Re: Goodbye...

Thank you all for the kindest of thoughts.

As time permits, I may get to visit occasionally... but Life has a way of making us reprioritize things as we get older.

Facing Age 60 in late February 2017... That just doesn't seem possible.

Fare thee well my friends and my fellow Descent'ers!

by SirWinner

Re: Goodbye...

Don't have much time for Descent related things any more.

Part of this is being 58 years old... I need to focus on other things like my grown up daughter (age 21), etc.

This is a great community of people from all walks of life and all sorts of ways of thinking about things.

Gaming is still ...

Goodbye...

Was great knowing you all.

I wish you all well.

Not likely for me to be back to Descent... So it is time to wish you all well in life.

We all have opinions and we must let each other have the right to agree or disagree.

I choose to disagree without being disagreeable.

My wish is that you all ...

Re: What do "we" think about upgrading to Win10?

Upgraded to Windows 10 on my Laptop and Desktop PCs.

For the most part it seems to work well EXCEPT my Windows Desktop PC that had Windows 8.1 used to connect to my Lumia Cell Phone via USB... Now with Windows 10 with NO major changes, Windows 10 on the SAME PC no longer sees my Lumia Cell Phone ...

Re: Still ...

New job as a Computer Programmer / Systems Analyst starts on Monday, June 15, 2015 in Norman, Oklahoma.

About a 50 to 52 mile round trip for me.

Excited about the new opportunity!

Re: Descent 20th Anniversary LAN

Sounds like a great time.

Most likely will not be able to attend.

Starting my new Computer Programming Job on Monday, June 15, 2015.

Take lots of pictures and loads of videos!

Re: Still ...

I did just move earlier this month to a less expensive apartment.

Still looking for my next Computer Programming Job.

by SirWinner

Re: Still ...

Facebook requests accepted.

The job market seems a bit hard lately.

Over 37 years experience (Computer Programmer) and having a tough time looking at the present time... I will figure something out soon.

Always great to visit the Descent Bulletin Board. (DBB)

Re: Descent Underground - Kickstarter

When it comes to the real game Descent... Of course, we can always find a way to scrape up a few bucks for it!

P. S. I do have a steam account!

Still ...

... alive and kicking.

Been busy with real life lately. Was unemployed for 80 to 90 days which put me behind on all my bills.

Currently working at WalMart of all places while looking for a new job writing computer software. 8 months as of today at WalMart working as a Photo Lab Associate.

Re: Descent Underground - Kickstarter

Must be nice to have extra money to donate to such a worthy cause.

A lot behind after being unemployed for about 3 months. (Working at WalMart since October 2014 to the present time.)

My current apartment complex isn't working with me... So I have a new place lined up which will be about 5/9's of ...

Re: It's been a while! How has everyone been?

Still alive and kicking... Not checking on the Descent Bulletin Board as often as I should.

Great to hear from you!

Re: Servant Leadership

Just went through a 10 month Leadership Class at my home (Christian) Church here in Oklahoma City.

Had a lot of homework through the class... Graduated as the Valedictorian out of 17 in the class... Set the bar high for me so that even if I didn't achieve it that I would learn a whole lot more than ...

Re: Star Citizen is Ready!

Tried EVE but was disappointed that you are not able to fly in the space battles like you can in Freespace 1 and Freespace 2.

EVE was OFFLINE in less than 1 hour after being installed on my PC never to be played again.

Star Trek Online is much better in the long run for me.

Thanks for the thought ...

by SirWinner

Star Citizen is NOT Ready for ME!

Created an account.

Now it wants me to pay some OUTLANDISH prices for things.

I would LIKE to freaking PLAY TEST it before buying it.

Sadly everything is way too high cost wise for me.

Looks like this is a game that has NO freaking chance of getting played on my Computers!

Sad too... looked ...

Thank you Veterans!!!

Here's a salute to our American Veterans on Veterans Day.

Don't forget to remember our Police Veterans too!

SALUTE!

Re: How do I use google?

39 days?

Sounds like you need to get this program:

Run it from time to time to keep your hard drive working properly or to get your current drive to where you can retrieve the data in case it is dying.

Steam Community ID anyone?

Re: If only we had a Descent that looked this good...

Looks very very nice!

2015 isn't all that far away considering that 2013 is almost complete!

Re: uh-kayyyy... i just wet myself!

Woot... looks very nice.

I'm ready for http://preparefordescent.com/ to "get 'er done!"

Looks marvelous!

Re: all bow

Nice Job Cuda.

I don't post here much any more... been very busy with Real Life (tm).

Otherwise would have passed 5 to 10 thousand posts long ago. (just under 2700 here.)

Have a great day!

vBulletin Board... OOPS!

"Only in Oklahoma".

You got that right!

Loads of Farms across this fine state of Oklahoma.

One thing about it... all the police had to do was to haul the burglar away!

Planetary Annihilation - WTF are they thinking?

* Rant Start *

Logged into Steam today and was astounded at the $89.99 price tag for a game that is not even ready for PRE-Alpha.

In the good old days, less than 20 years ago, we were able to PLAY TEST demos of games to see if they were quality games or not.

Now-a-days the new (and extremely bad ...

Re: I miss the old Descent Soundtracks...

Wheeeeeee!

Lots of fun in this thread for sure.

One KALI member that I am aware of talks for hours on end with nobody chatting... Seems that he enjoys watching his own comments then rebutting his own comments with new ones.

I miss good old Capture the Flag and the occasional Entropy Games in ...

Re: Free Planetside 2, Hawken, and World of Tanks credits

Thenior,

Looked at the other 2 games... underwhelmed. Not my game style on either one.

Meanwhile back to RetroVirus, etc.

Re: Free Planetside 2, Hawken, and World of Tanks credits

That's a cool thing.

Tried PlanetSide 2 (PS2)... absolutely hated it... you get dropped into the battle without a chance to learn the weapons first... then what looks like kills miss your target by a long shot due to extremely laggy conditions... you think you are in a SAFE zone only to get ...

Re: Retrovirus Multiplayer...

Grendel,

I saw you in the Retrovirus Multiplayer games last Thursday.

Sadly I was very disoriented in the map and just couldn't get my bearings.

Think it would be good to look at all the maps that we were in for familiarity next time ahead of time.

Perhaps we could do Cooperative Mode next time ...

by SirWinner

Re: I miss the old Descent Soundtracks...

Thank you for the Descent Music Links.

I have always enjoyed the "Descent" mood music for each level from Descent 1 demo through Descent 3.

I'll download these fine music files soon.

Retrovirus Multiplayer...

Thank you Cadenza Interactive for hosting multiple Multiplayer Games tonight in Retrovirus.

Like I posted on the Steam in the Retrovirus Forum.

I couldn't seem to hit a bb with a Mack Truck tonight... Was fun anyway.

Look forward to perhaps playing Cooperative Mode Next Week!

Thanks again ...
