Swing by FS/Free Soldiers server sometime. They're a decent bunch, the "no cussing" rule keeps all the kiddies out, friendly fire and 'nade cooking keep it nasty and make you play carefull, and they've got a pretty sweet (I think) map/gamestyle rotation set up. Mostly S&D. It's a good time. I'm Tybalt, on there, if you wanna drop by and get shot a few times. ;) |

Meh.. I don't like no cussing rules. Soldiers are some of the most swearingist people in the world. :P
But still... I dunno, I don't like CoD multi. I prefer Day of Defeat for my multiplayer WWII action. I dunno why, I just die every ten seconds in CoD multi. |

Oh, trust me, I know how soldiers cuss. And, ask anyone, I'm not exactly a squeaky clean talker, myself. I just find it's not that big a deal in the middle of a game -- I think of it as not needing to take the time to stop playing and type out an obscenity, not as not being allowed to do so. And, as mentioned, the no-cussing does keep the stereotypical punk-ass kids out. The no cussing bit's mostly there 'cause some of the gamers in this puppy are multi generational. You'll see variations on user name -- MrSomething, MsSomething, SomethingJr, SomethingToo -- and it's because it's an entire family that only likes that one server. Crazy stuff, but most of 'em are actually pretty good. Plus it's fun to occasionally wipe out an entire family with my M-44. Mmm. Clean sweep!
Oh, well, yeah. That explains it. If I sucked, I wouldn't take someone else's invitation to come play, either. ;) |

Jagged Alliance is a damn fine game, which is damn replayable.
Count me in for a vote for a JA-esque SR game, or even a JA mod. You guys heard about this JA3 stuff? Apparently it's no longer vapour. |

Was apparently slated for real-time, but they're knocking back the release date to make it turn based.
Here. |

Now, if they'd only release an editor for this game, that would be so sweet and would go so damn well with an SR-based strategy mod ...

JA2's community is moribund. It's damn old, and quite honestly, the game wasn't that great. It was just better than any other game that had tried the turn based squad level strategy thing on the computer.
JA3D is going to be a 3D update of JA2. Who knows if they'll change more (more realism and less retarded humor'd be nice). JA3 will be a whole new game, which will hopefully take the good stuff in JA2 and jettison the crap. |

There is now a beta demo of the Shadowrun mode for Neverwinter Nights. Shadowrunner Nights
I haven´t tried it because I dont have the game installed and Im not curious enough to make the effort. But if anyone else is, it would be great to hear a review. |

There is nothing wrong with that. Hell, there are multiple sourcebooks with flying cars in/on them. |

I apologize in advance if this has already been brought up, walked into the topic late, but did anyone else catch this.
Is it just me or does that seem to imply that Shadow Run's pretty much dead as far as TT goes? |

yes, its been brought up, and yes, it could be seen that way, but given he also preface "paper RPG" with old, i'm not sure the guy really knows any such pen and paper RPG's are still being played.

So, are you saying that my response is not a valid response to hermit's criticism? Perhaps. Hermit doesn't have to play if he doesn't like flying cars. If you are saying there is no correspondence in evolutionary origin between our statements, then yes. You are spot on. |

"There is nothing wrong with that." is expressive of your approval of flying cars.
"There are multiple sourcebooks with flying cars in/on them." has just about fuckall to do with whether or not flying cars are actually a good idea. One statement does not procede from the other. |

Besides, this looks like a Futurama-Type hovercar, not even one of these jet-engine-powered air cars BitBasher linked to.
Which, by the way, I can't see going very far. Even in the US, where permits for anything are much easier to get than where I live, you do need a pilot's license to fly anything. And besides, who will tolerate cars operating at the sound level of fighter jets now? Would you want your neighbour to ride one? Air cars as usually presented in 'cyberpunky' settings are bullshit. Small planes, micro-helicopters, ultralights, all that is good and I can live with. But no aerodynes, hovercars, or back-to-the-future DeLoreans that fold in their wheels and fly. |

No, you don't. If what you fly doesn't go above 400 ft, you can fly it license free. You just have to obey local ordinances regarding air traffic and noise.

Actually, licensing is what is mainly what is holding the Moller Air-car off market. the FAA is having a shit fit over the concept, but if he can prove the safety and the software that does most of the flying can also help alleviate air-traffic concerns, this could very-well become a feasible mode of transportation. Though the military applications will come first, we should see it in the next 10 years or so.

I doupt this thing can be armoured enough to operate economically and take what low-flying things have to be able to survive. It will go the way of the Commanche.
And besides, I still am not too convinved about noise generated by these things. Those are turboprop or jet turbines (couldn't tell from the pics), for crying out loud! |

They're turboprops with electronic noise cancelling built in (environmental, not just for the pilot). Noisy, of course, but not as noisy as you might expect.

My first statement could be construed as expressing approval of flying cars (though why they care I'll never know), but it was more intended as "they exist in canon, so it is not world breaking to have them in an SR game." From there, the second statement can follow, but not necessarily. |
