Post by: Stealth on August 22, 2007, 10:56:48 am: also because an unopened, sealed copy of FS2 is worth a couple hundred $

...i predicted that when they said they were going to stop making them.

so i went to the store and bought as many as i could find. i have a couple other copies sealed away somewhere, waiting till they're worth a fortune

I would post the stereotypical "OMG HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT OMG OMG," but I'd rather say, "At least it doesn't crash and it's still playable. 3000ad had horrible random crashes and stuff."

Post by: Hippo on August 22, 2007, 03:18:47 pm: but it still has a mission which had a single event, and it was a message sent 0 seconds in asking "Are we just going to sit here and wait?"

yeah silent threat, as a whole, sucked, but i still had fun playing it :)
comparable to 3000AD? *shudders*

swooh's still around. doing better than ever. we're running it on a dual processor, dual core Opteron monster, with 8 GB RAM, and almost a terabyte of hard drive space.

also, it's running on redundant 20Mbit fiber trunks.
