Parias like pretty explosions. Parias want more pretty explosions! Yay! *Claps gleefully and bites the head off of a garden gnome* ------------------ Cmdr.

So, uh, who's the guy that brought the camera along, and when do us unfortunate non-attending saps get to see the pictures? ------------------ Cmdr.

Well, I've got a copy coming in, and you can be pretty sure I'll be at the very least giving BC3k a passing mention in my review ------------------ Cmdr.

I write fiction, code HTML, fiddle with my joystick, and make occasional trips to the fridge.. oh, and I've mastered the fine art of sitting through the entire day Aside from being on the computer, that's about all I do... ------------------ Cmdr.

Welcome to the world of System Shock Rippen! I happen to have the original System Shock sitting around.. alas, I've had some troubles getting the sound working, and it's the floppy version, but if you want it (and I'd imagine you do, it's a freaking classic) give me a yell on ICQ (1293359) and I'll see if I can send it to ya. Most stores probably don't even have it in stock anymore, so I'd imagine it'd be a smidgen difficult to purchase it normally without breaking your neck from being on the phone so much.. Oh, and if you're ever up for a multiplayer co-op game of SS2 sometime, give me a yell, I'll see if I can yank up 400 megs of room to get this baby installed. ------------------ Cmdr.

I believe this issue has been covered a few times before, so be sure to check previous threads. ------------------ Cmdr.

Well Dama, you could always go check out the fiction series I started at powerpub.net (Bestia in Mutatio).. of course, it's a tad difficult to do that without being on the computer.. How exactly did you end up in this situation in the first place? I generally pass out if I'm away from the comp for more than 2 hours.. sleep non-withstanding ------------------ Cmdr.

I think that was covered in another thread Tac.. But anyways, stuck-up drill Sergeant or no, if I feel the CO needs to get spaced, massacred, or just plain abandoned, he'll still be out there! Of course, I can be subversive if needed.. Me: "I need you to beam down to the planet we're orbiting!" CO: "But sir, it's swarming with Galcom troops!" Me (scratching head): "Uh, yea, well, I'll be sending in support, you'll be there to.. uh, inspire them." CO (saluting): "Righty-o sir!" Me (cackling evily and making a Mr. Burns impression): "....Excellent." CO: "Say something sir?" Me: "What? Oh, no, carry on." ------------------ Cmdr.

Actually SC, Klingon Academy isn't gold yet, but it's expected to be done some time this month... *defty leaps into a nearby duct to avoid being shoved out the airlock* And anyways, if it was gold, you'd definately know, because the developers would be publicly complaining about me constantly pestering them for a review copy.. Speaking of review copies, I've got one of Terminus coming in, so I'll be sure to let you all know of my impressions once the ever-lovable Fed-Ex guy shows up. Tachyon.. got a copy of that too, and I really enjoyed it. Took me a couple of days to beat, as for Starlancer, I hear people beat it in a single day and that it only has 24 missions.. bleh! Haven't really heard much about Vanguard before.. probably because I'm lazy From what I'm hearing here though, sorry to see it canned.. ------------------ Cmdr.

Woa woa Bumper, hang on a minute! Not to get off-topic of the purpose of the thread or something, but I haven't heard of any error in Windows Explorer that would force you to have to format your hard drive... and doing that is a pretty serious thing! What exactly happened there? ------------------ Cmdr.

Heh, stole my words there Rattler. I'm having a tough decision deciding between it, and a pic of a Mad Cat from Mechwarrior 4. Eventually the former won over ------------------ Cmdr.

Lum the Mad is great! Although I got a little confused at first, since he's named after my favorite anime chick, which opened up a few questions of mine.. of course, I quickly learned the true source of his name As for Jeff K, for those not in the know, he was actually a creation by Lowtax to be a spoof on the average day l33t h@x0r d00d. Eventually his popularity grew to an all-time high, and before he knew it, he was doing actual interviews with game developers! Heh, he's got a few posted on the site if you look around.. funny stuff. ------------------ Cmdr.

First off, above all else, remember to read the FAQ and search the forums extensively before posting, because chances are you'll probably find your answer already. That being said, can you elaborate a little? What's your exact problem? Saying "It doesn't work" doesn't exactly help much.. heh Also, to check which version you're running, hit Control+V whilst in-game. ------------------ Cmdr.

*Adds another notch onto his list of reasons to dislike living up in Canada* Since I can't really make it down there, I just have one thing to say: Let camera click! I want to see a full barrage of pictures after this is over, and stories all around! ..Or at least the stories.. man, I really gotta move down there sometime.. ------------------ Cmdr.
