Descent for the Wii

So, as you all may already know, Interplay announced that in the Fall of 2010, they'd be releasing Descent for the Wii. May not actually be new news anymore. But I've recently been talking about Descent with my friends, and a couple of them actually looked it up and want to try it. So I'm planning o...

Just think, come August, I'm gonna have to endure Marching band at anywhere from 101 F to 105 F. It won't be that humid, so the heat alone won't be very bad, but I also have to carry a 60 pound drum while basically half running for 12 hours a day.

Heh, yeah.

Diedel actually reminds me a lot of me when i was younger, except he is actually smart in a way, while I was just a stupid little kid. :lol:

Although I didn't check the temperature, it felt around 95 today in Grants Pass, Oregon. It was a little humid until about 7:30, conveniently when my metal band opened for a Reggae band. :lol:

Okay, fair enough. Isaac, that pretty much explains everything, and although I do agree with Krom that he couldn't get along with some (maybe most) members, I wouldn't call it \"Nazi-like\". I honestly think that one post about there being too much \"fluff\", like that whole thre...

Eine Frage vor Diedel

Können Sie ein bisschen Deutch lehren? Ich habe 2 Jahre Deutch gesprocht, aber ich weiß nicht was Jedermann sagt in der Deutches Forum von D2X-XL.

Können Sie mir helfen bitte?

Again, didn't work. It actually created a Stuffit Executable file that, when opened, will \"uncompress\" the exact file, basically meaning I took the long route of simply copying the .exe. I'm willing to bet that none of the Expanding or Uncompressing applications are doing anything due to...

I tried that, but maybe I used the wrong Zip extracter. I tried ZipIt, but it only opened Automater for me. Besides, it's a .exe file.

I've got a plan in the making though, I should be on in a week at the longest.

Don't be surprised if I royally suck. I still haven't gotten an adapter for a PS2 USB thing lol And so, a so very simple task has failed due to me not being able to run the installer program. Having a PPC processor is very restricting, but I'm working on a fix. If all else fails I can take the insta...

According to the developer of D2X-XL, it does, so I'm gonna give it a try.

I probably wouldn't be able to take him, but I could definitely be a nuisance. XD

So I need to know this sooner rather than later, does the mac version of D2X-XL run the Windows version of Descent? I don't want to waste 6 perfectly good dollars if it doesn't even work.

Thanks! However, since I don't have much money to fling around everywhere, I would like a guarantee that the mac version of D2X-XL can run the windows version of Descent, so that I don't spend $5 on something that doesn't work and then I can't buy anything else lol. About how many people do you thin...

Okay, sweet deal. Thanks! I'll get an adapter for that as soon as I get a copy of Descent that actually works on my machine. Now, my next question. I think I already asked this in another section, but where can I acquire a copy of Descent that'll work with OS X? I have $7 to spend, and I'm willing t...

Type O's song Haunted was also the music for level 8 of Descent 1 for the PS1. Haunted was the first song of theirs I heard, and it inspired me to purchase their album World Coming Down, despite Haunted not being on there. It saddened me when Peter Steele passed away. I took vocal influence from him...

Are PS2 Controllers Compatible with Descent for Mac OS X?

I've been looking into purchasing a USB adapter that will allow me to use my PlayStation 2 controller with my computer, so I can keep the configuration that works best for me and that I'm so familiar with. But I don't want to waste my money, so I was wondering, does anyone know if a PS2 controller i...

Couple Questions

Hey guys, obviously I'm new around here, so I'm hoping these questions aren't out of place. I own the first Descent for PS1 and am about halfway through the game on Ace difficulty (yeah yeah, probably nothing compared to you guys), and I do go through the 3 secret levels as well. One thing I noticed...
