Sounds good to me, I was wondering what had happened to this as well ------------------ Cmdr.

Okay, I admit it, I laughed. Only a little! Honest! *Cowers under a table in fear, cuddling his radioactive garden gnomes* Seriously though, I've found FPS Survivor hilarious since day one, and this one wasn't really all that different, despite the SC's vague appearance. I just found it funny, laughed, and moved on. I'd rather take in the humor of something than flame someone to death ------------------ Cmdr.

Gotcha and understood SC, I just finished reading all the posts on there.. like I always say, the gaming community is a pack of rabid wolves. Akira: Hahah! ------------------ Cmdr.

Screw the Galatea, give me the GTVA Colossus any day! Also Eclipse, note how he said main weapon. Based on the specs, there's definately weapons for taking down smaller fighters. ------------------ Cmdr.

I'll get crackin on mine now... hmph, can't simply put in "A hell of a lot" for the "hours played" field.. it's not like I had some kind of stopwatch with me or something! Wow though, that "Louis" guy seems like quite a character.. I'm not normally one to tell another to get a life, but seriously, it seemed like this guy made it his life purpose to be an utter ass. ------------------ Cmdr.

Well, I gave the demo a quick whirl and my eyes nearly glazed over from the background. It looked like a squarish-box used for the gameplay area with a background crudely pasted onto there. Maybe there's just some kind of graphics setting I missed or something... I'll give the demo another whirl soon. Gameplay seems to be entertaining though.. for those days where your brain has exploded and you don't want to worry about any damn Shivan Juggernauts, Torpedo Bombers, insane asteroid Barons, or those nutty Gammulans (anyone who can think of the games I'm all referring to gets a free TDOGNA - Temporal Denial of Garden Gnome Attack ) Like I said though, I'll have to give the demo another whirl to get a full idea of it. ------------------ Cmdr.

Don't forget me Mike, I've got a black box-o-super-fast-pr0n-downloading sitting on my comp as well ------------------ Cmdr.

Freespace 2 (beat it for the 33rd time) Terminus (well, I actually only played it for 5 days, just long enough to write a review) ST: Elite Force demo Thandor demo (another quality RTS game from a German developer.. www.thandor.com if anybody's interested, it's addictive as crack) Metal Fatigue Klingon Academy Tachyon (beat it for the 8th time recently) System Shock 2 co-op (addictive as crack) Counter-Strike and Firearms mods for Half-Life Lets-read-comics-from-my-overstuffed-humor-folder-when-bored (not really a game, but entertaining nonetheless) Aaaand that about roughly sums up the stuff I've done over the past month or two.. I probably missed a few things though ------------------ Cmdr.

Figures, guess I'd better get crackin with Alladvantage then Definately looking forward to it though.. this'll probably stir up quite a few reactions! ------------------ Cmdr.

Well, considering how Freespace 2 is eating up 1.2 gigs of room (do NOT ask how I managed to pull that up, it's not a pleasant process), I'll probably end up temporarily banishing that from my HD.. it might be considered overkill, but this game is gonna get all the swap-space it needs, and then some! Would I be correct in assuming that there will be a downloadable version of this demo available for us pr0n pipe users SC? Or am I just psychotically insane? ------------------ Cmdr.

For one thing, you're not going to be running from one base to another, clean clear across the planet, while toting a rocket launcher, a bag of grenades, a sniper rifle, a backpack of ammo, a half-eaten sandwich and a prayer scrawled on a piece of bubble gum wrapper. Gee, thanks SC, after reading that I was laughing so hard that I accidentally stamped all over one of my radioactive garden gnomes, and now the rest of them are chanting strange words and waving coke cans in the air. Seriously though, great interview, this outta turn a few eyebrows, at least ------------------ Cmdr.

Heh, same deal here Tac.. when I've got Freespace 2, BC3k, Half-Life, and a few others sitting on my HD, I just see no reason to play that game anymore.. lost interest in it. Have to admit though, it was good while it lasted! ------------------ Cmdr.

A fine article it was too Mike ------------------ Cmdr. Parias Spectre Fleet Chief Engineer, Starstation Destiny ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "Next time you're passing by and feel like dropping in, keep passing by untill you get to a river, and THEN drop in." -Jake Logan

As I said SC, while I'm a part of the community here, my reviews and previews don't really tie in here at all. Despite what I may have said, I still had every intention of giving this game a fair trial before reviewing it, which is why I took as much time as I could to play the game to death before starting on my review. Yeah, I love BC3k, and yeah, I'm eagerly awaiting BCM like everyone else on this forum. And yes, I did indeed state before-hand that the game would be getting a bad review, which as I now understand was probably a mistake on my part. When I made that initial comment, I was referring to the fact that the demo had flushed my registry and the way the box had shown up (along with the fact that I heard on the Station Terminus forums that I wasn't the only one who had it showing up in that condition) were both facts that had me already concerned about this game. But those were both minor issues in my review, and I believe I stated pretty clearly what issues I had. And like I keep saying to other people, I gave it a 5, instead of my original idea for a 4 or 3, since it _DOES_ have a few good points to it, and I admit that I had fun with it for the first little while. I stand by my review of the game. And yeah, you're correct SC, believe me, if my review was as biased against it as most make it out to be, I wouldn't be with the page anymore Well, on the plus side, at least I now know how sites like EvilAvatar have it. Anybody remeber the riot that ensued after his Tribes review? *Grin* ------------------ Cmdr.

Trust me Milod, despite what I said on here, I had every intention of giving the game a fair chance.

(rp) Sure, tell that to your C.O. when we try to roll a sweet lil "unarmed medical transport" past Galcom HQ! Hah, our work will be done for us right there, all we need is just one trigger-happy Commander to get court-martialed, and the rest of you will straighten up so tight, we'd have to poke you in the eyes and give you the feared atomic wedgie before you actually retaliated!

Heh, I'd have avoided it if I could Gallion, but I've got one of those damned hard drives that mysteriously run out of room the very second you turn your back.
