Planetside

By Tycho – April 18, 2003

It's hard to know where exactly Dave Georgeson fits in the Tribes pantheon, which God he represents. At different times he has been painted as either the savior or despoiler of the franchise, and finding out where the current consensus is on the man would involve braving forums overgrown with human weeds. I have long been intrigued with Planetside, seeing it running a couple years ago even in an embryonic form was enough to spark an interest that has maintained for years. I don't know if it started out being a massively multiplayer Tribes, or if what we are seeing is the Georgeson effect - but in its current form, you will see similarities that will surely warm the heart.

Greetingsssss

A lot of people have been giving Sony Online shit about their new RTS Lords Of EverQuest, but I'm glad somebody finally had the balls to make a medieval real-time strategy game. There's really no precedent for it, and I think this kind of initiative needs to be rewarded.

I was searching the game faq's forums for Soul Calibur 2 tips. I was looking for Talim combos and junk when I saw a post called "any talim users out there in game world? " I clicked on it and this was the entirety of the post:

Second Verse, Same As The First

As I mentioned a few days ago, we escaped Microsoft with nearly a hundred dollars in office supplies and copies of PSO. As I felt instinctively, the best and worst things about it are that it is still Phantasy Star Online.

I figured instead of posting in this thread I would just answer this guys rant here. He appears to have totally misunderstood me.

From the mail bag.

A great quote from reader Wayne regarding American McGee.

We put him in charge of your money.

Some of you might remember our tale from Sakuracon about our booth being next to that of Sweet Kitty. Well we all loaded up on Japanese candy that day and our supplies have finally run out. We made a special trip over there this afternoon in order to stock up again and while we were there we had some fun with their picture taking machine.

Geburtstage

By Tycho – April 14, 2003

Let me take a moment to extend heartfelt birthday wishes to Alex Green and Mark Wadley.

It's also a book!

By Gabe – April 14, 2003

Readers are writing in to tell me that Riverworld is a series of books. They are also telling me that the movie sucked ass. I guess I will have to go get the books and decide for myself. The next "New Jedi Order" book doesn't come out until April 29th so I have a couple weeks to read something new. Thanks for the heads up.

Cowboy Killers

Safety Monkey has a friend named Wally, who I often refer to as Wallingford, or by his handle Xarion. They're friends to this day because of Meridian 59, which they played years ago, and he used to visit from Wisconsin from time to time. He has no accent to speak of, except when he says Cat, which comes out like "Kyat." In any event, he doesn't need to visit anymore because he lives here. This story is from when he didn't.
