Yeah. I like them. They are really challenging and Tie Fighter has more bells and whistles. And I can't be sure as of yet but I think you cant barrel roll in X-WING but def can in Tie Fighter. We need a remake!

You know, the starfighting bits in the new Star Wars Battlefront 2 by Dice weren't half bad. They were multiplayer or campaign only, of course, so they didn't have nearly as much variety as you got in either XW or TF. And, of course, since they were console games the power, targeting, and shield controls weren't nearly as good. Still, the graphics were great and the flight controls were smooth and intuitive.
All in all, I thought starfighting was the highlight of the game.

there is a group of fans that are updating X-WING with modern sound and graphics. You can see their progress on some youtube videos. I hope they release early this coming year.

Ooooh No kidding, that would be dope!

Also, my crazy level of posting today is due to a vacation day with no planned activities and no real responsibilities.  I don't expect I will be this responsive every day.  :)

hey no worries I type fairly fast and its my day off so,all good!

lol I'm jealous. I only get to check the game every other day right now, and that's if I'm lucky. :)

Everybody still breathing?

In reply to Dacc-Dacc (msg # 12):

yeah. I just had my computer die and to get the design and the rig I want built took longer then I wanted. I should be here from now on as regular for me.

Sorry to hear about the problems, but glad you are back.

How'd the new computer work out? Sounded like you were going for an exciting one. :)

In reply to Zu (msg # 15):

Actually the new rig had to sent back. It had a firmware glitch or something. Everything is fine as I have not been online much. But hoping my tech guys can make good. Either way I should be fully online again soonish lol

In reply to Tarkahnta Modelii Akata (msg # 16):

Yeck. Yeah, every time I've built my own system I've run into hardware glitches: faulty memory on one, bad CPU on another. It's the bane of building a custom system. Still, the quality in the end makes up for the hassle.
Eventually. lol

In reply to Zu (msg # 17):

Yes. Latest update is, they are rebuilding it from the ground up. So,.......I will get it in 2 to 3 weeks. Add another week for me to Install what I need and want.lol

In reply to Tarkahnta Modelii Akata (msg # 18):

2 to 3 weeks?!? Good golly. That's forever!

In reply to Zu (msg # 19):

Lol I should have one up and running by July 22nd. That is also our next sit down game with the group. I have been without my own rig since around June 16th, lucky for me I'm a per internet\online "kid".

In reply to Tarkahnta Modelii Akata (msg # 20):

lol I didn't get into the web until late--like, 2006 or later--but now I use it so much for research that I just don't know what I'd do without it.
But as for actually living without a working computer? ... But writing on my phone is... I mean, ... No. I don't know if I could do it. :-b lol

In reply to Zu (msg # 21):

it was a challenge but one I learned some things with so, alls well it seems

In reply to Tarkahnta Modelii Akata (msg # 22):

:-D Excellent! lol

Zu's post will probably be even funnier later.


Hope so !

Your move, Zu.

In reply to Dacc-Dacc (msg # 25):

Sorry. I've been overloaded prepping for a con this coming weekend. I might not get to post again until next week.

In reply to Zu (msg # 26):

You going to the GenCon thing? Let me know how that goes. In the meantime I will resolve the scene and keep things going.

In reply to Tarkahnta Modelii Akata (msg # 27):

Oh, gosh, I wish. GenCon is up in Indianapolis, so we didn't have money for it this year. We're hoping maybe not next year, but the year after to be doing well enough to justify making it there. We've got a couple of people in the industry we've been chatting with on Twitter and email that we'd love to play with in person. :)
No, the con we went to was the Austin Anime Convention. We did a panel on Running Anime in RPGs on Saturday. They stuck us in a tiny room for the panel, but we still got like 40 guests and most of them stayed for the whole thing and they asked lots and lots of questions. Let me tell you, that was a serious shot in the arm. lol. We also did some gaming in the Board Game Room all three days, and that was fun. We got a couple of likes out of the con already. Hopefully we'll snag a few more over the next week. Either way, it felt like it was good local exposure for us.
We're planning on hitting up the local wargaming con in November, Millennium Con. I'm gonna try to run a game of RECON and a Savage Worlds scenario, and I think one of my partners is going to do Traveller and maybe The Veil? At any rate, we're looking forward to that.

In reply to Dacc-Dacc (msg # 25):

Zu or the actual player is and has been working lots I Assume I will continue the thread as he will show up soon I'd imagine.
