Chat date and time?

Garbageben · October 17, 2005

I'd go and participate if it weren't for the fact I'd probably want to go people hunting after suffering through some particuarly dumb comment and questions and/or questions that already been answered. This particularly goes for questions answered through well known websites (Ex. gamespot)

Anyone want to start a betting pool on how many already-been-answered questions are asked?

sure. Q1. Will there be an SSD? I seriously hope that no one asks that question. I will probably log in and watch/read it, but I don't really have any questions that I want to ask. I trust that Petroglyph is doing the game the way we'll like it and creating a great RTS that will be played for many years from now.

Q2: Will we get Tie Defenders?

Swiftdraw · October 17, 2005

Oh I got one today that almost made me kil, and I swear if I find out someone asks what type of game EaW is... I know this may happen because of an incident today. I was playing Warcraft III today and a guy behind me watching me play asks;

Idiot: "Oh, this is a Warcraft game?"

Me: "Affirmative"

Idiot: *Confused look*

Me: *sigh* "Yes"

Idiot: "Oh, so is this a new exspansion for World of Warcraft?"

Me: *confused look* "Uhhhh... Noooo. Its a RTS*

Idiot: "Huh?"

Me: *patience running thin* "RTS means Real Time Strategy."

Idiot: "Oh, well... Whats the difference?"

Almost dropped him where he stood...

.........................i feel SO sorry for you......but i will talk slowly.....so.....you......get....the...words.....a....IQ....as...

small....as...that.....is....sure...to....infect.....nearby......civilians....

why didnt you floor him? You prolly would not be found guilty of any crime!

it is equally frustrating with other RTSes

Friend: Hey what is AOE stand for?

Me: Age of empires!!!yay!

Friend:wow,i bet you have to take alot of turns though

Me:wha?

Friend:ya you take turns in building your empire right?

Me: uum...its a Real Time Strategy game....

Friend: hey you cant make empires! they arent real anymore!

Me:........

Friend: also the disk is too small, you cant put empires on there, they are huge!

and thats when i walk away

i have had close encounters like above, but they are less stupid, althoguh not by much.i even had a guy think that command and conquer was a spinoff of halo.....is there no hope anymore?

....is there no hope anymore?

Thats the problem, we live in s society that tolerates and even agrees with idiots like this and worse. Even so, I don't think making him take a nap would have been the best desicion over something lke that... I would've been up on assualt charges and sued for more money than I had anyhow.

To be quite honest, I gave up on humanity back in 7th grade. As to avoid a flame war, I won't say why I did so. Anyways, I always keep a good degree of pessimism on about everything anymore.

So, back on topic... How are they going to answer questions? Is this going to be a free for all or what? I mean, its not like you can raise a hand for them to call on you or something.

I don't know, because I have never done one of these before, but I imagine that people submit questions (live) and one person selects the "best" few and actually asks them on the chat. Like I said I don't really know.

JanGaarni · October 18, 2005

Well, I've spoken with DMUK, but I am sorry to report the chat can not be postponed.

Just to give you guys (and any possible girls reading this ) a reminder, here are the times the chat will start:

GMT: 7 PM

CET: 8 PM

US East Coast: 2 PM

US West Coast: 11 AM

As for any SSD questions, no such questions will be allowed to go thru the screening.

It's redundant.

Ghostly_Substance · October 18, 2005

Ok then is someone then going to create a afterchat file? O well I guess I can wait.

Could someone use these questions? With a little luck maybe get it answered now.

Questions:

Is it going to support IP search ? Seriously I just want to know this since in other games such as Warcraft 3 theres none.

Will maps change in size depending on planets ?

I know this might sound stupid but are you able to add more teams without overwriting other team files ?

Will we be able to have a mod list like in Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2 ? Have a folder to place your mods and chose it in the menu ingame?

JanGaarni · October 18, 2005

I'll note down the questions for you, Youki.

Teradyn_pff · October 21, 2005

I haven't seen a definate volunteer for recording the chat. I will be at work during the chat I think (may be able to sneak a couple of minutes in during lunch I hope), so I want to be able to read it. I am sure someone will be recording it, but I would feel better if it was decided who, and possibly a backup just to be sure.

Foshjedi2004 · October 21, 2005

I'll try and record the chat by Prnt screening every few seconds. Is Win2000 ok for you??

Teradyn_pff · October 21, 2005

MIRC should have the option to log a session. It has been a while since I have been in one though. Anyone confirm this?

Ghostly_Substance · October 21, 2005

Nice

Well then whos going to help record it ?

Wiking_pff · October 21, 2005

Ah, I'd rather go to the party. I probably wouldn't know what to ask anyway.

Transcribe it ASAP though!

Little.B · October 23, 2005

The quesion is: I this chat just running via an own Chat script or is it an actual IRC Channel? Because this would make logging it very easy.

I'll try to be there and log as much as possible

Horray for dorks and dumb people! (instantly surrounded by angry gamers with bats)...(Hazah!)

Ghostly_Substance · October 23, 2005

I'm with you also Dorkhunter I keep on meeting an idiot who keeps tryin to show off but keeps on getting made a fool of.

"OMg halo is the best just because other people play it "my name". "

"Hey if you think thats good try Silent Hunter 3 or Rise of Nations" (And he bought it since I told him to, what a fool). Hey but he does fit your kind of describtion there Gen.Vader and Dorkthehunter. He ticked me off when I talked about my co-op placement, his stupidity could me smelt across the room. My defence for stupid people is as thin as a wooden wall compared to stone walls for other people......thats how much he annoyed me.

Well since theres so many at least 1-3 would make it in there into the question answering thing.

Swiftdraw · October 23, 2005

Don't try to take on mainstream games like HALO or CS, you'll lose. People who play them and think they're the best have played nothing else and don't want to. They play it because everyone else they know is, therefore it is cool, and everything else must suck because it doesn't have the amount of people playing as their game does. These people are sheep, they find saftey in numbers so reason and logic have no effect on these people. What ends up happening is you are drowned out by the multitude of voices shouting that you are a n00b and must be gay because you don't run with the flock. I could go into detail on what to avoid and their various response to things, but it is too mind numbing. Best thing to do is calmly nod your head, smile, and go to your happy place untill they shut up or you can find a viable distraction/excuse to leave the one way conversation.

Nightmarenny · October 23, 2005

I have played Halo. I enjoy it very much. It is not the best game ofcourse but it has an above avarage story(though you have to read the books). I find it offensive that you just group everyone who plays Halo in that group. Though their are far to many idiots in the fan group. I would prefere if it were a cult love.

Sigh) back to EaW.

Swiftdraw · October 23, 2005

I meant to generalize the people that consider those two games "the best" and play nothing else.
