Oops -- sorry, must have dozed off there. Hi: I am the last of the keepers of the csipgs-s FAQ. According to section 71.b (revision c.3) of the FAQ, we are not allowed to discuss D*r*k Sm*rt simulations here. Please submit your query (in triplicate) to any public utility office or post office for prompt processing. Good morning!

A random word generator from a dictionary of profanities?

A random word generator from a dictionary of profanities? You're correct. The amazing technical achievement though, worthy of a Ph.D., was hiding the word generator from the dictionary of profanities within an Excel spreadsheet and applying a seamless graphical interface that contains seams. >>>> as topic said,i just got BC millenium,after playing a lot with >>>> bc3000.but right now,'i'm seeing UC screenshots...it seems almost [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Excel spreadsheet and applying a seamless graphical interface that contains > seams. Observation: fully 100% of this month's posts consist of Bill Huffman obsessing over D*r*k Sm*rt. You cyber-stalker, you. So, Bill, how ya doin'?

I'm doing most wonderful, thanks. Sorry that I didn't respond sooner but I was hoping that I could maybe win some kind of cyber stalking award for two months in a row. >>>>>> as topic said,i just got BC millenium,after playing a lot with >>>>>> bc3000.but right now,'i'm seeing UC screenshots...it seems almost [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > was hoping that I could maybe win some kind of cyber stalking award for two > months in a row. What on earth for? You're already got a lock on "Best in Class: Cyber-Stalker". Are you trying for some kind of lifetime achievement award? :) It still pains me that this groups is dead. We had some good laughs. I still harbor fond memories of the "Derek Smart and Toadies vs. Detractors" Unreal Tournament. Of course, the idea was actually better than the event -- IIRC it was Lemming's idea and Derek Smart reluctantly agreed, but since no actual Toadies could be found I volunteered to be a designated Toadie. As it turned out, Derek Smart was a no-show and I didn't have the proper maps installed, so the "Tournament" ended up being Brad Martin vs. Lemming with me mercilessly pinging the server out of frustration. I think you'll agree, this event was a fine distillation of much that was good about c.s.i.p.g.s-s.

Of course we couldn't all argue the same old stuff for ever but it seems a shame that all the old people (both sides included) are still around in disparate locations yet we can't pull us all together.

Perhaps I'm just succumbing to nostalgia but even without the old flamewar I'm sure we could find much to discuss, a group of crotchety, miserable and downright clever bastards like the gang of old could surely still produce good interaction in these interesting times. ? brad >>>>>>>> as topic said,i just got BC millenium,after playing a lot with >>>>>>>> bc3000.but right now,'i'm seeing UC screenshots...it seems almost [quoted text clipped - 48 lines] > It's understandable that this group withered Bret, Usenet just lost > out to the browser gods, Huh -- I still haunt Usenet and don't do web forums.

Hey! I have an idea! Let's put on a show! My uncle has an old barn, you can sew costumes, and ... uh ... wait. I guess the old Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney schtick just won't work anymore. What the hell are you supposed to do when you're too old to date Judy Garland and you grow up to become the uncle with the old barn? Of course, I'm going to feel foolish if the answer is "use web forums". > I'm no web spurt so I wouldn't know how to begin > but there were certainly some amongst us who could set up a forum and > call in the old members. That sounds kewl, but I sure don't have the mad skillz to us get there. Maybe we should just annex an existing group? > Perhaps I'm just succumbing to nostalgia but even without the old > flamewar I'm sure we could find much to discuss, a group of crotchety, > miserable and downright clever bastards like the gang of old could > surely still produce good interaction in these interesting times.

(Sorry I don't seem to make much sense when I get all sentimental.) >It still pains me that this groups is dead. We had some good laughs. I >still harbor fond memories of the "Derek Smart and Toadies vs. Detractors" Speaking of Derek Smart, he's quite active right now in the Blues News thread about the DRM scheme of Mass Effect and Spore. In the golden days of flame-war, that kind of thread would have kept the woods burning for about an year. It has everything. BC3K history, sales numbers, security at Smart Estate and the dogs he own, PhD, calling people pirates in one short statement then posting a 100 line essay about what he actually meant... I agree with most of what he is saying over there. -- Noman >>It still pains me that this groups is dead. We had some good laughs. I >>still harbor fond memories of the "Derek Smart and Toadies vs. Detractors" [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > people pirates in one short statement then posting a 100 line essay > about what he actually meant... Yeah, every once in a while I take a look at what he's working on. What I'd really like to see is an announcement that he's developing "Wii Battlecrooz", a Wii port of BCM utilizing easily-remembered motion-controls for each keyboard command. For example, if you wanted to switch to the TacOps screen, instead of "Alt-S" you do the "Mashed Potato"; and to fire lasers, instead of "Shift-Ctrl-Scroll Lock" you do the arm motions for the Village People's "YMCA". I tell ya, it'd knock "Wii Fit" right off the shelves. > I agree with most of what he is saying over there. Right. For old time's sake, then: *BING* Bret {...} [Drek stuff canned] >Right.

Almost none, to be honest. Originally Universal Combat was to be called BC NG or something fancy like that. Then the publisher, in a rare case of convincing DS to do something instead of the other way around, got DS to agree to the name change to "Universal Combat", to emphasize the variety of career the game allows. Instead of just a ship command, the game allows for ground combat, vehicle combat, flyer combat, space fighter combat, naval combat, AND starship combat. Thus, Universal Combat. ;) |
