Shall we play a game?

Post by bio » Mon Oct 11, 2004 5:14 am

Heh... I'm gonna take a stab at starting a clan.

We're gonna play Tribes Vengeance, UT 2004, BF1942 DC, and Spider Solitaire competitively.

My goal is to either come in first on the OGL, or dead last.

Could be fun either way :-)

Anyway... clan wwbd is here.

EDIT: I decided it was ugly and redid it with my patented "el-quicko" photoshop skillz. Yellow is pretty... ruddy is not.

Nice setup. If I could actually play those games I'd join, but... well... I suck so there it is. :)

Maybe if I can get my home PC setup and working I'll join and be the decoy.

The sniper rifle in UT2004 and Tribes Vengeance have changed a bit.

I'm sure they'll allow you to have one now :-)

It didn't.

The sniper rifle is exactly the same as before with one exception... it produces smoke when you fire.

After about 2 shots, it's so smokey in front of the rifle that you either have to move or wait for it to blow away so you can see again.

That should make it easier on Face.

Now, as soon as I can afford one or the other (UT04 or TV), I'll let my hands go numb as I join the fun!

Having tried both, my choice'll be UT04 - the hardware just seems more fun, though I like the bit in TV where you can change out your outfit entirely.

Heh... I'm pry gonna turn the website into a parody of a clan page.

Screencaps of clan battles via MS Hearts, a gallery of images of the clan (all dead guys lying on the ground), etc.

Should be funny! :-)

It r0x0rZ!!

The maps are pretty spiffy... bombed out cities, huge landscapes, etc. Very pretty, lots of things to see, plenty of room to fill the air with disks.

I may have to stop by the store and pick up a copy. For the first time in my life, I'm sitting on a truely bitchin computer, and I have yet to play a decent game on it. Aftershocks of the AC addiction me thinks.
