I haven't been able to find an active empires server for months now. Two reasons for this: one, I only check once per day, sometimes less, and two, that time check is at about 2:00 AM, (GMT -5). I don't really feel like I can be justified participating in the forums if I can't even play the game, so I've been absent here, too. Buuuuuuut, I've also been really bored, so I figured, what the hell. It's nice to see that everyone I remember playing with/chatting with in the forums is still here. The title of this post has to do with the fact that, in my spare time, I have tried other hl2 mods, such as: http://www.eternal-silence.net/downloads.php or that goldeneye mod, or And I'll tell you all RIGHT NOW. If ANY of you empires vets goes to one of those games, be prepared to kick some SERIOUS ASS. There are so many shitty players out there, it's not even funny. Once you get used to the controls of flying in ES, oh man. Playing Empires has turned me into video game assassin. sidenote: ES is good, the flying is great, but once you master that, there's really very little depth or stratedgy in it. Not like Empires. So apparently there's some huge forum hype about 1.08, eh? What's the E.T.A., a month? Two months? A couple weeks? Also, I started a forum thread in Eternal Silence trying to get former Empires Vets to play with me. No takers, yet. Dizzyone and Krenzo havent posted in their forums for a YEAR, so.... My favorite Beer is still Hoegaarden. My name is still based off "The Tick." Has anyone seen Dumpster Fox around lately? Edit: Added a poll. I like voting. So nyeah.
E.T.A. on 1.08 is unknown - My instinct says 2 weeks or so but I really don't while. Meanwhile the forums are beginning to collapse into anarchy...
you should stick around the forums more, just last saturday we organised a game together and quite a few people turned up We also sometimes get together to play other games like dark crusade and stuff... Though we haven't really played it in a while =o ES isn't exactly very popular around here for various reasons (Other than the generally poor gameplay imo) I would definately recommend you to at least check PVK2 and dystopia out if you need something to do. As for 1.08, I'm not really at liberty to give an ETA, even if I had one
I think thats what attracts People to Empires; the incredible depth of strategy, and that is also the reason why there is a general unison about everyone feeling that other games are "Shallow"... The forums have cointained more Drama then my life; and Im finding that sad...
I don't understand what you mean by that remark; this isn't a clan site nor should the Empires forums should deal with any personal vendetas, and I will have to go with sandbad on this one, Hotpokets are indeed consumed by everyone or nearly everyone on these forums; so a steady supply must be maintained if the forums are to function...
This went offtopic fast :p Dumpster Fox posts in the forums still, but I haven't seen him ingame. You should stick around the forums as well, even if you have a hard time finding a full server.
What are hotpockets? They're a delicious American cullinary treat! Well, actually, not really. Compared to those British things, those baked pastry things with the meat filling that they sell in the Underground stations, (does anyone remember what they're called?) They aren't so delicious. And also, if I get a share of production costs on the Soap Forums, I'll tell you what I'll spend it on. Porn. Lots of porn. And also also, I fully intend to frequent the forums, especially if 1.08 is right around the corner. Edit: It's called the Cornish Pasty. Hotpockets have NOTHING on pasties! A pasty has a delicious, buttery flakey crust, and is the size of your hand, and is filled with all sorts of delicious stuff. Except not kidneys. Those taste like pee.
, Lobstah. . This is completely true. Take a look at my score here. And look at this! I killed the other guy first, which means that for a split second, my Kill-Death ratio was 10:0. 10/0, O SHI- Yaaay, Lobstah is back!
I've placed you in the "Holla Back Empires Vets" thread on the ES forums. Logan=Dumpster Fox Also: to everyone: vote, damnit! Edit: http://www.eternal-silence.net/forums/index.php?topic=3457.0 These forums are BORING. No one is on them. Will rant about that elsewhere.
