OT: The old faces are returning!

Hey Uncle_Joe/Talenn, your old screen name is not forgotten here as well!

(and for the record, yes the "D" is/was Daynarr, not Devnull)

Hey TG,

Yep, I thought I remembered Daynarr. Is he still around here?

I'm hoping to get back into SE once SE5 is released but at the moment, the demo is basically unplayable for me so I'll have to reserve judgement. Is there a planned 'TDM' modpack for SE5 yet?

Fyron/SJ:

Assuming you guys are beta-testers, has SE5 cleaned up the TCP/IP coding? I just think its odd that SE4 worked forever until 'patched' and then never again reliably. I'm hoping that doesnt represent a change in the coding structure that carries on into SE5's MP connectivity.

Hrmm... I was around way back when... I guess... I think the memory is failing in old age!

The SEV demo is very promising. Many bugs as yet... more like a limited open beta than an actual demo.

But the actual game play, I like for the most part. The AI is lame but then in the locked/grayed out controls for starting a new game the AI is locked in medium, and if it follows the SEIV pattern that means the AI isn't running on all cylinders in the demo with missing ministers and all.

We are exploring the possibilities.

I'm still here lurking off and on though I haven't posted in a long time and I'm pretty sure most here may not remember me at all.

I've been playing the SEV demo lately and will get the game when it comes out. For the modding potential if nothing else.

Dom3 also looks mighty tempting to me.

These are great boards here and I have a real fond spot for them and for Shrapnel.
