Bandus

No. No more movies. My keyboard cannot take one more movie in which I end up mashing the keys imagining I'm playing.

:echoes: I am lost, but I hear your echoes. Where are you, you, you, you?

I'm also really interested in a review about Prince of Persia. The concept seems to kick serious arse but I'm afraid it's going to be one of those things that only looks good on paper and in the commericals.

I accidentally discovered this game while browsing on google. It's worth a look and seems to be a pretty good deal of fun. www.darkspace.net

Something tells me that the SC isn't going to lose sleep over the demo not being out, mate.

Found it. Now I'm trying to find a clean pair of pants.

It makes me want to drive to New York with a baseball bat.....

:prepares a firing squad: On your order SC.

I thought this was a very good movie. 8/10 definetly. Very funny and a humours insight into the world of divorce.

Sounds like you need a third party moderate (read: lawyer) to help with this situation, mate.

Welcome back Powercow....

Can I get an amen to that?

Bandus stood on the bridge of the GCV Defiant quietly. He watched a computer monitor which currently displayed the battlecruisers cargo manifest. He watched as his ship was slowly resupplied. The doors of the bridge opened and in walked a female of about 29 years of age. She weighed approximately 135 pounds and stood about 5 feet, 6 inches tall. She had hair that was somewhere between red and blond that was tied up neatly. A very noticeable feature was that her left eye was blue and her right eye was green. She had a very tan and clean complexion. Her lean build indicated she kept in shape and she moved with a very agile aura. She wore a Galcom uniform; on her shoulders were bars indicating the rank of "Executive Officer." She carried in her right hand a file folder with papers in it. She walked up behind Bandus, snapped to attention, and said, "Lt. Commander Solis, reporting for duty, sir." Bandus turned around, surprised by the female voice on his bridge. He looked at her confusedly for a moment before saying, "Excuse me?" Lt. Commander Solis repeated herself a second time, though it was unnecessary, Bandus had heard her the first time. Bandus shook off his confusion as now the two were attracting a bit of attention from a few of the Ensigns on the bridge that were performing repairs or maintenance. He said, "At ease. Welcome aboard, Commander. You are the replacement for, Commander Dykstra?" Lt. Commander Solis nodded and said, "Yes, sir. That is correct." She went to a more relaxed stance and said, "It's a pleasure to serve aboard the Defiant. I've heard many good things." Bandus nodded slightly and said "Commander Dykstra was the finest XO I've ever had. I'll be honest with you, you have some big shoes to fill." He looked over over, then met her eyes again and said, "Do you think your up to the task?" With gusto Solis said, "Yes, sir!" Bandus nodded and said, "Excellent. Go ahead and get your stow your gear. See the Officer of the Day for a officer quarter assignment. Dismissed." Solis snapped back to attention, saluted, her salute returned by Bandus. She then turned on her heel and walked off the bridge. Bandus sighed, a bit unconvinced by his new first officer. Was it because she was female? Bandus never had a female officer on his crew before. He shook his head slightly as he sat down in his command chair. He pushed a button which activated his viewscreen revealing the massive shape of Galcom Headquarters. The ship was in the middle of auto docking procedures to the station. He noticed several other ships in drydock including the GCV Andromeda. He looked over the Andromeda and smiled slightly, recalling the stories he'd heard about her latest mission.

I will absolutely keep you in my prayers. I wish you well and I hope things work out for you.

You all remember that game called Syndicate Wars? :grins: I'm waiting for the day that I look out my window and see M1A1 Abrams tanks rolling down the street with a Microsoft logo on them and a little "Intel Inside" logo. I also am hoping I see the "Where Would You Like To Go Today?" label under the gun turret...

You ever designed a game using the amount of source code they used for HalfLife2 LostinSpace? Right then...

I did. The graphics are very very nice. On the high realism settings the game is REALLY hard which is cool.

Very nice. I like that a lot. Good reminder.

Redmond, WA - Microsoft today filed papers in Federal District Court alleging that the United States Government is a monopoly. The papers allege that the current government has stifled competition, and has prevented innovation in government, by using its monopoly power to pass laws prohibiting the formation of another Federal government.

I'm looking forward to the demo. Now how to explain the loss of bandwith to my users...hrmmm. I'll tell them I'm copying an important patch file to prevent a virus infection...yeah...thats what I'll say.

Ahhhh, now I see a clear question. That is what /I/ was waiting for. I agree that balance is definetly important in any multiplayer game. Rest assured that every effort will be made to ensure the balance that you speak of. And for the record. yes, that was hard.

How many? Hrm. There will be EXACTLY 42 of these types of anomalies in the final product of UC. The answer is 42.

Last time a telemarkter called, it was a female. She started her whole rant about whatever it was she was selling. Underwater basketweaving classes I think... Anyhow, I stopped her and asked her if I could ask a quick question. The conversation went something like this: Me: Mam, may I ask you a question? Telemarkter: Uh, absolutely! Me: Do you have big breasts? Telemarkter: Excuse me? Me: Are your breasts big? Telemarkter: Ehh, sir, I don't think you have a right to ask me that. Me: Ehh, mam, I don't think you have the right to call me during my dinner time. Bye. *click*

I have viewed 33 new shots. :drools: Very very pretty SC.

I went ahead and downloaded the demo and I have to say that this game probably isn't going to appeal to anyone outside that whole Malfador "niche" group I was talking about earlier. It's kinda cool to actually be in the universe that I've played Space Empires (for 3 versions now) in, but the game is just too simple to be something people are going to be playing for a long time.
