MrSpkr Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 w00t! I am there! What is that, about 4 hours from Dallas? I've never been to snigger Aggieland before. You do have a decent pub down there, don't you? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seimer Posted July 11, 2002 Author Share Posted July 11, 2002 Not to worry, I'm not an Aggie. heheheh Yup, there are quite a few beer joints in town, but there are still 17,000 Aggies here in sumnmer school. The drive is more like 3 to 3 1/2 hours depending on where in Dallas you live. E-mail for address and driving directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pak40 Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Would you mind if I stopped by in mid August? I will be on vacation in Houston and Dallas areas at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uhduck Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 I haven't visited the Dixie Chicken since my wife graduated in 1995. This might be a good opportunity to check out CMBB and visit Aggieland's most famous drinking establishment. Check your email Seimer and thanks for hosting this demo.

Wolfpack Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Any chance of an early preview? I'm moving to Florida on the 25th, but if I could sneak in before that, I'd be most grateful seeing as how I live in San Antonio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seimer Posted July 12, 2002 Author Share Posted July 12, 2002 Wolfpack-- <checking my calendar> I travel quite a bit-- e-mail with the days between now and when you leave and lets see if we can work something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seimer Posted July 16, 2002 Author Share Posted July 16, 2002 Any more coming? I have about four-- got to establish logistics plan for pizza, beer, bar-b-que, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 Is anyone from Houston interested in car pooling? As cool as it would be to go, I don't feel driving the whole way. I'll definitely chip in for gas, beer, show girls, etc. [ July 15, 2002, 09:22 PM: Message edited by: Alan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hakko Ichiu Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 I'll be in Arlington on that day and may have some free time in the p.m. What time is the demo, and how long is the drive from Arlington? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanachai Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 Originally posted by Seimer: but there are still 17,000 Aggies here in summer school. How many Aggies does it take to eat an armadillo? Three. Two to watch for headlights, while the third has a go at the carcass. I find the concept of Texans being given a sneak preview of CMBB absolutely disgusting. Although I'm glad that even a naysayer of House Bard, like MrSpkr, has a chance to enter into the promised land. The biggest question for those of us in America has always been: How can we convince the Mexicans to accept Texas back, without agreeing to a repatriation of the current populace to the rest of America?

Wolfpack Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 Just wanted to say that I went out to Seimer's house yesterday. He was kind enough to give me an early preview since I'm moving in the next day or two. Everyone who goes is in for a treat, Him and his wife are great hosts (Free pizza...a huge plus in my book ) and then I got to see CMBB for a while. Hearing some of the things that have gone into the decision making process was very nice, and the love and detail shows. Got to play USTanker in a TCP/IP match...well, got to have my rear handed to me by USTanker in a TCP/IP anyway. I didn't have a whole lot of time to see some of the things I wanted to, but what I saw was really, really nice. If anyone wants to ask anything I'll try to answer. BTW...when you go...have him show you the partisan scenario. You'll see a traffic jam from hell. Edit: The mouse view movement is a nice improvement in my opinion. If you've played Shogun or Medieval Total War, it's just like that. Once you get used to it, it makes things much easier.

Fionn Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 Oh the partisan scenario is one of my favourites. I forget who did it but it's a lovely scenario and a nice change of pace from the sort of thing which dominated CM:BO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrold Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 I think I watched JasonC play this scenario or something similar at Rune's place. It did have a different flavor than anything I had seen before. The scope and breadth of scenarios that the designers will be able to present soon is going to be fantastic.
