I've also never played Halo, but I don't own an X-Box either (it's "too" modern). Maybe if it comes out on the Atari I'll try it

I can vouch for that! Basically Swiss & German beers (draft NOT bottled) and probably many others, don't have chemical preservatives in them. They're not made to last long, aka sit on a shelf for months on end. Therefore, they don't have the bitter taste (or not nearly as bitter) as American beers. They are made to be consumed in a relatively short period of time. I remember drinking 2 liters of draft beer for dinner one night in Basel, and before bed had one large glass of water; the next morning ... no hang over! Great stuff! Also, great beer in Germany (I also like Black Forest cake ).

Quite nice! Did you see the listing for the AT-AT further down?

(*** double post ***) it's been two months Time for an update: Well, it's still a work-in-progress, but I have been making some progress. There are only a couple of things left: 1) selecting planet icons for systems (since the majority have been renamed) - 10% complete; 2) updating encyclopedia entries - 10% complete; 3) updating the SYSTEM.DAT file; 4) some in-game testing. At that point it should be done, it's just "shoe-horning" in the time to get it done. All sectors have been renamed (if necessary) and relocated. All systems have been renamed. New orientation of systems in the sector is complete (at least on paper). There is one thing I did change after I started: the Rebel Alliance now starts on Hoth instead of Yavin (renaming & relocating sectors & systems). My only question is: Are there any "easter eggs" for characters (Rebel or Imperial) on Hoth or Bespin (like when Luke is on Tatooine)? Just asking As for starting on Hoth, it just seemed "odd" to me the Rebels would just be sitting around twiddling their thumbs on Yavin awaiting an Imperial attack. It's not like the "game" takes place a couple of minutes after the closing credits of ANH. I wanted something a bit different. Besides, I have other plans in the works ....

Ah, telnet; the father of the internet, grandfather to Skynet

Hey Rob, where's the button for "moonshine"? That'll make men out of a bunch of you young whipper-snappers!

Good memory Tofu I did post that way back when PS my post count number in now 1337! Tofu can explain if necessary

Also (since you didn't mention it), did you do a FULL install of Rebellion? Did you read the README file for any mi-nute details that could cause problems or read any special instructions?

I think that's a cut from "Wallace & Grommit: Escape from Azkaban", where Wallace takes the role of "Snake Plissken"

Never saw it? It is a must see Def. Buy yourself a copy for your birthday. Oh, that's today! Happy birthday Def!

Ahoy, ya scurvy dogs (no offense meant ta ya DC, I'll mind me manners). I just wanted to remind ye, that on this great Pirate Day, tis Def's birthday (no really, it is!). So, everyone grab them a bottle of rum, or whatever spirits suit ya, and toast to Def's health (and to his getting over the NSO writing block he has ). (*** raises bottle ***) "Cheers" (*** drinks bottle in one slug ***). Arrrgh, but that be a good way to start me day . Now, which way to the little pirates room? Me bladder ain't what it used to be after all these yearsssss. (*** wanders off ***)

This isn't the mailbox you're looking for ... move along That's great J

Cool DC I bet you meant to say "been digging alot of pirate dinosaurs up" Some of your first pics of the Canyonlands reminded me of Big Bend down by the Rio Grande. Spectacular pics! I liked the baby dino footprint and (wow!) the adult dino footprint Congrats on winning the rafting race! So, when are you heading to Banff? Is thera a regional Canadian pirate gathering there? (I checked out your blogs)

J could show the R2 mailbox serving drinks when he was on Jabba's barge. But alas, unfortunately postal mailboxes are deposit only Great ideas J, keep 'em coming

Very neat Mad, although I think the title should have been "How to turn Mad into a zombie" There's someone next to you Mad, but "cropped". I'm wondering if it's a bar wench serving you more drinks

No, ye matey. His birthday falls on the 19th, the great pirate holiday! (read back earlier in the thread ) The answer is all in the fine print. Hang on and let me make an adjustment (it's Def's last post on the first page ). Better now?

Actually a blessing in disguise Rob: 1) you don't have to get here something for Sweetest Day AND her birthday; 2) You won't ever forget to get her something for Sweetest Day! Nothing matches the wrath of a woman's scorn should you forget to get her something on a "deserving" holiday

No, ye matey. His birthday falls on the 19th, the great pirate holiday! (read back earlier in the thread )

You young whipper-snappers make me laugh; "new" holiday I've been aware of this holiday for many a year Don't forget to get some nice roses (or flowers of your choice) to go with that sweet chocolate for the ladies

Tis quite the power of the pirate blood that brings back DC for the annual holiday. Greeting and felicitations DC What tales of long voyages and adventures do you have to share with your fellow pirates? And fellow pirates let us not forget that this great pirate holiday is shared by Def as his birthday. Happy Birthday Def! Arrgh! (a wee bit early though )

NSFW? What about all those "young" SWR members! (I would say younger, but that would apply to darn near everybody but me ) Quite the morning surprise J

Four horsepower!

I think some people already kicked that idea around. There would be a plethora of models to do, and getting enough minor characters would be a small stretch. Someone would have to be a "genius" rated coder to mod Rebellion into a game like that. They would have to "hack" the executable and know what they're doing because there is no source code available And to get 5 or 6 players to a max 2 player game? You might as well write an entire new game from scratch, like some are currently attempting

Have your "friend" give you his account. He better be beatin' down doors tryin' to fix the problem he started, otherwise he's no friend Good Luck!

I remember watching some of those on TV back in the day. They were quite cheesy by today's standard (well, OK they were cheesy no matter what ) and the "theme songs" were catchy. I wonder if they're somewhere on the net? The Marvel Superheroes (1966 TV Series) (added) (updated)The Mighty Thor theme song (updated) Fantastic Four (1967 TV series) & theme song Spider-Man (1967 TV series) & Catch 'em if you can EDIT: updated noted links
