Um, excuse my newbiness but why is every thread like this called "Peng"\ something-or-other"? Is it b'coz Mr. Peng founded the first ever Peng thread and it has just caught on from there or what's the story? .... now if I could just find that F*%@#ing envelope that has my cheque and order for CM in it I could send it off and get the damn game! Yeh, yeh, I misplaced a cheque worth A$120 - I know it's around here somewhere under all this other paper I use for scribbling on....

I use BlackIce as an anti-hack device and I am amazed at how many people checking out my PC are actually looking for the Subseven Trojan program. (For what reason I don't know)

Well, even if you can't get it unbogged - you've got yourself a nice little pillbox Bwuahahahaha!

Uh-oh.... *smells another m0rph1uz/chi-chi incident coming on* Oops wrong forum hehe. WWW.TAuniverse.com

Ah well, sh*t happens eh?

How about Rammstein, I mean it's german - ok a little too hard for yuz I'll shut up now.

I'd have to say that SPR is the most realistic war movie I've seen so far, realistic being in a "show all, hide nothing" type of way. Just the way I like my war movies. Pity it's hard to find ones as good as that - any suggestions? As for the bird in the purple top, yes very mmm mm mmmmmmmmmm.

...is a Cesspooler? Will I become one? Is it a good thing to be? Will my moral, spiritual, or life values be affected by it/them/if I become one? Questions, Questions, Questions.... Any answers, answers, answers?

bump - sorry, couldn't resist =)

Haven't sent me order yet (too lazy to walk to the post office) but I hope to muster the lack of apathy so I can get my very own copy of CM soon. I'm from Melbourne, Australia BTW.

I second that Maximus - ROFLMAOTID!!!

...or the Pink Panther? Can't remember who did that though...

Couple of others: IMHO - In my humble opinion IMO - as above but not humble

Hehe, I think you need to take a break from CM - futile as it may be.

I was wondering how easy it was to build and "install" new units into CM, I have played Total Annihilation for the past 3 years and have got into 3rd party unit making 8 months ago. Since I discovered the hidden treasure that is CM I have been interested in having more units (vehicles) in the game, the Australian Sentinal AC1 in particular. In Total Annihilation (TA) units were modeled using Rhino3D or other similar 3D modelling programs, then the other parts of the model was added - scripting, build pics, animation .gafs, and other parts necessary to make the model "work". After this process was done, the models directory with sub-direcs for each script/3D model/pic etc was compressed and compiled into a single (.hpi) file that the game would automatically load when starting. Doubtless CM and TA use different kinds of 3D engines but seeing as CM is so "moddable" it seems only logical (to me anyways) that 3rd party units would not seem too much trouble.

I watched Saving Private Ryan (yet again) tonight and paid special attention to the tracked motorbike thingy that "Ryban" and another bloke head out on to lure the Germans into the village. Question is: What was the actual name of these things and what were they specifically used for? My guess is recon - but maybe something more? What strikes my attention is the fact that this vehicle I have only ever seen in SPR and no other war movies or documentaries.

Right! That's it! I am going to go down to the bank tommorrow before I go to work and get my cheque for US$60 so I can post off to get MY copy of CM ASAP! Playin the demo is drivin me batty! Yesterday I played "Valley of Trouble" (again) and gave myself a 200% advantage for a laugh. To cut a long story short, I belted the living crap outta the town (spared the church) and leveled it with artillery before walting my 10 remaining tanks in (lost 6) and taking several... er flags, before the lousy hun bastards (yeh I watched Patton tonight too) decided to surrender on the 24th turn. As it turned out I massacred those dirty bastards with my artil fire and the best the computer could give me was a DRAW??? Grrrrr - never mind, soon I'll get my own copy of CM and wont have to play V of T anymore. >

Hope yuz all have a bloody good Chrismas and get sh*tfaced tommorrow - I know I will be!

..and I wish I had a toilet seat made out of solid gold but it just aint in the books baby!

Geez this topic is so soaked in sarcasm if I were to wring it out I could fill up a bloody swimming pool!

Just like in "Saving Private Ryan" eh - legendary movie that...

Aye the 'ol 308 can go super 'ard when it's got the right work done to it. Drag-built Toranas go like buggery on the strip - Blown 454s with Nitros online - get 8-9 secs no probs.

For myself I intend to watch the developement of this game VERY closely, because it's a dream come true. Although some may say that it will never work for whatever reasons, I prefer to look on the positive side and wait and hope for the best. Looking at the Videos on the site really got my mouth watering too. My only problem will be the lag times I think (being from Australia) and if these are excessive enough to deny me reasonable gameplay I would be severly disappointed. But if there is one positive post on this topic that supports your project 100% - it's this one! Keep it up guys!
