Watch out. As soon a gal mentions she's one, she will be respectlessly be 'talked' upon by thousands of lonely teenagers.

 

thats how e-pimps do it!

if there were a female in here that was active she would have like, 4 mods and 3 or 7 campaigns named after her.....


:::sits back and waits for the womens to swarm over his tempting offer:::

"I named a campaign after you in an action-space-sim video game. Will you marry me?"

"Yes, yes I will, but only if it has a new mod and a decent plot"

There worst thing is I'd actually be willing to borrow somebody's name for a main character; I can't seem to devise a decent one, for something I'm working on. Or at least a last name, I'm pretty dead-set on the first name being Silva.

Do a Google search on baby names. You'll easily find more lists than you can shake a stick at. Often organised by sex, country of origin and with meanings (so you can add little in-jokes).

This works great for me usually:

Oh, I do that often, but I despise the method for main characters. Call it quirk.

So much for "women". The only thing in this thread are cars....

[Nuke]

that is a 1970something ford pinto, best car ever made

[colecampbell666]

Stealth, if you don't mind me asking; at 22, how did you afford a Cadillac?

[neo_hermes]

he had to do of unmentionable things....

[Davros]

sorry to berate your car it wasnt meant to be a "my car rocks your car sucks" kinda post
but every review ive ever seen of that car rates it as really bad

[Inquisitor]

This post alone is evidence why the fair sex would avoid the general forum.

[neo_hermes]

totally right inquist.

Well, to be honest, the entire forum focus, a space-based shooting game is pretty much associated with young males. It's kind of odd, I don't doubt there are girls out there who like a good shoot 'em up as much as any guy, but it's really living out that 'little boy' fantasy of being Buck Rodgers, a simple 20th century guy who can somehow instantly outfly experienced pilots in a battlefield he's completely unused to flying in

[vyper]

it's no better than an XBox360 / PS3 argument, it all boils down to personal taste.

I have to address this because it's wrong.

Cars are not all the same. Aesthetically, yes it's a matter of taste. Mechanically it's simple hard facts. Handling, acceleration, safety, consumption, etc...

I trust I've made my point.

Errr.. my dad plays FS and hes 51..   

[Flipside]

That's why I said pretty much, my Dad's in his 60's and plays Half Life

And yes Vyper, I do know what you mean, but there are ways and ways of starting a conversation like that. It wasn't the best way, and Davros has apologised, so as far as I'm concerned, it's forgotten.

[Whitelight]

Err, i`m 52 and I still dabble in freespace, got a copy of TBP and fs2 on my harddrive. Guess I just tinker with it more than I play it..
