----------------------------------- Mr. T Tue Jul 25, 2006 6:53 am Forces vs. Evasive Maneuvers ----------------------------------- vote.. ----------------------------------- Delos Tue Jul 25, 2006 9:07 am ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Mazer Tue Jul 25, 2006 9:21 am ----------------------------------- Evasive Maneuvers... that's like... I remember Captain Janeway saying something about it in an ep of Star Trek Voyager. ----------------------------------- Delos Tue Jul 25, 2006 9:50 am ----------------------------------- Janeway!? Bah, Picard 4tW! ----------------------------------- Mazer Tue Jul 25, 2006 10:10 am ----------------------------------- I know, I know. Just remembered though... [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0431044/]Evasive Maneuvers ----------------------------------- Cervantes Tue Jul 25, 2006 11:35 am ----------------------------------- Runtime: 14 min And yes, Picard > all. ----------------------------------- Mazer Tue Jul 25, 2006 12:28 pm ----------------------------------- Note quite. Chunk > Picard. But I still think Picard is cooler. As for the runtime, yeah, it's a rather short [url=http://evasivemaneuvers.dastolidigital.com/]movie. But fun. As I recall, the umbrella scene was particularly good. ----------------------------------- Delos Tue Jul 25, 2006 1:19 pm ----------------------------------- Well, Haruhi > all, so it makes no difference anyway. Heh, never thought I'd see the day when the Norris would be dethroned. ----------------------------------- Clayton Wed Jul 26, 2006 7:18 pm ----------------------------------- 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? ----------------------------------- Delos Wed Jul 26, 2006 8:50 pm ----------------------------------- 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! :lol:. ----------------------------------- Mazer Wed Jul 26, 2006 9:26 pm ----------------------------------- 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? Actually, I did vote for Forces. ----------------------------------- NikG Wed Jul 26, 2006 10:28 pm ----------------------------------- 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 :() ----------------------------------- Windsurfer Thu Jul 27, 2006 9:31 pm Evasive Maneuvers? ----------------------------------- As you may notice, i'm new here... so, i must ask, where is Evasive Maneuvers?? i've done a search for it, but i can't find it. I would REALLY like to play it :lol: Can someone help me out? ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Thu Jul 27, 2006 9:34 pm ----------------------------------- Zatoichi! ----------------------------------- Windsurfer Thu Jul 27, 2006 9:51 pm ----------------------------------- That helps a lot. Thanks. (no, actually, i looked through 7 of the 10 pages of that post, all i can see are screenshots... where's the game?) ----------------------------------- rdrake Thu Jul 27, 2006 10:05 pm ----------------------------------- That helps a lot. Thanks. (no, actually, i looked through 7 of the 10 pages of that post, all i can see are screenshots... where's the game?)Try [url=http://users.mnsi.net/~mdss/Evasive_Maneuvers.zip]here. ----------------------------------- NikG Thu Jul 27, 2006 10:42 pm ----------------------------------- And I believe this is the home page: http://www.compsci.ca/wiki/index.php?title=Evasive_Maneuvers ----------------------------------- Mazer Fri Jul 28, 2006 9:52 am ----------------------------------- Technically that isn't the home page, but it's the only page containing useful information about it. Memories... ----------------------------------- NikG Fri Jul 28, 2006 1:57 pm ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Clayton Sat Jul 29, 2006 8:25 am ----------------------------------- 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! :lol:. I was directing that at Mazer, i thought i typed his name in there somewhere... oh well :D ----------------------------------- scytheblades Sat Jul 29, 2006 9:45 pm ----------------------------------- Forces, definatly. EM takes too long to get into. ----------------------------------- Mazer Sun Jul 30, 2006 8:33 am ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Windsurfer Sun Jul 30, 2006 3:10 pm ----------------------------------- 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. :lol: ----------------------------------- Remm Fri Aug 04, 2006 12:05 am ----------------------------------- 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 :D ----------------------------------- md Fri Aug 04, 2006 12:24 am ----------------------------------- Searching will find you both programs. Well... except maybe EM... that takes a bit more looking. ----------------------------------- Tony Fri Aug 04, 2006 12:25 am ----------------------------------- you think you'd post links to the two games in question http://compsci.ca/blog/archives/11 ----------------------------------- Mazer Fri Aug 04, 2006 3:44 am ----------------------------------- Is the blog theme supposed to look that way, or is it just me? (referring to the right border) ----------------------------------- Tony Fri Aug 04, 2006 9:34 am ----------------------------------- it appears to look alright on my end, so I'm gonna go with yes - that's a feature ----------------------------------- md Fri Aug 04, 2006 10:47 am ----------------------------------- 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 :( ----------------------------------- Windsurfer Sat Aug 05, 2006 11:30 am ----------------------------------- 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 :( Hehe, Mr. Reid didn't do anything :P 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? ----------------------------------- md Sat Aug 05, 2006 6:59 pm ----------------------------------- Ask Mr. Reid about some of the programs he wrote in Pascal on macs... those were the days... ;) ----------------------------------- Windsurfer Sat Aug 05, 2006 7:18 pm ----------------------------------- Ask Mr. Reid about some of the programs he wrote in Pascal on macs... those were the days... ;) 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.
