SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

Rant...

I finally downloaded the 1.1 beta and tried it on-line for a while. The only server up was of course Wolfchilds (and thank you for putting that up wolf!) but as I'm in Sweden I didn't really expect the ping to be low enough for enjoying an on-line game. Surprisingly enough, I really had fun though! The packet loss wasn't that bad at the beginning, and I got a farily stable ping around 300. While I think that a game of UT death match can't be played with a ping higher than 200 the M:R is much more about planing and tactics, meaning I could acctually bet some guys (not you Grasshopper, I was Thaxos by the way... :)) and the overall feeling of playing this beta on-line was great. Some minor buggs of course but I think they are all ready covered before. Except maybe that the fisheye in "mars needs women" worked "in a way" (the game really started to lagg when I picked it up, making it difficult to avoid shooting into walls and running the wrong way...). After a few games my ping went from 300 to +500 and I had to quit, but you will be seeing me around again there, I promise you!

Well, I really just wanted to express my appreciation for a great mod! See you starside...
