I'll hunt around for it, thanks SC! ------------------ Cmdr. Parias ICV-Galatae, Sanctuary Storage Facility (Sygan) Balor Fleet ICQ 1293359 Staff member at HardNews

I'm running WinMe.. I like the new/improved features, plus my performance is a little better. My only big beeyatch (what, no more of the 5-lettered dog word? Bah!) is the fact that Gill Bates felt it necessary to negate DOS support. You won't believe the hair-pulling I had to do to flash my BIOS the other day (whilst installing my 40 gig HD).. since my other system has Win98, I had to make a Boot disk off of that, then load my essential drivers (CDROM, SB Live DOS stuff, etc) onto there. It's messy, and keeps moaning about a "Data error reading Drive A" every now and then, but at least I can actually use pure DOS Anyone else planning to upgrade to WinMe should keep this in mind if you plan to use DOS again.. (hey, I KNOW I ain't the only one who still plays Crusader: No Remorse!) ------------------ Cmdr.

Easy there tiger, I ran the game for a hellishly long time on my P233MMX w/ 64 megs of RAM and a Voodoo 1 card, ran pretty damn good if I do say so myself. Of course, now I've got a system twice as fast, with a Voodoo 3... ------------------ Cmdr. Parias ICV-Galatae, Awaiting final assignment Balor Fleet ICQ 1293359 Staff member at HardNews

Well, lets just say that it's a pity my radioactive garden gnomes are down at Sierra right now, we could be partying all night! ..Then again, maybe it's for the best, considering the fines I'd get... ------------------ Cmdr. Parias ICV-Galatae, Awaiting final assignment Balor Fleet ICQ 1293359 Staff member at HardNews

Hmm, I might have to start dabbling one of these days too.. of course, the best I could do would most likely be making an inter-galactic ATV that does nothing more than ram asteroids repeatedly... if even that. Actually, the farthest I'd probably get is opening up a pre-made script, staring at it for 30 minutes, and finishing up with a gutteral "Duuuuhhhhhhh....." ------------------ Cmdr. Parias ICV-Galatae, Awaiting final assignment Balor Fleet ICQ 1293359 Staff member at HardNews

Done and done! I'd cross my fingers, but they've been crossed all day from my hair-pulling experience attempting to install my 40 gig HD.... ------------------ Cmdr. Parias ICV-Galatae, Awaiting final assignment Balor Fleet ICQ 1293359 Staff member at HardNews

Wow! A fresh new 40 GB HD, and now this! I know which game is going to have at least 20 gigs all to itself... ------------------ Cmdr. Parias ICV-Galatae, Awaiting final assignment Balor Fleet ICQ 1293359 Staff member at HardNews

Eggcellent. Everything is falling into place... *Rubs his hands together and cackles, like all evil people do* ------------------ Cmdr. Parias ICV-Galatae, Awaiting final assignment Balor Fleet ICQ 1293359 Staff member at HardNews

Oopsies, fixed it ------------------ Cmdr. Parias ICV-Galatae, Awaiting final assignment Balor Fleet ICQ 1293359 Staff member at HardNews

It looks like Sierra is still maintaining it's crusade to make thousands of people hate them. Check this thread Excuse me a minute, I have to go stop my radioactive garden gnomes before they do something everyone will regret.. like hit Sierra HQ with a nuclear warhead or something. ------------------ Cmdr.

Don't worry Cruis.In, my radioactive garden gnomes have inside information! They report that the demo will be released on exactly ***CENSORED***. So just hang in there, soon we shall all feel the power! [This message has been edited by APersonWhoIsCertainlyNotParias (edited 10-03-2000).] ------------------ Cmdr.

Some details are here... I'm happy Lowtax got the hell away from them before loosing his site. Although I'm not sure what's gonna happen with VoodooExtreme... I MUST HAVE MY DAILY NEWS DOSAGE! Nyyyaaarrrghhh! Seriously though, I pretty much saw this coming for awhile now. It seems like a lot of the sites didn't even get any notice though. Sure would suck to loose all your work because of one stupid company... ------------------ Cmdr. Parias ICV-Galatae, Awaiting final assignment Balor Fleet ICQ 1293359 Staff member at HardNews

Happy B-Day Eclipse! ------------------ Cmdr. Parias ICV-Galatae, Awaiting final assignment Balor Fleet ICQ 1293359 Staff member at HardNews

Yup, I've been popping in and out of the game since it's very first beta version, where each side had only 3 ships (except for those Quantar *******s and their funky spider-ship-thingie). I just keep getting bored of the game though. You trade and try to avoid getting killed. Yay. It's not really all that much fun, because once you're a rich *******, there's nothing else to do. ...But Gallion, you didn't like I-War? Gasp! Actually, I think the game featured an "Arcade" mode, where one could float about like in Freespace 2 if it was desired... I couldn't imagine playing the game with it though. It uses Newtonian physics for a reason, and one I shamelessly abuse at every possible moment ------------------ Cmdr.

I got the game on Monday. Beat it Tuesday morning. 'Nuff said. I think this sums it up nicely Damn good game while it lasts though. ------------------ Cmdr. Parias ICV-Galatae, Awaiting final assignment Balor Fleet ICQ 1293359 Staff member at HardNews

Ahh Netscrape, the bane of webmasters everywhere... looks good though Tac ------------------ Cmdr. Parias ICV-Galatae, Awaiting final assignment Balor Fleet ICQ 1293359 Staff member at HardNews [This message has been edited by Parias (edited 09-27-2000).]

Despite the fact that I'm living an extreme distance away from the likely location of said party, I'll be certain to dispatch a patrol of radioactive garden gnomes to keep the peace and steal everyone's hats. ------------------ Cmdr.

Not to worry boys, my crack team of commandos are right behind you! Damn though, it's sweet to see those vehicles up close.. ------------------ Cmdr. Parias ICV-Galatae, Awaiting final assignment Balor Fleet ICQ 1293359 Staff member at HardNews

Hoo hoo baby! NOW we're talking! ------------------ Cmdr. Parias ICV-Galatae, Awaiting final assignment Balor Fleet ICQ 1293359 Staff member at HardNews

LOL, I was expecting this card to pop up sooner or later on SA... The "Other Info" area pretty much reflects me on an average morning.. still think he shoulda used the Tuvok picture though ------------------ Cmdr.

Gum: I'd assume so, as, if I recall correctly, there are a few vessels out there capable of holding 16 Interceptors I like the way the design is layed out though, you can easily see the status of each ship. Really nice. ------------------ Cmdr. Parias ICV-Galatae, Awaiting final assignment Balor Fleet ICQ 1293359 Staff member at HardNews
