THEY BROKE TIE FIGHTER!!!!!

Quite possibly the single best pre-Freespace flight sim of all time, released THREE TIMES, the third time specifically so it would work in Windows, and then MS goes and breaks compatability AGAIN!

Welcome to the club, Omega. Many of us have felt the need to smite Microsoft for a long time. [Razz]

And getting laid, too.

and a soda too....

Not in this exact order....

Getting a soda trumps getting laid any day of the week.

Not to sound crazy and all on-topic and stuff, but assuming that you are using Windows XP...have you tried using the compatibility modes?

And I wouldn't just blame Microsoft here. They can hardly be expected to make sure that every 10 year old game still works on an operating system about a billion times removed from that the game was designed to work on, never mind that the hardware has changed radically too. Blame Lucasarts too. And blame them for not making good games anymore too.
 
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
 
PsyLiam, stay on topic: this is about getting laid, soda, drunk hookers and a creepy Trek pic where a blonde girl has giant man-hands.

Well yes, except that Apple has already done that with its Classic mode (which is admittedly probably a bit more cumbersome to start up than XP's compatibility modes). I'm still running Star Trek: 25th Anniversary ten years later... [Razz]

Okay, if you combine Win '95 compatability mode with moving one particular file off the CD and into the game folder, and don't use the launcher, it works. Don't ask me why.

You say that as if I truly care. I realize not everyone has the same priorities as me, but the one single game that I've missed recently is the "Civilization 3" expansion pack that added multiplayer capability. Other than that? It's just saving me money for more important things. [Razz]

Why don't we all use that laptop that Jeff Goldblum used in ID4? After all, if it can interface with a totally alien technology, it shouldn't take that much longer for it to work with MS Windows.
 
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
 
I am reminded of my friend Kevin.

Kevin, for some strange reason, believes that direct current electricity is far superior to alternating current electricity. Don't ask me why; I simply tune him out when he steps on his soapbox and starts preaching about how DC is the superior, master race of electrons while AC is simply an inferior poseur. On occassion, yes, he stepped on an actual soapbox. My mom was pissed because it was an antique.

One night at a party Kevin was hosting, someone goaded him into his spiel of DC > AC. My eyes glazed over, so I went into the kitchen to help myself to a Dr Pepper with a splash of amaretto. When I came back, Kevin was shouting, "I'll show you!" He immediately whipped out his penis and jammed it into the nearest electrical outlet. He got quite a shock. To this day, I have no idea exactly what point he was trying to make.

To this day, whenever I hear a macevangelist decide to start the fire and brimstone routine, I remember the sight of Kevin sticking his penis into an electrical outlet. And I giggle.

Oh come on... what do you think he was uploading to the alien computer in the first place? [Big Grin]

Siegfried: I would suspect that a rather large quantity of alcohol made that incredibly amusing story possible. Regardless, I would like to think that I am a whole lot more sensible than that gentleman... But I thank you for telling that story -- I can't exactly blame you for not taking people seriously with THAT kind of an encounter!

Liam: Stuff like textbooks, food, fuel, tuition, and more productive software. I've got a few games on my system, but I don't feel the need to go out and buy every last one of them on the market. I'd rather play one good game over and over again than get a dozen crappy ones and keep switching between them out of boredom.

Have I told the one about the sodomized Care Bear yet? With all the message boards and online people I talk to, I'm losing track of which college stories I've told who.
 
Posted by Balaam Xumucane (Member # 419) on :
 
Shame on you, MM. Your signature was to herald in a new era of reserved Mac advocacy, remember? Besides they win at games (for now...) So I built a cheap Athlon system with mostly spare bits and installed Win98. Windoze obsolence problems solved.

Anyone have a force-feedback joystick they can recommend? After a valiant attempt to save it, I fear my Logitech Wingman Force has finally succumbed to the dark side.
 
Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :
 
No, Siggy, but you've mentioned it, and that is more than enough really....

You know, with soap box penis stuffers, and care bear sodomizers for friends, I can almost see where your problem is. Do you discuss this on dates by chance????
 
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
 
What dates?
 
Posted by Styrofoaman (Member # 706) on :
 
The ones with the Care Bear.
 
Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :
 
Okay, okay, do you mention these things prior to asking for a date....

This goes along with my 6'-1.25" that Liam got such a kick out of.... Things you really don't want to discuss in reality....

Sty, if he were dating Care Bears at least he'd be getting anal sex....
 
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
 
People who know me well have probably heard all of my stories already. If I ask someone out on a date from that group, then I have mentioned those things prior to asking for a date. Otherwise, no one knows my stories unless they ask me and the situation is appropriate.
 
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
 
"...and the situation is appropriate."

So, never, then?
 
Posted by Balaam Xumucane (Member # 419) on :
 
What are you saying, Tim? When is the situation not appropriate for stories about jabbing your wick into an electric outlet. Why I think my great aunt was telling a similar story about her colored man-servant over brunch just the other day. (btw there are stories that Edison used to electrify stray pets to illuminate a similar point wrt the AC vs. DC argument)

"Say, Siggy, know any good stories about Care Bears getting sodomized???"

Looking at the outlet, I am thinking the guy didn't have much of a penis....

You'd be surprised how often that comes up.

I'm not going to start describing his penis in excruciating detail, but it was a normal-sized human penis. How he got shocked, whether his foreskin slipped in or a fingernail did, I don't really know and never asked.
 
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
 
Pleae dont share with us how you know his penis was "normal sized" or what basis for comparison you've acumilated in your life.

I am a product of the American public education system. This means that I have been forced to share a locker room and shower room with dozens of other men at various points in my life.

I also spent two years living in a dorm that had community bathrooms and a group of young guys who occassional prounced around the floor naked or near to it.

I'm also a guy with a DSL connection and KaZaA. You figure the rest out.

The Klingon Pornmeister: no longer writes Trek fanfiction or Klingon porn stories. Graduate student in physics and still a friend of mine.

Kevin: Left school and joined the army, I believe. Haven't had contact with him in a couple months.

Care Bear Lover: dropped out of school after one year and returned to Montana. Through the grapevine, I last heard he was engaged and attending school up there.

Omega: Still a conservative, archenemy is still DHTML, and still engages in partisan debates with Snay. Last I heard, his cousins were hot and his computer was pushing him to cursation.

Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
 
Because the very early Catholic Church repressed some volumes of scripture when assembling the Bible, few people are aware of the Book of Psiliemicus. In underground circles, it is known as the "Biblical Book of Laughter and Guffaw."

It puts a more human face on our Savior the Lord Jesus Holy Christ. Rather than portraying him as the always good and righteous forgiver of humanity's sins, it brings life and light to Jesus' prankster and comedic side.

The Book of Psiliemicus tells us many tales of our Christian Messiah. Turning water into wine? Yes, He did that, but he also put that wine into dribble glasses. Wonder what happened after the 6 disciples returned to their seats on the other side of the table at the Last Supper? Jesus put Whoopie Cushions under them. And, Jesus is the real inventor of the rubber chicken.

Comedy and entertaining others: the side of Jesus Christ that we seldom know about.

Did someone get all the females of the forum high while I wasn't watching or what?

Actually, the Modena can go as high as 200mph, depending on the engine. The Koenig version can go up to 205 mph. But sadly our Autobahn's aren't what they used to be, traffic jams everywhere.

Anyway, I WAS joking of course. Though I have driven one once.

Considering the 360 Modena only comes with one engine, the 3.6L V8, that means no, it can't reach 200mph. In fact, none of the many versions of the 360 Modena reach 200mph.

360 Modena goes to 183mph
360 Spyder goes to 180mph
360 Challenge Stradale goes to 186mph
360 Challenge Cup cars are for a one-make racing series, and not road legal
360 GTs are for FIAGT and endurance racing, ans also not road legal

The 360 is not geared to reach 200mph, nor would its aerodynamics handle 200mph without some accessories.

Cars!!

I want a Modena because they look neat. Also, it would help me pick up ladies who are, say, Hooters Waitressess.

Because those are a fine calibur of human being, there, I will tell you that.

Self-Esteem issues? No...

@ The359: As I said, the Koenig 360 does 205 mph, although you may rightly argue that this is not an "official" Ferrari engine.

Although my absolute favorite is this hell-machine!
Looks harmless enough, doesn't it? [Wink]

Well, considering all Koenig basically did was throw two turbo chargers onto the existing engine, of course it'd make it slightly faster.

that's not all Koenig did.. let's not forget about the scream in TWOK

I didn't know you could use the scream to power cars...

It's powered by Ceti eels.


...as pets,....of course.

One day they will. Evolution is inevitable.

Well, barring extinction or application of sufficient technological advancement.

Don't forget, evolution can prevent extinction. :-)
