Oh look n00bs - damn, I better hurry up with the mp patch, before they too become vets! hehe, thanks for the support guys. Keep buying the BC games and we'll keep developing them.

NOW you understand my jubilation at being home alone. I've got a 16 unit entertainment center and the closest I get to hearing a peep out of it, is from the TV's own built-in speaker. Frigging ridiculous I tell you. I even bought a wireless pair of headphones - but that's not the same thing. And because the baby (well, she's a toddler now really) hangs around with me a lot; if her mom ever pops into that media room and sees anything other than Barney, Teletubbies (kill me now please!!), some kids TV program or one of her Baby Einstein tapes, I'm toast.

Well this is annoying if you have multiples save games in all slots, because you cannot delete a slot for replacing its contents, you must delete all your profile. Oh, and i had experienced in the roster and in the CSD that i had negative experience points ! Cheers. 1. Is not possible because the file is deleted when you select it. In fact, I have a hard time understanding whatever it is you are saying. Try explaining it someone who understands it. 2. Whats wrong with negative EPs?

Gamespot have their review up. If you own the game and have played in mp, you should see first hand what happens when you try to shoe-horn such an advanced feature into a game.....just before you ship it. Since day one, they said NO mp would be in the game. What happened? A few months toward the end of dev, it was suddenly going to make it in. Probably under pressure from Activision and/or the fan base. The result? Its a blantant failure and should have been left out and the game shipped earlier.

I wouldn't worry too much about that Kush. You know me. It gets outta hand of blatantly off-topic, I'll just kill the thread.

The strangest thing happened to me this past Sunday. The other-half and the baby are away on a trip visiting family, so I'm home alone. I went into my back room where I have all my gadgets and electronic gear; looking for the box for my G400 Marvel board. I was planning on grabbing some game video footage (ATI were nice enough to send me a Radeon 8500DV board!), so I had replaced this board and all its gadgets (breakout box, cables etc. Anyway, to cut a long story short, the box for my Pioneer CLD D504 laser disc player caught my eye. I had been planning on flogging it on eBay a while back, but kinda couldn't be bothered. I have over 100 laser disc movies in several plastic crates in there as well. So, I took this box down and reached for the Matrox box. After putting the video card away, instead of putting the Pioneer back on the shelf - it hit me! I was home alone and could make as much noise as I bloody well wanted!!. Just imagine this : Me. Home. Alone. No chance of "...TURN THAT DOWN!!!! shocking the living piss outta me. So, I took the box into my media room and plonked it down on the carpet. I then proceeded to connect it to the video 3 port (I've got the VCR on vid1, the DVD on component vid1, the cable receiver on vid2 + optical and the XBox on the front mounted vid4) which was free. After fiddling around with the Panasonic PT-56WX51 (HDTV projection screen TV) settings, I went back into my library to hunt down a laser disc to play. From this list, guess which movies (some are THX encoded others are just standard AC3*)I watched and at volume level 50 (enough to bring the house down - trust me on this). Aliens Under Siege 2 - Dark Territory Hard Target Maximum Risk Escape From L.A. Broken Arrow True Lies Eraser The Specialist The Usual Suspects Once I had finished watching, it dawned on me that after a while, whats old is new again. And all of a sudden, I no longer wanted to part with my old toys. I mean, laser discs went out back in the mid-90s and I bought that player back in 1994 I think!! I had put it away when I got a DVD player. So now, the laser disc player is permanently stashed underneath the DVD player on my rack mount; and am never taking it down again. Did I mention that I have over 500+ vinyl LPs in the garage and that I still play vinyls on the Onkyo turntable now and again? Man, listening to the scratchy playback of "What a wonderful World" is a just fine way to get depressed about this screwed up world we now live in. *decoded as DB Pro Logic surround by the Onkyo since I didn't find the AC3 RF connector for the laser disc (though I didn't need it since Dolby Pro Logic is just fine).

I saw it last night just before the showing of X-files I think. Astounding doesn't even begin to describe it. Gonna catch it on the big screen this weekend when Ice Age opens.

Yeah, its fine here I suppose; though I doubt that whatever it is you are proposing is going to be done. The XP1 feature set is locked and not subject to any major changes outside of my current design docs. So, you'd better read that first.

LOL!!, I wouldn't be surprised; would you?

whoa!! thats high man. Note to self : remember to reduce LF and increase FF based on player's jetpack altitude. And cap altitude to 2000m [ 03-11-2002, 16:41: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]
