Renegade, Don't think of it as 'Evil'. but rather just some encouraging news. If I have an alpha copy of se5, then that means the Beta is getting closer and that in turn means that all the drooling fans (like yourself) will be getting their hands on the final Version soon enough.

On second thought, it WAS evil, I'm EVIL,.. Muahahahahahaha!

Cheers!
Hmmm, good point(s). At least we now know it's all coming along well.

Sure thing Narf. But there is a small problem: Canadian or American dollars? Since there is no such thing as a "dollar" without a national adjective, this currency does not exist; therefore, your wish has been cancelled, and the Genie has gone back to the bottle.

This was a friendly message brought to you by the Association for Productive Nitpicking, ie "How to avoid fulfilling problematic wishes".

OK, while we're on the topic of SE5, then, David...

Have you tried running it under wine on Linux yet? I'm thinking my next PC will be a Linux box but I *really* don't want to miss out on SE5! Even the 2D mode would be good enough for me as long as it works to some degree...

Rubber hammers? A novel idea! *Snickers as the hammers fail to harm his crystalline-powered personal shields, and glowers at Narf just to keep that good habit*

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to mention they are 200-ton rubber hammers.

DirectX 8 will run on Linux with Cedega (a variant of wine), but not yet DirectX 9. Does SE5 require DirectX 9?

It still does not work Narf. See, even the Ripper Beam deals a meagre 2 damage points per kt (or so, I do not recall the exact figure), while my Crystalline shielding armour effectively protects me against attacks dealing 149 damage points or less, all weapons taken one after the other.

So even if your hammers were as effective as a good old-fashioned Ripper Beam, they would deal 0.4 damage point, which is definitively less than enough to break my shields. High numbers of hammers will not help; you would need much more powerful ones to bring me down (not metaphorically speaking unfortunately).

If you believe the above explanation bends logic and maths, you are quite right.
