  1. Man, do those all hit a raw nerve, except like Emmet, my 3 and 1.5 year-old daughters aren't embarrassed yet. Except the 3 year-old corrected my French once! Who's embarrassed now? It's funny, you come into this world, you drink, throw up and piss and shit yourself constantly. Go out and celebrate your 30th now and realise things haven't changed that much in 30 years.
  2. Ok guys, first of all, chill out a bit! Paddy doesn't like people getting all shitty for his benefit. pkzip, I do not have a free server, or free local connections, therefore I would have to pay quite a bit for a @6-7hr phone call, even overnight (hence, 3rd world) and being a graduate student, money is one thing I don't have a great deal of (trying to save up for BCM y'see). Also, I had Getright, but it kept crashing out on me and the only large download I did with resumptions etc was completely screwed and wouldn't even extract properly. Therefore I'm pretty sceptical about long downloads. I'm not in any great hurry to play it, and am quite willing to be patient and hang out for snailmail. SteveM, sorry I didn't reply to your PM, I forgot to take my log-in password home at the w/e. Someone in Ireland is already sending me the demo from PCZone, but thanks for the offer anyway. I have played quite a few space sims, Freespace 1 & 2, all the X-wings, one of the Wing Commanders, Starlancer, Tachyon etc. What will be different about BCM? Will the 1st person aspects be as good as a top-flight FPS? I can't wait to take out some planetary defences, land my ship, then take on some meanies face to face. For me, this switching from sim to shooter is the most revolutionary aspect of the game, if it is done well. Will you be able to get out of your ship and inspect the damage yourself? For example, if your engines took a nasty hit, will you nacelles be smoking and fire-damaged? I've never played any of the Battlecruiser series, so I am totally unfamiliar with the command aspects of the game. I wait in eager anticipation........
  3. Unfortunately, neither PCZone or PC Gamer are available in the 3rd world (ie Switzerland). Would it be really out of order to ask someone to send me their demo-disc (once they've finished with it of course)? I will send it back on request. Come on chaps, help out a desperate ex-pat here.
  4. Being a poor soul with only a 56kps modem, It'll take me for ever to download the demo for BCM. Is there anywher I can find out in advance which UK/German mags will have it on their demo cds? Failing that, anyone wanna make me a copy and send it? (Probably not, does that violate copyright?) I'm looking forward to this game so much, as I've always dreamt of a game which combines my 2 favourite genres, FPS and Space sim. I hope it's a good as they promise. Also, any idea on a release date in Europe? Thanks in advance for you help.
