Who you callin prehistoric?!

;p

Something that was mentioned earlier was the concern regarding the old skoolers driving away new players once CD goes live because they're in the same servers. A rather ingenious mechanism that was put in place for the recently-released \"ThreadSpace: Hyperbol\" game (which is actually pre...

A question for you relating to something you mentioned in your very first post, Grendel. I'm assuming it is possible, but I wanted to confirm or see if you had tried putting it to the test: Is it possible to use the open-source drivers you mentioned for Linux with the 3D Pro and your converter box? ...

Not meaning to necro-post a bit, but it was easier than giving a lengthy explanation. The site's currently back down for a couple of days while I migrate to a freshly-rebuilt box. Assuming there's no major interruptions tonight, I'll have it available again before I go to bed.

My usual recommendation for a first stop for new vid card info would be: http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics.html It'll give you a great breakdown of the various cards and their capabilities. From there, since you already know what's in your price range, do the research using that site in conjunc...

Sorry. I'm a vi/vim/gvim junkie myself. =)

Whoa... /just sits and stares, amazed

It's my laptop's desktop background at the moment, and THAT's saying something

Go for it... just make sure paint me in a positive, benevolent light. *nods sagely*

Just starting to wrap my brain around this possibility, so I haven't even had time to think it out yet, but... how feasible would it be to set up a dedicated D2X-XL server via Linux? Is that functionality that needs to be built in? Only possible with a completely separately-coded dedicated server bi...

Howdy. Long post. Forgive me. It's been an interesting couple of weeks. I decided I'd take the plunge and attempt to find something that would replace the Sidenwinder 3D Pro as my trusted companion in days of old. Rather than either going forward with Grendel's option or building up an old PC with a...

I'm still IN Texas!! =/

;p

Where the heck are all the demos?! I was trying to show a friend the unbridled and gleeful chaos of Descent dogfighting at work today and couldn't find a single example!

Ooooh..... YUMMY! Quit playing Oblivion and get to work! ;p

Though I don't blame you... took me from Oblivion's release straight through to about 3 or 4 days ago to finally get burned out enough to do something else.

Repo Man, you're my hero. Not only do I remember FTL, but I also remember Dungeon Master... intimately. It's probably one of the more memorable games I played when I was younger, eclipsed only in my memory by the Descent Series, Ultima IV, Ultima Underworld, Elite, and Way of the Exploding Fist in s...

*nods and smiles, unwittingly drifting into the line of fusion fire as he reminisces*

Old Descenters never die. They just moth into new challenges.

Me? Been trying to expand my powerbase and either a) learn to code well enough to design a Descent-style MMO all by myself, or b) win the lotto so I can start up a company and hire devs to do the coding for me! ;p In the meantime, during my 'off hours', I focus on pl/sql and oracle dba knowledge, st...

Supposedly a new official mod from Bethesda is now out, but I haven't grabbed it yet. I think it added the aforementioned horse armor, new mage guild quests, and some other interesting tweaks. I got my custom character that was heavy on magic up to around 26 and decided to start over for fun as a th...

Wow... this thread's been around a while... and I'm just now realizing I never responded to it. For shame. Oh well... NECROPOST TIME! ;p There was a stretch of time in the early 90's in which I was working retail at Cutlery World (play all day with knives, of course it was fun!) and wandered into Wa...

Any game company will be forced to make such choices based on myriad problems, concerns, or marketing decisions. Whether it is delayed or how long is irrelevant to those that really want to see the Core Decision project succeed. I, for one, am painfully excited at the potential of this game. Let's a...

I officially despise the original poster that visited this hateful link upon the masses! May the fleas from a thousand camels infest your armpits!

Hehe I don't exactly know, I'd have to boot the game up to confirm. I think it was like 70+ hours. *chuckles*

Jeebus, has it been that long since I perused this site? Shameful, to say the least. Time flies when your old, have a 'respectable' full-time job, and have offspring to take care of. Well, I just noticed not long ago whilest in the process of migrating my www site over to another box that the old Ka...

That settles it. I'm gonna have to start coming back here at least weekly so I'm in the know. You people aren't simply emailing me with these important developments like you should be! ;p

Just so happens that I've been busy lately (when I'm not playing Oblivion) getting a fresh FC5 server up and running with mail, jabber, a few other apps/daemons, and moving the sllik.com (and original Kali gallery) site to apache. I just realized I'd managed to misplace the Kali files, so anyone tha...

Level 27, maxed conjuration, close-to-maxed destruction, maxed int, maxed wisdom... summon storm atriach, break out the sword, prime my custom Grip of Conflagration spell for 100 points of fire damage + -20% fire resist to target on touch, and nothing lives for long. *twitches* Must... finish... mai...

*blinks* Do my eyes deceive me?!

GIMME!

*rushes to the closet and breaks out two pristine and unused 3D Pros that have been waiting for this moment*

I'm working on finding a new home for the site besides my dev box at home. If you end up getting a message about max users, it's because I've got the dang thing running on XP currently. If the site is totally inaccessible, it's because you're hoggin bandwidth so I probably took it back down for a fe...

Yeah, much has changed with the world since last I emerged from the sludge to make my presence known, at least in this form. I've got a bit of work to do methinks, and I've got to finish off another couple of projects first before I can start this one, but let's just say I'm going to be working on a...

Noticed that a few ago, went there, and I'm already deeply embroiled in my own personal fantasies! In my mind's eye, I'm flying around with 6 DEGREES OF FREEDOM again!!

*passes out cold from sheer unbridled glee*

Wow.... Vlider... Capm... *SWOONS IN NOSTALGIA*

I was having an overwhelming pang of nostalgia today and started searching for something Descent-related to remind me of my 'glory' days when I happened upon this board. I must say that it's interesting and gratifying to me that, even now, the remnants of the Descent community are still around. Even...
