Re: Origins Update
I wish I could attend. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
We want pictures of Geo! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif And the guy with the hair looks like the guy from American Choppers. (Discovery Channel series) You know the Mikey, the guy that is always sweeping the floor? Any ways, nice seeing pictures, now only if there was a SEIV running demo. Oh by would they ever get attention then. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif And Lock and Load is a cool game too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif [ June 27, 2003, 11:29: Message edited by: Atrocities ] |
Re: Origins Update
Hmmmmm, Hey maybe we could have a little contest. Ala "Where's Waldo". Call it "Where's Geoschmo". We could post several pictures of the crowd mingeling about the Shrapnel booth and the winner is the one that can spot the picture of me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Origins Update

Re: Origins Update
BTW another update is up.
I was told by SOMEONE http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif that they didn't know I was back. I don't post as often but I made an announcement that I was back a month or so back. But so everyone knows I am back and operational at Shrapnel. Origin's has been really cool so far. |
Re: Origins Update
Glad to hear that you are back full time http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif we miss the inside scoop http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Origins Update
Good to see you back Richard. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif So which one is Mac? The one waving? I can't seem to distinguish which one could be him.

He's the old troublemaker.
Ohh shoot it's too hard to tell http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif . He's on the left. |

Re: Origins Update
Aahhh, Well here is a short summary of our excursion to the Origins in Columbus and meeting the Shrapnel Crew...
We arrived and began our journey thru the various booths, games and some umm delicatly dressed up young fillies that were just hanging out all over the place, of course these Last were oogled, ah I mean checked out, er, looked at purely for Research data on the various aspects of their enlightening custums. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif One well dressed young lady was wearing only a set of chain mail (and thats all) of which may be seen on Richards update posting for day 2. Tim, after great soul searching, volunteered to have a picture taken with her for strictly research data on the various attributes of various armour that was used in the past years of warfare. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Now where was I, Oh, as we wandered thru the numberous booths and displays we came upon the Shrapnel site. Now, I imagined that the Shrapnel crew probably had numerous tatoos, wore blk leather, rode harlys and all had symbiote growths upon their upper torsos http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif . Weelll, I was wrong again. We met Tim, Richard, Annette and Mark and found them all to be the most gracious and friendly of people one would ever want to meet. It was a pleasure to talk with them and to discuss some of the aspects of their company, SE4 and their other games. It was a very enjoyable experience and a pleasure meeting all of them. I just wish we could have spent more time with them, maybe some day we can have a Shrapenl/forum/se4 get together. I did mention this to Richard and reminded him that we discussed this possibility in the past, with all of us crashing at his house, http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif but he sighed and said his home was just to small for all of us http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif We had a great time and we look foreward to meeting them all again, possibly at the convention later this summer in Indiannapolis. just some ideas Mac [ June 28, 2003, 04:17: Message edited by: mac5732 ] |

If that is trouble, then count me in too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif |

noo dont go to indy or whatever, come to Calgary!!

Re: Origins Update
I actually thought of going over there too at first to drop in and meet everyone (and do a little side pushing of my own games perhaps if the opportunity presented itself), but realized I had too much stuff going on here, including working hard on my next project for Shrapnel. *sigh*
The pics posted are pretty funny. I like the cheesy smile on Tim's face in that pic "Someone's trying to get into trouble" and the one beneath it. A fitting revenge. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif And the Day 1 pic "Our fearless leader, dazed and confused" and boy does he look it. Has that distinctive "run over by a truck" look only a long day gives you. lol http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif |
Re: Origins Update
We had a few folks who requested IT2 demos BTW.

Re: Origins Update
Are you going to make GenCon at Indy since you couldn't make this one

Re: Origins Update
mac5732: assuming you're referring to me - i'll try but i'm not sure really. My new project for Shrapnel, Coliseum (new preview up on Wargamer.com!), will probably be in early beta by then, so i'll be pretty busy tuning it up. Also, some personal stuff going on.
I didn't hear; Shrapnel's going to be at GenCon? Richard: Cool....Thanks for letting me know! Nice to know Lock n' Load isn't hogging all the spotlight and glory there. lol http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif |

Re: Origins Update
We were talking about going to GenCon when the woman in the chain mail showed up http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif but my wife said that my dazed and confused look went away way too fast. She was talking about going home with Mac... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Origins Update
Columbus must be in another country or something. From DC it’s a six hour flight! I can fly to LA faster than that. Seriously, it only takes 7 hours to drive it, must not be much demand for flight from DC to Columbus. 3 hours or so and I was considering making a day trip of it, but 6 hours each way is not really doable..
They should move it to a city with good air conections, someplace like Atlanta. [ June 28, 2003, 13:37: Message edited by: Thermodyne ] |
Re: Origins Update
Thermo, too late now but your best bet probably would have been to drive to Baltimore and fly southwest. They have a hop twice a day, a one hour flight and less then 100 bucks each way.
Colmbus is actually quite well known among air travellers as a good airport because of the large number of flights to and from and the relativly low fares. I guess direct between Columbus and DC is kind of sparse, but there are a bunch of airports around DC that do have direct flights to Columbus. Geoschmo |
Re: Origins Update
BWI, yek. I checked Dulles, Washington National, and Hagerstown. BWI is just awful for flying out of. No way to get to it by subway, and it’s a 90 minute drive. Not to mention what they charge to park within two miles of the terminal. I hate that airport, but what can you expect when a state like Maryland runs it. The security is a *****, less than two hours early and you could miss your flight. Dulles has the same security, but it takes half the time. Dulles is the closest one for me, twenty minutes by car. National is about an hour, but I can take the subway and not worry about parking the car. Hagerstown is the best, It’s about an hour by car, the parking is free and security knows me. I almost had a friend talked into taking me in his 182, but the Columbus forecast was not good for today and we both have to be at work on Monday. 182’s are good planes, but they are not the plane to be in when you have to work the weather. To small to go through it and to slow to go around. Oh well, such is life when you wait to the Last second to plan a day trip. I’ll just have to wait for the Geo report http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Origins Update
LOL, The TSA! God save me from them. Being detained by a bunch of idiots who speak English as a second language is cruel and unusual punishment. They are really a pain in the butt.
It’s bad enough that I would set the detector off even if I was butt naked (Not to mention the mass blindness that would cause in the airport). I ran the battery down to zipp on my cell phone while waiting out a delay in Atlanta. They wouldn’t let me take it on the plane because it wouldn’t turn on, and my bags were already checked. Scratch one phone. I could take the Marc, but it would be about a two and a half hour ride if the connections were quick. BWI is on the Camden line and I’m on the Brunswick line. But I could walk to the train from my house. I don’t know about the Camden line, But there is little if any weekend service on the Brunswick side. And it’s all inbound in the AM and outbound in the PM. Then again I could drive to the subway and take it to DC then take the train to from DC to BWI and catch the plane. Hmmm....Sounds like a movie. I think it all comes down to not waiting until Friday to decide to make the trip. |
Re: Origins Update
I also found some good flights on UsAirways from Reagan to Columbus. One hour nonstop flight. With UsAirways like most airlines though it's all about buying early and staying a couple days. No way I know of to get a fare in the hundred dollar range for a Last minute one day trip except Southwest.

Re: Origins Update
I was thinking that I would find a flight on one of the commuter planes, but it looks like they
don’t do Columbus on the weekends. Two hours on a turbo prop is kinda of fun, the fly lower, so you get to see a lot more of the country side. |
Re: Origins Update
BTW, tell us the news Geo. Inquiring minds want to know what it was like. Will we get to see
your mug in the Saturday pixs? |
Re: Origins Update
Yeah, I went and met Richard and Tim. He hasn't posted the pic yet. I might have broken his camera. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
It was interesting. Lot's of people dressed up in costumes. More of that then I expected. Geoschmo [ June 29, 2003, 16:43: Message edited by: geoschmo ] |

A lot to be honest, if you know of a LARGE con that is related to what we put out let me know.
