@Diluted_NZ: Aaand scammer post. Mic drop denied lol...

Seriously though, that link I posted? It's to GOG.

The graphics aren't the best, but the ships feel so intuitive to fly. Sometimes it feels like you are actually being guided by the force.

Don't know how many max players there are, but if you want a Star Wars game that will make proper use of your precision joystick, here's one for you.

Enough about my opinion, here's the description from the site:

Includes STAR WARSâ„¢: X-Wing and all Tour of Duty expansions: Imperial Pursuit and B-Wing in all three versions: 1993 (DOS), 1994 (DOS CD), and 1998 (Windows) versions!It is the dawn of the rebellion.The Old Republic is gone. The Senate has been abolished. The Jedi Knights have been exterminated. Now the Emperor seeks to crush the last remaining opposition. Against the overwhelming might of the Empire stands a small but growing Rebel Alliance.Scattered resistance groups are uniting and what is needed most now are Starfighter pilots. Will you join their struggle to end this tyranny and become a hero of the Rebellion?Suit up, climb aboard your own personal X-Wing and prepare to fight for your life. Out-maneuver the evil Empire's TIE fighters and Star Destroyers and blast them into oblivion.Does this sound like the Simulation you are looking for?

@vfibsux: Sorry dude, not on this thread to stay. Just dropping in and dropping out to check if my post has actually changed the spamming situation in here.

Yeah? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh

Oh yeah. THAT link? Totes legits peeps.

Doing this out of enjoyment. Keeping it DRM free...

Let the "Ground Pounders" fight in their Beta.

See what a classic Star Wars flight sim looks like.

@suppaphly42: Yeah I figured you were just joking. I posted it more for anyone else who's reading our conversation. (Maybe even Jess...)

You ever hear of Toastmasters?

Basically teaches public speaking skills...

I started doing that because I thought it sounded different. I'm actually way more comfortable communicating through writing than face to face, and I thought I'd do something to help change that.

Can you imagine trying to explain the whole "Console vs PC" war, to a room full of people who may never have even played a game for all you know (basically people from all walks of life go to Toastmasters) in a way that everyone will hopefully be able to relate to?

Here's a link to my blog to show you my attempt at it...

This was actually a speech I gave, with a Powerpoint presentation. It's framed as a "Gamer 101" classroom guide to Gamer culture. You might get some lolz out of it.

@suppaphly42: I prefer being "just another PC user".

Or just a Gamer...

I think whatever you game on, you're entitled to the best possible experience.

If I actually drove for lolz anymore/had anywhere to actually go; I'd be perfectly happy to have a console and a car for the same money.

I would have bought a console if I liked gamepads, and didn't have non gaming uses for my computer.

The original "master race" didn't end up doing so well...

My computer's just a thing to me. I'm not proud that I could afford it or anything.

This is why...

@suppaphly42: Oh yeah I forgot - different country. I guess the default response from someone in the US would be to use "eh?" when someone says they were from Canada.

We say "eh" all the time in NZ.

This is the look on my face right now...:

yeah.... naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh

(used when you are in a conversation and you kinda get what the other person is saying but dont quite agree with what is being said, or dont really give a shit.

cuz: hey bro, did you borrow my bloody car?

bro: yeah nah , i think it was the other guy)

Sorry but from your post I couldn't tell if you were joking about not being able to understand what I had to say...

Or joking about having read it at all

@Diluted_NZ: Clarity - I could have bought a decent car for the price of my pc setup. Not boasting - I don't actually even own a car. Guess where the money went instead?

My tablet and laptop though - pure ghetto...

@suppaphly42: You know how your skillz get worse the more tired you get on an all nighter? At least if you end up tanking in a single player game, you're the only one who knows you suck.

I would say I'd avoid all night comment fests on here in the future (using my logic and argument skillz) but if I hadn't had an EPIC FAIL on here in the first place, you wouldn't be reading this right now.

I was on here because I can't usually get to sleep anyway, so it's better to do something to fill in my time. (Chronic insomnia.)

I had to dig out my POS laptop to actually be able to post on here (you may remember me posting a few comments from my tablet, but I realised that wasn't going to cut it.)

Do you think it would just turn on when I pushed the button? Dead battery lol... My power points aren't exactly user friendly - it took about 5 minutes just to be able to plug the stupid thing in in the first place.

Then it decides to perform a system update on boot. U wot MS?

I was already tired, and I was already more or less feeling like FML before I'd even gotten onto GS to start posting.

So yeah, let's just say shit happened... But it could have been a lot worse.

If you can't lol at yourself, who can you lol at?
