I remember that we used to play Gulf of Oman and that map with the Dam as 16 player back in the day on the BF2 server, and they was quite good. Sidi as 16 player with 32 of us on it might be a good laugh.
The trouble with the vehicle maps in 2142 (and BF2) is that there is little or no organisation, and not much infantry action. Maybe we could try some of these in the smallest maps as then you’ve got less running around and normally find yourself in the thick of the action from the beginning.
Unless you’re a massive, massive ghey most of us like playing infantry (ie city) maps the best, because there’s much more action, and less faffing around trying to get a lift, or waiting around until a vehicle spawns so you can drive it to the nearest firefight.
Anyway, I’ve forgotten what my point was, but I think it was something along the lines of Zig Zag likes boys bottoms or something.

oo neon lights!!
They make you PC faster apparently!
Proven fact there iNSANE. For example, this is possibly the fastest PC ever made:
I don’t fully understand how it all works, but something to do with positrons activating dilitium in the photon accelerators. At least that’s what Chris Willis said.
I’ll have to take a picture of my rig one day and post it here. It is indeed a very neon-i-fied PC.
I’ve gone off war. I think war is wrong, so Battlefield 2142 is wrong.
As Benjamin Franklin said:
“There never was a good war, or a bad peace.”
Although, now I think about it, that film ‘Hot Shots: Part Deux’ was a pretty good film, and that was about war. In fact, it had some good lines in it too:
Thank you, Topper. I can kill again! You’ve given me a reason to live.
War… it’s fantastic!
Phew! I’m cured of my sudden aversion to war. I’ll be on the server tonight from about 6pm, ready for an extra helping of war!
Oh Johnny, you’re such a luvvie! But Bernard Hill is very cool. Just make sure he’s not been possessed by that big, firey eyeball thing.

Well, if you want to pop round to our place, remind him to use the rservants entrance, no Thespians allowed through our front door since a certain incident some years back.
Now that is something that I think you should ellaborate on Pharty…
I voted for the A3, but for the love of god DON’T get it in canary yellow! Get it in black, graphite grey or diesel blue, but just don’t choose yellow.
If you do I will be forced to break into your flat and use all of your Humbrol paints to give your A3 an ‘urban camo’ finish, so that when you get up the next day you’ll have trouble finding it. This might make your A3 a potential road hazard, however I believe that the pros will outweigh the cons.
So in summary:
A3 = Yes
Yellow = No
It is an inspired little film, which I wish I’d thought about making. I like the bit when their hiding from ‘enemy guard dogs’. Brought back a lot of memories.
During WWII my friend Dave and I were part of the elite SAS BMX division. We partook in many dangerous missions that would involve us being parachuted behind enemy lines, whereby out tactical use of wheelies, bunny hops, skids and the occasional endo threw the Third Reich into disarray.
There were a few occassions where we had to jump over German Tiger tanks and drop grenades into the hatch (which was open), causing the tanks to explode.
Which is pretty much what happens in conventional warfare.
I’ve got to agree with Vic on this one. Without exception I have found stick guns to be the most accurate weapon I’ve ever used, that’s taking into account paintball, BB, air rifles, shotguns and real guns.
I remember I had a stick gun with the magazine sticking out the side, like a sten gun. On one occassion I managed to shoot at least 20 German soldiers without reloading, whilst bracing the gun against my hip.
I also found the most effective noise to make as I fired at enemy troops (which varied from Germans to Argentinians, from robots to aliens) to be “Ah-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA” as I rapidly swayed the stick gun from side to side.
My grenades varied from stones to sticks, depending if I was using my own, or pulling them from the belts of fallen stormtroopers. On more than one occassion I ran up to an enemy tank and shoved a grenade in the barrel of the main gun, which made the whole tank blow up.
I’m pretty sure that’s what real warfare is like.
All this booting and rebooting the server sounds like a lot of hassle. After a brief discussion on TS last night, we decided that Pharty should be on 24 server call out, with an ideal response time of less than 2 minutes. We’ll also happily pay for the equipment that Pharty will need to fulfill this role:
“Bah! I’d have got a shot off at that deer if the RAID hadn’t spun up!”I got hit by a car a couple of years back when I stepped out from behind a bus. The woman driving hit her brakes and the car clipped my foot and spun me around onto the windscreen. Luckily I had a backpack full of gym stuff over my shoulder, which absorbed the impact and threw me down the road. Appart from a few bruises I was relatively unscathed (although without the bag I’d be dead), but the woman was in tears, so I had to calm her down, before I limped into work.
For those of you still interested in AGP, Toms Hardware has just done an article about updating your old system with a new card:

Try wiping it after you take a shit, Neon started doing this and told me it felt a lot better. Plus people stopped moving away when he sat next to them on the tube.
Pah! If god meant us to do that, he’d have made our hands out of Andrex, which is why I stopped doing it.
Power to you Mafia! Be an individual and don’t give into corporations who try and hoist such ideals as ‘puppy soft’ on us in the name of cleanliness (and social acceptance).
Be strong!
Never been to Glastonbury and probably never will go to Glastonbury. I went to Greenbelt one year and it was shit (mainly ‘cos my insane GF flipped out slightly more aggressively than usual).
However, I think some people take the piss with an event like that, trying to get in for nothing, or conversely paying a fortune to touts or selling tickets on Ebay etc.
But the idea of having to provide that level of personal details for the event is a bit OTT. When I used to go boarding, they used to stick your picture on your lift pass, so you couldn’t sell it on, but your details weren’t held on a database anywhere.

I saw something about this too here:
http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2007/01/09/ASUS_unveils_external_notebook_GPU/
I’m surprised it hasn’t been done before, but I don’t see how it can be connected up to a laptop in order to efficiently ramp up the GFX. Surely the onboard chip connected to the mobo PCI-E bus would be much faster?
