It's good, but I'm still confused by the whole Lucifer thing, after all, had Shivans developed in Subspace, it seems odd that they would create shields that only work outside Subspace in order to attack us. It doesn't seem they would spend enough time in the 'matter' bodies to develop that kind of technology?

kode, what have you done? You have created a monster! A monster I tell you!!!

[Lightspeed]

Oh no!

well, at least the sig still is funny: "Then end of your trivial existence ? "

Then grammar is lovely. Also, the layout is amaz0ring™.

It's not like it matters to me, opera doesn't support glowy text...

[.::Tin Can::.]

Neither does Mozilla, but it's just there because its pretty...

And thank you Lightspeed for finding all my errors in the sentance. I appreciate that. Here's one for the road!

[glow=red]Thanks for the glow! [/glow]

[Lightspeed]

well, well...





edit: btw - who is "Polito form"  ?

[Ghostavo]

Yes... revenge will be sweet... now to recreate the magic inside this "opera" into IE.

31 pages in Word... read, saved, about to be printed and stored in a 5-code safebox.

Definitely a Sticky nominee, IMO.

I see you didn't play System Shock 2 yet, so I won't throw any spoilers your way... all I can say is - get the game as soon as possible. You might find it... [glow=green]amusing, insect...[/glow]

Excuse me. *cough*

Seriously, it might be a 1999 but it's well worth the buy. If you liked games like Deus Ex or the Thief serial, you'll love it... if not, try it anyway, you never know.

hell, fs2 is a 1999...

and I have system shock 2, but I haven't had the time to play more than just the very beginning. so I know some of what it's about anyway.

[Stealth[cro]]

Well, yes... FS2 was, like System Shock 2, one of the most underrated games ever. Except System Shock, at least to my knowledge, never had the chance to reach a level as high as FS did with HLP. The "1999" comment was there for anyone who might filter it out because of the "ugly, un-UT2004" rendering.

As for SS2, you might want to reinstall it and grab the patch along. The beginning might be a bit slow, but once you get that firsrt keycard and enter central Deck 2... well, let's just say, don't play it at night. Even after finishing it three times it still gives me a nasty shock whenever I hear something around the corner.

I know what you mean.

You can get the game from Underdog, with no cutscenes but everything else included, but there are virtually no load times. I myself LOVE to play LAN parties with folks or connect IP's with a friend of mine, and we us AOL Phone Chat to talk to eachother, via headsets. You just dont HAVE the time to type in a message when you say,

"OMG! ITS TEH RUMBLER! **** **** ****!" *loads Anti-Personel bullets*

Ya see what I mean?

[Triple Ace]

The only way I will finish is if it was in game because I'm to lazy to read it here.

[Stealth[cro]]

Alright, to stop hitching this thread already ('cause I can already feel the wrath of Antares and mod alike), I've recreated the System Shock II thread right here.

Antares - as someone already mentioned, can it get Wikified? Better yet, could someone clone it into a more printable format, like PDF?

I remember playing SS2 with 3 friends at a lan party...
that game is just plain scary, you just never know of there is one of the zombie looking guys behind the door that you just went through and you are about to head back...
It's one of the few games that scare me ****less no matter how many times I play it.

edit: bleh, noticed the recreation of the SS2 thread AFTER I had posted this...

*looks around for an admin*
could any of you move this post?..

That I could probably do. If you can wait until I'm finished with school for today.

I don't really know how to make my way around the wiki, so I wouldn't know how to go about adding it.  The writing style is also more laid-back in places than would fit the wiki norm.  But aside from that, this is meant to stand as an independent document, and isn't really subject to revision/alteration unless I'm the one doing it.

[kasperl]

in that case, just put a link to it in the wiki, under "Shivans". If you have any list of specific facts from the games themselves, feel free to add that to the wiki itself. there is a great deal of help in the posting guidelines, and if you know basic HTML or vB code, you could add anything easily.

[kode]

I was bored, so I pdf-ified it. If you mind, antares, I'll remove it. If you don't, please someone mirror it, as the file is currently on my account at uni.
