Remember Inq.'s game company?

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.
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

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...
No Freespace 3 ?!? Oh, bugger...

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).

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.....

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.
