This was a couple years ago for me. Finally got back to college and graduated with honors. Life is a fun journey. Haven't had a bunch of time for games until recently, since I was working and going to school full-time as well as being a single parent. Now that I'm 33 enjoying my mid-life crisis and riding my Harley Davidson around.

Doing pretty well. My oldest son is in high school now, and my daughter is in 2nd grade. Just life getting busy. Hard to believe I've been registered on here for 14+ years.

Seems like it works. Long time no see everyone. SC, you and I go back and forth on Twitter periodically. And on the SA forums. @lljksilk

Far more talented than me.

I'm still alive. Haven't been on here in a while. How goes it?

Kick ass to see people rolling back in.

Good to see you back Aleksey. Been a while.

Hey guys. Not sure what we've got left, but putting this out there if anyone wants to report in and group up.

Looking good.

Been a while... clicked 'like'

If you want to increase the difficulty, you can export your ship designs and allow the AI to use them. The vanilla designs are easily countered and the AI does not generate new ones without your help. Give the AI better ships, learn to counter, repeat. Also... wow, I haven't been on here in forever. Surprised I remembered my password.

Howdy folks. Checking in. More RL drama has been keeping me away from gaming in general.

IANAL but trademarks can be lost if you don't actively defend them. I'd just have your attorney send them a friendly notice that 3000AD is trademarked and ask them if they could rename it something else.

Eh, I've owned all three and the only thing I use my PS3 for is blu-ray movies. The gaming situation is horrible, most online games work better on the 360, the 360 comes with a headset so I can actually talk with my friends, the 360 matchmaking is easier, and so many other things I could name. Most PS3 games are average, and none are really 'system sellers' unless you are an absolute fan of the series (MGS4). MGS4 wasn't even a game as far as I was concerned... just an interactive movie. For every hour of gameplay I had the controller sitting in my lap for 45 minutes watching a movie. Then it'd give me 30 seconds of gameplay and then play another 15 minute movie. The two games I've enjoyed on the PS3: Warhawk, and Uncharted. Otherwise the situation has been pretty lame. Where is Sony's "Home"? Isn't it 2-3 years late now? Where are Sony's system sellers? White Knight Chronicles? Sony is taking so long to get their act together, that by the time they do surpass the 360 we'll have the XBox 720 with Indigo-Ray drive that can play Blu-Ray, HDDVD, LaserDisc, and 8Track tapes via a hologram loader. The 'free' PSN isn't comparable to XBL in terms of what you get. Right now the 360 feels like the more complete experience for gaming. PS3 for movies. Wii for Mario/Zelda/Metroid fans.

Talk about threadnomancy (and a huge coincidence). After some recent events, I had decided to come back here and reflect on the past and noticed someone was reading this thread also. Much to my surprise, they posted as well. My children are fine, and I have a daughter now, as well as a new wife. (One tends to follow the other) My ex-wife has been convicted of Aggravated Child Abuse and Child Neglect in the state of Florida, and is awaiting sentencing in October. She faces 30 years in state prison. Reading this thread again, I sort of shake my head at the bullet I dodged by her acting psychotic instead of friendly. I'll check in at some point for replies, but you can contact me via myspace (myspace.com/danielcooper2006) or YIM dc2005silk or AIM dc2004silk or MSN ([email protected]) or email (mcooper7470 ((AT)) charter.net) God bless.
