I know we don't NEED it, but it was a lot nicer than what we have. Well, maybe not 'a lot' depending on what program you're using.

Ohhh, PXO, I miss you so.

Just an Idea

I don't know if this is possible, but here's the idea. Why don't we set up our own 'parallax online' server, to replace the old one. We could get the source code for the original server, and whatever other information we need to set it up, and then the programmers of the d3 community could make a ...

How do you play multiplayer...

Sometimes when I have a shower, and I'm on my way upstairs to my room to get some clothes on besides my damp towel, I look over into the computer room as I pass by, and I can't resist the urge to play a game of Descent. So, I make a break in my plans of getting clothes on, and start playing, in ...

Idea for increased Descent public interest...

I was just thinkin'... ya know what'd really get a lot of people into Descent. Is a movie. Ever see the movie hackers? At the time, that movie got soo many non-computer type people into computers. I also recall seeing a movie that was about SuperMarioBrothers 3 for the Nintendo, back before the game ...

What about the times when you can't get outta the way

a lot of times, it is impossible to get away from a spawn killer, even with the 2 or 3 sec. invulnerability. Usually it's the fault of my crappy a$$ computer, but sometimes you just spawn in the wrong spot. (Like behind the dead end door in Stadium when someone's looking right at you, or inbetween ...

The ethics of Observer mode

There was a big conversation just occuring in the Descent IRC channel on certain things you should be allowed to do, and other things you shouldn't be allowed to do. Specifically, spawn and type killing. The most agreed upon argument was that, if it's allowed in the game, than it's allowed. Or "It's ...

Kquery troubles

Hey, if anyone knows how to use this new Kquery program that was praised on PlanetDescent... please... let me know. I get this list of 'servers' but it's only a list of IP addresses, with no information on the games. Also, joining them doesn't work either. Johnny M (btw, this is my SECOND post ever ...

Cell Phones CAN ignite gasoline fumes

I was on my cell phone once while pumping gas, and an annoying gas attendant at 7-11 told me to get off. God, was I pissed. So pissed I did tonnes of looking stuff up on the internet to find out exactly why they would make such outrageous claims. No, it's not the electromagnetic radiation that the ...
