    Antibiotics

    I don't use 'em unless I downright have to. Dangerous things antibiotics, and they are dished out far too readily in my opinion :(

    Avp

    Friend of mine did some of the CG work on the Aliens, looks ok, but I've seen the 7ish movies, played the two computer games etc etc etc..... Kinda getting old hat for me now :(

    Star Wars original cover (VHS)

    My God, I actually remember seeing the second one down ON A BILLBOARD! I feel old :(

    Freespace 3?

    Part of the problem was that Interplay basically played a game of one-upmanship on the WC license just as the FPS rose to fame. It was basically a case of 'Anything they can do, we can do better'. They promised atmospheric combat and a whole host of other things which never appeared. I'm...

    Freespace 3?

    X2 Universe may prove interesting if it's ever made. Whilst X2 isn't everyones favourite game, it has a large fanbase, and a nice community to boot, and the game just begs multiplayer ;) If only the combat model wasn't a bit shaky :( (though this might have been fixed in later patches).

    Freespace 3?

    Everyones entitled to their opinion at the end of the day, Bandit has his, and he's done a damn sight more research into the matter than I have :D It wasn't Freespace 2 the game that caused the problem, it was FS2 the concept, marketting and particularly advertising that seemed to have...

    Freespace 3?

    This is good to see, I've loved Space Combat since watching BattleStar Galactica as a kid :) It's always pained me somewhat to see these two communities in particular at each others throats. Oh, and Bandit, I got the jist of the letter, you hate what FS did to Space Sims but even you said we...

    Lame insults you tossed

    Unreal wasn't the changing factor because of it's popularity, it was because of it's modding capacity, Quake 2 and Half Life effected the market even more financially I agree, and once the Tourney Games started coming out everyone wanted to play that online against each other. Especially with...

    Lame insults you tossed

    If you want to blame any one game for the death of Space Combat Sims, I personally would blame Unreal. The release of this game, bought about a massive revival in the fps genre, with equally massive modding support. Blaming FS2 for the death of Space Combat sims is like saying 'it was the last...

    Wasn't it you who said that emulation is the sincerest form of flattery though? ;)

    Meh, ignore this, took too long typing it ;) Edit : Awful is a matter of opinion really, there is a massive split in opinion about X2, I love it, but many people on HLP hate it.

    Lame insults you tossed

    Well, I'm glad things calmed down, I'm not a massive player of Wing Commander, but I think I played 3 for a while, I figured out the Kilrathi did it early though ;) Actually, the SCP is pulling some incredible stuff out now, for example...

    Lame insults you tossed

    I think the problem is that if someone came up to you and cracked the same old joke at you over and over and over and over, you'd turn round and hit them in the end wouldn't you? Go pick on Tachyon or Starlancer or something else with less graphics capability than the SCP for a while ;)

    Lame insults you tossed

    Ouch! Well, this is going downhill somewhat rapidly :( Ok, the toothpaste advert was just a wee bit silly, I think that's the problem here, those jibes are just getting a bit long in the tooth, and theres a lot of people who have worked hard to bring Freespace up to DirectX8 standards...
