I return, bearing gifts.
on: August 25, 2004, 07:43:31 pm
Greetings from The Land Beyond Real Life.

It's a new semester and I'm back on campus and back online. I know I've been missed so let me just say it's great to see all of you here. :)
I have much to catch up on, though Hippo's been generous in keeping me up to date with the main events, including Interplay, Derek Smart, Stencil Shadows, the POF2MAX converter, etc. So here's the list of people I need to get in touch with:
  • Styxx: I have the Mjolnir; it should be on its way. Is Max 5 format okay? Also, I couldn't help noticing your MT teaser pic. Who made it, and would they be interested in re-making all the FS1 primaries and secondaries? In exchange I'll make you as many full 3D SSANIs as you could ask for.
  • Krackers87: Ask Styxx for the Mjolnir.
  • Sesquipedalian: How's SA coming along (at all)? I'll bring the Viraj back up and work on its finalizing, hopefully made easier with the new converter.
  • Goober: I'll discuss Port and ST:R stuff in the internal forum. As for TVWP Vasudan models, I have some ideas bouncing around. Keep on me for those.
  • Karma: Excellent progress on the SWTC. I should be able to do some management work on that now.
  • Woomeister: Got any more crummy models you'd like revamped? Send 'em my way.
  • Black Wolf: Holy guacamole, no posts in NTV since April? The stench of decay is overwhelming. We need a conference to decide what to do with it.
  • Setekh: Heard about your loss. My deepest sypathies. My prayers are with you and your family.
  • Stunaep: To DatDB, or not to DatDB; that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the beams and lasers of outrageous models, or take arms against a sea of troubles. In other words, what's going on there?
  • Aldo: I doubt you need me for Reci anymore, so you can remove me from your staff list etc. whenever you like.
That should be it. Well, I've saved the best for last; I didn't want to show up empty-handed, so here is my gift to you.
The four player-flyable ships from Descent 3, in POF format, with all the bells and whistles, including fully animated interface art.

You're welcome.

I'm not really equipped for screenies right now, can someone else oblige? Thanks.

Well, I think that's it. It's great to be back, and I'm looking forward to many more future months with the old crew. See you in subspace!

We have been trying to find out that same thing with no success. All we get are answers like "Cheese". Not very descriptive.

Good morning, and welcome to the Black Mesa transit system Hard Light Productions. This automated train is provided for the security and convenience of the HLP personnel. The time is 8:47 A.M. Current topside temperature is 93 degrees with an estimated high of 105. The HLP compound is maintained at a pleasant 68 degrees at all times. This train is inbound from level 3 dormitories to sector C forums. If your intended destination is a high security area beyond sector C, you will need to return to the central transit hub in area 9 and board a high security train. If you have not yet submitted your identity to the retinal clearance system, you must report to Hard Light personnel for processing before you will be permitted into the high security branch of the transit system.

Due to the high toxicity of material routinely handled in the HLP compound, no smoking, eating, or drinking are permitted within the Hard Light transit system. Please keep your limbs inside the train at all times. Do not attempt to open the doors until the train has come to a complete halt at the station platform. In the event of an emergency, passengers are to remain seated and await further instruction. If it is necessary to exit the forum, disabled personnel should be evacuated first. Please, stay away from electrified posts and proceed to an emergency station until assistance arrives.

:welcome:

Welcome back that is... :p

Dear god man.

Do the words "working on too many projects" mean anything to you?

GE!  Welcome back!  Go to the DatDB internal and look at the last thread, it may or may not answer any questions you have about campaign status.  I've said more there.
who needs a signature? ;)
