like, maybe there aren't any big cities on that planet yet.

Um, or... you know... they could delete the thread too. whatever! (lawl)

I just read over the thread on the Vega Strike forum, and I can't find a place where it specifically encourages multiple voting. Voting for a particular project is strongly encouraged (understandably). There are posts further down that discourage cheating. Unless posts have been edited, I...

All those projects that I've used (like Standoff, Gemini Gold, Flight Commander) are totally awesome. The Armada Online and WCIVDVD patch are really cool, but I haven't been able to use them yet. Things like Pioneer and Saga look like they've got great potential. But PiArmada really tickled...

I don't think any of them are really my projects. Any involvement I had was minor and pertained equally to all of them. I appreciate the sentiment, but I was trying to be positive and uplifting.

In my opinion, it's good that only Gemini Gold was nominated. Not only is it the pinnacle of Wing Commander with the VS engine, but having 3+ projects on the ballot that are so closely related could have a mutli-Nader effect on the voting.

he gets an F- on the Turing test from me.

Brian Tyler's music from Children of Dune pops up in a LOT of trailers. I've heard it in a trailer for Cinderella Man, and the Academy Awards snippet for Master and Commander's nomination (don't remember for which award). Good choice!

Me too. I was hoping that my courses in linear algebra and differential equations would somehow be validated. But I guess not. : (

I remember throwing a bunch of images together from the CIC's ships section and wallpapers section to 'spruce up' the version of piarmada i was playing. The hangar deck wallpaper by Eder ended up in the zip file i made for other people to use to spruce up their own games. Which I guess other...

whee, textured by me.

Figured out the shortcut. Game looks real promising. But, had a crash to desktop when I brought a Banshee to the enemy carrier for the first time. VS and PiArmada logs zipped up and here

Windows XP. Double clicking the PiArmada shortcut. Tells me to check the error log in ./armada/strategic/dist log says: Traceback (most recent call last): File "Armada_Init.py", line 29, in ? OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File...

It's not really so much a question of RAM capacity (and we're really talking video RAM, not mobo RAM), but how fast you can stuff the data in there, which isn't directly related to quantity. Yeah, it might be cool in a retro way, but there's pretty much no way it would equal a halfway decent...

533kb is a bit low, actually. The 18 frames you talked about Brad would only be for the x-y plane (or x-z if you swing that way), and there's still a whole 'nother dimension that needs to be satisfied. So it would realistically be 18 * 10 = 180 frames for a full sphere. Maybe a bit less, but...

Definitely not my "favorite", but Saving Private Ryan was pretty remarkable in that it introduced both the general moviegoing public and I to some pretty darn graphic stuff. I haven't been able to watch another war movie the same since; the standard 'bang, grab chest, fall over' of the past 50...

Yeah, it has. Fun stuff!

Actually, it's 'teh' internet(s).

Hmm, I'm only familiar with the word 'pogrom' as meaning 'mini-holocaust'. Is there some other meaning, or something?

This is not a rant or rave. It is a correct assertation that it is not too tough to mod for VS or work on WCU, which is a reasonable response to the response of "I can't" to spiritplumber's request for help. This WOULD have been a "do it yourself" post if Eder had clearly said "I'm just a...
