Karash, the original {PPG}Achillies (I think), and references to Sekmu.

Trippy flashbacks abound! I PMd Karash and told him to come over and say hi, so we'll see. Hehe....

Sure do! I keep putting it back up from time to time, but the way I have the home arranged currently, I'm not overly-inclined to leave the server up except when I'm going dev work on it for the sake of noise. When the LAN and room arrangement improves again, I'll have it back up again for all to per...

ROFL... damnit, make it stop. Ok, don't. No, do!

Methinks a certain mega-corporation is becoming concerned over the threat of Google's growing power.

Yuppers, the very same. The Kali Gallery.

Sllik

Well, not exactly. But as close to one as I've been able to find. Vendetta Online was another close contender, but horribly outdated and generally un-fun imho. This, however, in its to-be-released-later-this-year state, looks very promising indeed:

Yup, I play quite a bit of TF2 for quick jaunts of fun. My Steam ID is... well... you won't have any problem finding me. ;p

Sllik

Re-enabled my long-dormant EVE account when Trinity was released. My name in there is... well... you won't have any trouble finding me. ;p Sadly, the lack of ability to actually FLY my ship is still driving me completely batty. The solution? I'm going here when it's released: http://www.jumpgateevol...

Holy necrothreads, Batman! I've never seen such an old thread get dug... ok, that's a lie. i've done it myself, several times. ;p That initial history link doesn't seem to mention an ISDN/Cable-only ladder I participated in, long ago. What was the name of it? Am I thinking of Case's? Or another? It'...

Sllik

Busted! Lookie who I found over in the forums for Jumpgate Evolution: sLLiK: Your nick has a farmiliar ring to it. Would you happen to be the same Karash of the old school Descent days? Karash: Yup, thats me. Now there is a flash back to the good ole days of Descent. Did you use sLLiK as a nick back...

In Ubuntu, something like getting a root prompt is simple enough without the need for hacking the system so that it once again more closely behaves like other flavors of Linux. Simple sudo su - or sudo bash. I was actually fuzzy on all the differences a co-worker and I ran into, so I had to sit down...

Putty + SSHD works wonders for anything CLI-based (which is all that some of us require), but TermServ is certainly a grand improvement. Citrix helped foster the tech, M$ bought it as they buy everything else, and the rest is history. Or is it? Do research into NX from NoMachine.com. If you happen t...

Fox 4? D/FW? Richardson?!

TB, I might even know you or one of your co-workers in RL lol... how's that for a freaky small world.

Welcome back, Proton. You'll find plenty of methods available to make playing D1, D2, and D3 a reality. This is definitely the place.

And we'll all be here until the universe unravels or Al Gore breaks teh internetz.

Sllik

It's kinda funny... during those moments when I'm 'that down', there does always seem to be something to look forward to... and it's usually related to games, movies, or books for me. I'd probably have to provide a semi-short-term and long-term list, though: Short-term - Bioshock - Call of Duty 4 - ...

Screw Windows, Macs eat yer heart out. Amen, brutha. Linux > all.

Your intentions regarding what you want to do with/in Linux actually have direct bearing on which distro you should use as a learning medium. Ubuntu is definitely the Linux desktop new user's distro of choice, most especially for those coming from a Windows world, as it helps with that transition mo...

I think I watched just about everything posted so far. In addition, though, my mom and I loved watching M.A.S.H. together. Some episodes were actually a bit funny. ;) I also got up early on Saturday mornings to watch Battletech when they started airing them. I actually bought the Dungeons & Drag...

Where I work, we develop / implement / maintain a respectably-sized disparate code base intent on monitoring all production systems and services, alerting based off several different types and scopes of alert criteria, and displaying them all in a web interface that allows for easy event correlation...

At the very least, lots of formatting tricks using tables instead of frames or iframes goes a long way.

What seems more radically hilarious to me is that they cite World of Warcraft as a potential 'alternate alternate' reality for this type of activity. Engineers can make.. umm.. smoke bombs... and... umm.... little toy tanks? You can use bows and guns in game but you can't aim and I wouldn't even rem...

Sllik

Priceless.

Sllik

Ah, so THIS is where I put that response about segregating the playerbase. I'd forgotten where it was. Yes, in hindsight, it's probably simply best to allow a server setting of 'starter', 'veteran', 'old-skoolers', or 'all' or somesuch. Just try to make it prominent so that the new players don't get...

While I think the newbie removed-axis option is a good segue way into the multiplayer scene, it probably needs to be taken a step further, especially if the game in question is going to be multiplayer-only. I stated somewhere else - If we're going to have any kind of PXO/Vortex-type system for it, m...

Sllik

it's kinda funny. I mention Descent to people that are gamers and most of them go: "..Ohh, I remember that game..." Most of the time it's followed by something positive. If it's negative, it's normally about getting sick after playing a while. Mine respond with, yeah I gave up on it after...

I'm sure that by even daring to touch this thread, I will incite riot, but I will do so regardless. Perhaps a fresh perspective will instead diffuse the chain reaction that this subject always fosters. I have often, through the years, revisited the subject of my beliefs (or lack thereof) and never t...

LOL.. don't mind me. Case of mistaken net identity.

Well done, Pumo. Very tasty indeed. MP3's would be much appreciated.

They usually sometimes do wait to press all the various applicable charges until enough investigation has been done to make sure they're being booked with the correct crimes. Due process and all that. It's a foregone conclusion, though. They wouldn't have such insanely high bail placed on them if th...

Sllik

Wow... if you click on the Pumino's Records side nav, then click on \"Pumo Mines OST\" at the top, you'll find he's done music for almost all of the levels for Descent that he's made. And they aren't bad! Good find, Aus-RED-5! I never bothered to look at his site.

I know a friend of a friend that's going to work for Epic as a graphic artist, and my biggest suggestion to you is this: Spend a bunch of time building your skills, create a portfolio of your best work, and use it to make a website. Then, once you think that's looking good enough to impress others i...

I would venture to say that the human emotion that played into the murderer's hearts and perpetuated this atrocity is the same that is compelling online readers to post comments about their suspicions regarding even grander foul play by implying that Dr. Petit had something to do with it - jealousy....

Some folks had been stating that it was balloons released from a wedding celebration nearby, but those were awfully bright balloons if that was the case. I think what annoys me the most about sightings like this is that you almost never get to hear what the real source of the sighting was (alien or ...

A bit belated to post it now, but for those interested in a little trivia about Alizee (the hot frenche fem performer vid posted a couple of pages back) - she was the inspiration for the Night Elf dance in World of Warcraft. ;p

Depending on which webserver software you're running, you have several options available. Apache is the most prevalent one (because it's free and has a large following), and you can a) make sure httpd doesn't allow directory browsing, then at the very least set up a .htaccess file for whichever subd...

I've found sqlplus to be best for certain admin tasks (especially fixing of tablespace issues, breaking and fixing jobs, etc), but if I'm wanting to manipulate data or data-mine, the formating and restrictive nature of sqlplus and vi as your editor are powerful in some ways but very restrictive in o...

I was an absolute railgun junkie in Quake 2. I ended up using it almost exclusively, and it was a very satisfying weapon requiring lots of skill and good aim. When most folks were hanging out in Rocket Arena, I was on any server that promoted railguns. Loved loved loved. Conversely, having said that...

I couldn't believe it. I stumbled in here, looking around at all the tasty music and art and models that so many folks have done, then realized I wasn't seeing a post to an incredibly well-done Descent music remix I'd found quite a while back. I did Descent BB searches, manually scoured all the post...

Just as a side-suggestion, once this initiative is done...

We should take an altered version of the completed desk pyro to be used as a trophy, start up a new ladder, and make the trophies your prize for winning.

As I've said before - Descenters never die, they just moth into new challenges. ;p We're all still around, even if we go off and do other things from time to time.
