Another option is Camtasia.

At first, I was dismayed. I felt sure that you would follow through on your promises of MP play for BCM. The faith I had in your love of your own game led me to believe that it would, in time, have MP support. However, after further consideration, I do not believe that your players nor fans will feel 'cheated' by the Multi-player componet being abandoned. This is mostly do to the following points: A) Any serious fans who have played BCM since it's release, and plan to take advantage of the Multi-Play features will, without a doubt, purchase BCM Gold for the additional improvements to graphics and gameplay. Due to the low cost of the new release (hey, it's not $50 US like everything else) it's merely a minor inconvience to switch to the new game for many added benifits. The $10 rebate from dreamcatcher for prior owners works as one heck of an apology. Frankly, I'm flat out amazed that they would do something like this. It actually sparks hope that there's a publisher out there that's not a complete rat-bastard. C) There really is no "C". I just thought it was silly to only have two points listed. Just pretend I had some other sweeping argument here. So, yeah. Just make sure the collision detection in BCM Gold works really, really well. Thanks for asking for our feedback. Even though it won't really influence your decision, it's nice to be asked.

Hoy! I just got finished reading 'joy ride' nice work =). Also managed to catch the back end of Pre-emptive strike (yeah, missed it =). Cool to see Pancake made it, however useless he was. *snicker* I've been totally away from general net access since around christmas, good to be back. And no, I have nothing to do with the aguava shortage in Mexico, I swear. I didn't drink *that* much tequila =P. Anyhow, back now, slowly ramping back up, (and downloading patches, but that's life with BC, neh?). Grin, I'd be willing to participate in the next RP thread, if you'll have me. Oh, and to throw my two bits in, I think blades does an excellect job moderating, hat's off to you. PS- I was sooo expecting Hamblin to just flat out ram Akira, heh. Reguardless, very cool imagery.

Moo Hoo Ha Ha.

Pancake's still kickin, but I'm still missing a pilot for IC3. Thread died for a bit, but I'll keep eyeball'n it

You're right, but does HE know that? =P heh. Just thought it'd be fun to have someone think they had a doomsday device, and then not having it work =) but it'll be neat having all the missles fall off and roll around on the ground =P

You know those days, you wake up in a good mood, and the whole day is peachy-keen. Everything goes your way. All news is good news, you're the bright boy of the hour. It ain't that day. I'm warming up shadows's seat, 'cause shadow ain't here. No one's sure what happened to him, he took off runnin earlier and hasn't been seen since. Well, Banish showed, and has pretty much taken over and is tryin to run the show. Well, sure, okay. That's fine. What do I know anyways? I'm just an ENSIGN! Yeah, an ESIGN. Ain't that a kick in the teeth? Apparently they demoted me for flattening that Commander's Pooch and never got around to telling me. I just found a memo in Shadow's pouch about it. Apparently it's been a running joke with the guys. Now I know why all those flight engineers always ignore me and laugh whenever I try to get them to do stuff. Dammit, that pisses me off. To make matters worse I think I just did a Very Bad Thing. I was so annoyed that I wasn't really paying much attention when I was trying to cross switch the manual firing relay rigging. I guess that wasn't a ground wire after all. Well, my threat board lit up light a christmas tree and my weapons loadout screen has lost it's mind. Umm.. banish is asking if we're prepped to launch.. what do I tell him? Oh crap, best to be enthusiastic, don't let 'em know that if I leggo if this wire, all the ordanance on this IC might arm and fire.. wheee! ..and considering we're still in the bays.. that's one hell of a dead man's switch.. I wonder if I can pilot this sucker one handed? Oh, **** it. I don't think I care anymore. Not like we're going to get out of this alive anyways. *sigh* Well if we're all gonna die, we might as well look good doing it. Tamara. I can't believe they killed her too. Stone? I can understand. Well, Son of a b**** must pay. But how? Hmm.. not THAT much deck plating between me and the bridge... let's see, if I get get a 23% angle off the nose.. yeah, that might just work... (chuckles grimly to himself) Looks like Ninja-man is gonna get his christmas goose early... [log off]

I think i know what the mix up is. We're talking about shadow running off to find his chick. It's Stephanie headlamps he's after, not the dipstick's git. *shrug* you could always just change that post to her viewpoint... or just kill her off in engineering and have shadow go 'Dr. StrangeLove' on us since it appears that Nicholai has pulled a casper. Just a thought.

{rp on} ------- GALCOM OPERATIONS LOG Countdown: T minus 19 hours, 50 minutes IC3 Pilot, Wendel Roberts, Callsign: Pancake GALCOM operating number: 4927111 SUBJECT: Personal log ------- Looks like some of the guys made it.. still haven't seen Shadow. Bigtone's covered in blood, but it's not his. They don't know what happened to shadow, he grabbed a blaster and took off down one of the halls.. I think he's going to get his chick. *sigh* Best of luck to him. On a lighter note I've discovered that IC-3 is STILL busted up, but this time in a good way. It seems all the safty locks are currently down for repair right now, along with the automated systems. Everything is on manual control.. this might be a good thing. That means my weapon systems are hot... even on ship. Hmm.. I think I'm going to re-orient IC-3 facing inward.. Hopefully shadow will get here and I can get back to my seat and we can bail outta here, until then though... We'll see if those ninja-boys can dodge blaster fire.

kick ass. Great read. We gonna make some insurgents go *poof* ?

{rp on} ------- GALCOM OPERATIONS LOG Countdown: T minus 19 hours, 51 minutes IC3 Pilot, Wendel Roberts, Callsign: Pancake GALCOM operating number: 4927111 SUBJECT: Personal log ------- Dear god. Things just went from bad to worse. I don't think I'm gonna make it home this time... Shadow managed to get us back last time we went out, I'll admit, the boy was good... IS good. Not was.. IS good. Damn, I hope he's still alive... but I won't hold my breath. Has everyone gone mad? Things have been bad lately, everyone has been on edge, but I never expected this. There had been talk of rebellion.. heck, I was even agreeing with them... but I never expected it to really happen. Well, it looks like it did. Those goose-steppers went nuts and killed the Capt'n. Never really liked him, but Shadow things they iced Jensen too.. I liked her. damn. Right now I'm hunched down in IC-3 wondering where the hell everyone is at. We were in the ready room when we got the word to deploy.. too bad they were waiting for us. I'm confused as to what happened then. We blew out the door and right into a squad of ninja-men. I saw black suits and ran like a little girl. I'm a pilot, not a jarhead. I like the clean death of a missle blast.. I don't want to die from a hole in my belly. I heard shadow screaming something, Bigtone whipped out that big damn knife of his and charged one. Last I saw of them. I know at least one or two made it.. I think. Damn. I hope the guys make it here alright. I'm gonna give shadow 5 more minutes then I'm going to hole up in one of the shuttles. Probably safer than here. I hope I make it.. Mom? Dad? I love you guys. This is Wendel Roberts... signing off... maybe for good. [rp off] [This message has been edited by Bad Mojo (edited 10-05-1999).]

Just to throw this out there. I'm sure I'm way off base, but this is the plot as I see it. Gamms pissed us off. We're going to do some very bad things to the gamms. However, we can't do it offically, because what we're going to do is going to be so bad. SO! Here's the skinny. We got orders to be bad bad men on our way to whatever deed most foul we're about to preform. So, we're blasting everyone so after we commit our artrocity HQ can say "SEE! TOLD YOU THEY WERE BADDIES!" and deny having anything to do with it. So, we get to be happy we hit 'em where it hurt, but we don't have to admit it, and chumika and her crew are up shinola creek. But, we'll give those dirty *******s what for. Time to stand up and spit in 'ol nick's eye one last time.. Like I said, I might be way off, but that's what it looks like we're leading into. Well.. either that or the commander heard one too many spice girl song and went completely crackers. Then it's just a mad, mad, joyride with a complete nutbag at the helm. But I'm easy either way. Although I am cuuious to see what Nicholai is gonna do with IC3... [This message has been edited by Bad Mojo (edited 09-23-1999).]

I do. Why the hell is IC 3 such a piece of crap? That thing is tainted man. Ugly.

{rp on} ------- GALCOM OPERATIONS LOG Mission Time: +22 days, 13 hours, 26 minutes IC3 Pilot, Wendel Roberts, Callsign: Pancake GALCOM operating number: 4927111 SUBJECT: Personal log ------- I hate my job. I think that sums it up nicely. I hate my job. I hate my job alot. But right now, I hate THIS BUSTED-ASS GHETTO TUGBOAT MORE!!! Why in the name of ZEUS'S BUTTHOLE did I get stuck in THIS particular piece of space junk??! I'm in the middle of combat... and I'm making a LOG entry... WHY!? BECAUSE IT WORKS! THE STUPID LOG WORKS! Why is that remarkable? BECAUSE NOTHING ELSE DOES! THAT'S WHY! The armor is shot. The shields are blown. Navcom went 5 minutes ago. Attitude thrusters are out. Main thrust injectors were blown, but I managed to rig them for full on/full off. Frankly I'm amazed that Shadow is pulling this off. Kinda strange though.. I think I'm going to get really sick if I ever stop being pissed. Shadow threatened to space me if I didn't stop screaming about 15 minutes ago. Then I told him I had bangs on the ejection system. That shut him up. Oh, and we got a full loadout, but the weapon systems fried when we tried our first launch. Oh, but that didn't stop the warheads from arming. We still got blasters though.. so, Shadow's kinda amused. Pretty pathetic. Oh, all counter measures are gone too. Right now two things work right.. The logs... And the Comm system. Guess what? THEY TURNED THE BLOODY COMMS OFF ON US!!! Sucks huh? WAIT! IT GETS BETTER! I'm sure everyone know by know that we got our high and mighty butts kicked by the Gamms, and all our high level people got toasty. So we're blasting the Gamms outta the sky right?! WRONG! We're currently fighting (or trying to when the damn weapon systems work) some fellow GALCOM pilots. Why are we fighting? Because before Nav went out, it told us to blow up a badly beaten Mk2 that was pretty much defenseless, and now we're picking on a full stocked one. Supposedly they're 'renegades'. I don't know about that. All I know is that THIER IC WORKS JUST FARKIN DANDY! I swear if shadow gets us out of here alive I'm going to buy him a keg of beer, and then I'm going to find me some flight engineers. I will kill them, and everyone who looks like them. MOTHERPUSSBUCKET! DE SHOOTIN AT US AGAIN! WE'RE HIT! WE'RE@#$#$###ZZzzzZZXX*** Th#y kiz#led the log#. Zz thin# I'm gonna cr%#!.

{rp on} ------- GALCOM OPERATIONS LOG Mission Time: +20 days, 23 hours, 11 minutes IC3 Pilot, Wendel Roberts, Callsign: Pancake GALCOM operating number: 4927111 SUBJECT: Personal log ------- Oh jeez. This is really turning into a suckfest. I just spent the last 2 hours getting interrogated about some grease monkey who happened to get herself murdered and get shoved into MY IC. Look, if I had done it, I would have put the stiff in Shadow's bunk. sheesh. Oh, and as if this mission turning into a bad slasher holo wasn't enough, we have a traitor(s) on board. It seems someone screwed with that fancy armor shadow got put on IC3. Of course, it's possible that it was shadow himself that's doing all this, kinda a 'cry for attention' "Poor little me, someone's trying to kill me" kinda thing. He's got the hurt puppy look down pat. Bet that chicka is falling for it too. Oh well. Damn, gotta go. Bigtone left me a message from a few hours ago and said there was something I had to see down in the galley. He said not to worry if I miss it because he's getting a recording? must be important. Wonder if I can score some more ale. I think I need it. [end log] [rp off] Actually, I didn't read it as having anything to do with the encription. More likely the weasel saw you and was afraid you'd seen him. Probably had no idea you sent anything, unless he had some tourture time before ya got stuffed in IC3. But seriously. You're trying to tell me this jarhead and his three buddies witnessed the murder, formed a conspiracy, hacked the most important subsystems on the ship, compromised life support of a combat vessel in wartime, then removed all trace of thier identities, then said 'oh, hey, if you ask me, I'll give you the magic tooth'.... ???? *cough* They're marines. They are the security force on this ship. If they see an intruder or other badguy, they're supposed to SHOOT HIM. *BANG* (thud) He's pushing flowers. As it is, they're all traitors now, and I hope they all fry for risking the lives of everyone on the ship. Sheesh, if it's high treason to send an EMAIL, what do you think they'l do to someone who compromised the security and lifesupport systems? Throw a tea party? Sorry, but if it sticks like that I forsee pancake going insurgent and throwing some fusion blocks in the fuel storage. [This message has been edited by Bad Mojo (edited 08-30-99).]
