Hello?
Anyone home?

It seems pretty dead here lately. If only we had more time for some frag time.

Spirit was crushed; now is fading, But I want to help make things right.
Because I can see and I can feel, and you can see and you can feel
So why don't we both either stand up and fight
Or at least together we'll call it a night.

I'm just wondering if it is an April Fools joke or not...

April Fools - the Wrapup
So, yeah. It's April 2... which means the silliness that is April 1 is over again, for another year. For those who might be more optimistic than discerning, the following stories were (for better or worse) not real: Halo on the PSP, Halo - the MMO, One One Se7en: the Book (I think), The Squadron Ep 17, Halo for the DS, the Helljumpers' pink makeover, the silly Xboxic story, and Halo 2 on OSX. Everything else was legit. [..] (Louis Wu 03:59:10)

I could make a special occasion or arranged game, but am still wrassling the hardware upgrade into shape. I should be on more regularly after that (wouldja believe high-powered PCIe vidcards use a special 6-pin aux connector? I just got my 2x4-pin Molex to 6 pin adapter).
...and... still no XBL puck.

Re: Hello?
There has been news, too, but little time to post, so that plus Icks' vacation makes it seem pretty dead instead of just slow.

Re: Hello?
And NAG!
Now, if we could just get Tracks in here again, we can get a reunion frag-fest going.
And speaking of frag-fests, how does this weekend sound to you guys?

Ooh... Reunion Fragfest. That's special.
Just saw a post of yours elsewhere, GE, and came to check here. W00ts!
I'd better get some practice in.

Re: Hello?
Heh, unfortunately i'm nowhere close to playing; my G5 is still far far away and my PC is having enough problems as it is (great machine, just wont hibernate, sleep, or boot properly...and lets not get into media...). I also have a midterm on monday and a big engineering project on the horizon.
Cali...is OK. Spring break was chill, did nothing, unfortunately. Was supposed to go to Havasu for the week but my friend pussed out on it and the whole plan went to the birds. 5 full weeks of school and counting, though, which means I need to get on the ball registering for new classes and internships or summer school. Or nothing, but that would probably be dangerous.

No. In fact, I'll be shutting down overmod tonight when I get home (so before 6pm server time).

Re: Hello?
Heads up...
I have a new home for MA3. Within a few weeks I'll bring'er down and mover her to a new location with new IP. Then we can decide if it is a better home or not.
More later when I have a solid date.
The change?
Moving from the current shared T1 to a dedicated wide open 3mb ADSL line. We should get less lag, better pings and add more peeps.

I'll be at a LAN all day/night Saturday, but I should have some 'net access. I'll try to remember to check in if there's a game planned. Those LAN weenies usually devolve into some RTS nonsense I want no part of anyway.

Well if its got a nice upload like my line, should have no probs hosting up a full 16 person server. Wish I could have gotten my dedicated to work.

Re: Hello?
Someone get me a fast internet connection, a fast computer, a copy of the game, and a time warp device so I can be in the right time zone and I'll be there.

Re: Hello?
If the time warp warp device is good enough, you don't need a FAST Net connection. Just some tweaking.

Oops said ADSL...ment SDSL. It is 3mb up and down.
SBCs business class 3mb SDSL for $80 mo. Not a bad deal but not as nice as Comcasts 6mb cable line for $50 mo.
