Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Apr 02, 2003 5:15pm PSTWow, crazy day... we're probably gonna have some 'scheduled downtime' late this evening for some hardware upgrades so if on one of those refreshes the page doesnt come up, you can go to Maarten's personal website and spend some time there. Man that kid is messed up. Oh I'd like you ladies to have this:
- Those crazy Swedes love the internet - Editing war photos for publication is prolly a bad idea, here's a note on it. Thanks /. - Elephants are fast - Dogshow facelift scandal! - If you play lots of games you must be poor!Lastly, is anyone else really kinda put off by the Dumb and Dumberer trailer? Just seems strange to try to have a couple different guys play those rolls.
Mad Riders trailer goes heavy on the meta
Anarchy Reigns finished, delayed by Sega anyway

Lynch killed 2 or 3 Iraqi soldiers after being shot multiple times. Had both legs and an arm broken, was stabbed, and still lived to be rescued.
She's a 19 y/o Female Mechanic.
If she can do that, what do you thing a Navy SEAL or Army Ranger can do?
Kick ass!

If so, you think an image with "email@myaddress.net", linked to my email address would prevent such things? Or would the bots just get it from the link?

About 30 of us played from about 9:00 CST to about 2:00. That's some good 5 hour gaming right there! It was a blast, and it was fun.
Couple of questions arise:
When in artillery mode and you have someone spotting, how come you can't see any troop movements or enemy tanks etc....? I basically played most of the time as a Scud Launcher, or a Howitzer or the MLRS (picture) http://www.desertcombat.com/Vehicle%20Images/MLRS-sm.jpg
Why is that you can't see anybody in the artillery view of those weapons, did anyone else have this problem? Made it difficult to hit anything as the base looks empty when it's really not.
Also word of advice: If you can't fly a helicopter don't let 7 people get into it, take off, and then crash it immediately. That's not good. :( I swear that happened like 8 times yesterday. All in good fun though. Sure is a blast to play.
Anyone got any ideas on that artillery thing?

The only difference is now you have the Hind, and the Blackhawk. The differences are the Hind can take off much much faster and fly a lot faster, the Blackhawk has handling like the old apache from .2, but it's not meant to be a fast moving aircraft. The apache in .3 has been upgraded to be a little more nimble, faster turning, better recovery rate (you can even do a flip with it). All instructions in this guide is easily transferrable to the new aircraft.
Here it is:

FUN STUFF!
That was my first time playing the DC mod. The Choppers are nuts. The transport humvee's are supar fast. Suicide bombing is damn funny. The guy even yells as he's blowing himself up. Too bad he doesn't say Allah Akbar though.. I never got a chance to fly the heli myself. Ashkie's server was full, so the choppers went quick.
My only complaint is that the new vehicles are so quick that twice I accidentally slammed the humvee into the back of a tank that was in front of me because it stopped so quick, I couldn't. Tanks need brake lights or something.
