So after waking up at noon this morning with a hangover, I was bored enough to dig out an old hdd of mine and listen to some lovely FS1/FS2 and various campaign music (Flipside, I still rock your "darkest hour" and "knossos" tracks when I feel like geeking out, very l33t.) So I got to reminiscing about various activities of my wasted youth, thinking about the joys of space sims and beam cannons. I have a week left of vacation before going back to real life, so I inevitably end up at HLP to see if you guys have put out anything neat over the past year.
And of course, you haven't. Both of my troll posts from last year in the two "most prestigious" projects are still on the first page, and near the top. Aside from a campaign Blaise put out (which are always pro) which apparently needs a patch, and a few retextured super-old models, nobody has really done anything. In fact, the only thing new are the waves of noobs who somehow end up here each Spring with their "omg why doesnt commAnd use 1000 URSAS instead of a hecate agianst a SATHANAS thats dumb" threads, and the fact that the Hard Light forum is now more difficult to find and no longer encourages discussion / debate of anything interesting.
Not to be a sourpuss or anything, but do you guys do anything around here anymore?
P.S.: I purposefully left out the SCP. Mainly because you guys are all super-tech savvy which always intimidated me, and your releases with programs that fix or do things that I never knew were a problem, with threads with all kinds of code and no screenshots of models or missions always scared me. The SCP always came up with new stuff on almost a weekly basis though, you guys deserve a lot of credit for making an old game new, and really giving this community something it can take as its own. It's just a shame that you guys put out new and cool stuff so quickly that the other end of the community can't keep up.
P.P.S.: I take everything I just said about lack of progress back. After a little research I saw that you guys finally got rid of an0n. I'm a little surprised and disappointed. I was sure he'd be a part of the administration somehow by now. In case I don't come back for a while, Hi! to all the old people and friends. Styxx, finish your goddamn campaign. Icefire, I beta'd BWO like, three years ago for you. It was just fine, and actually pretty interesting back then, and it only needed like, six missions left to be completed. wtf? Where's Turnsky and his sweet furry art? Black Wolf, finish your campaign, your writing was always great, other people should know too. Stealth, you're still gay, and your occasional emails are really creeper, but the thought is cute.
Edit: CP FINALLY put out his campaign. See guys? That's what I'm talking about.
