Well I've finally been playing Lore (and making an ass of myself by forgetting he pimped the game here for quite a while) and I really think it could suit the sheer dangerous minded indivduals we have here at HLP.

If nothing else, call in an airstrike for ****s n' giggles. :D

Er... what is it? Maybe I'm just being dumb tonight but I'm not understanding the website too well.
-
Mechs, War, Multiplayer.

I played Lore before. It's good, but I dont have the time to play it anymore, especially since I got allegance as another free alternative :p
-
I´ve been trying to get Allegiance for ages, seems they stop making it only a few months after release, so there are very few copies around. Allegiance was the frontrunner of Starlancer, and later on Freelancer. Looks very good, even if it is a *cough*hack spit* Microsoft game...
-
Heh, and I didn't even start this post :)
Thanks vyper :)

I enjoyed playing DH-L, but, as with most multiplayer games, I get utterly pwned by people half my age, with better reflexes and eyesight.
I guess that's why, as you get older, you get into less 'frantic' paced games. :)

Not being picky, but theres a slight typo in the first para. The old 'The' = 'he' one ;)
Other than that, cool! It's been ages since I tried TT gaming though, back in the days of Warhammer skirmish ;)
-
I wanted to try Lore, but I can't really afford to spend money on games anymore.
I guess that's why I still [pretend to] play FS2 :p

Cool.
I mean to ask, actually, what sort of server setup / load do you have for managing/running it? (I'm working on ..er... I can't say what I'm working on because I signed an NDA. but it's applicable).
-
Lore's only 20 bucks with the coupon, Raa.
I don't understand hte question Aldo? Running what?
-
The...um.... inter-client processing (for lack of a better term).
I.e. all the calculations going via servers between clients/peers, especially with regards to calculating, fetching & storing persistant state.
It's probably not important quite yet, though. I might not stay at this company that long.....

*knows the feeling* :sigh:

You mean 10 quid supplies you with a week of petrol?
Bastards. :p
-
Americans.
-
Well, $20 will get me an almost full tank, which will last me for ~220 miles.
And... err.. I don't think Roanoke is an American.
-
A FULL TANK?
MOTHER****ER! It takes about 30 squid to fill my tank! Thats only $15 - thats it - Blair needs to invade someone without the yanks!
-
£30 = $60 BTW

Well, err... We do have an oil tycoon in office. :p
And anyway, it may be close to a full tank, but my car seems to highly pressurize the gas, and run on the vapors. :p It's a small tank. ~14 Gallons.
-
Sorry... my bad. Point is they'd never pay anywhere near that price.
Edit: Raa, engine size? I'm a 1.6 and that's fairly big for insurance puposes.
-
Yeah but you probably get as many miles to the gallon for the same amount of money.
-
That still means running the car is cheaper overall!
-
Engine size? 1.8 Litre
