Interesting to read!!

Scott, what was your usual Descent nickname? Trying to remember who you were...

I went by griffin for ODL, Original IDL, PPG from 1995-1999 then went by d0ggY when I got back into it for a time circa 2000-2002

d0ggY

Wow, so many old names

d0ggY

Were you in |W|? Or UF? Ur name really sticks out for some reason, like as if I'd played you a bunch of times?

d0ggY

Ahh yes that was a 21-19 game wasn't it?

d0ggY

Are either of you Vader's from the 1996-2000 D1/D2 era? I remember playing a Vader back when..

Hey Scound, congrats! I was at a grocery store the other day and picked up a Video Game Records book and checked for you under DigDug and you're still there lol My story of first playing you in Descent goes like this: It was sometime in '95 or early '96 when I was still a newbie on Kali and learning ...

Since this is the only board I even bother to look at anymore, I'll ask you guys. What's the best WYSIWYG webpage builder right now (preferably one that can later support shopping carts)? I haven't used a WYSIWYG since Frontpage 98 and then did hard-coding using html and css. It's been about 5 years ...

When buying your blades, many salespeople will try to feed you BS about spending a bit more to get wheels with \"better\" bearings. They'll throw terms like ABEC at you and tell you that the ABEC 5 and ABEC 7 bearings will make it easier to blade due to quality and this and that. Tell them to go eff ...

This guy seems to have done his homework: http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Essays/FiveMinutes.html Regardless of made-up power ratings, the Enterprise (as someone said), was an exploratory ship that seemed to prefer peaceful negotiations and beaming people onto planets to work stuff out. The ...

I should dig out the old zip drive and CD's loaded with demos from '95-99. I wonder where all that stuff is ...

And the famous author, I.P. Nightly ...the guy that wrote the book Rusty Bedsprings.

d0ggY

The only time type-killing is cheap is if you call time out or ask the other player a question that requires a response and then kill them when you know they are responding. If a player chooses to sit and chat during a game or to type, especially in a 1on1 match, they are taking their own risk. Many ...

Got it, so ratting is a "whimp like thing", and mothing is a "stupid thing". Some of the best Descenters back in the pre-2000 age were solely rats and probably, imo, the hardest to beat. It is hardly wimpy and is actually quite difficult to master. Many self-proclaimed rats were horrendously ...

d0ggY

As an FYI, if I'm not mistaken, descent.com was a pornography site for several years pre-97. I remember a big joke on Kali in '95-'97 was to get noobies to goto the site for Descent cheats/hacks.

INFERNO is just a level code to move onto levels 41-80. It's a lot tougher and I stopped around 43 out of frustration.

d0ggY

K beat the first 40. So damn addicting. The code for the next level is INFERNO. Score 36105 so far. Damn you for posting this link.

d0ggY

Wow I just beat 34 and can't believe it worked. Took a screen in case anyone else is stuck. They are getting really tough.

d0ggY

I can't beat 34. wth?! I think I know where to place everything but the last damn ball

d0ggY

first off since most of the accounts of Christ happened within 20-30 years after his death they were probably 1st hand accounts The avg lifespan back then was around, what, 25-40 maybe. So that makes these first hand accounts from a bunch of people who were children when Christ died or not even ...

Science, above all else, instructs us to "question" results and never to believe what we are told simply because some authority figure says so. That is a really strange statement. Science, at its core, is about intellectual honesty, and proving or disproving assumptions experimentally (good science ...

d0ggY

Perhaps more significant is that science and history have yet to even prove "Jesus Christ" existed as a being. I had to go back and readdress this statement. while doing some research I found this little tidbit Since my initial post I've been idly amused by the replies. 1. Nero wasn't around when ...

d0ggY

To those who believe in the Shroud based on alleged scientific evidence, I laugh at the fact you place any bearing whatsoever on scientific evidence, since science is probably your greatest \"enemy\". For all accounts I've read and heard about, \"science\" has conclusively proven that the shroud was ...

d0ggY

who the heck would want to spend eternity as an incorporeal Earth-bound spirit hanging around some old building? Gay ghosts are watching you shower. Despite the silliness of these statements, they are actually quite relevant. I found it odd this conversation came up as just the other day I found ...

d0ggY

Regardless of the existence or not, one thing is certain - shows like Ghost Hunters are ridiculous. If I actually believed in ghosts, I would be angry with those shows as their \"proof\" is beyond stupid. We live in an age of high-tech gadgets you can buy at your local electronics store and yet ...

d0ggY

Buried in Time was the only one of those types I ever really devoted any time too. I found the puzzles in Myst/Riven to be too dry for my taste. BiT was an incredible game though.

He may be referring to the fact that Palin's DS child is around 2 years old.

d0ggY

Regardless of the Fguy comment in general, Palin herself is one of the most hypocritical pieces of garbage out there. First of all, it's not OK to use the word \"retard\" at all. Then it's apparently ok for people to use \"retard\" if it's satirical. Then she fights Family Guy - and overall, the Fox ...

I find that a game with lots of good pilots and a single newbie gets really confusing. I have a harder time hitting the new guy because his movements are so out of place... :P This made me giggle. I remember back when I played 25 hours a day years back and for a fair period of time, I was devoted ...

Under which name, out of curiosity?

d0ggY

Upon further consideration, I'll alter my votes:

Game-Specific GOATS
D1: Spreadfire
D2: Gauss
D3: ?

All-time: the fake macro \"You killed <name>!\" I can't count the # of newbies I lured out using that

Then you spend the next 5 minutes explaining to them what you did.

d0ggY

Out of curiousity, did some of you go by different names pre-D3? I only recognize a handful of people in this entire thread (Lothar of course, Ferno rings a bell, Merlin and Lobber if they are the same as the ones I recall from Kali, and Grendel if he's the guy from the Descent tournament years back ...

d0ggY

In regards to my comments, I do not include D3 as one of the \"Descent's\" as it's too fundamentally different, imo. My argument is based solely on D1/D2 and regardless, I stand by my conclusion that fusion fails in your GOAT status as it is simply not an \"all-around\" weapon. Very very very few ...

d0ggY

You would have hated playing DrDon then. Matches with him could last several hours and were beyond frustrating in levels like Nysa where he was nearly unbeatable.

d0ggY

Completely depends on the player you're playing against. Fusion is lethal but only a few players out there are truly effective with it (kiln, Bird), otherwise it's useless. Plasma is the same thing ...guys like otaY, katO, Chipmunk, and Rainbird were absolutely devastating with it but I found it ...

d0ggY

sounds like something from fml.com

d0ggY

IMO, it's like comparing NHL players of today from the greats of the past. It's nearly impossible for the simple fact that the physics of the game has changed so much. When I first started in '95, everyone was on slow-as-shit PC's and dealing with 200-1000ms lag. FPS was like 20 at best. And ...
