by Maarten Goldstein, Feb 11, 2003 9:29am PSTHm yeah. I remember waking up at 7:30. Can't say I remember what happened after that. Tomorrow I'll drag myself out of bed if I wake up early again though, it's been a while since we started at a decent time. 3DMark 03 will be out shortly. It's pretty damn neat looking but it will make your hardware cry. Movie: It's a shame this happened. Okay, now let's go pray and get shitfaced

We're going CTF tonight with all 4 maps. Trimmed down respawn time to something that Norb won't bitch about. The realistic option looks fun, but I think we should just try that with perhaps a team game sometime.
Anyway the server is up, game up! /me skates back into the street

if someone would write a totally new client, such that you could connect to oldschool bbs programs like pcb, renegade, iniquity, obv/2 and the such. And you could have all the oldschool door games and files online but write the client to be able to transfer via ftp. There'd hafta be some coding done to the actual BBS software itself to allow for ftp transfers, but man would that rock! Have the client emulate terminate but instead of phone numbers you have IP addresses :)
i miss the oldschool days of getting voice validated and having to give 5 references and know what 10 or so acronyms stood for to get on the "good" boards :)

As a side note from someone's BBS post earlier:
Back in the day I had my own board and had a number of doors installed. One was called "Lisa", it was a chat program that talked back to you to to give the impression there were 2 people online at once (I only had one phone line for the BBS so it was impossible for 2 people to be online at once).
What was funny was that some guys thought it was a real person typing to them, ahaha....so one day my friend and I were just chillin downstairs (BBS was in other room), and this guy logs in and starts talking to "Lisa"... well, as Sysop I had access to the program and could actually take over "Lisa" and pretend I was her... so we did!!! AHAHAH... and we told him we wanted to meet him n shit, made all these plans for a few days later.
When the day arrived, my buddy went and parked at the deisgnated location nearby and watched for him... and he actually showed up!! Then when he didnt meet up with "Lisa" he left, went home, and logged in to the BBS... and he started askin "Lisa" why she didn't show!! OMG I almost busted a gut... this was also a guy who revealed some intimate secrets to this computer program, he was so dumb he didnt even figure it out when the thing repeated the same questions a few times...
At that point I just couldnt take it anymore, I was cracking up so bad I took over "Lisa" and told him he was talking to A COMPUTER PROGRAM. HAHAHAHAHA... after that I booted his ass off the line and banned him for sheer stupidity.
That was the funniest shit evar.

Here's a few sketches of some concepts for the Battlesuits
This first one was an experiment at a sleeker, more tight-fitting bodysuit, rather than the clunky mental picture that might first spring to mind: http://www.shackspace.com/~gauss@shackmail.com/titanium_battlesuit_01.jpg
These next two are the front and side of a bulkier, but more menacing design. Note the under-shoulder swivel points - they were designed so that a suit could carry and utilize a heavy arsenal, including two underslung shoulder mounts (Vulcan Cannon on right, Grenade Launcher on left), a modular cannon on the right hand, and a k-bar or other melee weapon on the right forearm, with an energy shield projectable from the left forearm. In all iterations of the suit, the concept of a 'booster' system was fundamental to the design - it allows you to move very quickly along the ground, and it is indeed present in the multiplayer game (in fact, it was the very first bit of code we put to the test, all the way back in Q2! we knew we had a winner when we spent a half hour just boosting around an empty map :)).

Hell no we didn't achieve what we were striving for on Deus Ex. What you do is you aim for the moon so you end up hitting Hawaii or something.]\
What we want is as many people as humanly possible to experience the kind of gameplay we provide. I mean, anyone who says "Yeah, I want a smaller audience. I don't want a lot of people to see my work." Go back to Greenwich Village and put on a beret and whatever.
