Sorry, but, it's true....

You don't have to be sorry Yank... You've got some serious catching up to do though

Check out Gridrunner++ (there's a free 5 level version or shell out Â£5 for the full version) for an excellent introduction to Yak's games. Don't expect too much in the way of flashy visuals (you'll need to wait for Unity for that) but you will find one of the finest shooty games of the last few years inside the download.

You've already said that you aren't going to buy a Jag or a Nuon - but do yourself a favour and find one to borrow, T2K & T3K are among the finest games ever written. I am not joking.

Cheers
Chris

On an Edge related note...

Does anyone know of a website that features all of Edge's scores? Just interested to see where they're coming from...

Cool, where can I get that? Also, I have stoopid dial-up, will I be able to download it in a reasonable amount of time?

http://gubbeen.dowcarter.com/Gridrunner/grdl.html will do the job. 2.8M, so dial-up is fine.

Goat, I've downloaded RedHat ISOs on dialup, I don't see what the problem is

Some dialups have a 2 hour cut off, so it depends if the file can be resumed or not.

2.8M would take about 20 minutes on my old dial-up connection...

Good point, forgot about that

(It's been years since I've had a "normal" dialup; I'm currently using an always-on 56k connection which drops out maybe once a month

)

Of course the speed of d/l depends on many factors, but yes, you could get it that quick.

Goat, 2.8M in 20 mins... damn, I am not sad to see the back of that :]

Cuntyfuck.... my ADSL connection has been rejected again by the same telco whose Retail arm says "Yep, no wuckers", while the techy arm says "Nup, pair gain" - even though I know there's no pair gain on the line...

Well, I have AOL, and I absolutely loathe it. It always messes up on me.

Curious... same here... but AOL Broadband so far for me has been pretty okay. Occasional disconnects but apart from that, nothing to complain about...

It never goes away. It even gets reinforced when you are compelled, for some technical reason, to resort to dial-up for a session. Ye Goats, how painful is that?
