Too bad GIC is being published by Strategy First and Freedom Games is actually alot of the old gang from Atomic. Of course, all of you farkers already knew that! SomethingAwful pales in comparision to www.fark.com for humor and downright fun......

Currently under a foot of snow in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Crunchy frog??

I truly like the part where he can buy and sell all of us....on his home page it states he is 15. Start saving!

I see on his homepage that he is 15 years old. I would like to see how he will stop anything except his tricycle.

Stands outside the arena all night to be first in line. Ran to ringside seat. Ordered up a Schell's Deer Brand and calmly waited for the rematch to begin. Hope I don't miss this one!

Running (pant, pant)....'damn traffic' he mutters. Sees opening in line, cuts in front of a group of nuns. 'Where's the damn ticket?' he states under his breath. Finally inside arena. Get to seat. Pay $20 to kid next to me to get moi a cold one. Somebody taps my shoulder and asks Need a program?

Dead. The hosting company was sold off and then killed. Everything is being transferred to www.militarygamer.net. Forums will be up in a couple of days.

I do believe that Geocities revoked all rights to be able to do what you were trying Canuck! Happened a few weeks ago....

Came from an old MST3K episode where they were mocking/creating action hero names for a fictional movie like Steve Tungsten, Max Steel, etc; Vic Kevlar was their choice of their hero. Laughed so hard the wife thought was having a heart attack.

Too long..heehee B Co. 4/22nd INF 25th ID(L) B Co. 3/3rd INF 6th ID (L) Last 2 were in reserves with the 105th Infantry Brigade (roundout) for the 6th and 101st.

Here's more info...it is NOT going away (who's the idiot that started this thing without doing any research?) "The high-powered four-chip graphics card will only ship for workstations in order to let 3dfx focus on its next-generation chip. Tentatively slated to ship shortly after the Voodoo5 5500 did last May, the Voodoo5 6000 was expected to change the high-end graphics market this summer. After a long delay, 3dfx has announced that the four-chip graphics board has been licensed to Quantum3D. The card design will now fall into Quantum3D's AAlchemy line for workstation graphics. This change of plans will enable 3dfx to concentrate its limited engineering resources on delivering its next-generation graphics chip. The Voodoo5 6000 will be a monster performer, and we had the chance to see it in action at Comdex. The graphics board integrates four parallel VSA-100 chips, each with 32MB of dedicated memory for a total of 128MB. This design excels at powering very detailed scenes at high resolution. In the Quake III Arena benchmark 3dfx ran for us, the card delivered an impressive average of 65.1 frames per second at 1600 x 1200 with maximum detail and full-scene antialiasing (FSAA) enabled. Early in its development, one of the downsides of the card was the need for an external power adapter. However, Quantum3D has now managed to solve this inconvenience in its product, and an internal power connector will suffice. As for the future of 3dfx, the company is working to integrate the efficient tile architecture technology it received by acquiring GigaPixel earlier this year. Similar to PowerVR's approach, the new Mosaic graphics architecture will greatly increase efficiency by eliminating the overdraw that occurs in traditional designs. This overdraw forces traditional chips to do three or four times more work than necessary. 3dfx says its upcoming Mosaic designs will render FSAA and effects introduced with the new DirectX 8.0 with little effect on frame rate by processing these effects earlier in the pipeline. The next-generation 3dfx chip will not include Mosaic, but it will appear in the following generation. 3dfx also talked about its DirectX 8.0 plans. Microsoft released the new version of its graphics standard last Friday, and 3dfx has already released new drivers to support the API. Looking ahead, the company talked about increased support for features like programmable pixel shaders, vertex shaders, and vertex skinning, which Nvidia and ATI have been pushing in their current products. Other cool features that DirectX 8.0 will allow 3dfx to offer support for include the multisample buffer, which streamlines the performance of FSAA and other T-Buffer effects, and sprite points, which accelerate particle effects in explosions and similar events. 3dfx's business model is also changing. The company now produces its own products after acquiring boardmaker STB. Now it is looking into licensing its chip designs for integration into OEM and third-party products. 3dfx's long-term plans focus on licensing its technology for use in mobile, handheld, and wireless devices. In the meantime, 3dfx told GameSpot that it is committed to delivering products in a six to nine month product cycle, so we can expect that its next-generation chip will not be far off."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *sigh* The cc5 thread is getting depressing. The enemy are using the whine-till-bored and cry-for-mommey technique and it's just annoying. I expect soon to be removed from the cc5 thread and they can go back to their laughable discussions on history, on-board nebelwurfers and other such junk. *depressed* I believe most of replies stated to get the full version....playing the demo is for slack jawed wannabes. Of course, you can't purchase the full version since you're planning your big move out of mommy and daddy's basement. Your next big life event is discovering girls!

Alright, I went out to the CC site and read the full of Doug's statement since it appeared to be take out of context somewhat....here goes: Just stop it! NO MORE. Charley and company have every right to be proud of the game they have made. They couldn't find a publisher/distributor for it so they are guerella marketing it themselves. Nothing wrong with that. OTOH, there is something wrong with the actual execution. Be that as it may, there is also something wrong with the regulars from here launching, or even participating in, non-sequitir attacks on ANYONE. Just don't do it. If you don't have someting nice to say, don't say anything. Close Combat excepted since this forum is pretty much devoted to the CC bitch session, and that is a good thing we learn from that and I wouldn't have it any other way. Seriously. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE to at least give CM a try. Buy it if you even kinda like it. Hell, if you are a hardcore wargamer, buy it even if you DONT like it. Support the companies that are supporting wargamers. If you don't, soon there won't be any of us left. Atomic has never felt that we were in competition for the wargamer dollars. You guys are hobbyists and alot of you buy EVERY wargame that you can. So I don't mind CMs little marketing blitz, I understand it. Nor will I debate the skill with which it was executed and I hope no one will either. Consider this to be a retorhical statement that brooks no response. Doug It appears to me he was merely stating an opinion...not a put down of CM. Heck, he even encouraged everyone to at least try it. He is right, I believe, about all of us being wargamers at heart and pissing contests like what has been happening is pointless since we all buy pretty much the same stuff anyway (at least I do).
