Well if it makes any difference, none of us will ever catch up to your 619 posts.

Well, I'm going back home for easter today, and I wouldn't be too surprised, if by the time that I come back, every topic here is marked as new and you have 700+ posts  Wink

Bloody hell, I don't think I have that much creativity left in me. Besides, that would make a tenth of every post in this forum mine. And while I am ecstatic at surpassing Shiver's posts tally, I still have G.N. and Omni and Death_999 to try and catch up to, before I can even attempt to close with you.

Yeah, besides, how else is Death_999 going to reach his 'Enlightened' state, without another 12 posts to reply to? Even from the top to the bottom of the hierarchy, we Ur-Quan have to look out for one another.


This reminds me - what exactly is a Primat? #001, Top Banana-Quan?

In any case, given the number of posts it looks like you're determined that the way I'll become enlightened is entirely talking with you...

Try saying hi to the Dnyarri without a mind shield.

This sounds all too familiar... yes, the nightmare begins again.
Perhaps we should contact the Kohr-Ah Primat, explain to her.
No, they will not believe. They are too stubborn and simple-minded.
They will not see the danger until it is too late!
Human, begone! Leave my sight! We must defeat the Kohr-Ah speedily
so that we can attend to this new Dnyarri menace.


See, my options were: Zoq, Talana, Queen Veep Neep, Utwig High Proctor, and Kohr Ah Primat. And I suppose, Sullen Plummet.

None of these had any appeal to me whatsoever except for either Zoq or Kohr-Ah. And Omni's already got a picture of a Fot, and there's someone who already has a picture of the Pik, so I didn't want to be another sheep in a flock.

I just had to pick that little Fot...  that eye of his is just so creepy when you think about it.  It's staring right at you... Not speaking, just staring.  Those Fots are creepy little buggers!  And I love 'em for it...  Cheesy  I find it amusing that the only girl on the forums picked the most violent race in the galaxy for her identity.  Good pick, K.P.!  You've already frightened the majority of male members on these forums!  Hehe.  I congratulate you for this task.

you can get a copy of sc2 pc version on *****. there are only two sources to download from but thats where i got mine. i once owned the single cd that had both sc1 and sc2 with a map in perfect condition, but sold for a rip off of $20. now i kick my self every time i think about it.. ouch!

Why not just do what I did.  Set up an old 486/66 made from junk parts I had lying around and build a classic gaming box... Star Control series, Mortal Kombat 1-3, Doom (original and perhaps 2), Duke Nukem 1,2, and 3D, Nesticle (with ROMS), etc.  I call it the DOStendo as opposed to a Wintendo which is sitting across from it and plays the modern stuff.

The only primat I know of is Beldar Conehead's wife.

What can I say... I respect and worship evil. *evil smirk*

...and I wouldn't say I've frightened most of them. Maybe irritated... *laughs maniacally*

Yeah I tend to not think of those things.  I have about a metric ton of computer parts around, but I work in the field.  I'm on call 24/7 for a datacenter providing daycare for big HP 9000 equipment.  Most of my 20 or so computers at home are not Intel based (in fact I don't consider x86 machines "real" computers --  Smiley Most of my machines would crush a PC if they fell on them)  One of these days if I have spare time my friends and I will fix the sound loader code to be endian-safe so we can run it on the Mac and hear sounds as opposed to just hearing the music.  The 486 I built I swiped from my ex-employer's trash pile... swipe isn't quite true because I asked #1, and #2 I was the director of IT.

Well, I guess you're right!  You're not really frightening.  You're more kind and innocent than evil.  That is, if you consider maniacal laughing innocent...  well, I'm certainly not frightened!  Hehe, no siree!  Roll Eyes

Beyond the whole Dnyarri compassion thing, whatever could possibly give you the idea that I'm kind and innocent, Omni? Okay, so there is the whole banana thing, and the whole romance novel thing, and the...

Damnit.

I dunno, maybe I always thought deep down inside, the Kohr-Ah had at least some good inside of them...

Now that I think back, they really don't.  You must be pure evil, K-P...  no doubt in my mind!

Rar. You're going to end up Enlightened at this rate, Omni.
And yay, I'm *smell* controller now.

Personally, I'm not into the whole concept of good and evil. I just feel there's actions, and there are consequences.

And to address the topic of the post:
I think that reconstructing the code is the very first step in improving upon the game. Once you've gotten the remake of the original down, then you have something to work off of to improve the game. Plus, I personally believe in UQM being a rebirth of the series. I'd rather think of the series as the Ur-Quan Masters Series, starting with this game, and possible sequels coming along in the form of UQM2, and such and so forth. I don't particularly lend a lot of weight to SC3 as a sequel (obviously) and to be honest I'm not particularly big on the whole Timewarp project and where they're going with it. I guess you could call me a purist in that sense.

Personally, I just want to see what Fred and Paul can pull out of their collective noodles for this series.
