Wow.

That must be awesome. I get the mental image of you waving your arms around wildly and jumping up and down as you play. :lol-old: At least you must be getting a workout when playing. How much would you guys know about connecting a non-conventional controller to the computer to play BZ? I'm an RC air...

1. Not too big and complex, easy to navigate - Badgerking's 2. Enough obstacles to make shootouts interesting, but not so crowded as to make it hard to drive. - Spiralzone 3. Well balanced design for the super-flags, teams and combat. - I need to think on this one... 4. Novel, creative design - Loum...

I really liked Spiralzone when I was younger because there were so many nice players who helped me out when I was a noob. Nowadays, I love badgerking's for its intense close-combat and hidey-hole environment.

I'm practically pegging the ID button as much as the fire button. Usually if I don't I find myself dead by an unforeseen SW, G, SR, GM, L, you name it. :D

How Long Does It Take To Get Good?

For the sake of the noobs who feel it's a long way to the top... It took me about 150 hours of play for me to stop getting a negative score. Then to start being among the top three or within 10 kills of the leader, about 300 hours more after the first 150. Even now, I still see I have lots of room f...

I seem to a master at pwning myself spectacularly.
You and I are alike, I am my own worse enemy most of the time. :wink:
Where can I find all my shot statistics? I want to see if my hunch is correct that I have shot myself more times than anyone has shot me. :oops:

I sometimes play it because my computer can handle the simpler graphics better; hence I get improved game performance. Also, there are no wingers :lol-old:

I remember the old school BZFlag, after you shot your opponent, his tank would bust into flame and a man would come out and surrender, and you could shoot this man. >)

Someday, we can make a super-violent DOOM patch for BZ just to drive people crazy. Sigh, I'm seriously nuts.

Last night, I was listening to a radio interview of Attorney Jack Thompson by Chatterbox Radio (See end of post). As a member of a gaming community, I had to raise an eyebrow to some of Thompson's claims. Thompson has been well-known for is campaign against obscenity and violence in popular media. A...

What you need to do is make a Halloween Exclusive Special map for October 31st. It could be made to look like a haunted house, complete with all the traps and pitfalls (much like MadCity's sewers that will rust your tank). That way not only will the teams have to fight each other, but they will have...
