Interesting to read!!
Scott, what was your usual Descent nickname? Trying to remember who you were...
I went by griffin for ODL, Original IDL, PPG from 1995-1999 then went by d0ggY when I got back into it for a time circa 2000-2002

Hey Scound, congrats! I was at a grocery store the other day and picked up a Video Game Records book and checked for you under DigDug and you're still there lol My story of first playing you in Descent goes like this: It was sometime in '95 or early '96 when I was still a newbie on Kali and learning...

Webpage building program?
Since this is the only board I even bother to look at anymore, I'll ask you guys. What's the best WYSIWYG webpage builder right now (preferably one that can later support shopping carts)? I haven't used a WYSIWYG since Frontpage 98 and then did hard-coding using html and css. It's been about 5 years...

The only time type-killing is cheap is if you call time out or ask the other player a question that requires a response and then kill them when you know they are responding. If a player chooses to sit and chat during a game or to type, especially in a 1on1 match, they are taking their own risk. Many...

Re:
Got it, so ratting is a "whimp like thing", and mothing is a "stupid thing". Some of the best Descenters back in the pre-2000 age were solely rats and probably, imo, the hardest to beat. It is hardly wimpy and is actually quite difficult to master. Many self-proclaimed rats were...

first off since most of the accounts of Christ happened within 20-30 years after his death they were probably 1st hand accounts The avg lifespan back then was around, what, 25-40 maybe. So that makes these first hand accounts from a bunch of people who were children when Christ died or not even bor...

Science, above all else, instructs us to "question" results and never to believe what we are told simply because some authority figure says so. That is a really strange statement. Science, at its core, is about intellectual honesty, and proving or disproving assumptions experimentally (go...

Completely depends on the player you're playing against. Fusion is lethal but only a few players out there are truly effective with it (kiln, Bird), otherwise it's useless. Plasma is the same thing ...guys like otaY, katO, Chipmunk, and Rainbird were absolutely devastating with it but I found it eas...

IMO, it's like comparing NHL players of today from the greats of the past. It's nearly impossible for the simple fact that the physics of the game has changed so much. When I first started in '95, everyone was on slow-as-shit PC's and dealing with 200-1000ms lag. FPS was like 20 at best. And control...
