Yay! People think I still build stuff! <3

I haven't re-installed RA2 since I reformatted my computer over a month ago...  Maybe I'll fix that this weekend.

Voted for 3.

DSL interest seems to be declining a bit. Not sure why.

Vorcha is pretty awesome.  Sonic... I dunno, it looks off for some reason.  I think the wheel guards are too far away and make it look more spread out than it needs to be.  The bot might look a bit better if those were closer to the wheels.

Good work!

Sorry if this has been asked before.  Have you gotten into Hax mode since your return?  Just curious.

Not sure if this was mentioned before... but the size of the image got lowered from 2000x to 1600x.

Sly 3 sans case for £1.20 from a dying Blockbuster. Not bad.

There's Blockbusters still out there?!?!????

Got Sacred 2 a couple weeks ago.  Love it.  Delightfully boring and fun co-op gameplay. <3

Really all depends on who is available and when.

Maybe a good supplement to BOTM would be Contributor of the month?

Almost got Torchlight 2 as well... but my wife and I crave 2 player co-op. 

So, after some research, picked up Sacred 2.  It's not perfect, but it is pretty fun.  :D

If Skyrim had a 2 player co-op capability I would be sooooo happy.

Heh, my topic headline makes me look like a Spambot.

I just wanted to spread the word that 6 UFC fights will be streaming for free via Facebook today in London.

Amazingly, the facebook stream is quite good. Good quality and decent buffering capabilities.  Fights start a 12:15 PM EST.

Log into facebook. Like UFC. Click on the box that says Live Streams. Click on the little box that says "go Live" and then wait. Eventually when it's ready there will be live content kicking in. (pun intended)

Usually when I purchase music online I just pick the tracks I want and leave the rest.

However, both of these albums were so awesome I had to purchase them in their entirety.

You will enjoy your return here if you follow some simple rules:

Only do things related to RA2 if you find them enjoyable for your own gratification.
Any efforts that you put fourth, expecting the community to bow down and praise your excellence, will leave you sorely disappointed.

So, just have fun and stop worrying about if your efforts are getting the praise they deserve.  That is ultimately what brought a ton of heat on you and contributed (by my observations) to a ton of your stress related to this forum.

Please don't start another tournament unless you understand all of this.

Thanks for the review on Clever Heist.  :D  And, wow 2012 was a weak year for my IRL building.

Tournament Archives / Re: ROBO RASSLIN' SIGNUPS CLOSED
« on: January 12, 2013, 09:37:15 AM »
It just occurred to me that you might need reserves for this tournament.  Signups with bots built vs signups with promises to build are a stark contrast.

Just pointing out that the community is notorious for signing up for "i will participate" tourneys and then dropping the ball.

You should consider taking in appx 5 reserves to fill spots for people that drop this project and run away.  Just a suggestion.

I had no idea that Packard Bell was not a dead brand.  O.o

Totally thought they gave up making computers years ago.

Man Manu! You were always one of my favorite forum members to have kicking around.  So good to have you back.

In the past two to three years two major things have happened:

-Hax Mode was discovered in stock and stirred a bit of controversy.  It still has not been widely embraced by the community, but it is a huge discovery.

-IRL (In Real Life) building has become rather popular over the years with DSL.  There are several builders that build bots in DSL that are aimed at aesthetics and accuracy rather than exploiting the unbalanced parts in DSL for a competitive edge.   It is a nice alternative that allows more creativity.
