Collages are a form of artwork, ya know.

Jeff, how much is domestic shipping going to be on the hoodies? I'd like to know before I place my order.

It's a tank. The question is more appropriately: "How many gallons to a mile does it get?"

Yay for a Navy Blue reprint (someday)!!

Unfortunately, I'll have to wait for the reprints to order a hoodie. I wanted one, but it's going to be some time before I can afford it (even if I'm not actually being charged until the print run takes place).

Same as Sky King for me, pretty much. When I first started playing BZ, my machine couldn't handle lighting without dropping to single-digit frame rates. After I got a better machine, I first started without lighting and everything looked the same. Then I started activating lighting and discovered th...

z[h]ero - he's talking about an internet connection that's purely wireless from home to provider, not an internet connection that uses wireless to connect the computer to a wired connection (that is what you're talking about, right?). Wireless Internet connections are notoriously laggy. Their high b...

The Frog raintype is used on several maps - most notable, of course, being "Rain 'n' Frogs" (one of my first and favorite maps).

With everything maxed out (except anisotropic), I usually run at about 45 - 55 fps on average for most maps. Not too bad since I'm using an older, entry-level ATI card (Radeon 9250). As for minimum playability, I can usually do just fine at as low as 17 or 18 fps. Below that, things are just untrack...

Wow. I sooooo need to get myself a second monitor now. I could really do with the extra space for enlarging my radar box - maybe then I'll actually be able to make things out properly on long range view...

Hehehe, I just didn't want to be the first person to say that.

Now I wonder if you could manage that when Grace, Hobo, and I are there...

C, BASIC, x86 Assembler, English, Lazy English, Southern, and random muttered gibberish.

Oh, yeah, and I studied Japanese for a little while, but already forgot most of it.

My graphics card does gamma adjustment automatically, and I'd prefer to use it's feature, which so far leaves me having to manually comment out the gamma setting in config.cfg after each time I finish playing. Is there any way to keep BZFlag from uncommenting that line when it closes down?

Indeed. There are almost no cases where campers can get into positions where they are totally impregnable . If there are such spots, it's a map/configuration flaw. Methods of taking campers out aren't always obvious, but with a little bit of thought (and often teamwork), the solutions come to you. ...

Green Manalishi wrote:hail to the leader!!! hail manalishi! hail! hail!!

Your statement here confuses me - you say to hail the leader, then to hail manalishi. It can't be both, since they're not the same thing, so which is it supposed to be?

I'll be missing it... Of course, it would've been one hell of a road trip to attend the seminar anyways, but still... I wonder if there'll be a transcript available somewhere on the web. It would be interesting to see what kinds of concepts and conclusions they're drawing so far from observing our i...

Grace F wrote:Im good at crumbling Green Mana's score...

I'd say you and I are tied on that, Grace.

Seriously, though, I'm usually best at GM - both static and roaming. Can even fend off Stealths with it pretty well. I'm building up my skills with Laser, but I still tend to hit myself too often with it.

Actually, I have all of my settings maxed and the tanks still don't look that slick on my screen. What version of bz are you guys playing with?

Let's see... I first started about a few weeks after 2.0.0 was released, so... just shy of 3 years now.

Neither here (6-button joystick with hat).

That's pretty kewl, Saturos. If you can get the dual-screen compatibility going, it'd be a good place to put radar, chat, and tank statistics so that you only have to worry about active HUD in the top screen.

Not my first 101 on Badgerking's, just the first one I actually managed to screen cap.

In regards to MAPS, my favorites are Rain'n'Frogs, Olympic Driving 101, and most of Louman's stuff (especially Island Hopping rabbit hunt and Mystic Valley). I like Badgerking's map, but it's really the other players there that makes me go back there more often than any other map. I also like Spiral...

Let's see... My first was Rain'n'Frogs, more years ago than I care to count. Really fun map - it's too bad it's always empty now (of course, it doesn't help that it was offline for, like, over a year).

Man, now I wish I had screen-capped my 101 on Badgerking's a few months ago...

Hmm... I guess I'm going to need to pop into Mystic Valley more often. See if I can outdo that number a bit.
