Charles just emailed us that a new build now has German "Potato masher" grenades in. previously the German squads threw grenades which looked round and like pineapple grenades. now the Germans throw proper "Potato Masher" grenades . A small touch but kinda cool. I wonder if it "tumbles" in flight? Hmm, I don't know yet since I don't have the build.. I'll have to check.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Didn't the Germans use a pinapple type grenade also?

I WAS actually thinking about trying it out, but I guess not. Another bit of info, three games that were released in the last week have had patches release already addressing bugs: Majesty (Microprose), Force Commander (Luca$Art$) (COME ON LUCAS! RELEASE THE TRILOGY AND EPISODE ONE ON DVD DAMN IT!), and the Heroes of Might and Magic add on. BTS, keep squashing bugs. Please don't do this to us... WE BEG YOU! Later

I am revoking your Sycophant status!!!! Madmatt <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I apologize, fellow engineer-boy! I just thought that Dr. S reminded me of...er wait a minute; maybe you reminded me of General Ripper, yeah, thats it. That movie should be required viewing for any and ALL people. Should be viewed many, many, many, many times.

Please God, someone to decipher for this NON-Postgraduate-blabla bla bla... Madmatt <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I'm so disappointed in you Madmatt You have never seen the classic end of the world Stanley Kubrick classic Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb? Dr. Strangelove is the crazy (mad) ex-Nazi scientist who is an "expert" about US atomic weapons, blah, blah, blah. Go rent it and laugh. Doesn't ANYONE remember this movie? You know, in the end, the B-52 pilot is riding the nuke waving his cowboy hat? Anyone, Bueller, Bueller? Hello?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Big Time Software: Trademarks can't be sold or given away in any form other than by the holder of said trademark. "World At War" was trademarked by Avalon Hill and those rights transfered over to Hasbro. In theory Matrix Games can't use that title (provided of course it was in fact trademarked). Steve<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I think the game's full title is Steel Panthers: World at War. Would this still violate the trademark? I wouldn't think so.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Madmatt: I take it back! I wanna be Casanova Frankenstein instead! And if not him then one of the Disco bandits! Man, I have to go and see/rent/buy that movie again! Anyone know if it hit the stores yet? Madmatt <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yes it is out. I am looking at a copy of it now......sure i'll watch it again. Fionn, I'm dying here. When I am going to get some proofreading to do? Or will that be more after the release? ELatvala

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Madmatt: So who is going to be The Bowler?!? Since the last girl to even be mentioned here let alone post was my girlfrined then perhaps she would make an applicable candidate. All I know is she was ready to knock some pins up side some guys head after she read that top ten list from a few weeks back... Madmatt <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Well, since you are Mr. Furious, your girlfriend can't be The Bowler. Your girlfriend is that lady who always waits on you when you are at the restaurant. Alright, everyone, where's that lady out there on this message forum? We need you as the bowler? Oh wait, I also forgot the Spleen. I won't even try to say who that might be. Any suggestions?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Allan: I give it a thumbs up too. It is definitely different, reminds me of some of the Pythons' creations in a way. I do not think it was well received because people did not know whether it was supposed to be an action movie , a comedy or a satire. I think it was all three. I vote Fionn for the Blue Raja. Allan<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Here are my votes for The Mystery Men... Madmatt = Mr. Furious (isn't it obvious?) The Sphinx = Fionn (he knows EVERYTHING) The Shoveler = Steve (hard at work...) The Blue Raja = Charles (what the hell's a Raja) Invisible Boy = Capt_Manieri (Where'd he go?) Captain Amazing = Anyone who can make something better than CM (not likely, but remember, he did croak at the hands of the Mystery Men.....) Just my 0.0000000000000002 cents worth [This message has been edited by CEO (edited 03-13-2000).]

Has everyone sent Combat Mission as there game they are waiting for the most yet? I don't see CM as this month's (April) winner. It is time to keep sending those requests in. Here is what you do: send an email to eyewitness@pcgamer.com with "Waiting Is The Hardest Part" in the subject heading and tell them Combat Mission is the game that has you dying with anticipation. Let's go people, START SENDING!!!!!!!!!!

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Fionn: What's the exact URL of the poll? I want to check it before making any decision.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Fionn, et al... I have a recent issue of PC Gamer in my hands right now. It is a column and it states: "So go ahead, send in another email to eyewitness@pcgamer.com with "Waiting Is The Hardest Part" as the subject line and tell us that you just can't wait for (insert fav. game here). ..." So, lets start flooding that email address...! Oh yeah, One lucky person gets drawn to win a free game or something. [This message has been edited by CEO (edited 03-01-2000).]

My darkest fear was that I would log on to the board this AM (from work, bad me) and see a demo. Why you ask… Because I blew out my f$%*ing mother board last night, that's why! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> We'll, when your motherboard, harddrive, monitor, vid. card go out, then its time to check for the demo.
