picked 42 [16:34] More like Privateer Mercenaries... [16:34] gundam is really stupid. Just read the review for the snes game on Somethingawful [16:34] 12so the winner of a CIC Polos shirt is.. [16:34] WC Mercenaries? how different is that from PRivateer? [16:34] my only Gundam favorite had to be 08th MS team [16:35] but like Mercenaries...you can tweak your ships for hours on end :) [16:35] WC Mercenaries would be great [16:35] yeah answer to live and all [16:35] 08th MS rocked... [16:35] Well the games were really stupid for the most part [16:35] yeah, that was pretty decent [16:35] but the games dont reflect the series very well [16:35] 47! [16:35] ... except 08th's female protagonist was voiced by Belldandy's seiyuu [16:35] Loaf...let's put together a WC Mercenaries game outline [16:35] kreg, what has been the story of your day [16:35] * PopsiclePete_work_Standoff_DLL is now known as PopsiclePete [16:35] cool [16:35] who is the winner....who is it?

[16:35] Quarto rocks [16:35] Yay [16:35] The fun thing about the Gundam web community is that they ban anyone who produces fanwork [16:35] way to go~ [16:35] yaeh Q !

[16:49] Well, it seems to be a carrier of sorts. [16:49] because it's that awesome [16:49] It carries stuff inside it? [16:49] The fighter looks odd compared to the scout and drone [16:49] It has a fighter on it... [16:49] Fighter looks almost like a Human design... [16:49] Well, the only thing we know about it is that it has fighters [16:49] 12Okay, our next door prize will be another random drawing. [16:49] yeah, the scout and drone are black and green, the fighter's just a brownish color [16:50] yay ! random goodness !

[17:32] @bob - yeah, sorry about that... brainfart [17:32] in the mail bag, u were tlaking about replaceing swears, and named BSG and "Freespace" [17:32] * Viper_CRT (Viper_CRT@e178015082.adsl.alicedsl.de) has joined #wingnut [17:33] Oh, I don't remember writing that, it should be Farscape I guess. [17:33] Freespace fans are jerks too, though [17:33] ah [17:33] Thanks, Trelane :p I happen to like Freespace AND Wing Commander. [17:33] * Vinco ducks for cover [17:33] So do I. [17:33] Hey is that Chris in Spider man suit on the CIC front page?! [17:33] yep! [17:33] * Lazy_Panda does not feel like a jerk even though he liked Freespace [17:33] lol [17:34] * TC sets mode: +v PopsiclePete_kids_to_bed [17:34] I've owned many copies of Freespace [17:34] Although I am sort of a jerk. [17:34] So it balances out. [17:34] hehe [17:34] wasn't there a WC mod for Freespace 2? [17:34] lol [17:34] Freespace was just fine. It wasn't horrible [17:34] yeah there was one I started [17:34] Well Freespace is better then X-Wing I guess, but not by much [17:34] in August 11 Standoff was begining... [17:34] I liked X-Wing :( [17:35] WC Saga [17:35] then wc saga came along and duplicated all my work and made more [17:35] WC:Saga is using the freespace engine, IIRC [17:35] freespace & fsII were ok [17:35] TIE Fighter was better than X-Wing [17:35] yes [17:35] X-Wing was great [17:35] I could be wrong, but I believe freespace came out of the old descent games which I thought were really exciting... at least for the time that they came out [17:35] TIE fighter had nicer gameplay, but killing imperials got old. [17:35] I was so big into WC2, Rebel Assult, and Descent 1 [17:35] I think they did, wasn't the first one "Descent: Freespace" ? [17:35] yes [17:35] i never liked descent... always needed a bucket next to me when playing those [17:35] Not everywhere in the world [17:35] 20 TIE Defenders against one TIE Advancd just got old [17:35] lol [17:35] * PopsiclePete_kids_to_bed is now known as PopsiclePete [17:36] back [17:36] <^Death_> "Descent: Freespace: The Great War" or somesuch [17:36] * poopnoodle (poopnoodle@ip68-101-255-246.sd.sd.cox.net) has joined #wingnut [17:36] that's a bit of a mouthful [17:36] what did I miss ? :p [17:36] Descent was a much better game than Freespace [17:36] I think Europe dropped the "Descent" in the title [17:36] someone stole your flightsuit [17:36] <^Death_> Just "Freespace" was at the time held by a disk drive utility company, IIRC [17:36] I never played Freespace, but yea... I loved Descent [17:36] in Europe it's Conflict Freepsace [17:36] So, have some of you guy tried Standoff Episode 2 yet ? [17:36] i just tried 5 seconds of it [17:36] 98 percent [17:37] nope... waiting on more prizes [17:37] lol - stll d/l [17:37] so close!!! [17:37] im downloading [17:37] You'll like it. Promise ! [17:37] do you need to finish chapter 1 before moving on? [17:37] i bet [17:37] YES, done! [17:37] cabnt wait [17:37] brb [17:37] I bet [17:37] Of course you need to have finished E1 to get the E2 missions [17:37] freespace was fun but it really didnt tell much of a story [17:37] how can you try 5 seconds?... don't tell me u skipped the intro with my beautiful music :( [17:37] I am going to D/L at work since we have a T1...I have dial up here [17:38] I've never played it, but I assume it's awful [17:38] (Freespace) [17:38] Is the opening narative supposed to stop midway through [17:38] Hey Needaham, how did you go with your new music set-up? [17:38] no, it is pretty darn good [17:38] yes, that's exactly what's supposed to happen [17:38] I thought the original was lacking in good mission design, second one was a lot like X-wing in terms of gameplay and storyline approach [17:38] you should really try it, tre [17:38] ok [17:38] yay it finished [17:38] i shall return [17:38] 12Okay, MNelson from Blacklance.org has donated two Confed patches as door prizes [17:38] <^Death_> FS1 was okay, but I felt a little unhappy about paying full new-game price for it. [17:39] I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to believe m [17:39] e [17:39] Freespace is a lot like shaving a cat. You can do it, but afterwards we'll all feel bad about ourselves. [17:39] wow [17:39] msg/ wedge009 I haven't been able to change any setup yet... I probably will get my new program later this month when I can get a discount [17:39] lol @ loaf [17:39] Somebody needs to donate a silver florin [17:39] hehehe [17:39] msg/ wedge009 hi wedge ;) [17:39] does anyone know anything Full Sail college in Winter Park, Florida? [17:39] * CasperXJ (CasperXJ@c-24-0-107-63.hsd1.tx.comcast.net) has joined #wingnut [17:39] * AD (AD@mdoc-te-244-69-74.monarch.net) has joined #wingnut [17:39] * ChrisReid sets mode: +v AD [17:39] <^Death_> Some things about it I liked, but not others. (Mission design was one of the latter items) [17:39] Yeah [17:39] freespace has gameplay and not much else [17:39] Hey [17:39] sry... I'm not used to this messaging thin :/ [17:39] msg/ LOAF Mr. Lesnick, your ice cream is here [17:39] there's no immersion there [17:39] Uh, that isn't supposed to happen is it? [17:39] thanks [17:39] what's been going on? [17:39] I did a report on it my freshman year when I was thinking of attending it [17:39] im going down there saturday for an open house on their game development course [17:39] So... while we're waiting, whose y'alls favorite Gilmore Girl? [17:40] Rory [17:40] Freespace 2 had some of the best missions in any space sim for me tho [17:40] Lorelei [17:40] The Mom [17:40] Rory [17:40] I didn't like the flight engine in Freespace 2 [17:40] she's hot as hell in sin city [17:40] mmkay, Blinocac200sx, pick a number between 1 and 59 [17:40] Never Watched Gilmore Girls [17:40] I never played more than the first couple of missions [17:40] 56 [17:40] She doesn't do group jobs [17:40] oh yeah, the Gilmore Girls movie comes out on DVD soon [17:40] Just Finished work... [17:40] Back [17:40] HeHallo [17:40] Yeah [17:40] wow [17:40] But it's a scam [17:40] that was wrong :( [17:41] Yeah, what the hell? [17:41] screw you LeHah. [17:41] oh yeah, someone said there's not really any features [17:41] Because it's a really cheap featureless version [17:41] 12alrighty, the number was chosen.. and Vinman wins a pair of Confed patches donated by Blacklance.org [17:41] How ironic [17:41] YAHHHH [17:41] But they've already announced that they're doing a super version later this year [17:41] if only there were border worlds patches :p [17:41] My suit already has a bunch a patches :p [17:41] Considering he got killed by the Lances [17:41] congrats, vinman. And nice name ;) [17:41] oh good [17:41] (I think) [17:41] I am thinking about having UBW patches made [17:42] Space Invaders is addictive. 33830. [17:42] Vinman works for Vinco [17:42] I want to see a documentary on how they made Rory's eyes even weirder-looking [17:42] Hehe :( [17:42] Vinman, I think you have a chance! ;) [17:42] I also want to see that [17:42] IS there interest? [17:42] She was a Fremen [17:42] I'm also really really hoping there's a Rory action figure in the third set [17:42] Forget about Fremen [17:42] Because a Rory Gilmore as a hooker action figure would be fantastic. [17:42] hehe yeah [17:43] -LOAF:@#WingNut- Am I supposed to be doing trivia? [17:43] -> Ops #Wingnut: now's a good time to start it back up I think [17:43] brb, root beer [17:43] 10Alllright, time for some more trivia. [17:43] WOOHOO! [17:43] oh goodie [17:43] TRIVIA!!! YAY!!! [17:43] Hm [17:43] i collect sci-fi patches - i would LOVE to get some WC patches, all i hace is the Priv2 patch [17:43] What kind of rootbeer? [17:43] yippee! [17:44] ok [17:44] For a glass, this time ? [17:44] For a TCS Eisen t-shirt, you should tell me what the name of the second Midway-class Heavy Carrier was. [17:44] i have p2 patch also got it when bought used copy of p2 gold for windoze [17:44] -Halman:@#wingnut- Hehehe, they were already in order with how loaf listed them. [17:44] heavy carrier? [17:44] 10For a TCS Eisen t-shirt, you should tell me what the name of the second Midway-class Heavy Carrier was. [17:44] Ok, I will go to the patch co [17:44] I thought they were megacarriers [17:44] IBC Root Beer [17:45] The breakfast of champions [17:45] Hehehe [17:45] You drink IBC too? [17:45] Mistrel Sea [17:45] Almost typed in the wrong window. Bet I'm too slow again. [17:45] I love how it comes in glass bottles [17:45] Megacarrier is a press name, the proper name is Heavy Carrier [17:45] It was a lousy name for a ship [17:45] Yeah, I like the bottles [17:45] 10The winner is CFF [17:45] IBC is great [17:45] answers need to be msg'd to loaf, not go in the channel [17:45] Stewart's is better [17:45] IBC also makes giant root beer bottles [17:45] Oh, I thought someone had already won [17:45] Heh, what's the sugar content in that? [17:45] ibc isnt as good as barqs [17:45] 10The answer is TCS Mistral Sea. The ship was named after the place the Concordia was destroyed in Wing Commander 3. [17:45] My bad.... >.< [17:45] all righ t CFF [17:45] har har [17:45] nice [17:45] argh, that's right. [17:46] I like IBC better than Barq's [17:46] what's the answer [17:46] I knew it, but CFF was faster :( [17:46] well done CFF [17:46] 10The Mistral Sea is mentioned in the Prophecy manual and then appears in the Shockwave Flash intro to Wing Commander Secret Ops. [17:46] Yay, at least I got it right. :) [17:46] Bah, got my seas confused and and answered Coral Sea :P. [17:46] 10Man, many people know it. [17:46] Stewart's is better than Barq's... maybe equal to IBC. [17:46] I don't know sugar content, the bottle is glass and doesn't have anything on it [17:46] 10And more than a few people said Coral Sea. [17:46] 10Several people also said Vesuvius, Eisen and St. Helens. [17:46] hehehe [17:46] Hehehehe [17:46] hehe [17:46] sorry [17:46] lol [17:46] Heh. :) [17:46] 10And one person said Archangel. [17:46] hehe [17:46] mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ibc then there is A&W [17:46] woops [17:46] I almost cannot believe my name memory worked for once ;-) [17:46] ooops ....wrong class [17:46] Coral Sea makes sense, with the first one being the Midway [17:46] I don't like A&W much either [17:46] lets do some mechwarrior trivia [17:46] That's an interesting question: would the Vesuvius be amatch for the Midway? [17:47] yes [17:47] * spiritplumber (JavaUser@cpe-66-25-78-34.satx.res.rr.com) has joined #wingnut [17:47] Depends. [17:47] no [17:47] 250 fighters againtst 80? no [17:47] No [17:47] it would kick the midway's ass [17:47] well... [17:47] Are we talking about fighters or ship on ship? [17:47] Midway is more defensive [17:47] with or without the plasma gun? [17:47] * Mike (JavaUser@pcp05069184pcs.wolfrd01.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: wcnews.com) [17:47] * Sarty (JediKnight@c-24-63-64-170.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [17:47] 10The Vesuvius carries 400 fighters, not 80. [17:47] I don't think so... the Midway's got so much more power... I don't think there's a chance [17:47] or, better, the Midway-class [17:47] Too many variables ot consider [17:47] Here's another interesting question: Will Frosty ever find true love? [17:47] of course the midway would blow it into pieces... [17:47] Err, I guess I should say that in non-blue. [17:47] the vesuvius also has those crazy super-thrusters [17:47] * deafMute (deafMute@209.135.115.113) Quit (Quit: K-lined on graz.at.Eu.UnderNet.org for being too damn SEXY.) [17:47] No [17:47] 10No, Frosty will never find true love. [17:47] Hehe [17:47] Next question ? [17:47] Hehehe [17:47] Correct [17:47] Not another Midway vs Vesuvius debate... [17:47] how cynical [17:48] Next, on Lost in Old Saybrooke [17:48] standoff dl finished, see ya [17:48] Debating is part of fandom. [17:48] * Lazy_Panda (Lazy_Panda@Hee2e.h.strato-dslnet.de) Quit (Quit: wcnews.com) [17:48] Well, I know because I asked him. [17:48] cuz even with the plasma weapon, theres no way a devastator could get close enough to a vesuvius to fire that catalyst [17:48] He will, however, find True Love, a creepy japanese game. [17:48] He said he wouldn't. [17:48] vesuvius carries more fighters? did not know [17:48] well the midway was used for what the vesuvius was built [17:48] ok how about this... [17:48] Wasn't midway suppose to act as a base of opperations as well? [17:48] The Vesuvius is a heavier carrier - it's just a big expensive normal carrier [17:48] Debate was a euphemism for mindless chatter. :p [17:48] I know because I'm from *the future* [17:48] entire confed fleet vs TCS Destiny [17:48] While the Midway has all the stuff like the marines and the science division [17:48] Constructive debate is always good.

[17:49] Neat [17:49] he didn't like the lag he was getting in WoW, so he reset the modem without at least letting me know [17:49] I'd really love that DVD [17:49] 10It's like regular Wing Commande rIV, except it's so high res that you can see all the ships are made of wood and that Pliers office is actually some guys garage. [17:49] nobody got my TCS Destiny joke *sigh* [17:49] heh [17:49] hehehe, yeah [17:49] Borton references have passed beyond Wingnut recognition [17:49] TCS Destiny? [17:49] and the intro looks like Babylon 5 [17:49] Hehe [17:49] wow herr borty [17:49] haha [17:49] What about James Boswell?

I don't know... [18:20] why is patenting force feedback a jackass-y thing? [18:20] that seems perfectly legitimate [18:20] 10Answer this question: who was the first officer of the Tiger's Claw in the Wing Commander movie? [18:21] ooooh, good one [18:21] it's more complicated than that.. a certain type of motor to engage FF was patented [18:21] 10That is to say Vinco or Fraix should answer it to braek the tie. [18:21] and certain companies that copied that got sued [18:21] jurgen prochnow [18:21] but that's about it [18:21] Dang and I just watched it 3 days ago.

I think it only uses the Registry as far as uninstall entries and position in the start menu go [18:22] Yet again! [18:22] Oh [18:22] Well, bob wins.

[18:48] How big is the Boom, Pete [18:48] one kilrah [18:49] nobody understands that yield means stop when there are oncoming cars [18:49] Darn, that's only in the novel, isn't it? [18:49] Chris : yeah :p [18:49] Hehe [18:49] I don't think it's in the novel [18:49] I think it gives the yield on the loadout screen [18:49] Or some WC3 screen shot I don't have then.

[19:45] well I know, I had school :-( [19:45] are there going to be any more prize drawings [19:45] wouldve been here otherwise! [19:45] you should've skipped school [19:45] good incouragement [19:45] I know, it only happens once a year [19:45] HAPPY B-DAY CIC look forward to seeing what ya'll do this year [19:46] just had some stuff to do there [19:46] I need a refreshment. Will I miss a prize draw if I go AFK to get one ? [19:46] Chris, bad form encouraging people to skip school [19:46] I think prizes are mostly over [19:46] This is worth it, though [19:46] school sucks [19:46] dropout [19:46] And I ask you: what has school ever done for us? [19:47] what's the alternative? miss the CIC birthday party? [19:47] I think the choice is pretty clear [19:47] is the copy of academy still open? [19:47] school pays you, at least for a lot of grad programs [19:47] that's right. tape the party :-p [19:47] yeah, I know [19:47] * ColonelCBlair (JavaUser@modem-pool-069.mis.net) has joined #wingnut [19:47] * ColonelCBlair (JavaUser@modem-pool-069.mis.net) Quit (Quit: wcnews.com) [19:47] and you meet people there you can get drunk with [19:47] and party, but also show them wing commander [19:48] I don't see how that's different from the CIC [19:48] well you have a point there bob [19:48] don;t get drunk on the pooter, vomit and keyboard don't mix [19:48] <^Death_> Getting drunk with college students doesn't seem like all that productive a use of either time or booze. [19:48] I was thinking more of Dragon*Con [19:48] well, if you goto dragon con you can get drunk there possibly, I dont know if they limit alcohol there [19:49] we should [19:49] I think Frosty would know [19:49] he may very well do!

More than a few folks aren't of legal age (21 in the US), and much of the rest aren't really interested. [19:50] (of which I know precisely one) [19:50] Hehehe [19:50] hehehe [19:50] * Dundradal (Dundradal@c-65-96-195-167.hsd1.nh.comcast.net) has joined #wingnut [19:50] hey [19:50] yo [19:50] I know an english person too, and he has beers aswell [19:50] <^Death_> speaking of drunk frat boys... [19:50] <^Death_> :) [19:50] I take it the CIC crowd is a fun group....you don't ned booze for that:) [19:50] :) [19:50] I think I need a fake ID or I need to wait a few years... I like drinking just enough to be slightly concerned, but not enough to call me an alcoholic [19:51] Nothing wrong with a nice lager and few prophecy missions [19:51] haha... I'm a frat boy... but its not the sorta frat where we're drunk frat boys [19:51] I think last year it was actually just Teonnyn that would've been under age [19:51] Well, I'm gonna idle now, more paperwork [19:51] booze is bad for you anyway, many a year have I tended bar and I have seen the adverse effects. I saw some people so often that I quite literally served them more vodka than they had hot dinners [19:51] well I'm probably under-age over in the US, but I can now legally buy alcohol [19:51] bbl, all [19:51] <^Death_> Wait, how old is Hades? [19:51] * bob is now known as bob_away [19:51] 23? [19:51] Ok, good night all [19:52] yeah [19:52] seya ! Goodnight !

[19:52] Bye [19:52] The mail bag was funny. :) [19:52] bye bob [19:52] he was 22 last year, and drinking age is like 19 in the UK [19:52] <^Death_> almost 11pm EDT [19:52] * LeHah (LeHah@24-151-1-143.dhcp.nwtn.ct.charter.com) has left #wingnut [19:52] its 18 in Australia to drink [19:52] <^Death_> (US east coast) [19:52] I really enjoy this part. Many thanks to our hosts [19:52] night [19:52] Whoppee for drunkards. [19:52] if Hades was 20 at the last dragoncon, he'd have only been 12-13 years old when he helped found the CIC [19:52] G'night Shades.

[19:53] Hey Joe [19:53] if you're dedicated to something, and you really want to do it, you can do it [19:53] It's still going, isn't it?

[19:54] <^Death_> For the most part, unless you don't obviously look under 21, and aren't trying to actually buy alcohol, there isn't too much of a concern about age... but if the cops com, it's "3 monkey" time, and you're on your own. [19:54] <^Death_> come, not com [19:55] crimeny, [19:55] how old is he? [19:55] 12 [19:55] cripes [19:55] * Dundradal (Dundradal@c-65-96-195-167.hsd1.nh.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: You Pathetic descendent of monkeys!) [19:55] for that age I wouldnt think theyd be doing that much! [19:55] like the saying, see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil right [19:55] he's small too--but he's confident that he can carry it all! :) [19:55] Ok, I think I'll be going now (unless I get tempted with another prize draw) so I hope everyone here will enjoy Standoff's episode 2... and I'll be going for sleep.

[19:57] I graduated on my birthday, kind of ruined the day for me [19:57] hey finally [19:57] heh [19:57] <^Death_> The one thing to remember, above all else, if you're going to be drinking: Should someone ask you if you're 21, unless you obviously don't look it, the answer is "yes". [19:57] of course! [19:57] I first got drunk at 14 and fell asleep in a gutter, not nice [19:58] * Fatcat (chatzilla@adsl-69-236-163-116.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net) Quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.61 [Mozilla rv:1.7.8/20050511]) [19:58] wow, I like sleeping in beds.

[19:59] where are you going chris? [19:59] maybe there should be some unofficial CIC drinking rules [20:00] next time I'm drinking I plan to toast Standoff... we could make that a rule... I dunno... just trying here.... [20:00] well kids im off to bed. school's a goin on tomorrow. have fun at D*C. im not goin even though it's only about an hour away [20:00] <^Death_> There kinda-sorta is, but most of it settles down to "bring a wingman who keeps his wits about him". Preferrably someone who'll help you OUT of trouble, not help you INTO trouble.
