Interplay issues a Cease and Desist Order.

..to the Sol Contingency project.

:rant:

I don't think that Interplay is interested in actually growing as a company. What happened to "For Gamers, by Gamers"?? (that's rhetorical)

Old Descent Racing Mod

Hey Guys,

What was the old D3 racing mod that was being worked on years ago? Was that D3 Gold? or Olympus gold or..?? I forget.

Thanks!

Re: A Failure in Moderation

Now that you mention it Vison, I was over at the Sol Contingency page and it sounds like they're nearly ready for release. They're hoping sometime in October. Looks like we'll be playing via steam. Should be interesting. Hoping for some new victims. ..er blood.. whatever. :twisted:

Re: Satan's exemption

Careful there Krom, by the same argument you could discount the existence of time. But then again, perhaps that's what you're aiming for. ;)

There are two distinct realms here, the mechanical and metaphysical. It what's called sine qua non. You need one to get the other.
