<JSP> grandpajo: so are you going to be mentioned in the BETA-testing team ?
<blim> gramps: will they make a disk version?
<Algonquin> Choad: Not from what these jokers been saying--practically had a myocardial infar...
 Well, anyways...
*** Dnormlguy has quit IRC (K-lined)
<GrandpaJo> JSP: i'm under agreement on the beta team not to discuss certain things about the
game
<Choadster> hehehehehe
<JSP> grandpajo: ok...but are you going to be mentioned with the BETA-team ?
<Algonquin> Grandpajo: When you say release, do you mean that late '95 release or the '96 one???
<GrandpaJo> JSP: like what kind of weapons, network play specs, etc
<blim> hay.////gramps///
<GrandpaJo> algonquin: the feb/march release of '95
<blim> ....will the network game be like descent#
<blim> you can join in anytime?
<blim> will it run fast on kali?
<GrandpaJo> blim: yes, you can join in a netgame anytime you want, just like descent..all inside
the game
<Algonquin> Blim: does your computer get the same writing that mine does?
<blim> ALGONQUIM: huh?
<blim> what do you mean?
<blim> Gramps: will it run fast on kali?
<GrandpaJo> blim: you don't need kali with quake, its got its own drivers
<Algonquin> Grandpajo: Not to pry specifics, but will the >8 player net-games be too crowded to
be fun?
<MeNToS> Gramps: is it true that quake will include a White bronco, an OJ monster and a Ghost of
nicole monster?
<Choadster> Bwahahahahah!'
<blim> Gramps: huh? But I want to play netgames on a modem!#

* H2H wishes he had ops so he could see the wallops (his IP is hanging out again)
<MeNToS> Gramps: is it true that quake will include a White bronco, an OJ monster and a Ghost of
nicole monster?
<blim> Gramps: how fast will it run on Kali?
<MeNToS> answer me, you old fuck!
<blim> gramps: as fast as descent?
<GrandpaJo> cousintim: yes, it has something similar to a punisher dildo...very bloody scenes i
must say
<blim> kick him!
*** snail (~[e-mail]) has joined #doom
<Algonquin> blim: The FAQ said that it would communicate with network better than Descent...
<blim> Gramps: will it run fast on KALI like descent?
<blim> oh
<GrandpaJo> mentos: well, the beta does have a strange black guy in it with a medieval type
knife..very odd
<MeNToS> GOD DAMNIT GRAMPS! ANSWER ME OR I WONT GIVE YOU YOUR ENEMA
*** _Dragon_ has quit IRC (irc.ludd.luth.se irc.ru)
<MeNToS> what about the bronco
<Algonquin> blim: Are you on a 300 baud modem droppin %95 of the info, or what?
<GrandpaJo> blim: over modem you get about 90 fps on a p133
<Choadster> 90?
<GrandpaJo> mentos: no bronco, but there will be a medieval motorcycle
<Choadster> That's amusing
<JSP> 90 ? that is good right ?
<blim> algonquim: actually I'm on a 14.4 running on an ACORN in school
<Algonquin> I think we are having a problem with the language used on this IRC group..
nevermind.
<blim> laugh will you!
<blim> ACORNS SUCK!
<blim> well..I'm going home soon
<blim> I'll log onto the net through my PC
<blim> Al: Island School
<MeNToS> heh
<MeNToS> "So pretty please, with sugar on top, clean the fucking car"
<Choadster> Well 30 is about as fast as your eyes can pick up if I remember correctly...
<blim> Hong Kong
*** _Dragon_ ([e-mail]) has joined #doom
<JSP> grandpajo: will you be mentioned as beta-tester with the quake ?
<blim> software is cheap here!
<blim> COME TO HK!
<blim> MEET TENNIS STARS (like I did)
<MeNToS> harvey keitel was a badass in that part
<GrandpaJo> jsp: yeah 90, but you can't see all 90 frames unless your video card can handle it
<Algonquin> Choad: Maybe _your_ eyes, but when some dude's bearing down on me with a BFG, I see
EVERYTHING
<JSP> grandpajo: can diamond stealth 2VRAM handle 90 fps ?
<Choadster> Well ... okay good point.
<blim> my new P6 I will buy soon should handle quake!!!!!!
*** TorQuil ([e-mail]) has joined #doom
<GrandpaJo> jsp: i don't know...that hasn't been discussed yet..i'm just glad id gave me
something to do down here in this basement
<blim> POWER PENTIUM!!
<blim> hahahahaha
<blim> cool huh?
<Choadster> Jesus what kind of video card does that take? EISA 2mb Vesa Local Bus
psycho-card-o-death?
<blim> P6...
<blim> have to go
<Choadster> Yeah that runs Windows 95 a whole 1% faster than a Pentium 133...
<blim> c you guys soom
<JSP> grandpajo: will you be mentioned as beta tester ?
<blim> at home
*** blim has quit IRC (Leaving)
<Choadster> but runs Windows NT about 100%-200% faster...
* TorQuil is in a room full of Pentium 90's.. *sigh*  and I have nothing worth playin on them
<Choadster> D'oh! TorQuil: I feel your pain.
<GrandpaJo> jsp: i don't think so...i have a test accelerator card being considered for quake
compatibility
<Choadster> I'm surrounded by Macintoshes and there aren't nearly enough guns to destroy them...
*sniff*
<Algonquin> Torq: Can't you ummm... put somehting on them?
<JSP> grandpajo: so you won't be mentioned...*sad*
<MeNToS> Gramps: IS that the one mae by phillip mcracken industires?
<Algonquin> Choad: HA!
<TorQuil> the only games I have right now are DoomI, DoomII, Heretic, and Dark Forces.. all of
which I am bored to tears with..  any suggestions?
<GrandpaJo> mentos could be ;) you didn't hear that from me though
* Choadster whimpers...it's not my fault I'm stuck with these damned Macs...!
<JSP> torquil: hmm....try mw2..just to see how it runs
<Choadster> Oooh.
<Algonquin> Grampa: If you can't say that's fine, but will I BE ABLE TO RIDE THE RED DRAGON in
the scrshot?
<TorQuil> JSP: don't have it..
<Choadster> MW2 rules on fast machines like that!
<Choadster> They love high resolution modes on it... beautiful game.
<MeNToS> Alg: only if you have the condom of penatration
<JSP> well, i have also a class full of macs just next to me, and i can feel the radiation
coming through the door....
<Algonquin> Torq: NO HEXEN?  OR DESCENT?
<GrandpaJo> algonquin: you can ride him like wild willy...it rulz
<TorQuil> Alg: nope
<MeNToS> LAg: And if you have the amulet of shape chaning you have rde her as another dragon
<Algonquin> YES!!!!!! YES!!!!!! YESSSSSS!!!!!! THANK YOU GRANPA JO!!! YOU THE BEST GRAMPS
EVER!!!!!!!!!
<JSP> hey ! descent will run well on p133 !!!
* JSP amazes himself
<TorQuil> Alg: I mean.. i guess I could go find the shareware somewhere, but.. is it worth all
the trouble?  Dark Forces runs beautifully, but the sound cards are shit.
<Choadster> How is Hexen? Saw the scareware version but the damned server here decided my disk
quota was too full to transfer it.
<GrandpaJo> algonquin: that may not be in the release version though, it slows down net games a
lot...especially when your pants get ripped off and you're riding around naked
<TorQuil> I can get the music score, but no sfx

<MeNToS> Grandpajo: Are the wild wet wonderfule water nymphs there?
<GrandpaJo> mentos: no nymphs...but there is some horny witches that the id guys thru in for
humor...they turn your cock into a woooden staff that can be used as a weapon
* Revenant wishes he could see wallops
