You dirty, heartless bastard

I hear when you install the game, it installs a virus.

It's called Battlecruiser Millenium. Upgrade Norton/MS asap.

I'm pretty sure Norton is a virus as well. Maybe malware.

What a waste of bandwidth.

Three people have downloaded it so far.

Fear.

Things will slow down now that the Smart family have all downloaded it.

There are more of them?

3 People, eh? And assuming Serek Dmart already had it - I can only assume they are the 4 horseman of the apocalypse.

Would make sense.

I will have to try this... if I could stop playing a GOOD space game, Starport.

We're up to 13 downloads.

People suck.

16 downloads. Something crooked this way comes.

Edit: Please tell me we aren't listed as an official mirror.

People like free stuff.

Like moths to a flame.

I am not sure I have ever seen a moth drawn to a flaming turd.

Moths are smarter than gamers?

I have yet to see a moth post on the Vault.

Isn't that evidence enough?

I'll try it when I get home, I need to format and reinstall Windows anyways.

Beat me to that joke, bastard.

38 downloads.

You're making Baby Jesus cry, you know.

Baby Jesus died at 5 downloads. Right now an Old One is cowering in the corner.

The Old One was asking for it.

I'm guessing there really is a sucker born every minute, just that most of them don't have access to the internet.

This is easily the most entertaining download thread EVAR. Pain + time = comedy.

So I did download it and install it, just to see..

I never did figure out what was going on. I could get my guns to fire and move around and even hyper jumped (wtf? why is the moon 60 seconds away from earth while i'm going the speed of light? Did it move?) once.

Couldn't figure out how to get my 'urgent message', so I guess it wasn't that urgent. After trying to play through the Training and randomly taking damage and dying in a glorious explosion while I tried to figure out what was going on, I decided to start a campaign to see if it was any better.

Hmm, nope. I was able to warp to another system, though the autopilot wanted to do circles around the portal instead of going in. Then I saw some bad guys! So I targetted them.. and and tried to shoot them .. and nothing happened. I guess my missiles missed? All 4 of them? And I can't seem to target my lasers very well, since the ship is so slow - wonder if there's a way to target them independant of the ships direction. I ended up ejecting (the one command I remembered from the 8 page command list PDF) and dying.

And so, it wasn't a very fun hour.

You managed to play it ONE HOUR ?

You sir, are a man among men.

Time spent reading the manual does not count.

If you want to count time looking at the manual, that'd make it about an hour and 20 minutes. Seriously, I just floated around until I died. It just took some time. Fun!

Yea - but it took 5 years off your life.

Yeah, but they're the Depends-wearing years.

I just want to say Hi to download #45. Douche.

It called to me with the Siren Song of Shittiness.

I uninstalled it too fast for the Prt Scr button.

Ah my favorite type of lazy programming: putting shit on C: without approval.

Until you have fully studied and digested the manual, FAQ, every post on the board (include your spec in your sig or I'll insta-ban you), it's obviously your own ignorant ass to blame. And your computer probably sucks.

Go buy the new version, UCAWA. And don't fucking post on our tech boards until you have a clue, retard. How dare you.

Love, the Supreme Commander.

Update: I see you posted an installation issue without your full system specs. You've been banned (and consider yourself lucky, I usually ban without warning). Now go buy UCAWA.

Was that a direct quote, or just a damned good imitation?

I think he was channeling the "Good" Doctor.

Maybe I AM HIM!!  :evil:

Nah, I just knew the style because I had spent an hour reading their tech support forums while waiting for some friends to come over.

You'll never get that hour back. You sick, twisted fuck.

It could be worse. He could have tried to play the game for an hour.

It's really too bad.

Many sites (like this one) wax poetic for thousands of pages worth of posts about how nobody in the game industry has the cohones to try something different.  And finally someone like The Developer Who Shall Not Be Named actually goes out and tries it and gets assreamed for it...

In fact, if he wasn't such a raging douchebag about everything PR related I would be willing to give him some serious props for the effort! ;)

As has also been stated on this forum (and probably others) countless times, "different" on its own doesn't cut it - a game must also be "fun".

At this point, with big-budget MMOGs, I'd settle for "different." For console/computer games that are made for small scale multiplayer and single player? Fun is more of a necessity than different.

Since when are space sims different? I'm dying for a new and good one, but they are tried, true, and FAILED ( Well apart from Europe, where the X series is alive and well ).

Different means fuckall when the game either 1) requires a PHD from the Doctor's school in order to play, 2) has more bugs than a 1970's bug disaster attack flick, or 3) is just ball-licking boring. This was all 3.
