Re:

One of my biggest complaints, throughout the entire series, none of the 3 main characters really show any growth. They increase in power, but they don't GROW. Take the characters as they were in the first book, swap them into the last book (with increased skill level), and the story would continue ...

Move them down 6 units, I believe (this would be in a cube with normal height). I can't remember if it's 6 or 7 units, but I'm more confident about 6, for whatever reason.

Someone sent me the D1 midis recorded as mp3 on Awe32 but it was missing one (endlevel), and several of the songs had some strange bugs.

It used to be the BOZ server, but then it switched to Ascent and people have requested that it stay there.

You could possibly ask Foil if he could get a server with it up. I remember it was really cool.

D1 vs D2 robots

I didn't like the D1 robot designs. They were so anthropomorphic that they didn't seem to have any creativity. I loved the designs in D2, the E-Bandit, the Fox, the TRN Racer and the BPer bot were just a few of my favourites. Though I agree that the diamond claw looked like the medium lifter, I'm no...

I would post mine, but I'd have to check whether the upload sites I'm subscribed to actually support it.

BTW all my desktops are game screens because my laptop's native resolution is somewhat awkward (1366x768), and it's really not worth trying to find something taken at that resolution.
