I would be surprised if Interplay could win any IP lawsuit. As it is they are just squatting over their 'assets' doing nothing and have been for years, and barking when anyone comes close to what they're clinging to. Hopefully their threat is hot empty air to intimidate and they lose hard ...

Does anyone have any ideas how peaceful means any state can protect itself from the tyranny and arbitrariness of the United States? I thought I already answered that. In particular, any group / place / ...country... needs to avoid this (think of it as like a ' virus '). (Oh yeah, Al-Qaeda ISIS ...

The place is a ★■◆● hole, there's very few people there with any curiosity or intellectual honesty, no-one wants to learn or listen to anything.

I have a question though... If woodchip really didn't like the moderation here and wanted to leave, how come he's still around? Nothing is holding him here. The same thing that keeps a certain type of disruptor in an IRC channel: the "I hate this place but am hopelessly addicted to it and will ...

I remember he had posted on his ancient site his general keyboard config for Descent. I made some modifications and it has remained the universal config for all games ever since.

Much of what goes on the E&C 'forum' would be more suited for a #descentbb-ec IRC channel, what with the short, one-to-three-line chat-like way many of the threads are formatted.

So is Obama. But let's ignore that and focus on someone half a world away for a new war (because $$$) so everyone can carry on ignoring home turf.

A cursory look at Russian history over the past 500 years compared to say, Britain, France, or even America and its "Manifest Destiny," portrays Russia as a nation preoccupied within and along its borders, not in hegemonic, global expansion . The idea of far-flung former colonies is one unique to ...

I may resume my Descent'ing days with this. Technology Sol Contingency is made with the Unreal Development Kit (UDK), harnessing the power of Epic's Unreal Engine 3 to give the game a current look. It allows us to create an engaging scenery that will immerse you in the world of Descent like never ...

Bwahahahaha. OMG this site is too much. My stomach actually hurts from laughing. Seriously people, get a grip. The "what if" scenarios on E&C are so ridiculous it makes me think you are all insane.

Russia hasn't done anything except get in the way, belatedly, of Washington's lies that Washington uses to start wars. Russia (and China) went along with Washington's lies about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Russia (and China) went along with Washington's lies that Washington's 13-year ...

Basically, I agree with you, Skyalmian . But I kind of disagree with you that the behavior of people who belong to the elite, is their congenital pathology. Rather, it refers to the question of what determines the mind of man - "being or consciousness?". That last part makes me think of the ...

Now, can you show us any proof that meteors cause people to become psychopathic? In other words: they are born that way and you can't fix them. To many people, the idea of a child psychopath is almost unthinkable. But the fact is, true psychopaths are born, not made. Oh, indeed, there is the ...

Sky, your friend who rejects the middle ground fallacy has embraced the 'comet-of-ultimate-destruction-bazillions-of-light years-away-is-making-them-do-it' theory.

D2x-Rebirth, I think. I have halted the project, other things have taken my attention for the time being. A weird bug has cropped up, too, that I cannot figure out. The maps are Descent 2: Vertigo and for some reason, in D2x-Rebirth , I get dropped to the desktop with a Error: Failed to open HAM ...

It is true that it is written in these quotations, Skyalmian . Moreover, I believe that if Russians will dominate the global economy, they will not be better as Americans today. Perhaps it would be even worse. No one should dominate the world, neither the Americans, nor the Russian, nor the Chinese ...

Sky, if you're old enough, you've heard a variation of that scenario(gold to skyrocket any day>dollar dropped a key currency)at least 15 times per decade, due to some 'trigger' or another.

U.S. are to blame for their policies. Not to do something for others that you do not want to feel for yourself. This book ( interview w/author ) and this subject ( a news category ) plus these (see '4.' (and/or the source )) will help with understanding as to why things are and have been going ...

I quoted the last section of the article for a forum post. But "lambs to cosmic slaughter" stood out to me, and I had decided to add [Link] as a link to that with a "[-my link]" note.

The project was Descent 2: Vertigo and doesn't make use of D2X features, but if I...upscaled to that, would there be more in the way for puzzles?

I've been playing around in my ancient Descent II maps, which are virtually the only surviving files I have from 10+ years ago.

Isaac - yes this is a windows game, BUT (and this is a big butt) the team have not excluded the possibility of a Linux version if the game does better than expected.

I'm a bit bummed on the lack of OpenGL (and consequently, Linux) support (which the game "looks" like it could support), but given their budget and other priorities, can see why. Other than that, they have done an excellent job so far it looks and of the handful of projects on the way it's this ...

I don't care about console support. I'm tired of, on principle, that consoles get so much attention from the big AAA developers and publishers. I agree with that sentiment very much, considering that nearly all such games get "dumbed down" from what they could have been as a result (ala. "lowest ...
