  1. What on Gods green earth are you trying to say? Still huffing spray on jock itch medicine?

    Read recently where your government might authorize the euthanasia of mentally deficient people . I thought of you and cried, run my little retard run.

    My gawd, Watcher. What is your major malfunction!?

    You would not recognize superior rhyming if it hit you in the face like a load of piss from the bucket.

    You are beyond repair I fear.

    Ni!

  2. You know, the mouldy crowd of the Cesspool really needs someone impartial. A referee kind of chap. To determine winners in taunting contests, rhyme rivalries and that kind of things. Someone above the different Houses (where is Moriarty anyways?). Impossible to bribe. Immune to sucking up. Impervious to silly insults from hairy old men. A prog rock fan. Someone like....me!

    Ni!

  3. I thought I had been able to suppress my yearning for a new PC with the following arguments:

    "You don't really need a new PC."

    "Your current one will do for a few more years."

    "If you behave like a man, not like a boy, you can withstand those annoying evergrowing Battlefront-PC-performance demands. You don't NEED Red Thunder and the rest!!!"

    "You can use the money for wiser things."

    But when I saw the Black Sea announcement I felt doubt creep up again, and if I keep looking at this AAR I know I am defenseless; soon my home will be invaded by a new PC.

    Since I only played BF's WW2 games, I'm very curious how this modern warfare battle plays out.

    Just one question Bill: have you considered to ignore the isolated group and go straight for the reliefparty with all you've got?

    Good luck and thanks again for days of excitement.

    Welcome back Seedorf81. Of course you need a new pc. And that is a wise thing to do. Money is boring, a new pc is fun. You NEED Red Thunder and you NEED Black Sea. Just say...yes :D

  4. Dang, I forgot the Oddstrayliuns. Sorry bout that Stuka. Hmm, let's see:

    In early 1606 Willem Janszoon encountered and then charted the shores of Australia's Cape York Peninsula. The ship made landfall at the Pennefather River in the Gulf of Carpentaria on 26 February 1606. This was the first authenticated landing of a European on Australian soil. Other Dutch explorers include Dirk Hartog, who landed on the Western Australian coast, leaving behind a pewter plate engraved with the date of his landing; and Abel Tasman, for whom Tasmania was eventually named—he originally called it Van Diemen's Land after a senior member of the Dutch East India Company. Maps from this period and the early 18th century often have Australia marked as "New Holland" on account of the voyages of these Dutch explorers

    So all was well in the beginning. New Holland no less. But what went wrong I wonder? Ow wait, it was the ... English.

    A Fleet of British ships arrived at Botany Bay in January 1788 to establish a penal colony

    What a shame, all downhill from there, I'm afraid. The English were on a roll. Oz never recovered. The Dutch (bless them) tried to reverse the fortunes of the poor Oddstrayliuns by sending boat loads of aid workers in the 1950's and 1960's. Alas, to no avail. Damn shame really.

    You could try to petition us to take you back in our glorious kingdom as a slightly backward province. Who knows, maybe Oz will be a better place then after a few generations. Worth a try I guess. You would become a serf to the House of Orange. If you behave well, you may make it to squire :D

  5. Ah, yeah, name calling. Faint echoes of the olden days when the English were time and again soundly trashed by our tiny nation. Emrys probably still remembers this vividly:

    The Raid on the Medway, in June 1667, ended the war with a Dutch victory. It is considered one of the most humiliating defeats in British military history: a flotilla of ships led by Admiral de Ruyter sailed up the river Thames, broke through the defensive chains guarding the Medway, burned part of the English fleet docked at Chatham and towed away the Unity and the Royal Charles, pride and normal flagship of the English fleet. The greatly expanded Dutch navy was for numerous years after the world's strongest. The Dutch Republic was at the zenith of its power.

    Over 300 years ago, and still not over it. How sad.

    Lucky for us, English culture has contributed greatly to the Dutch vocabulary. Especially one particular English four letter word starting with an f comes to mind...

    Ow, and thank you for the great English contribution to cuisine. You have given the world greasy fish and chips, served in a classy newspaper. And horrible, horrible beer.

    The Scots on the other hand...

  6. We've actually improved many of the infantry animations for Black Sea. Not all of the animations have been replaced, but many have been improved with more realistic poses. Plus, the most common weapons have much better hand placement. It was a ton of work for our animator Webwing (doing infantry animations, even things that you would think are very simple, is very time consuming), but I think it was worth it. I'm looking forward to showing them when we've gotten a bit further with the infantry art.

    Splendid! Just what the doctor ordered. Jolly good.

  7. I guess it's only natural that a place full of old farts smells like this. But I am fond of old farts, even of that venerable fartmeister Emrys. I mean, what would the world be without smelly old farts? A piss poor place I say.

    Hairy old men on the other hand...

    Talking of hairy old men, here is one:

    You guess were all the hair grows (hint: not on the head)...

  8. I think we've taken enormous strides in the last couple years. The 2.0 version of the engine really was a major upgrade - the rendering pipeline was entirely rewritten. The 3.0 version of the engine included enormous structural and practical performance improvements.

    So far this engine still seems to be the best of it's kind. For me at least, the continued upgrade of the existing is working pretty well. For such a small company, I think you guys are doing a great job.

    I do feel that the animations could use some love. Especially the running and hunt animations. That would make a big difference, at least for me. And yes, special effects could use a boost. Immersion, immersion, immersion.

    But this engine has enough life left in it to soldier on (with gradual improvements) for quite some years IMHO.

  9. Thanks WillemO! You are welcome!

    The repository is not exactly user friendly and could use some love. But I can find my way around there. For a list of sceanrios sorted by author, you could look at this:

    http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=314&func=select&id=60&orderby=5&page=3

    It is sorted on submitter (sorting on author seems bugged, but submitter and author are mostly the same anyway).
