I've been threatening to get a new rig for a few years now. And I've gotten back into playing CM, and I'd like it to be a bit spiffier looking than it is at present. Probably because my box is from 2012, with an AMD A10-5700 APU with a 3.40 GHz Radeon graphics card.
But I don't want to drop a bundle.So the search goes on.

Does it tell you anything at all if I tell you that I don't even know what a PBEM++ means?
Don't two ++s equal a - ? Wait... how does that work again? Two --s equal a + and the rabbit goes around the tree twice and seven gallons equals a quarter parsec... or sumfink.

Ladies, ladies...
You're BOTH pretty. -
Oh Good Gawd! ng cavscout's here, watch the property values plummet.
"What was that horrible scream I heard?"
"Oh, that's just all hope and joy dying because that long-neck swilling Canookistani Wannabe walked in the room!"
ng!! How ya doing buddy?

Serfs should remember to bold the name of their "betters" even if, as in Boo's case, that means agonizingly stretching & twisting the definition of the word.
An email will be sent... soon-ish.
Is he one of yours? Dear Gawd, it's worse that what I imagined.
It's like... watching an episode of Sesame Street, but with the puppets replaced by sessile molluscs.

NEVER sniff a Knight!
(Boring nonsense SNIPPED because i wanted to)
I, Sir Sir Sir 37mm, The Leading Light of the House of JD Morse, Thrice denied Ex-Messiah of the Mutha Beautiful Thread, Show trial Prosecutor for Opus Dei, Last Knight Standing, Leader of Heaven & Earth, Lord of All in One & Breaker of Games do grant you Sir @Boo Radley the prestigious privilege of being schooled, by me, in the fine art & traditions of Combat Mission.
(More nonsense SNIPPED because it's fun!)
(Raises one shaggy eye brow, derisively)
You call that a challenge, Lad?
Egads, how you do drone on. Been taking elocution lessons from Hiram, have you?
I've been challenged by the likes of Peng, Seanachai, Berli, OGSF (I think... with his accent it's hard to tell if he's challenging you or gargling broken glass), MrSpkr, and Elvis, and all these men STOMPED upon the earth!
Sigh... but I guess this is what happens when you have a latch-key Squire. You try to teach them to raise their sword high, but when they do, they end up sticking it into a light socket.
Sad, really.
You can send me a set up, lad. Attack, Defend or ME. Do you prefer Drop Box or E-mail?
-
Seriously, before I do anything more to this game, I need to buy a new rig. This puppy's 10 years old and is slower that Sir Sir 37mm's wit. And if that were any slower, it would be in reverse.

Not MG? You are missing out so very dearly.
I want to see if I still want to play before I drop some more cash into it.

Yep, I have everything. Do you want to pick a good map and get it set up?
I'll pm you with email addy for drop box
Will do-ski.

Sounds good. Like I said, I have CMBN with the Vehicle Pack and CW, but not MG. You okay with that?

Tis I, Boo Radley, Assistant Emergency Back Up Justicar of the Peng Challenge Thread (Long may she wave!)
Former Squire of Croda of the Nefarious Legions, of the House JD Morse!
I have fought against the likes of Joe Shaw, Berligtingen, Peng Hisself, and Squired Nidan 1 (RIP)
I challenged the Legendary Emrys (But he didn't like to play humans, so what can you do?)
I'm just getting back into the swing of things, haven't played in ages and am relearning the game. So far, I've lost the last three games, so there's that to look forward to.
Anybody up for a QB?

Admins, you can remove this. Someone told me what I was doing wrong and it's all nice and shiny now.

1000 pages and 1M views, well safe to say that this thread has expunged the shame of the Peng Thread being the largest and mostest longest on the forum. This is now the Forum Thread of Legend...we well all be able to tell our grandchildren that we were here, and they will all think we are lying about it - which is the exact opposite situation with aforementioned Peng Thread.
Pfffft! I wave my hand at your thread. WE actually BROKE the forums with the MBT (Long May it Wave).
We were GIANTS among lesser mortals!
And don't you forget it, Sparky!

I was never more than a gnat on the MBT, but a gnat can be highly efficient in the mass-to-annoyance ratio, if employed correctly.
I never met any of the posters in three dimensions, and that might be for the better, as they loomed large online. In spite of the reputation of the cesspudlians, I knew they were an inherently silly and decent lot, with the possible exception of Dorosh.
It needs to be remembered that the real unspoken purpose of the thread was to allow civil men to get in touch with their innate hate. Now for the youngsters out there, I don’t mean the discounted, pouty and petty everyone-I-disagree-with-is-literally-Hitler, Instagram-empowered, overly-hyphenated thing we call hate these days. No, our aggressions were macro and very pointy indeed. The challenges were a form of preparation, like a meat tenderizing hammer on the insensate slab of meat that was your opponent. The verbal blows would rouse them to awareness, get them engaged, because that was the only way to extract the right kind of hate out of them. Make them pull themselves up only to make the fall that much better, for nothing brings out the pure hate than having the mandala of your beautiful strategic vision blurred by an opponent constantly banging the underside of the table. Your Tiger’s been defanged by a lucky shot. The ATG in the perfect position uncrewed by a stray artillery shell. Discovering the hard way the tank you thought was hull down isn’t. Turn after turn the design gets contorted, deformed, and corrupted, and you can begin to smell the hate coming from the other end of the e-mail. This form of hate goes deeper than politics, religion, or even relationships. It is primal, a liquid black opal straight from core of your opponent. One drop in the city water would give 1000 children scabies, but to a proper knight of the ‘pool having your opponent hate you was far better than victory. It kept you warm in the darkness…
In those days event the gnats swaggered. Women clutched their heaving bosoms for fear of being overcome by the sheer testosterone dripping from every post. Yes, we had women in the pool, erm… three of them I think, and one of those ended up being a dude, but it was NOT NEARLY AS LAME AS THAT JUST SOUNDED!
Special recognition to my liege Boo Radley. I shall always be the Wormtongue to your Sharky.
Wherever some mouth breathing halfwit is being upbraided, a garter being verbally snapped, or plans are thwarted by happenstance and lesser men, the Pool lives on.Lurker, you mewling, inbred fey artiste Nimrod. Thick as a short plank sandwich is what you are. Have you actually made bail? Who slipped up this time? WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS INDIGNITY???
Joe Shaw shall hear about this!
Dear Gawd, how does this UBB code thingy work, anyhow? -
Elvis is the "dog's danglies"? I need to write that down.

I wish I still had them. All in all, they were the most fun I ever had with a joystick.
Michael
Knowing you, (not that I really do... not in THAT way... not that there's anything WRONG with that, mind you) I can only imagine that your concept of "fun" with a joystick is something that even a mink breeder would not tolerate.

seems Emrys got loose.
A loose Emrys? Try some Immodium AD.

Emrys is still alive and not confined to a rubber room somewhere? Someone obviously slipped up!

Quite interesting.

A Hot Wheels Advent calendar. Yup. Civilization is officially over, boys and girls.

I love making my opponents angry so they snarl and show their teeth.

Again, that's a tautological statement.

Aw feck. Entropy sucks. A tip o' me hat to those that have been dragged to the next plane. It makes me sad they're not here, but a bit jealous at what they may have discovered. Life is a story, and the ending sucks, but the sequel is likely amazing.
Thanks to this thread and the many who made it real. Stuka was my sponsoring Kanniggit, and many were the games I played with Berli and Nidan1. Their passing, as most do, have diminished this world. I toast those of the MBT who have passed, and all of us who eventually will. Helluva ride, eh?
Oh, and I hate the lot of you. Deeply.
Impossible. You're far too shallow to do anything deeply.

How is it you keep getting out of the restraints? I told them to use a shock collar, but did they listen? Nooooo!
New Computer won't load game
in CM2 General Tech Support
Posted · Edited by Boo Radley
Finally, after 12 years, I got a new rig.
I've tried to load CMBN from my orders page on the website, but I get this screen.
I don't know if it's because the file is so old and isn't configured for newer computers or what, I'm on Windows 11 at the moment
Thanks in advance.
