Re: Trying out Apex...
I don't think I'd even know how to play a shooter anymore. :P

Re: Epic Games Store
The UT collaboration is essentially dead, Epic has pulled all of its staff off it. They're all working on Fortnite probably.
The Epic Store is pretty barebones right now, but it will be useful for Steam to have another competitor.

Re: Starseige Tribes 20th Anniversary Event
Weirdo. :P
Awhile back I tossed out all of my old game boxes and Tribes was one of the few I kept. It still has the price tag on it--$54.99. The store I bought it from has been gone for probably 15 years.

Re: Starseige Tribes 20th Anniversary Event
That makes me feel old. I had a full head of hair and a beard 20 years ago. And none of it had turned gray yet. :P
In retrospect the affair with Tribes ended up being intense, but ultimately (somewhat) short-lived. It had pretty much evaporated by the time Tribes: Vengeance (remember that?) came out.

Re: It's like 1999 all over again
I'd really like to get the old database back up and running. It feels like the history of QB/MC is locked away.
But really, Facebook and other social media have more or less killed most forums.

I admit I haven't been on here for months, but the issues the board had been experiencing have been fixed. Hooray.

Re: It's like 1999 all over again
I officially own quirkybastards.com again. I'm not promising anything, just saying.

Re: It's like 1999 all over again
QuirkyB's sounds like either a youth-oriented rap group or a dubious family restaurant chain.
Point taken about abbreviating to QB, though.

Re: It's like 1999 all over again
I really am not a fan of the current incarnation of phpBB. It's free and...that's its biggest asset. That said, I dislike vBulletin, which is most definitely not free, even more. Therefore I am going to devote time over the upcoming winter break to get Xenforo working with the old database. This wil...

Re: New WoW Announcements
I'm really not sure how I feel about most of these things, though if the vanilla servers are truly vanilla, I think they'll see a surge of popularity up front then a massive drop-off a month or two later, because vanilla WoW was good, relatively speaking at the time, but it's pretty bad in most ways...

No, I'm not talking about the US election last year.

Re: Blizzard Groups
Yeah, the whole reason we moved away from Quirky Bastards to begin with is because so many places would either censor or forbid the name. It just wasn't worth the hassle for a gaming group. If you're going for short, QB would do, otherwise I'd vote Martian Cartel. Most people (even in QB/MC) may not...

Re: It's like 1999 all over again
By the by, if you keep in touch with other Martians/QBs. let them know there is a forum once again.
If there's sufficient interest I will once again attempt to go mad by trying to revive the old database.

It's like 1999 all over again
Yes, phpBB, just like I used back when people still had 3dfx video cards.
We'll see what sort of activity we get before I look into trying to restore all of the old posts again. I know everyone is eager to relive the memory of me banning pogo all over again.
EDIT: And no smilies, for now. >:)
