AT1, whatever that is, has nothing to do with the MW4 mechs. Legal issues there stem from Battletech plagiarising designs in the 90s.

DarkHorse

Would be more useful to have a sticky here about it. I've never heard of it either.

DarkHorse

You're already seeing it.

Owing to better health facilities it won't be as severe.

DarkHorse

I'm actually a little surprised that the Marauder II was close enough to the original to warrant pulling out.

Many of those models are about due for a retcon anyhow. They've already given some of the models ex Battletech a facelift, so it's not out of the question.

DarkHorse

Strangely enough it's only being held up by legal issues at this point.

Unseens are probably going to be culled from the initial release.

DarkHorse

This commentary is deep and meaningless.

Air travel.

It spread around the world in days, at this point it's just doing the rounds. Influenza does this every year.

Gulf states have held secret talks with Russia, China, Japan and France to replace the US dollar with a basket of currencies in the trade of oil, the UK's Independent newspaper says. A "basket" of currencies. Why are they holding "secret" talks you might ask. Could it be that th...

After my time. I don't remember D3TL.

DarkHorse

I get you regarding drawing on paper. It gets easier for the individual artist , but you can't just make a formula to draw a perfect face with no previous knowledge. However, a lot of 3D stuff you can just follow a sequence of button presses. I don't mind that. It saves time. Bryce has great glass m...

There will always be people who think the art you do can be done with the push of a few buttons. Especially those who don't use a computer will see your tools being the equivalent to an excavator building a sand castle. And they're right. The computer its self can be your partner in developing new ...

I've never heard of any fuss about Columbus Day. For that matter, I don't know anything about the commemoration, other than his expedition to the Americas.

DarkHorse

Making a planet only takes a couple hours, actually. Two or three textured spheres. DT's an outstanding artist. I don't know how much easier ZBrush makes the sculpting part of that; I've never used it myself but I've seen it used, and I get the impression you have to be good with clay to really work...

DarkHorse

Players will figure that out via level editor, not actually playing it. There's a difference between fighting the level 24 boss underarmed and completing a puzzle of hundreds of thousands of combinations that requires no real engagement. One's difficult, the other's just pointlessly boring.

DarkHorse

I'm using Maya these days, but I've used 3DS and Blender in past. Plus a handful of minor applications.

Blender's sculpt tool is pretty much a derivative of Maya's, which is itself an inferior version of ZBrush.

DarkHorse

Consoles are still far more expensive. You have to buy a TV.

DarkHorse

It's not the only typo in there, believe me.

This is like a really bad dream, where among other horrible afflictions, I lose the ability to speak in proper English.

Durban's in South Africa. Even Al Gore can't claim credit for that one.

IIRC: Much of the concern with H1N1 is that when new flu varieties appear, they tend to strike in waves, with later waves being increasingly virilent. Secondly, this viris is both highly contageous and appears to readily swap DNA with other viruses. Thirdly, being a brand new variety of Flu, it's l...

With buy-online games, 4GB isn't that much.

The only place where texting isn't outright stupid is waiting at the traffic lights, and even there you'd better be expecting some toots from behind.

DarkHorse

There's nothing to debate anyway; all your reasons are obsolete.

DarkHorse

Interesting. I honestly never saw troublesome TKing on the no-respawn servers. Yeah, we did it occasionally to someone who was being a twat, and occasionally teams would kill each other for the hell of it and rejoin before the two-minute join timer ran out, but the only huge problems there were actu...

DarkHorse

Those \"old\" people don't text while driving, if they have a cell phone at all. And the 20-30 age group have been using cell phones longer than you have.

DarkHorse

All those problems are either long gone or never existed, particularly the \"weapon ranges are wrong\" one. I used to hear that from people who just weren't paying attention to what the range actually was.

DarkHorse

So in other words you would prefer a dry didactic presentation? This is always the best way of raising a point without looking like you're one of those crazies writing a letter to the editor of a dodgy newspaper. On the other hand, since this thread is about crazies writing a letter to the editor o...

DarkHorse

Yet to get the regular flu so I wouldn't count on progressing to level 2.

DarkHorse

Ah. I'd probably already stopped playing Descent online by the time you started, then.

DarkHorse

Fundamentally ridiculous.

You can mislead by intentionally misinterpreting statistics, but unless the statistics are gathered with intentional bias as well, that's saying facts are wrong.

Who is this?

DarkHorse

DarkHorse

Nope. Mouselook gives you the ability to turn instantly like orbs could in earlier versions of Descent. It's in most normal first person shooters because slow turning there is unrealistic and bad for gameplay, but the idea of turning a vehicle around in a fraction of a second doesn't work so well.

DarkHorse

Unless you have to spend more than a couple seconds to do that, it's no different than changing radio stations and doesn't really hold your attention.

DarkHorse

That just means you're crazier than both!

DarkHorse

Too many variables. Only way it won't end is military power. A combination of economic and political strife seems the most probable cause of any dissolution.

DarkHorse

I've yet to reinstall D1. Had a busy month so far.

DarkHorse

There's no point in learning an obsolete editor to build levels for an old game. The best option is to use a newer version of D1X that'll work on recent operating systems to test, especially if trying to run it through D2X-XL gives you different lighting.

DarkHorse

It does. You can play it on XL with no textures, incorrect sound files and static robots without D1.

DarkHorse

You actually can play this on XL without D1 installed, but it's not much of a game. :]
