When the many are reduced to the one, what is the one to be reduced to?
-
Which one is you? :doubt:
Really, when will they learn, if anything, they are only helping freespace by purchasing it in the first place...
Otherwise; What a bunch of ugly nerds. Really, there's nerdom and then there's jumping off into the deep end of fugly. I bet we could take em'. :D
-
Uh.... huh?
-
It's the annual WC Nerd gathering where they go to their little WC convention and do their faggoty WC things like claiming that WC is the one true space sim and bringing copies of other sim and mutilating them. At least, that's what it was last year...
-
Ah the CIC and their hatred of all things not-wc :p
well they can say whatever they wants. Freespace has the sourcecode of the game out in the open, WC hasn't. Who's superior again? :D

nope, I'm probably as far from Hawai'i as you can get on this little planet. :(
Let's say I'm rather interested in the Islands which resulted in me picking up a tiny amount of the language and history of the place.
-
if this is more offensive to me than other sueable things such as racial discrimination, can i sue?
-
:confused:
I don't... 'get'... this thread
-
and WC is by no means the "original space sim". that statement is off by decades.
Before Wing Commander
Before Asteroids
there was...

and the fact that freespace's scaling system was that much more realistic... and capships were harder to kill in fs
-
And Robert Loggia + Kurtwood Smith + Generic Baldwin brother could beat Mark Hamil in a fight. Yes.
-
maybe we should go bomb them...

There is a hole in your ass.

People this nerdy need to be anally raped repeatedly by beefy men with large breasts named Bruno.
While I watch.
Wait, forget that last part. What again?

Indeed, I might explode otherwise. It's been emiting some royally noxious clouds today, let me tell you.

:blah: Such, sad, "people".

After watching two of these threads, I'm almost starting to think that they do it purely for the entertainment value of watching you people react to it like a bunch of stereotypical high schoolers :/
-
Except that they aren't watching, because they aren't here.
Rather critical flaw in an otherwise nice theory, that.

...
It's been a whole year already?

[12:54] [Bob] yay, these people think Hades is a nerd
[12:54] [Bob] http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,12416.0.html
[12:54] [TC] Hades *is* a nerd
[12:56] [LOAF] I'm pretty sure that anyone who goes to a Wing Commander convention is a nerd.
[12:56] [KrisV] I think we banned him for being a jackass
[12:57] [LOAF] Actually, I'm pretty impressed with the guy who ended that thread. How can you *not* get that the game bashing thing is a joke?
[13:16] [ace] wow that Freespace thread is one of the best things I've ever read
[13:17] [ace] "If we start burning our copies of WC, aren't we really ending up like India and Pakistan in the 90's?"
-
So you found some people sad enough to comment on the goings-on in a nerdy forum to great extent. On IRC.
You know, this says a lot less about them enjoying themselves than it does about your reading habits.
Also, I-War a ripoff of WC? That's just saaad, man.

Hehe, that's great.
And since I've already been yelled at twice by the CIC staff to cease and desist, I shall now depart this thread. Adieu.
-
:wtf: They told you to stop posting here?
-
I'de just like to mention 2 things:
1. Chill everyone, we're all in the dork bucket together.
2. Since there is no picture, and the thread title makes almost no sense, I had to wait for like 10 posts to try to figure out whats going on...
-
He posted pictures of Wing Commander fans supposedly destroying something or another Freespacey... was hard to tell from the pics, and it wasn't anywhere nearly as dramatic as the full-blown documentary they had going last year (which I found mildly hilarious, to be honest).
Anyway, he was, erm... contacted.... by an admin where the pics were hosted, and, ahh.... asked... to remove the remote linking pics, because of the bandwidth drain, etc etc.
Understandable.
-
Rictor: You're a dork. And I don't play WC. Not funny. :p
Sandy: Meh. Would be funnier to drawn their bandwidth.... all in the name of freespace of course.

so, you came here posting pics, you knew how people would react ( of course, the other way around would be different, I suppose ), then you act surprised and shocked, and you leave like that? Is that some kind of joke?
I call that provocation, dunno about you.
For my part, I don't care, it's their money.
-
Sacrilege!
*deletes WC1, 2, and 4 from hard drive*
-
the only thing that bothers me is them throwing away all that cash, don't they know box sets of FS2 have been selling for like $100, it's just like someone burning a hundred dollar bill, and beeing on the brink of poverty it pisses me off when people waist money
-
To each his own.
I myself find amusing how they assume you can't enjoy both games... Specially considering that we host even here a total conversion project that's working to bring the Wing Commander universe into the - much better and more versatile, especially considering the source code project - Freespace 2 engine. I myself like Wing Commander almost as much as I like Freespace.
-
Ha! I just say Animatronix to the lot of em ;)
Seriously though, I always preferred FS2, but I AM looking forward to the WC conversion. I played WC3 which was all video and very little game, but I enjoyed what there was :)
Flipside :D

not to mention a perfectly good copy that might make someone happy :p
-
it's more funny than offending i think. i mean, i remember the last one.... (last year?) there was like 50 pictures of them doinga ll sorts of things to Freespace and other space combat simulation games. they were blowtorching it, putting them in bathtubs, using the FS box as a doorstop. it was hilarious!
-
:wtf: Those :hopping: how dare they destroy Freespace...and did i here $100 for a boxed freespace 2. HOLY #*@% thank god i found my copy at a Shopko for $9.99, eh.
-
that's $100 mint. check ebay. if it's opened and the CDs are scratched then you'll probably only get like $15 for it
-
Meh, the whole things very funny - the fact their community is so closed off to the thought of anything else is merely comedy to me, if they want to burn things - let them - it's their money they're pissing away. At least most of us have the emotional maturity to enjoy what we want to instead of making a rather poor point by burning other games. We know FS is great, we don't need to break CDs to prove it!
-
they seem to be a cult bent on the destruction of Freespace and other Space sims.
-
Hehe. Bent.
Must be subliminal WC messaging.
-
your sick KT
-
so, what is it about FS they don't like...?
-
What sick? I don't have any sick.

In their twisted little minds, anything that is not WC is evil and must be destroyed. They don't stop to see if it might be better, or at least equal.
BTW, I got 256k Cable at my new digs!!!:D :D ;7
-
I say we get the WC port up and running and then sit here and laugh at them :lol:

well, you know, WC was the first, so WC created a genre and FS2 plagied. Of course, WC forgot to evolve, but that's another story.
still for the time being, like it or not, both are being owned by freelancer, since it's the only one alive ( don't even talk to me about prophecy advance :doubt: ). Bwarf :p

Yeah... the least of the living dance on the dead. Hopefully the Source Code Project will set some things straight in terms of injecting the youth back into FS.

i know how WC forgot to evolve.. after a while it stopped redefining genre.. whereas FS did... Twice...
-
Poor WC if only evolved fast enough. tsk tsk tsk Oh well i've got to get to class.

See those new persistant variable thingies? They'll allow far more complex branching campaigns, among other things. It's advances like that which will bring FS2 into line with any game on the market today. Soon, my precious, soon...

Origin didn't release any modding tools..
