Overdrive Terminal / Re: Planet Battlezone .com is gone!

This is amazing. I stumbled upon a random post on reddit today which was simply titled "Battlezone. That is all."

Having been away from the gaming scene, it had been years since I had seen the words Battlezone come across my desk. With waves of nostalgia running over me, I found the introduction sequence (you know, the one with Grizzly One investigating the Soviet incursion) on YouTube and watched it with extremely fond memories.

My curiosity sufficiently piqued, I dug further around on the web to discover the very sad news that Pandemic Studios had been shut down earlier this month. A few more sites and links later, and I come across this site with usernames like Ultraken and GSH floating around with last post dates from this very month! I was shocked and stunned that the Battlezone community was going strong after all these years. It makes me incredibly happy to see that this amazing game still has such strong supporters and is still being improved.

It has been such a wonderful treat this evening to browse the forums and read about all that has happened since I was last involved with Battlezone. And I am deeply touched that someone even remembers my name after all these years. This has been a wonderful Thanksgiving treat.

I sincerely hope that I have time to drop in more frequently and follow all the progress being made! I just wanted to let you all know what a wonderful and special night this has been for me. Keep up the great work, everyone!

All the best,
Adrian "GhostFire" Wong

P.S. Back on topic, you can always try archive.org for old copies. I do not know how deep their crawlers go for PBZ.
Stick around!  We don't bite (much). :-D

Overdrive Terminal / Re: What Happened to HAL?

HAL was taken offline, and eventually merged with Star Child David Bowman, creating Halman.  Oh, wait, you're talking about the Hardware Abstraction Layer. :wink:

I would occasionally use 2X 1.4 flash cannons to heat a pot of coffee on Europa.
Did you have enough ammo to pull that off?

I'm gonna go through a checklist, just to be safe.

Ok:

Who's the protagonist?

Who's the antagontist?

What's the main struggle?

How is it resolved?

Where is the Climax?
Re-read the story, then answer the questions yourself.

Pruned.  If you want more options, ADD THEM WHEN YOU ACTUALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD.

At any rate, don't y'all think this has probably gone on long enough and maybe we should just move on? I'm sure Ken is working on fixing BZ1 when time permits, just that he may be a little slow on occasions to get something out because.. well, he could be busy with something. Same with Nathan and BZ2, since he has stuff to find out as it is.
We can move on, but I doubt that Spock's group will.

I wasn't talking about only a label band or any kind of well-known group.  I was talking about a band in general.

what happend to it?
where did it go?
did it get moved to a new location?
can I get directions VSMIT?
It was removed.
It was removed, it didn't go anywhere.
It was removed, so the new location is a bin somewhere.
No.

Get more experience under your belt before you play in a band.

Nope.  Thankfully the forum is still there, so I can direct people here.

If they can even find the forum anymore...

Only to you.

Flea is much better.
