>all I have ever cared (heck, even known) to be remotely important was Apollo 11 and Apollo 13.
yap, the first one, and the one which failed. probably the only missions most people can think of, cos they were the more spectacular missions.
but the real missions were the later ones. like 16 & 17 with over 70h time on the lunar surface. they grew much more confident with what they can and cant do on the moon in the later missions.
blender. one hand on the mouse, the other one on the keyboard. fastest and easiest modelling ever. it just plain rocks.
im currently using it with a simple self-written python script to export meshes (with animation) and load them in my opengl app. for free.
never saw an easier and faster interface (if you get used to it) in any other package.
i think im using it since version 1.25. sometime 1998 or something. and the original manual is a treasure:) hey i even had bought a C-key! and when they went broke, i got the tutorial book #1 for free, with the cd. mr basic et al.
:) modded funny? this wasnt meant to be funny. why isnt there a moderation "frightening". this was intended more like "hey kids, dont try this at home":)
not sure if it was one of the Wing Commander or Privateer games. I think it was Privateer 2 where they put up a fake ad for a "System Shock Movie" in the Manual.
Well. Or I just imagined it, as i was pretty shocked at that time.:)

1 of approx. 80^6 germans likes it that "Deutsche Telekom AG employees are the biggest users of Linux".

>Apparently it's a character-building experience though.
yup. for those who cant build them by themselves.
damn. got me. me want tablet too. me want go outside. me want balloon! :)
hugh? why? its a right-handed coordinate system. why inverting z without transforming the other dimensions?

not really. new theory sees it ripping itself apart. maybe. :)
>She's got a name. Natalie.

+1 insightful, if i could.
im not sure *why* i dont know if i should mod the first post funny or overrated.
someone enlighten me please.
hmm. i know it like this:
"there are three kinds of mathematicians. those who can count, and those who dont."
Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over. :)
*eek* you talking about monoliths and having a sig "daves back!". please! dont do it dave! *shiver*
did i say extraterr. *body*? damn. :)
now correct me if im wrong (too lazy to google):
.)
taking the moon, venus and mars, this would be (only) the 4th extraterrestrial body we land a probe on. if huygens succeeds.
aah. now get me as stunning results as the mars rovers did. and launch the JIMO.
maybe were really "sending probes out here since the 70s and then suddenly everything goes whacko" . well. except the monolith.
nice. some info about Titan, and Saturn itself at Solarviews.
:P
might be interesting. maybe i can finally do my extraterrestrial beerbrewing there.

Somebody got these Manuals to look it up?
>and xerxes started talking.
... in dark corners ... *shiver*

this pissed me too. really a bit like HAL. "sorry hacker, i cant do that. this conversation is over."
>a zombie was beating the piss out of me, doing those creepy groans.
for me thats be best thing in the game. monster jumping at you without notice. and these spiders
why do you resist the many? argh.
i always liked the music, of both shock1 & 2, for the overall atmosphere.
theres a nice compilation of Shock1 and Shock2. The TTLG Jukebox. Still rocks.
and remember to salt the fries!
dont forget your logic probes. might help. :)
