<div class="IPBDescription">Yea, where can I get it?</div> Maybe it's the fact I live in the midwest but I have never seen this game on sale before, maybe I'm just not observant. I played the demo and I demand more!!! Someone please tell me where I could purchase it, online or off.

Personaly, I pre-orderd it when it came out, it was what got me into FPS. I saw it reviewed on a TV show (Cybernet) and thought that looks cool and my mum gave me it for my birthday.
Oh anyone know why I cant turn EAX on in game I mean I wont to be surounded by Shodan, so I feel the fear.
^_^
But as noted, TRY to find a copy. There've been rumors like mad that SS3 will be coming out (sometime... it's the same rumors as HL2 used to have), possibly codenamed Troika. There was at one point a concept trailer, but I think that got nuked when Looking Glass went out of business. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
On another note, does anyone know if the HL2 SDK is available yet? Even if Troika doesn't make it soon, it'd be a good challenge to write a HL2:Shodan's Return SP TC-mod, integrating a lot of the scarier ideas which were submitted and rejected as being too intense.
(Un)Fortunatly it has shock 1 bundled with it and costs $60

I'v already got Creative 4.1 suround sound speakers (you can hear the diffrence from the ones that came with the PC) and a Creative 5.1 Soundblaster Live. But the dam option isnt available.
I'm gonna get a few friends round to watch, open the window to cool this oven down, close the blinds (blackout material inside <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> ) and move tthe toilet in with pading on it.
Oh I smited that spider after like an hour or 2 of hunting it. It stood still for too long and got owned by my CD case.
Still those rumors about SS3 have been around for 2 months now and i'v also heard troika will be involved.
*Prays Source Engine is Used*
I want to blow the ship/station/location apart.
And SS2 was out before most soundcards offered surround. You have to force it on in the OS, routing 2-speaker sound through both front and back. Doesn't give the *full* positional effect, but you don't need it when you're enveloped in the phrase
'<span style='color:yellow'>*I AM SHODAN.*</span>'
It's like a freaking tidal wave, especially with the circumstances involved. And yes... blackout curtains and a projector if you can.
System Shock 2 did not scare me once. I mean there was an atmosphere but at no time did I wish to stop and collect myself for a few seconds.
Perhaps this was because of my reliance on firearms over PSI powers (I was a Marine)
And yes I did play it with the lights off and the sound up (With good quality headphones)
However this quote probanly sums it up.

Nope, in a dev chat before the realase he said he had set his PC up with suround sound and that he would sweep stuff of the desk in a fit of panic. You should be able to dl the interview somewhere.
The last time I visited the place there were about six copies left. If you _must_ have the <b>original</b> version, try there. They can send products through mail to all over europe and perhaps over seas. You can find the necessary contact info from <a href='http://www.akateeminen.com/fin/myymalat/myymalat_helsinki.asp' target='_blank'>here</a> The right department is Micronia. And yes, they might even speak english <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Oh, and EB was out. The demo rocks. My friend <I'm a grammar nazi, i had a plural with the wrong form of to want...actually, I'm just a perfectionist and don't know enough grammar to fix anything>wants to know if you would rate the thief engine as better than the half-life engine.
