THEY COULD EVEN INVALIDATE YOUR BCM SAVE GAMES!!!Well this geek only made a stupid VBS/macro virus, as it seems it's more and more popular. VBS/macro autoextecution in Word or Outlook Express makes it very easy to play with your computer, and spread quickly viruses. We had that "Mafiaboy" guy over here that disrupted the amazon, ebay and cnn websites (I think) for a few hours, causing a few million dollars in damage. He only used a program made for that purpose by REAL hackers and such. Real viruses are rare nowadays.

Cool! Question : will the patch texture blending revision will also fix the terrain texture level blending for us gf2 users? (as mentionned in the vcf under rc1) Eye? Cool, gamespy sucks and I like Eye alot [ 05-02-2002, 17:47: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]

LOL

Sorry for you... I wish you will not have too much trouble.

Finally! someone coming up with a good idea! In fact, it makes me think about BCO. Remember the old BBS game Tradewars 2002? Now Realm Interactive is working on a new MMOG called Tradewars : Dark Millenium (this time in 3D ) Interview at HomeLan Fed Realm Interactive website Tradewars official website Finally, BCO might get a decent competitor. Looks promising Here's a snip from the interview HomeLAN - The game allows for both space exploration as well as planetary exploration. How is this actually handled in the game? David Adams - When you first begin the game you are restricted to planetary exploration, similar to other online RPGs. As your character progresses, you will have the opportunity to purchase your first spaceship. This is a pivotal moment in the game, as it allows the player to expand the scope of their exploration to space and other distant planets. It also unlocks additional activities and missions that are only available to players who own their own spaceship (inter-stellar trade missions, sector patrol missions, etc.) [ 04-30-2002, 13:13: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]

They suck the oooomph right out of my 56k modem. I'd rather see a banner or an article wrapped around a big ad than a pop up. Why don't you go to www.panicware.com and try out their free pop up stopper? The Mozilla browswer has a built-in popup-stopper. Blocks any automatic popups, leaving intentionally-triggered ones active.

I wanted to get Solar Winds ep2, but it's only available in pack of ten games for 20 buck. I just want Solar winds! I had ep1 on a diskette a few years ago

Bleh. Read about it a few days ago on VE... that sucks. I never go on that website though.

I'd rather not hand my ship to my crew... once I was trading in a shuttle, and left my sunflash to float not too far from ISS station (instead of leaving it in the middle of a desert) ... An enemy corsair attacked my ship and practically destroyed it.. until I grabbed the fighter with my tractor beam And I DID ordered my CC to attack the fighter.... Major damage, oh boy...

You're not an indie Nova!

Was it voluntary? Congrats.

36.. reason : complete format / OS reinstall on 2 computers. One is much slower than the other, takes more time.. time to waste..

quote: ... and let's not forget "Win-D": minimize every app and jump to the desktop. I can't get through a single day without doing that about a dozen times.I right click on the taskbar and select minimiza all windows... I make alot of typos, so using too many shortcut keys is more problematic than moving the mouse around In rts games I use the shorcut keys when I want to queue alot of stuff in a factory or build several iterations of the same structure.

Now he shows only bcm shots, but he still has the wrong release date and is still talking about BaM [edit: Hey! how come my sig lost all it's formatting?!?! GRRR! [ 04-26-2002, 12:25: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]

Because when you buy a game, you buy a single license... and legally, when you get rid of the game, you get rid of the license. So you have no (legal) right to donwload the game even if you had it This legal crap was brought to you by Epsilon 5 [ 04-26-2002, 12:21: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]

Talking about freeware... as I was surfing VE I just tumbled on something VERY interesting! The complete Freespace 2 source code for download
