http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/t44vy/like_descent_my_studio_is_making_a_new/ I haven't played Descent in a long time, but saw this posting and thought it might be of interest to you guys! They're doing a live stream at 6pm tonight (guess that's 9pm for those of you on the east coast ...

Darktalyn1

I'll try to make it, sign me up!

Three other matchups with potential.... Grendel/Foil on Kataclysmica These guys can pop off MD rounds quite well. Could make for some good fights on an MD-centric level like Kata. Behemoth/Korpze Korpze is pretty solid, and it would be fun to take on the Descent Brothers. Behemoth/JesusFreak If JF ...

Darktalyn1

Do I foresee another 2v2 matchup on the horizon? Behemoth/Fiend? Fiend/Thorne? Behemoth/Alien? Thorne/Alien? Behemoth/Thorne? Zero has been banished for being a chump. j/k Zero ;p Seriously, anyone want to throw down against the best? Perhaps against a weaker team we can put a Handicap. Ryu and I ...

Darktalyn1

In '04 JF and I could have taken you two. :-p Maybe. But we were both retired in '04. I was a very good player when I retired at the end of 2002, but I didn't reach true Legendary Status until I came back in '08 and Behemoth motivated me to switch the mouse. :P Ever since then the game's been ...

I'm not sure if anyone took demos of the games. I wanted to, but didn't. For some reason recording demos causes D3 on my laptop to have these mini hiccups. Every 4-5 seconds it will stall for a half second. Far too annoying and disruptive for me to record because of that. Ryu saw the issue first ...

Darktalyn1

The matches have been played! Much respect to Behemoth and Zero for showing up and playing really well. However, it was not enough to break our winning streak as Ryu and I managed to win 3 competitive matches in a row. Game 1: Core 100-90 Game 2: Kata 100-86 Game 3: Indika 100-96 These games were ...

No Behemoth

Tried another arrangement in a Kata anarchy and was getting destroyed. Hmmmmm.... Have another idea but it involves me completely taking over my in-laws computer desk for myself. lol. Becomes a problem if they want to get on their pos computer to surf the net or something

Darktalyn1

Can we arrange a date for some time after xmas? If we can get something decided on early, I'm pretty sure I can make it. Main thing I have to figure out is a playable set-up. I tried playing today with my laptop sitting on a nightstand and there wasn't any damn room for my keyboard and mouse. It was ...

Darktalyn1

The fact I can have six months of rust and still be willing to talk smack should be commendable

Sup Beh!

Darktalyn1

I've decided to return for another tour of duty during xmas break. Anyone want the honor of getting destroyed by Ryujin and myself?

It's not every day people can face off against the deadliest tandem in Descent 3 History.

Darktalyn1

If you're a toss player and want to climb the ladder, just learn to 4 warpgate. Seriously. That's all you need to be an above average diamond player. Practice a 4 warpgate build and plant a forward pylon when your army pushes. It's nasty as hell. I see it coming all the time, try to prepare for it ...

Darktalyn1

I'm a 1700+ diamond Zerg. Been slowly climbing the ladder when I can

I pretty much only play 1v1s.

Darktalyn1

My D3 machine is an Asus Laptop with very similar specs to that, JF. Plays really well, too.

Darktalyn1

Just as an aside, I have a large chunk of free time in the second half of September. So really any date or time I'd be available for some games if we can schedule something during that 2 1/2 weeks.

Darktalyn1

If you guys can get a date set I'll try to brush up. Honestly though I haven't been playing at all these last couple months

Darktalyn1

Except for that last time when we dominated Behemoth and Zero and the games weren't even close.

Oh snap!

Darktalyn1

It's a lot of fun, been doing a lot of 1v1 ladders. It's overtaken D3 for my competitive outlet, although I'm nowhere near as good at it as I was after 10 years of Descent :) Definitely has that same feeling I had as when I started Descent in 99, a very in-depth game to master and I'm starting back ...

Darktalyn1

Whoops I missed this post. I'll add you!

Darktalyn1

Nice!

I'm #3 on Platinum right now, still trying to break into Diamond League.

PM me your email and I'll add you to my buddy list.

Darktalyn1

I have to say... I see myself converting to SC2 for my gaming needs

But I think I can still come back for a few games of D3 now and again.

Darktalyn1

Our typical 1v1 games end 20-19. Lately Ryu's been winning them when we do play.

Darktalyn1

I should be able to make it, reserve a spot for me!

Darktalyn1

I do, I just started using it a couple weeks ago. My coworkers convinced me to buy a headset + mic

We should definitely try teaming up sometime. ( After Ryu and I destroy you in D3 of course

)

Darktalyn1

Cool yeah we should play SC2 sometime. I'm relatively new to playing it, but I was a Platinum Zerg at the end of the beta.

Darktalyn1

Weekend of the seventh is realistically my first opening, I've got a lot of stuff going on with family coming into town in a couple days and Star2 shipping early next week.

Darktalyn1

I played D1 and D2, just not online. I only played single player with a bit of modem-to-modem against friends back then.

Darktalyn1

Works for me, let's get Ryu to sign off on it then we're good to go

Darktalyn1

Make a list of the levels and order they would be played, so we can agree on them.

That way if it includes a level like Athena which I have never actually 2v2'ed on, I can make sure I've at least brushed up on the layout.

Darktalyn1

I'd be down for a 5 map pool of Burning Indika Kata 1.2 The Core Skybox Athena In no particular order Also a best of 5 Instareap could be very fun. I'm open to map suggestions on that one. Maps that sound interesting to me for Instareap would be Kata, Skybox, Powerhouse, Faded Rose, Vamped D3...

Darktalyn1

2v2 on Indika to 1 point to determine who gets first choice for the games.

Darktalyn1

Sounds good, Might need to be 3 weeks though. I have relatives coming into town in a few days and staying with me for about a week and a half. [edit] Loser of each round picking maps is fine, but there needs to be an established map pool beforehand. Then I can at least fly through and make sure I ...

Darktalyn1

Newly returning players means new victims for the greatest 2v2 tandem in the History of D3. Anyone want to take a shot at our 15 (?) game win streak? Honestly I lost count. Now's the time to take a shot, I play maybe once or twice a month at most :) Of course I will be happy to come back for some ...

Darktalyn1

GGs guys, I better start playing more often or next time we might be in trouble

Some impressive moves from both of you in there!

Darktalyn1

I'm gonna pop the champagne then go 95% on him. I'll give him a kill as a welcome back present

<3

Darktalyn1

should work for me

Darktalyn1

Thorne's been stepping it up. Should be a good time.

When are you guys thinking for the weekend? I'm tied up for the morning/early afternoon of Saturday, but other than that I should be available if we can get it schedule ahead of time.
