I normally put something like Jedi or Moon and Sun Occult. So far those nice people on the Census and poll haven't called up to verify this. On a serious note, I think the reason for these questions is for market research purposes. This will give the indication of what type of people likes this game, what age group and so on. It is rather important to do this so they can make more quality products in the future.

quote:see what I mean, folks? I just saw this on that VE thread, posted by Shirley aka Fabio I missed all the action last night as I needed an early night. When I left there was only 112 post. But yeah flushing everything out and reregistering when the game comes out is a good idea. I guess you might be able to tell who it is by observing their conduct on this forum board and little traits like typos and grammar style. But then again this will only work for frequent posters, not lurkers.

Ep5 get at least a t/b 1 gig as the price difference is almost negligable. If you want though I can give you my k62 500 cpu for the moment till you can get enough money for the 1 gig.

quote:BTW, Charles, if you were hoping to fool anyone that way, it'd never work. All you'd have to do is wait for the posting to start in a political thread and someone to throw a "grenade" topic like gun-control. Heehee Lol. I couldn't say it better myself.

Unfortunately I had to make sacrifices on less important priorities (food, shelter, etc.)... Sell a kidney. My brother suggested that to me when I was broke. Anyhow this game will rock and I have got my a$$ in gear....2 month ago actually.

quote: FEDEX just dropped off my 7500 and 8500 units He just got it not long ago. All I care about now is the GeForce3 Ti 500. Anybody wants a Kyro2 card? This time it hasn't been overclocked as there is no such feature. Oh there is also an AMD K6-2 500, guaranteed to run at 550. Just don't ask me what happened to the memmory.

Hi where did you get the idea that we need to order at least $250. Just go back to the front page, click on to sales info and order 'in house at bmt micro' (it's the small blue banner). It's around $50.....don't know how much in Euro. I think I know what you did...you went in straight to BMT Micro website. Sorry. [ 10-01-2001: Message edited by: Fendi ]

I read the article just a few seconds ago. It's a good read but you're right the image (words) is a bit blurry but it's still readable. By the way I like the colour of your SL500. Oh yeah......who's the cute chick in the picture?

GeForce3 Ti 500 is the card that we should be waiting for. I like Saitek's feel and everything but I've got this stupid 'hands of destruction' syndrome. I didn't like the 'feel' of the original M$ Precission Pro so thats why I bought another Saitek Cyborg 3D Digital. Come to think of it 6 month usage by me is like 5 years usage for an average person.

quote:Hehe, that reminds me of the story where British Aerospace (I think) were testing cockpit windscreens against bird impact for Boeing. The standard protocol was to fire a chicken carcass from a cannon at certain velocities. The first tests were a little worrying, because even at relatively low speeds the carcass was smashing the windscreen, destroying the pilot's seat and imbedding itself in the bulkhead at the rear of the cockpit You guys are scaring me. At least there's no aircrafts made out of cloths yet is there? quote:And Fendi, I will get you as many numbers as you want I travel (long haul) on average twice a year (to and fro). So that's four long haul flights a year at least. Oh yeah I like them to be of the 5'5'' to 5'7'' region as I'm a short guy.

*Stares at pictures and enters dreamland* Ah can't wait to have that box and it's contents to fly through my letterbox and into my lap in the morning of the 17th. Then I will peel the outer plastic packaging very slowly and once done proceed to install the game. Then I will place the box in a safe place so my kid won't get her greasy hands on it. *wakes up from dream* Wait a second I didn't order the game with the box included.

Damn things just get better and better here. Multiplayer with scripts? People pay monthly for that kind of online game. If any of you guys are thinking why I haven't registered in the fleet DB yet is because I have yet to figure out a name yet. It's been like this for the past month now. I know what I want to be but I don't know a cool name yet.

An online-phone directory might work. Thats the first thing I did when I was looking for a friend of mine when I lost contact with her for 3 years. If that fails and you got some extra cash burning in your wallet, try a private investigator.

I remember playing carrier command when I was a wee lad. I miss that game they don't make em like they used to.......Wait a second, isn't BCM just like carrier command but in space with better graphics and a bigger scope?

I'm sorry I didn't know about the prices and the money rates in Canada so I apologize once again for my post. Here in England the price in BMT Micro is about the average price of any games here so I always took it for granted and never thought of other currency's difference. Sorry.

I thought most of us here who posted has preordered already so we have nothing to fear.

Open Topic seems like a nice enough software to navigate in. I say go for it. I also agree with the register using the Product Number itself. It has several advantages like weeding out idiots and also it enables you to identify pirated software. I'm quite surprised why not many developers are doing this already.

He probably changed to a different alias after the verbal assaults on him. SC's right he's a waste of time...I'd have a better chance of teaching my 2 year old daughter differential equations than to reason with him. But then again what am I saying.....HIT HIM WHERE IT HURTS!!

I'm still a puppy eh guys? If you think I'm bad you should hear what my wife has to say about turning 30 next year. Oh well at least she's a lot happier now that her computer has been upgraded to an 800Mhz P3. The only bad thing is she's also got her eye on BCM so I guess that means we'll be arguing constantly on who gets to play it. Could be worse though she could've done the Op Flashpoint episode again. OMG I forgot to buy my joystick!! I'm going senile...noooooooooo!!!

Thanks Wolferz I'm okay I got over it ages ago honest... but at the moment all I can think of is what will happen in 16 days time. I soooo much agree with the hell part in your Haiku(?). By the way shall we start another countdown for Battlecruiser 4000AD Gold date?

Vehicles I had: 1. Kawasaki KIPPS (friend gave it to me, sold it after a friend died on his bike) 2. Ford Capri (don't laugh it was my first car for 50 pounds, clutch cable kept snapping) 3. Ford Orion (sold) 4. Porsche 924 auto(It would have cost me more to fix it than the car itself at 2000 pounds) 5. Proton Persona/Wira auto (Wedding present still parked in Malaysia) 6. Alpha Romeo 164 (Bought it with gambling money....sold) 7. Nissan 200SX (Offers anyone?) Need a bigger car in case wifey wants another baby. But SC wins with his Ferrari any day
