<div class="IPBDescription">Talk back here</div>I'm not sure there's too much to discuss about the latest <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/blog/" target="_blank">blog</a> entry by yours truly, but who am I to break tradition, especially on a day that's so steeped in tradition (at least in America)?

Comprox · November 2006

Updated RR to accept direct links from uwe.com as well (your link to the download was being rejected due to anti-leech <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />)

Good to know the man, but you need more than a webcam picture on the team page!

One of the devs on AusNS was ranting and raving about you max, telling us all of your amazing talent etc etc... How far are you guys into the game?

Nice read.

Everyone go check out the FiringSquad interview Maxx linked- I had no idea it existed and confirms:

- Source engine
- Bots
- Valve offer to sell it on Steam
- Siege support (********)

I can't figure out whether this is at all bad or if not a good thing.

Flayra · November 2006

Great blog entry Max! It's great of you to introduce yourself in such a classy way.

I actually didn't know how much you liked working on NS originally...I thought the fact that you were going to be able to spend all your time working on ******* *********** was the real draw for you to drop your profitable and stable career to come work on NS!

I hope we accomplish great things. Welcome!

DiCola · November 2006

So, you're the man I should thank about my personal favorite gameplay changes and bugfixes in NS throughout it's history. \o/

A thousand props to you, Amen.

Max had this odd habit of hanging around with the CM/PT/Vets in the testing channel during 2.1/3.0 Development and answering our incessant questions. And seeing he's at least indirectly the reason I ultimately became one of the NS Devs, I submit, for your enjoyment a selection of quotations from my logs:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><maxwell> I think you're confusing me with flayra
<maxwell> he's the one with no hair</div>
This was during the massive Lerk Flight Changes that went in (at one point you could flip upside down and sort-of fly that way):
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><maxwell> we're adding a third wing onto the lerk so he can fly in circles more easily</div>
Before the Handgrenade went in, we knew there was a feature coming, but we weren't allowed to know what it was yet. After about the 10,000th person asked, this was the response we started to receive:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><maxwell> there's going to be a 3rd race of robot pirates</div>
And about 4 days later and 10,000 more questions about when the new build and feature were going to be tested:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><maxwell_> just have to finish up the robotic pirates</div>
And I know many of you have seen this, but the second response is usually left out (backstory: at one point there was a build where killing Eggs crashed the server):
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><maxwell> if you kill 50 eggs it unlocks the flamethrower
<TyrNemesis^> max OMG REALLY
<maxwell> it's the cool hand luke cheat</div>

max sounds liek a great bloke, i guess i just gotta get used to the lurk again, or keep to sneaking dead silently as a 4 ton rhino a invisable wall of teeth ready to snatch passing by marines
