Evasive Maneuvers? What's that...? I've heard susurrous rumours of Marvel Heros or Zatoichi...but ne'er any word on this "EM" of which you speak. |

Note quite. Chunk > Picard. But I still think Picard is cooler. As for the runtime, yeah, it's a rather short movie. But fun. As I recall, the umbrella scene was particularly good. |

Well, Haruhi > all, so it makes no difference anyway. Heh, never thought I'd see the day when the Norris would be dethroned. |

Hm tough decision, but i think ill have to go with Evasive Maneuvers on this one, just wondering, would you have voted Forces if you hadnt created EM? |

Sorry to burst you bubble Freakman, but I didn't create EM. Haruhi did. She created everything. All hail the Hism. BooooooooooN!  . |

That IS a very tough choice. Even though I was very impressed with the gameplay and polished look of EM, I'm gonna go for Forces simply because it's so addictive (whereas EM isn't because it requires 2 players and I never found a partner  ) |

And I believe this is the home page: http://www.compsci.ca/wiki/index.php?title=Evasive_Maneuvers |

Technically that isn't the home page, but it's the only page containing useful information about it. Memories... |

Well I see that... but is there an official home page? Because if not, I'd have to argue that that link is the best place for someone to go to read about and get EM.Memories... |

Forces, definatly. EM takes too long to get into. |

Yep. Two words: feature creep. Anyone who has played the beta versions of EM (out of everyone here, probably just Martin and myself) can tell you it was alot more fun back then. More fun than Forces? Can't really say. |

Wow! EM is very similar to a game i thought of in grade 3, and actually made in grade 8 in Click and Create (If anyone knows that ancient thing.... it's now called the Games Factory) *sigh* memories. |

Don mean to be a total joykill, but you think you'd post links to the two games in question along with the poll. Either getting one sided votes, random votes or no votes at all. I shall wait until i can try them both until I make my decision 
These games were before my time |

Searching will find you both programs. Well... except maybe EM... that takes a bit more looking. |

Is the blog theme supposed to look that way, or is it just me? (referring to the right border) |

it appears to look alright on my end, so I'm gonna go with yes - that's a feature |

Hmmm... Mr. Reid's class eh? I used to have him as a teacher, him and Mr. Devlin. Too bad it's turing though; C/C++ and sdl would have allowed me to play it |

Too bad it's turing though; C/C++ and sdl would have allowed me to play it Hehe, Mr. Reid didn't do anything  I asked him for help a few times, and he just looked at me like a cow does at an oncoming train and said "i don't know, want to look in one of these books?"
lol but he's a good teacher. Anyways, Forces is compiled... but if you have Linux or a Mac, i can see your problem. Dual-boot? |

Aha! indeed! Last year, infact, was the last year Bell had Pascal. I wrote a 3D spaceshooter, believe it or not. 20 FPS on 30 mhtz Mac. Anyways, i remember some of those. His double-click game, his horse-racing game, aha. He says he still has them, actually, on some external hard drive. I have to say, Turing really is an improvement over Pascal. |
