Merry Chrismas!

Being atheistic, I got to open presents first thing in the morning!

I got:

1x Kickass Stereo, with two huge speakers, three CD holders, two tape players, and enough power to rival the Thyferrian Screamer.

2x Awesome Blues CDs: Albert King: King of the blues guitar (Behind Roy Buchanan, of course), and Crucial Blues Guiter, with songs by Luther Allison, Johnny Winter, Albert Collins, Roy Buchanan, Lonnie Mack, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Gatemouth Brown, Coco Montoya, Son Seals, Little Charlie and the Nightcats, Tinsey Ellis, Dave Hole, Michael Burks.

Countless other stuff, but those are my favorites. I also got the Homeworld 2 Demo.

I got me a t.v. loadsa smellies and socks (it's all down hill from here)

And on the subject of act of war I'm beta testing the new expansion pack

We're celebrating Christmas later because things got crazy this year. It works for me because I don't have my shopping done and the prices and crowds will be way down.

[7th_Panzer]

I got the typical. A shirt two sizes too small and a piece of ass two sizes too big.

Just kidding, a saying from my uncle.

I got the world's smallest digital camera, a Ju88 Stuka model, Battlefield 2 for Xbox, a razor, some frizbee golf disks, a wireless card for my notebook, a wallclock, a spice rack, and a lot of other stuff.

Wow that's pretty cool

Usually I get a videogame or two, a few movies (one to three), and some other odds and ends. Best christmas was last year, a Gateway laptop (wireless router connection so the internet works all over the house, and it runs Generals), I-Robot and a cell phone. I forgot what else.

[Ace22]

Nice, 7nth. Oh, and congradulate your uncle on that phrase.


Guys, I know the perfect game we can put War Games on!


Homeworld 2. Perfectly 3d, as in you can have your forces come down and attack your enemy from the top. Near Xbox 360 graphics. And best of all, Sierra made a pack and tutorial on how to manipulate INI files and make new ships. Check out the game's site here: Official site

and the graphics here: Well of Souls

Good idea Ace! I have absolutely no idea how to mod a game, but I can help give you all the Stargate info you'll ever need right down to the order of the symbols on the gate (eventually, maybe) and maybe some Star Trek info (I'm not an extreme Trekkie but I do know the general story)

[Ace22]

Whoa, whoa. We can code the stuff, but we need a 3D modeller.

*glances at Vanguard*

I only have the demo, but I think I can convince Dad into getting the whole game, then I can get the INI pack, but I would still need 3D models from someone.

[link.the.first]

Do you have the whole engine on the demo? I'm not 100% sure how that works. If you do then you could probably start by modding the demo.

[Ace22]

I think that that's illegal, and not possible anyway, as it doesn't have the higher-end ships, like Battlecruiser.

[link.the.first]

Just to get an idea on how to mod the game around that engine so when you get the full game you start with something.

[Ace22]

Working on it.

Merry Christmas one last time.

[crave22]

Merry Christmas, all!

Yeah, I've been watching a mod for Homeworld 2 for a while. A Star Wars mod, actually. Looks good. Maybe I'll ask for HW2 for my b-day.

Then again... we can always wait for Empire at War... According to the released minimum specs, it can run on a PC from '98!

[link.the.first]

wow a modern game mine can actually run!

When was Homeworld 2 made?

[Ace22]

I think in 2002 or somewhere around there. You must get it!

The AI is amazing!

Easy: straight on assaults, but with lots of fighters and bombers.

Normal: amazing! I fought against it tooth and nail for thirty minutes and I didn't get anywhere!

[link.the.first]

Price tag?

[Bismarck]

I got possibly the best gift of all time. A brand new Hp computer with LCD screen!
2.1 GHz and 1024 mb RAM! w00t!
