Congratulations from a former dev!
« on: December 30, 2010, 04:39:13 am »

Just wanted to give a big congrats to the dev team on the mod.  I've run into a few of you guys while playing, but figured I'd post here as well.

I don't know if anyone around would remember me or not, maybe Basstronix.  Anyway, I did a brief stint on the mod back around 2006-2007 (whenever Nickster was the lead developer) as GE-dDG-007 or something to that effect.  Since then I'd joined the navy and all but forgotten about this until it randomly popped into my head a couple days ago.  Lo and behold, you guys knocked it waaaay the hell out of the park!  The gameplay, the music, the atmosphere, everything!  A quantum leap from where it was when I was around.

Bravo, once again.  Definitely going to be getting all of my old friends together to play the hell out of this.

Nice! Yeah but as I mentioned in game, I think your time on the team was more like 2005-mid 2006.

Anyways good to see you around and kicking, and loving the mod :D

It mus have been.  Man, that's so crazy.  It doesn't feel that long ago at all.  Hell, I still remember Basstronix sending me the first draft of his remix of the facility theme and I recommended that he put in that infamous GONG sound, so he went in to the game and sampled it straight off of the track, haha.  Good times.

@Vincent:  Well, about that, the navy doesn't really take too kindly to you walking about their warships snapping hi-res pictures of stuff.  Go figure.  Plus, I'm on a sub anyway, so if you want a bunch of pictures of wood paneling and seafoam green paint, I can probably get that for you, but you could probably just go to any house built in the '70s and get the exact same thing.

@killermonkey:  Yeah, I don't remember you either.  I remember Enzo.Matrix and InvertedShadow and Basstronix... and that's about it.  I was only on for a little while, assigned to the Runway if I remember correctly.  Got into a tiff with a guy who is also no longer on the team about a map he was doing because he was using like... stock hl2 textures or something like that and Nickster decided to kick me off the team. *shrug*

Coast Tards, eh?  Suuuure.  You know your job's bullshit when you 'get deployed' and you can still see your house. ;)

On a real note, the Navy runs like a well oiled machine...

...that someone dumped a bunch of sand and other bullshit in, fuck.  But I'm managing just fine.  Here's a hint of our command climate right now though, some dude chopped his toe off just to get out.  Deliberately. Chopped. His. Toe. Off.

Ya, this all rings a few bells.  It was before we had the balls to say no BS and command with better leadership.

That sounds like about as apt a way as I can think to describe it.  You guys clearly got your shit together in that respect, though.
