What is this thread other than spam?  This is the great question of our time.  I say that this thread is the embodiment of the off topic forum.  Its so off topic that no one knows how to respond to it.

Hay there lb.

Take note spam noobs: If your going to spam do it smart

Might want to tone down that smile then.  Maybe go for the one side all the way up and one side half up look.  That might be good for you.

To bad I don't have a camera a bandwidth, I would post something.

Of course none of you want to see me in my Speedo.

Maybe if I can figure out how to get my video camera to work then I'll post my picture.

Ah yes Bess Proxy, my old foe.  I have many a story fighting her, not many of them successful.  However in my later years I have come up with some tricks to deal with that **** (really its a female dog in the picture)

First off, the fastest and simplest way would be to use something like proxify that gets you around her quickly and effectively.

The next trick would be to manually configure the ip address your computer goes through.  Kind of like proxying a proxy.  Just look for something like free proxy server on google and a lot of information will come up.  Then put that into the options in IE and your home free.

The final trick is that bess doesn't block php boards.  Using this you can get to the ns and lm boards with out any problems.  

Those are my tricks for dealing with her, and the seem to work effectively.  Good luck fighting her tak.

General / Ns 3.0 Beta To Be Released

« on: January 23, 2004, 10:27:16 PM »

Ok please keep in mind that after playing about 2 games of the buggy 3.0f and screwing around in a 3.0g game and then playing 2 combat games I'm not the most qualified person to tell you about this, but here goes.

I'll take this problem after problem, starting with oni and fades getting ripped up.  To be honest I can't really tell you whether this is fixed or not.  I can tell you that oni and fades die at good times in combat, but still are combat effective.

On to combat balance.  The two games of combat I played in 3.0g were some of the most fun games of combat I've ever played.  I had to watch out for skulk ambushes, while trying to get kills as fast as I could.  Grenades have finally been made useful and after getting them both games I can finally say that they are good not only for flushing out vents, but for killing skulks.  Think of em as a one shot shotty with super high damage.  Sadly the marines won both combat games with out breaking a sweat, so I don't know if the aliens can win at all.  However as of now I declare combat balanced enough to play.  

As for the subject of regular ns I can't really tell you much.  Res flow looks good, and the onos dies slowly enough vs one hmg/lmg.  I think I managed to kill em at least 3 times each before they finally got me( we were screwing around so I don't know exactly how it will work).  The armor absorption factors are a huge improvement to survival as oni and fades and I think they should reduce the problem of end games for aliens greatly.

With the grenade luncher just fixed and not havening a chance to play a real game of regular ns, I can't comment on actual balance.  However after all that I think that ns is getting to a version that is playable and should be out as a official release soon if it doesn't come out as a public bata.

If you have anymore questions pm me, post them here or log on #nsquestions (that channel isn't used nearly enough)

General / Ns 3.0 Beta To Be Released

« on: January 23, 2004, 09:17:35 PM »

As a vet who has played 3.0 all is can say is oh crap.  From what I've played so far 3.0 is no where near as balanced or as fun as 2.01.  I can't wait to see the hordes of newbies posting on the forums about how 3.0 is unbalanced.   :help:

If you would like me to expand on this feel free to ask.

From a getting a girl friend standpoint it didn't go that well.  I wouldn't exactly say that I  chickened out.  I would say that I talked my self out of asking her then chickened out.  However on the plus side if I can actually think about asking a girl out now, next time I might actually be able to say something about it.  

*Sigh* I guess theres always next year.  Or I could just ask her to do something with her friends.  They look like they do a lot of stuff.  

I could ramble all day long about me being shy, but I'm going to cut it off there as I should be studying for finals right now.
