  • Re: The agony of the late adopter Don't beat around the bush, man, what do you REALLY think? :-) Time to do some comparison shopping...
  • So, earlier this week one of my housemates rolled in with an Xbox under his arm. This is a great windfall for me of course, but! I've got some cognitive dissonance because a) I'd always planned to get Halo if we got an Xbox, but b) the PC version is…
  • Re: TeamSpeak/Ventrilo questions... (Quote) Ventrilo experiments, to answer your questions.
  • Re: TeamSpeak/Ventrilo questions... I have no idea! Just didn't want you to think you were being ignored. :-) If you are still pondering these questions when WCG rolls around, and you need a couple of Windows users to test something out, I'll pit…
  • Re: Mighty Fine Answer, Rams (Quote) I'm still pretty damn far behind in the MW product cycle apparently... S'ok, that about matches how far behind my skillz are. Yesterday I mastered "not moonwalking against buildings while I try to get the t…
  • Thanks That covers it!
  • I got Mechwarrior 4 for cheap recently and it looks quite sweet. (Got Black Knight too, tho I haven't installed it yet.) I've been futzing around trying to get started with it -- I don't have much joystick-using experience, and the last MW game I pl…
  • [b]Re: Neverwinter Nights 3rd Party Modules?[/b] I had a little bit of an "eh" reaction to the official campaign, so I'm waiting a bit and playing other games before trying any user-made NWN modules (to give the authors time to really lea…
  • Re: Can you tell me how to get into bungie.net. I cant get in If you're talking about the website, it is currently down for redesign. If you're talking about the game matchmaking service, it's still working as far as I know...
  • Re: Unfortunately... Actually, it doesn't crash then for me... maybe he'll get lucky too.
  • Re: Giants: Citizen Kabuto...? Visually it's superb. It's divided into 3 episodes, with different gameplay in each. The first episode is kinda reminiscent of Tribes -- a lot of jetpack and sniper fun, big gorgeous outdoor areas. I got to the last …
  • Re: q3a 1.3 requires Mac OS 9.0.4??? Hmm. Could be. I thought I remembered a Graeme Devine .plan about the reasons a certain OS version was required, but going back to look at that I see that he was talking about the requirement for 10.0.4 with the…
  • Re: q3a 1.3 requires Mac OS 9.0.4??? Hmm? The OS 9 version probably does. I suspect that the OS X version does not... but then I guess I could be wrong about that, given the wacky dual-OS setup that is involved with OS X. Could you be more specific…
  • Re: New Games Giving up on: Tribes 2... dammit Playing right now: Quake 3 (Threewave, Team Arena) Going to get: Myth 3 Probably get: RtCW Things get hazy out toward the end of your six month timeframe, but we will probably see DNF and Unreal 2 …
  • Re: Remind you of anything? I think things naturally get worse as a community ages too. I won't say out-of-hand that an increase in size or newbieness is NOT the main culprit (although I kinda doubt it, and actually I think getting fresh blood may …
  • Did that help? [nt]
  • Re: In search of a 1.29h pk6.pk3 Meh, I should have thought of uploading that for you guys. Here... I put the pk3 inside a zip file to keep browsers/servers happy with the MIME types 'n stuff. pk6.zip
  • Demo came out recently. Kinda cool. If I were to compare it to Myth 2 I guess the main minus would be the lack of formations and the main plus is the ability to customize your units and the skills learned by your vets. (Looks quite nice too of cour…
  • Re: Wow! Tribes2 is pretty damn impressive. I used to play quite a bit of T2, but when I started my latest Q3CTF map I went back to Q3CTF exclusively. I really tunnel-focus on the game when I'm mapping. I'll probably get back into T2 again later no…
  • a few more bits I saw the recent Rio Grande newsletter and noticed that: - The Carcassonne expansion will be available in April for $12, and it also includes markers to be placed on the scoring track when you exceed 50 points, and another set of p…
  • Re: Ah ha (Quote) Apparently it's a pub (Wirtshaus) next to a pond or small lake... I guess a recreational spot like that must boost the road traffic so the thieves can really clean up. :-)
  • [b]Ah ha[/b] BSW doesn't have English instructions for it, but they do have German instructions, which basically seem to say:(Image) A pub (6 cards) on a road makes that road worth double to thieves if completed. However, pub-roads get zero points…
  • [b]Re: Speaking of German table games...[/b] Well how about that. Learn something new every day. Apparently it has the dazzling name of Carcassonne: The Expansion. No mention of it at Funagain or in rec.games.board. Some some mysterious Germanic d…
  • [b]Re: Good Stuff[/b] [quote] Finally, once you buy/play Settlers, check out the great Java version at: http://sunlab-01.cs.nwu.edu/~thomas/java/soc/ . [/quote] I finally tried that today. (That URL still works BTW but apparently the site has move…
  • Re: Speaking of German table games... (Quote) You mean The River? I think it's made its way over here... I bought Carcassonne for my uncle's family for Christmas, and the box and contents were just like my set except that the box had something stamp…
  • Re: Good link here (Quote) Newer version. The general world graphics are also different than on Mark's page, but close enough to give the idea. Funnily enough, the help/tutorials images on the brettspielwelt Web site are showing the same outdated s…
  • Good link here Quick & Dirty Guide to BSW
  • Re: Speaking of German table games... Interesting! Nope, I hadn't seen that yet.
  • [b]Boardgaming... reporting back[/b] Been a long time since my original post... Thanks for all the responses. I've since started a twice-a-month boardgaming get-together as a spinoff of an existing twice-a-month moviegoing group, alternating weeke…
