this is a great topic... anyways, i wish i could find the sources, but i remember seeing pictures from the gulf war of a couple of M1A1 Abrams that had been bit a couple of times each by, but weren't taken out by hits from iraqi tank guns. both abrams' were sitting there with APDS darts sticking out of their turret sides. it was kind of funny: with the end of the dart (fins and all) sticking out in the air, they kina looked like NERF weapons! shane [ January 02, 2003, 05:00 PM: Message edited by: caligula_jones ]

here's a better picture, though it's a model... i couldn't find any good "real" photographs: sdkfz 251-21

done... i usually don't vote for stuff like this, but hell! it's an early christmas! 8^) this would make a sweet Xmas presets... hehe shane [ December 11, 2002, 01:54 PM: Message edited by: caligula_jones ]

say hello to our new robotic masters! The Self-Healing Minefield

nah, the BTS crew is probably sitting around somewhere, smoking and drinking, and forgetting to release the patch.

methinks that the nosebleeds aren't being caused by age...

update: i just upped my system clock to 150MHz, and my video card (GF4 4200ti 128M) to 298MHz core, 550MHz memory. now my good, old 1.33GHz athlon is just about as fast as a P4 2.0GHz. and, as the final icing on the cake, my 3DMark2001 SE score went up to 10347!!! ah, hotrod budget computers... killing germans hasn't ever looked so good!

i just installed the 40.72 drivers, and everything works great... my 3dmark score even went from about 9000 to 9950! system specs i haven't tried CMBB w/anitialiasing yet, as for stability and framerate's sake i keep it off. my curiosity has been aroused, and i'll check that tommorow. shane

*bump* i'm living in berkeley... and would do almost (but not quite) anything to get a stab at a preview. shane

what *i* want to see is all 12 guys from my 12-man squad running around. also, the ability to have more skins per object, and have the ability (automatic or in-game) to manage them. i would just love to have 4 different-looking (same model) PZ-IIIs on the screen at once! a nice full-length campaign might be cool, too. shane

'gerfingerpoken' comes from this little diatribe that was once posted in every computer ops room in the world: ACHTUNG! ALLES LOOKENSPEEPERS! Das computermachine ist nicht fuer gefingerpoken und mittengrabben. Ist easy schnappen der springenwerk, blowenfusen und poppencorken mit spitzensparken. Ist nicht fuer gewerken bei das dumpkopfen. Das rubbernecken sichtseeren keepen das cotten-pickenen hans in das pockets muss; relaxen und watchen das blinkenlichten. see: http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/blinkenlights

heh, after going CMBO-less for about a month, i finally posted my sadness to you guys... ...which made me remember exactly where to look! i found it within 15 mins of me hunting for it. anyways, yeah: i just made my backup copy, in case it gets "cleaned" somewhere else in the future.

yay! i found my CD!

wow, two posts in one day... i guess i'm not lurking anymore. i've been a gamer for close to 20 years now, and pretty hardcore about it. CMBO is the best game i've played, ever. and now we have this *and* CMBB coming out. i can't wait until both are tied together. massive army sweeps, and zooming down to certain areas to duke it out in person. man, imagine a PBEM game with different levels of command, using 100s of people. keep up the good work, guys. i can't wait to get my grubby hands on this baby. shane

sigh... i would like to share with you a fate that few a young (and not so young) man should want to face: i cleaned my desk, and my CD disappeared. only a week previously, i had modded it out and taken a break from playing. i've been playing is straight through since, sheesh, it was released. i guess it's time to start playing multiplayer. heh, i just need to re-wire my house to make my box the router. oh boy! (now do ya feel my pain, brothahs?) shane
