Some of you are probably thinking "who/what is Metal Virus", others know who I am. For those of you that don't know, too bad, i'm too lazy to explain.
I took a look at the original (doesn't feel right to call them official anymore) forums and saw they had been raped. So bounced over here to see if most of the RA2 community had migrated here. These forums seem to be doing fairly well. I guess I just dropped in to see what was up. I might start playing stock RA2 again from time to time, but right now the addiction known as World of Warcraft has taken me, and I am ashamed. However, I refuse to go to meetings to help get over my addiction.
Anyway, if you remember me give a shout out, i'll check out your showcases and what not, maybe even start up a chat with you about over MSN.

MV, good to see you. The old forums got erased a while ago (the stock section anyways), and everyone jumped on ever to here. Glad to see you had the right mind to check this place out.
-
Welcome back (even though I didn't know you before now.) I got a stock and a DSL showcase.
-
RUN AWAY WHILE YO STILL HAVE A CHANCE!!! this place has been overrun with ubernoobers.
I am avoiding wow at all costs. I know that I will be sucked into its brilliance.
-
Great. Now I can ask "how the hell is Apocalypse Pony supposed to fight". Your bot always puzzled me.
Nice to see an old builder.
-
wow really isnt that good. well i was when i played it i was like having no life but now i look back at it it seems like a big pile of dog ****. anyway good too see you even though i never knew you. lol

wudup

Hey, MV. Glad to see you're around still.
There are a couple different Tourneys going on if you're interested...

Apocalypse Pony, hmm. I remember making a bot by that name but I don't have any pictures left over. If somebody has a picture of it to refresh my memory i'll be able to answer your question.
From what I've seen Psycolone's bots are still impressive. Clickbeetle has always been impressive, one of the few members who skipped the unskilled at building bots stage. Good job Goose, keep avoiding it, it's like a bad STD.
EDIT: I found a picture. Apocalypse Pony was one of the few DSL bots I ever made. It worked like a pop-up/hammer bot combination. Bots would ride up the front, get stuck and two hammers would pound away at the robot. Sadly Apocalypse Pony worked much better when it was human controlled.
-
Pyscs the shyt, duh?
-
I remember seeing your showcase in the old forums, and was always amazed by your bots. It's cool seeing some of the vets drop by every now and then. I just wish more remembered.
-
I remember you, *shouts*
-
I think more remember, they just don't have the urge to revisit the RA2 forums. For many of the older players RA2 died out, it wasn't something they wanted to happen, it was just kind of unavoidable. Their interest faded and they found themselves playing RA2 and visiting the forums less and less often.
All the RA2 forums have always been special to me, they were amongst the first forums I ever joined and they were definitely a good introduction for me. Over the time that I played RA2 the forums were the most entertaining forums I've ever been a part of. Always some sort of flame war or controversy going on between the different forums. That's why I keep checking in from time to time.

Sup MV...

Hey Gigafrost, another familiar name.
Does anybody know what the next BBEANS will be? I'm hoping for something stock, i'll probably sign up.
-
IDK, but it might be stock, with the pattern that is going.
-
The next BBEANS is HW stock. I have a few improvements for the BBEANS Tournament Arena in mind for it. As for when... I'm not working on DSL at the moment, so it could be anytime after BBEANS4. Just not right away. I'll give a brief respite.
Good to see you again, MV. Planning on making a new HW now?
Clickbeetle has always been impressive, one of the few members who skipped the unskilled at building bots stage.
Oh I went through it all right... you just didn't see it :mrgreen:
-
YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
The next BBEANS is revealed. I should start building a new version of Caterpillar 4.
-
Yeah, I'll probably build a heavyweight and sign up. I just have to get RA2 on my laptop.
-
I suppose there will be tons of HS (BBEANS1 and 3 were won by HS), i don't know what to choose between PitA (popup) and Deep Impact (rammer)
No, wait, PitA is a better choice...
-
I've installed RA2 onto my laptop, everything seems to be working fine. As long as I can find time to play the game I should be able to compete in BBEANS.
-
It would be pretty cool to see some Popups compete every now and then... I will unveil my first (to be seen in public) Legends Unleashed bot. .oTTo. 2
