Geez, Kennewell has moved UP to an Amiga???
Coal powered I presume :)))

Ponder this...
Before they invented drawing boards, what did they go back to?
Does the Little Mermaid wear an algebra?
If work is so terrific, how come they have to pay you to do it?
If you ate pasta and antipasta, would you still be hungry?

Most important is that it will probably SELL because of the name.
Smart guys at Gateway :-)

That's EXACTLY why I used "brand". :-)

Of course, Barry! Nice, clean, readily-available, renewable-resource (in
another hundred-million years) and comes in handy bags for easy stoking. :-)

And I like your "ponderables"!

Thank God!
I thought it must've been a new form of motor-racing....keep within the
maximum lap time allowed or you get dive-bombed!

Since u are so cynical: tell me WHY you find those screenshots so amasing
??????

by **Jan Verschuere** » Sat, 10 Jun 2000 04:00:00

I don't give a rat's behind about how a game looks (my bank manager has a
different idea... he likes low system reqs).

What I do care about is the developers, in answer to a direct question from
a known "serious" simracer, have gone on record as wanting to better or at
least equal the physics modelling found in GPL. I suggest you have a look at
the featurelist posted elsewhere on this forum and the log from the online
chat where they made that statement (Simracing Insider, was it?). If
anything, the graphic level they're already acchieving worries me...
processor cycles which could be put to better use elsewhere if you catch my
drift.

These people are trying to make a game for us, simracing enthousiasts, in a
marketplace which doesn't really believe in such an endeavour anymore. We
cannot support them financially yet (can't buy the game), so the least we
can do is morally support them. I trust the West brothers and I trust the
people who have commented about the game here.

PS.: including Tim, that's 3 simracers on Pandora already.... The people at
TvD have good conn's too. Couple more and we can have some proper online
simracing (sub 30ms pings ;-))

Right now Im downloading the demo...
I suppose Ill have a clue of what WSC is going to be later tonight.

By the way: zit jij ook op de telenet kabel?

by **Thomas Heinema** » Sat, 10 Jun 2000 04:00:00

yeah right, and im getting GPL2 tomorrow....

by **Scot** » Sat, 10 Jun 2000 04:00:00

Wow, congrats! Maybe you can explain to us all how you got a working demo
of WSC when the BETA testing has not even begun yet?

I take it you mean you're willing to try the demo and do some surfing on the
subject of WSC tonight as, to my knowledge, there's no demo yet (can't wait
tho' ;-)). There might be some E3 gameplay footage floating about, but I
can't find it anymore, sorry.

You can find the chatlog I was referring to on...

BTW: ja, wat dacht je misschien? <g>
