  • Some Gamers take things too seriously!!

    True, this is terrible. I understand China has plans to make laws over "gaming theft". It may get worse if they don´t do something soon. WOW is going to be released to them soon and that will no doubt be more popular than whatever it was this guy was playing.

  • FL,The Return - And so it continues Ch.11! Updated 4/19/05

    Thanks for the compliment<img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> I can´t be arsed now to mess about with a site, i´m just going to bring this home. This is chapter 12. Most have probably seen it. I will just put the finalised version up there. I have started to piece together a SOS edit. No idea when my next chapter will be up as a friend of mine is not too well at the moment so i´m coming and going. <b>Chapter 12 - Disbelief </b> “There must be some kind of mistake here doctor. This just cannot be possible” said Orillion. The look of concern on his face was for all to see. Dr Sinclair shook her head. “It’s true. I’ve run it through several times. It is definitely Russian” Juni turned to look at Orillion. “What does this mean? Do you think it has anything to do with the message we were sent?” she whispered. “I don’t know Juni” replied Orillion. “I think we need to get in contact with Trent urgently” “What about our friend in the infirmary?” Said King. “He could hold the key to all of this” “Go down there now King. Contact the Osiris, they will send some guards down for you. There maybe some angry people out there if this gets out.” “Yes sir” King left the bay and made his way to the infirmary. “What are we going to do about this?” asked Juni. “I don’t want the houses contacted until we know exactly why our Russian friend is here” replied Orillion. “The last thing we need is rumours and speculation” “Shall we continue our work?” asked Sinclair. “Yes. But we will do it on the Osiris. I will go and make the arrangements for all of this equipment to be transported there. Juni can you go and catch up with King and wait for the arrival of the guards from the Osiris. I want to keep as few people outside of the Order in on this. That includes the Dom Kavash” Just as Orillion finished his sentence a Dom Kavash guard ran into the room. “Mr Orillion, our scanners have picked up a large number of unauthorised ships in the system. We have scrambled craft to intercept” “Thank you for letting me know” said Orillion. He turned to Juni. “Get up there, find out what the hell is going on” “Yes Sir” replied Juni. She ran out of the engineering bay straight to her Anubis. She took the ship gently off of the platform and made her way out of the planets atmosphere in to space. “Ms Zane, here to join us?” Came Omalia over the comms. “Yes, I hear we have some guests” “Indeed we do” “How did they get past the Bretonian Forces?” “They didn’t. They just appeared on the scanners here in this system” “Well then I guess we should find out who they are the old fashioned way” Juni and the 10 Dom Kavash ships with Omaelia started to head towards the unidentified ships. “Omaelia, the ships have changed direction and are heading on an intercept course” said Juni over the comms. “Lets see what they are up to then” she replied. As they got closer, Juni opened up a channel to the ships. Juni’s scanner was picking up at least 25 of them. “Unidentified ships, this is Colonel Zane of the Order, please state your intentions” She received no response and repeated her message. “Omaelia, I’m getting no response, they should be in visual range any… second…. now….wow” Before her and the Dom Kavash were what looked like 20 very heavy fighters of unknown design and marking. The ships were decorated with bright yellow hulls. “Leave us or be destroyed” came a voice over the communications channel. “Who are you?” asked Juni. “No time for pleasantries Ms Zane. All ships, open fire” shouted Omaelia. “Wait!” said Juni. It was too late. Omaelia and the rest of the Dom Kavash forces engaged the unidentified ships. “Damn it Omaelia!” The Dom Kavash forces flew in and out of the ships. Their far superior fire power gradually started to overwhelm the unidentified ships taking several out very quickly. One of the ships engaged Juni. “Oh no you don’t” she said to herself. She started her evading her enemy and eventually managed to flank the ship and open fire on it. She hit its rear engine, which slowed it down. For very heavy fighters, these ships appeared to be more manouvourable than any she had encountered. Slowly, the attacking ships started to lose more but not before 5 of the Dom Kavash fighters were taken out. With that, the unknown ships engaged their cloaking device and disappeared off of sensors. As Juni stood down, she got over the comms to Omaelia. “Why did you attack them!? They could have been here to seek our help!” “I suggest you watch what you say Ms Zane. These ships were trespassing in our home and if you and your friends are not careful, you will be too” Omaelia cut the communication channel and flew back to Sprague

  • Freelancer Movie

    I too believe there is serious movie potential in the game. If i recall someone started doing a script for it. One thing is for certain though, it would need to be made by the fans and not have Paul W S Anderson come in and do it. This is where hollwood go wrong in doing game to film conversions i think. Mortal Kombat (I know, made by Paul Anderson) wasn´t too bad, Tomb Raider and Street Fighter were awful although the manga street fighter was pretty good.

  • Why the Playstation 2 is a peice of crap.

    The older large model i have put in when i first got GTA:SA i put more then 10 hours straight in no problems. These problems happen, its hardware. A lot of it has been put down to faulty models and such. A friend of mine got the DRE with SA every now and again, he even lost 50 hours of game play because his saved game became corrupted. As for SA going to Xbox, it is and very soon. It´ll also be appearing on PC. I am going to have to agree, the PS2 whilst i love mine to death, can´t really compete with the Xbox power. GTA ran fine on mine with little slowdown and the game has stalled only once. Some users have also put it down to how often you play your PS2 but frankly thats a load of crap because mine has been used and abused and i have never had a problem with my current one.

  • Why the Playstation 2 is a peice of crap.

    I´m on my third or fourth PS2 after many DVD problems with it. The DRE is not uncommon though killa. GTA:SA has caused a hell of a lot of people to buy new PS2´s because of DRE´s. If you go down that route, i recommend (from various others) that you don´t buy the slimline PS2 because it has a tendancy to overheat when you play like 10 hours straight.
