BZFlag goes Platinum

Posted by Zonk on from the you-don't-see-nearly-enough-tank-games-anymore dept.

morrison writes "A little over four years after moving to SourceForge at a current rate of several hundred downloads every day, BZFlag has finally "gone platinum". With over 1,000,000 SourceForge downloads, BZFlag looks to be the third game (following Tux Racer and StepMania) to go 'sf platinum'. While this doesn't include the many tens of thousands distributed prior to the project's migration to sf.net during the SGI days, it's a momentous occasion for open source gaming regardless."

    I could tell the exact moment when the story went live (I was looking at the subscriber preview), when an image suddenly stopped loading halfway through.

    With friends like Slashdot, who needs test load generators?

      > That's amazing.

      Have you ever felt the all mighty power of god within you, as if you where him, with the power to do anything, tranquilly floating in the everlasting, vibrant, stunning, spectacle of the universe, feelings of absolute pleasure, and total bliss enriching, and surrounding your every breath, while a million stunningly beautiful virgins pleasure you for eternity. No? Well you don't need to, because you've seen an image stop loading when it got slashdotted.
