Ok!
     At the risk of being ridiculed, which I REALLY HATE BTW, I feel I must interject:  “Oh come on now guys. Let’s be nice to each other and foster an environment of acceptance and kinship in our little community. We should be spending more energy on expanding our player base, not further refining our highly cultivated cynicism.”

If that’s not enough, here’s a comment by Cedric that’s partially applicable.

Carry on.

I'm very happy to hear that SC2 is being ported for play on the console systems. It looks wonderful and sounds even better.
You may not know, and it has been taking me a while to complete, but I am re-doing all the media originally found on the 3DO version of SC2. This material will be publicly available free of license. I encourage you to consider using it in your port.
Best of luck with your project.
***Thumbs Up***

My solution or request is to have the original SC2 ported to the X-Box 360 Arcade.

Well, then what about...this?

OMFG o_O XD
52  The Ur-Quan Masters Re-Release / General UQM Discussion / Re: You know you're an insane SC2 fan[boy/girl] when... on: April 09, 2008, 03:49:27 am
-You run into a science classroom full of colorful, ball-and-stick atom model projects and think that the room is actually hosting a miniature Spathi invasion force

-You stare at gas giants using telescopes in the hope that you'll see glowy bits (you sick bastard)

-You go to the gas station to exchange Resource Units for Endurium (er, wait, wrong game)

...I already ran out.
LOL

Well that does it. You didn't take the advice to merely adjust the handicap point structure. While continuing to ban one of the more interesting ships from your tournaments. I played last time because it was different. Boo I say!
I will not be attending.
54  The Ur-Quan Masters Re-Release / General UQM Discussion / Re: *Time* is not one but many. *Space* is many. *Colors* are many. on: April 01, 2008, 02:48:43 am
Sort of on the subject:

I always thought that when the Orz were talking about “many bubbles”, they were referring to atoms or molecules. Perhaps “Outside” is a dimension with much different rules. Where “smell/color” has an even more powerful influence than they do here and matter and energy behave differently.
55  The Ur-Quan Masters Re-Release / General UQM Discussion / Re: March Melee Tournament on: March 22, 2008, 01:20:43 pm
I have actually had a similar problem before. I would suggest that you print the screen after the battle to show the score and make sure your team name reflects your irc handle. You can show the picture to the tournament leader if a problem arises. Yes, I believe you can change your team between battles.

I disagree with the exclusion of the Thraddash for 150 point players, and suggest that limitation be imposed on only the top tier players. I however yield to your tournament rules under protest.  I’m in.
57  The Ur-Quan Masters Re-Release / General UQM Discussion / Re: March Melee Tournament on: March 21, 2008, 10:52:17 pm
Well I'd enjoy playing. However, I remember being banned because I refused to comply with the no Thraddash rule and tended to play long matches when facing a better player. I’m really not interested in debating the finer nuances of evasion tactics when playing a mutant player who is mostly used to running down and totally murdering the opposition. IE: "boring matches" vs. "time limit" -Did you mention a time limit? Or is that determination still arbitrary? IE: "foul play"
Is my ranking to be re-evaluated by some kind of grand potentate before I am included in the handicapped group? -Or am I still.. just plain banned?   HuhAngry
58  The Ur-Quan Masters Re-Release / Starbase Café / Rant about the Wii. on: March 17, 2008, 07:28:37 am




     Go to hell designers of the Wii. I for one, refuse to get off my lazy American ass and wiggle a joystick at my TV. I enjoy allowing all the muscles in my body -excluding my fingers to atrophy. I enjoy vegetating in my couch while playing games in high definition as I attempt to simulate a sea anemone. What cursed and malevolent thought process led to such a design? Why must I rely on gravity to counterpoint a proportional control vector? Is it inertia? Is it positional triangulation? Damn your design as I attempt to play the new Zelda on my ailing Game Cube. What do you mean “This disk can not be read.”?!!!  I don’t care that the polygon count is truncated because the Game cube has one fourth of the display memory of the Wii. I don’t care that old people are getting into Gerwiiatrics because Japanese designers and psychologists discovered that games became easier to learn if you limited the number of buttons and control sticks. I don’t care that children are leaning spatial recognition at an even younger age because of your design. I don’t care that you’ve added backwards compatibility with older games. I don’t care about game titles like "Wii Fit". If I ever get a Wii, It’ll be because I stole it and special ordered the Professor Stephen Hawking quadriplegic controller.

WTG Arne...    All awesome. Very well done. True to core.
60  The Ur-Quan Masters Re-Release / Starbase Café / Re: SC2 laws, copyrights, etc... on: March 12, 2008, 04:17:00 am
        This does indeed answer several important questions. Thanks meep-eep for that information. The possible repercussions of outright plagiarism were of concern to me since I’m in the process of doing quite a bit of recreation/reinterpretation of Star Control material. This concern is perhaps unfounded considering the fact that I will never accept any monetary gains from the project, nor do I expect any. So there is nothing to sue about anyway.
        I assume that if Star Control material were used in a commercial product, TFB should (and likely would) require consent and some sort of royalty contract. As far as not for profit fan work, anything goes I would say. It never hurts to ask for permission though. Wink
