Two Thoughts on Melek <bland exposition> I haven't been around here in a long time; "real life" keeps intruding on my otherwise idyllic existence for long periods at a time, which irritates me to no end. It's pretty cool to see that this place is still going strong after all this time. Gotta...

Tollways Why are there toll booths on a freeway? Actually...there aren't. Toll Booths are on a Tollway. Freeways (or Expressways as they are technically in Chicago) do not have tolls. If they did, they'd be a tollway. Then they'd be part of a money stealing IDOT scam...[as put earlier...

I don't think it's true, for one. It hasn't shown up anywhere I consider credible; and no, "Daily Radar" doesn't count in the slightest as a remotely important source, in my opinion. If it shows up on Gamespot/CGW or PC Gamer, or on DA's site, then I'll believe it. Or if MS/DA can ever be...

sorry, totally unrelated. jsut checking to see if <B><I><U>html works</B></I></U> or if ubb works

Not to mention, let's assume for the moment that the Ferret is mustering max speed at 520kps. 22KM @ 520KM/S = .042 sec for 22KM If you 520KM each second, then 22KM is going to only be a fraction of that time. So, even if the Kilrathi ships is really huge at 22KM, at that relative speed you...

I can see both sides on this one. I agree that Lucas did work hard on the production, but I believe that his choice of target audience was very ill-advised. Star Wars is by on means Foundation or Stranger in a Strange Land, but it is certainly not Pokemon, either. And I think that Lucas...

In terms of playing: I'd have to agree that WCIII/IV had the best landing system for gameplay value. Being able to do cool barrel roles around it and generally do things that must've driven Rollins crazy was really great. However, I think WC1/2 had the best for sheer coolness factor, in that...

Yeah. Even though sometimes in SF it seems to stretch the limits of believability some times, it is a very real phenomenon. The shifting of alliances and the idea of uniting against a common enemy are very much a part of Human history. This goes as far back as the ancient Greeks. At the...

An interesting idea, but I honestly don't believe it would work. Let us not forget that Origin is owned by EA, which is becoming the M$ of gaming. They seem to own or be affiliated with every important developer now, with the exception of Blizzard. I find it very difficult to believe that...

What would be sweet would be to set a game solely in the time of WC1/2 using a mod of Alliance or the Vision engine. I do so love seeing a hornet in SVGA textured 3D...

is "berillyum baloney" from where I think it's from?

oh yeah; and don't forget a copy of Mandrake 7.1 in there either, Kris but th@t iz 0nly f0r 3|337 hax0rz

Here's the deal on Win2K. While Win2K is much mores stable NT-dervied OS, it has trouble running some games for the following reasons. It is based losely on the NT kernel, but is much different than NT. It has much better harware support for one thing. The big reason NT doesn't support most...

I think I remember you (my memory seems to be getting fuzzy)...I just came back myself after quite a long absence, due to the vagaries of Real Life : ( Nice to see some more returning people.

I think Dralthi5 meant that they were set up to be possible romances, but that thread faded as the game progessed, not they actually WERE "possible romances" in the sense that you had 2 possible romances in WC3.

This is one of the funniest threads I have ever seen on the CIC. Stunner, I think the point that everyone is trying to make is that, while powerful ships are cool and all, the uber-mega-super-dooper-multi-universe beast which you have created is the sort of thing that causes mainstream groups...

Yup. It's just like the thing with Roberts, E3, and the Kilrathi. Anyone else see the interview (I'm inlined to say it was in a PC Gamer about Starlancer) where he talked about not having a name for his evil feline race in WC1, and making up one at the last minute? It went someting like this...

Ok, the UBB CODE tag doesn't act like a &lt;pre&gt; tag...we all learn our lessons.... Of course, at this point, my post is woefully behind the times, as I did not see this thread until today. However, I feel the need to speak anyway. I can say that I understand what Icy was saying about...

Well, KS is availible...on eBay...if you have US $400 plus to blow on it. Actually, it may not even be availible, I can't say as I've checked the auctions lately. But, it is no longer availible retail or direct through OSI, and is EXTREMELY difficult to find.

Thanks all.
