<Xxyl> odd.

<Stilgar> If Accolade made the next SC game, they would probably name it something stupied like 
   StarControl: Pizza.

<Xxyl> Hehe, I asked Crystal Dynamics for their email. Paul wrote back "Howdy!"
<Xxyl> so I asked about who has the rights to starcon...I hope he doesn't have a complex about it, 
   everyone asking him about StarControl :)
<Xxyl> I had to try hard not to bow down before him and just gush :)
<Stilgar> hehehe

<Xxyl> on a related note, SC3 is now an "EA Classic" in the bargain bin at the mall!
<Stilgar> Hehe
<Stilgar> That was fast..

<doomsey> they didn't have my correct SSN in the system and they were failing to bill me

* OmegaMan shoulda named his mechs after anime mech shows: Escaflowne, Gundam, Evangelion...

<GriMReApA> windows or mac with the emulator program?
<GriMReApA> or are there two different emulator programs 1 for win and 1 for mac?
<GriMReApA> ??
<GriMReApA> if i am bothering you tell me and i will leave :)
<Pulse> it would look like windows or mac, and yes there are 2 different programs

<Teto> Anyway, now that this thing seems to be working <hostile glare at Pirch>, and some people seem 
   awake, I'll (re)announce my Star Control 2 based play-by-email RPG. ^_^
<Xxyl> play my email rpg eh? huh.
* Xxyl once played a Spathi in a StarWars RPG.
> a Spathi... in a StarWars.... how'd he get there?
<Xxyl> he was trying an experiment transdimensional ship as a way to hide in a safe universe. it didn't 
   quite work right.
<Xxyl> I also played a galactic hitchhiker in a star wars game...and once I was a player in another rpg 
   with both gigantism and mild acrophobia....I don't get asked to play many rpgs anymore :)
<Xxyl> stand up, have to make a panic roll...hehe....

<Xxyl> but if you compare the destruction of the SaMatra (which is in both sc3 and 3do sc2)...the 
   difference is MIND BLOWING
<pall> Which blow up is better?
<Xxyl> The 3do one...
<Xxyl> it's amazing..it looks like a movie scene...the sc3 looks like a garbage frieghter blowing up

<Teela> the official Kraft macaroni and Cheese Dinner "easy cooking directions" state:
<Teela> BOIL 6 cups water.  Stir in Macaroni.  Boil 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occassionally.
<Teela> DRAIN. DO NOT RINSE. Return to pan.
<stuffas> yes. THEN add dairy goodies.
<Fumbling> Teela: so you are just going to blindly follow the directions?!? like some sheep being led to 
   the slaughter, i tell you...
<Teela> ADD 1/4 cup margarine, 1/4 cup milk and Cheese Sauce Mix; mix well. Makes about 3 cups.
<Fumbling> Teela: here are my directions:
<stuffas> so if Kraft Intl. jumped off a BRIDGE would YOU?!?
<Fumbling> Put water in a pot. put the noodles in it, put the pot on a stove. 
<Fumbling> when the noodles are not crunchy any more, drain out the water
<Fumbling> then open the cheese packet, puour the "cheese" in
<Fumbling> be sure to leave little clumps of cheese - don't over-stir

<Stilgar> I once figured we should vote for the most popular person in the channel.
<Stilgar> But then, to make things more interesting, I decided to reword it to read "most popular person 
   in the channel who's name represents a book character"
> my name represents an ameteur fiction character..does that count? :)
<Stilgar> But then, I decided to narrow it down to: "most popular person in the channel whos name 
   represents a book character, and who runs our web page."
<GaBE`99> LOL
<Stilgar> But then, that would include imaginetech's webmaster, who came in here once. So I settled for 
   the final wording of "most popular person, whos name begins with 'Stilgar'."
<Stilgar> Of course, now that imaginetech is going down, and TanAdept would most likely host it, he can 
   change his nickname to 'Stilgar2' and compete.
<Stilgar> I must be more careful with my wording next time.

<Mephisto_> Hey, did you hear about Star Control 4?
> haven't heard much yet
<Mephisto_> I saw an article about it, PC Gamer tested the prototype. It's in the January issue of PC 
   Gamer, I almost died of excitement when I saw it (I didn't think they'd make another one).
> really? hmm.
<Mephisto_> There're even some pictures.
<Mephisto_> It's 20% finished and due for release in December of '98.
<Mephisto_> It's not going to be like the other SC games though.
> hmm.
<Mephisto_> It's going to be a 3D 3rd person view mission-based flight game, a lot like the Wing Commander 
   games (but in 3rd person.
<Mephisto_> It'll have lots of talking and a plot too.
<Mephisto_> And possibly 8 person multi-player.
<Mephisto_> And Accolade is planning on having a free online network to play multi-player Accolade games 
   on.
<Mephisto_> The main ship is also going to be upgradable (unlike in SC 3).
<Mephisto_> But it'll probably require a 3D card.
<Mephisto_> And the aliend will be computer-animated instead of stupid puppets.
<Mephisto_> Oops...aliens.
<Mephisto_> It's also supposed to have over 36 races.
> ok then :)
<Mephisto_> I wonder how many CD's it'll take up...hmm.

<TanAdept> Well, cbnoonan here knows quite a bit about that sort of thing.
<TanAdept> She even has an antimatter cone.
<Mikeman> Is that your normal nick?
<cbnoonan> in umgah orgies, does it matter?
<TanAdept> Speaking of which, I saw at Schnucks today that they sell cones.
<cbnoonan> shhh don't tell tan
<TanAdept> On one of the aisles, there's a sign, which lists "cones" as well as 7 other things in that 
   aisle.
<cbnoonan> tan: did you get one?
<cbnoonan> tan==pink
<TanAdept> No, you are pink.
<TanAdept> And, no, I didn't get a cone.  I'm not into that whole anti-matter thing.

<Ors> a big upgrade. We're trying to finish installing Irix 6.4, and go to sleep.
<Ors> And then i agree to sell my soul to sigal.
<Ors> (One of our staff).,
<Ors> And when i'm saying 'sell my soul', i mean with a SIGNED contract and all.

<Ors> (It's a she).
