I've been going through my interstate fiction stuff, and in the cold light of some months (in some cases years) down the line, I don't like what I see for the most part. There's a few things I really like, even now, a few things I've tinkered with and look like they're improved, but also a lot of st...

a quick script and a couple of desktop shortcuts could easily rename the folder for whichever version you want to run and launch the game.

Grey Fox, the top Escort pic is a mark 2, and is my favourite of all the marks, especially with those forest arches on. The one pictured is probably an RS1800 with the ford crossflow, rather than the pinto. The toy pic is technically known as a "cozzer" :D And is the exact moment that the ...

I know what you're saying, Mr Foot, and by all means it's just my idea, not set in stone. I would say, though, that the Escort (at least up until they put the name on a hairdresser's car in the early 80's) was never considered a lady-car. Escort, in this context, being "armed escort", not ...

Stein = Trabant. I also took the liberty of inventing names for some British tin (don't think the stories I put them in have seen the light of day) and I'll offer them for suggestion: Triumph (bikes and cars manufacturer) - Victory Ford Capri- Phaedra Napoli Ford Escort - Phaedra Bodyguard (a nod to...

Some bloke had a website with a Civ2:Call to Power unpacker on it. I remember using it to unpack i82 files. I also remember RedFive got him to write another util for i82 useage. The details, like most of my life, are long forgotten, however.

Oh noes! weres teh storiez? I've pulled the story so far off, for a few reasons. The main of which, is that I need to rewrite a fair chunk of it. In that regard, leaving the current story up only serves to confuse those who were just going to read a fresh chapter (not that my continuity has been top...

Is the poon problem related to the method hackers used to use to crash people? Spamming them with magma poons...

The solution then, was to drive in bumper-cam view while the poons were flying, I don't know if that would work with any other poon related buggery.

It's a bit Tolkien at the minute- by which I mean there's a lot of story- stuff happens, and it's noted that stuff is happening, but we're not seeing much emotion, or thoughts of the character(s).

I know I'm prone to too much introspection with my writing, but there's probably a happy medium.

I used Redline's timeline plus the stuff from the community stories to map out a timeline for the stuff I've got going on, and I've tried to keep it consistent with those stories (not a huge deal as I don't use many "real" vigs) but also with the comings and goings of the gunfighters as a ...

Someone did a piece of beat poetry in a magazine as a review of Dungeon Siege. I ripped off the idea :)
