That had better not change to Wednesday, because it's my birthday and I'll be down the pub for most of it...

Nope GBee are you on the inside man?

Yeah I thought so. FN100 is going to tell us that Placebo is leaving BIS, because he is getting married... Hmmm, maybe not. Anyway, congrats Paul, best of luck to ya!!!

An update by Placebo that apparently has nothing 'specifically' to do with ArmA...

from "FlashNews 2006" topic  Well I don't know where to find that, not that it matters. I will just wait like everyone else, although I am really, really looking forward to Armed Assault...

Where do you get all this info from man?

"2 ready" "3 ready" "4 ready" "5 ready" "1, 2 engine on" "2 roger!" "oh no, 5 is down" lol

And that image on his first page has the old union-flag (Before Ireland)at the bottom of the page. I guess he suspects that Northern Ireland will be back in Irish hands by 2007. Oh yeah! Never noticed that...

This mod looks great, but just one thing. I think you need to proof-read your introduction. RUTHLESS is the correct spelling. How you have it spelt now means that your enemy leader guy will get wet when it rains. Also did you mean to call your hero Tommy AKTINS or ATKINS? It's best to get it right when that is the first thing that people who are new to your mod will read...

I was hoping they would still have the quotes when you die. That is awesome...

Nice, thanks for the link. And is there a link to that Google Earth screenie that he mentioned?

So what was in those pics he had to 'take down'? Or were they neverly actually shown?

That is a good quote to get the attention of all the BF fans. Â BF isn't a poorly designed game but I disliked it due to it...well..not being like the OFP I loved so much! Oddly enough, the only games that keep my attention for years are the single player ones. Flashpoint, Baldur's Gate II, Mafia... Well, if BF2 had great singleplayer missions, I would have liked it, but alas that really isn't the point of the series. Ahhh Mafia, what a game that was. Â And yet they slagged it off as just another GTA spinoff. Personally I think that GameSpot preview is actually very good, considering that most people believe the big boys like UbiSoft and EA pay GameSpot to write good reviews about their products... Â

We had a similar problem in Soldner, where some people (generally those with lower end systems) would turn the grass off. Others, with higher end systems, and those who wanted it for eye-candy, would leave the grass on. This was initially thought to give an advantage to those who had it off, as they could lay down and snipe whereas those with it on couldn't. But in the end it actually made little difference...

It has been so long since I played OFP, and I can't remember if vehicles had proper gears or not. Was there some sort of option so that you could enable them if you wanted? The reason I ask is because I have been playing World War 2 Online recently, and I love the driving in that game because it is so realistic. Perhaps if there aren't realistic gears for vehicles, could someone mod them, or is that way too much coding?

It wouldn't have to be that complicated. Â All you would have to do would be to press a button to go up a gear, and press another button to go down a gear, and then have a button to go into reverse... Â

From the interview: 'Besides photo-realistic graphics'. Ummm, I can't see them...

Whoa!!! I'm loving those city screenies...

Now we are so bored with waiting that we are learning Latin... It's rather 'sinister' I'd say... (Hint - find the origin of the word 'sinister'

If they haven't got a publisher after that GC thing, surely they are screwed? I voted 'Not Sure' by the way...

Why is it strange? Game Connection is a trade event for developers to meet in private with publishers, it's not an industry event such as E3. Well, GameSpot have an article on a game that was at this GC. Â They were actually there I believe to do the interview and such... EDIT - Actually I think that was something different...

ROFL - Nice one...

Noooooooooooo, not StarForce please!!! I hate that...

I'm confused...

Maybe you could check out the specs for an MMORPG server like EQ2 or Asheron's Call. Though of course, their enemies are Random Encounters so it probably wouldn't give you much of an idea...
