20:21 <+ hellc9943>| usm99 texted me in game | |
20:21 < EM1O>| used a color tv tuned to ch 3 for vid | |
20:22 <+ bacon_work>| Wait, I thoght he quit playing becasue of all the haxors... :P | |
20:22 <+shosca> and before that, i had a c64 | |
20:22 <+shosca> with the tape reader | |
20:22 * bacon_work high fives shosca | |
20:22 <+ bacon_work>| I had the exact same thing. First machine my family bought was a vic 20 | |
20:22 < EM1O>| CoCo2 same as c64, except used 512kB floppy | |
20:23 <+shosca> you had to do adjustment to the tape reader so that it would read properly | |
20:23 < EM1O>| tape was avail, but HUGE pita | |
20:23 * bacon_work went through multiple 1541 drives | |
20:23 <+shosca> heh, that disk drive was more expensive than the computer itself | |

20:24 <+shosca> and at school we had amstrads | |
20:24 < EM1O>| 9600baud phonecradle netlink | |
20:24 <+ bacon_work>| Commodores' big mistake with those drives was having the power supply inside the case and attached to the main board. They tended to cook themselves | |
20:25 <+ bacon_work>| Grade shcool had TSR 80's and Apple 2's | |
20:25 <+shosca> yep, man i was so excited when i got that floppy drive | |
20:25 < EM1O>| 5 1/2 inch monster | |
20:26 <+shosca> then the amiga 500's came out, it was soo good | |
20:26 * bacon_work lusted over the Lt. kernel hard drives for the c64 | |
20:26 < EM1O>| kept the tandy coco2 until my wife got me a compaq with (ugh) win98 in 1999 | |

20:28 < EM1O>| it was | |
20:28 * bacon_work has a working vic 20 and a500 stored in the garage | |
20:29 <+shosca> i always wanted an a500 | |
20:29 < EM1O>| took the coco2 to the thrift store: "No". guy on the phone at hock shop said, "what??? | |
20:29 < EM1O>| i suppose i violated some obscure EPA law at the landfill. o well | |

20:42 < USM999>| I told everyone that HAWKEN IS GOING OUT OF BUSINESS. | |
20:42 <+ bacon_work>| Got a news article saying that ADH is gone? | |

20:42 < USM999>| It's only a matter of time dude. | |
20:42 <@ Ashfire908>| forums are down | |
20:42 < USM999>| Look at the steam forums. | |
20:42 <+ bacon_work>| Speculation then | |
20:42 < USM999>| The steam forums are still up. | |
20:43 <+ bacon_work>| I won't argue that it's looking like that, because it does | |
20:43 < USM999>| Everyone is RAGING and they are finally accepting the fact about everything I had said. | |
20:43 <+ bacon_work>| but until I see offical word, it's speculation | |

20:43 < USM999>| August 10,1024 | |
20:43 < USM999>| It doesn't take a genius to see a sinking ship. | |
20:43 < hyginos_>| USM999 does it bother you at all that you're practically a meme around here? | |
20:44 <@ Ashfire908>| 'look a the steam forums' | |
20:44 <@ Ashfire908>| ok | |
20:44 <@ Ashfire908>| they are grey and blue. | |
20:44 < USM999>| Idiot look at the community forums for Hawken. | |
20:44 * bacon_work rather likes the current steam colour scheme | |
20:44 < hyginos_>| usm999 nothing new is going on. nothing has changed. | |
20:45 <+ bacon_work>| They are down, and have been down for a while, you are a day behind in the news | |
20:45 < USM999>| http://steamcommunity.com/app/271290/discussions/ | |
20:45 < USM999>| Here genius learn how to read. | |
20:45 < USM999>| Anyways | |
20:45 <+ bacon_work>| and, let me point this out, *no official word* as to why | |
20:45 <@ Saturnine>| I think this is the universe punishing me for not being patient for the gigabyte. | |
20:45 < hyginos_>| Saturnine what? | |
20:45 <@ Ashfire908>| Saturnine, how dare you | |
20:45 <+ bacon_work>| More problems S9? | |
20:45 <@ Saturnine>| haha, nono | |
20:46 < USM999>| Bombs go boom,water is wet and the sky is blue. | |
20:46 < hyginos_>| whater you on aobut? | |
20:46 < USM999>| Obvious fact is obvious. | |
20:46 < hyginos_>| obvious fool is obvious. | |
20:46 <@ Saturnine>| I thought it was 'Sun shines, grass grows, birds fly, and brother I hurt people'? | |
20:46 <@ Ashfire908>| !grab hyginos_ | |
20:46 <@ Laila>| Ok. | |
20:46 < USM999>| Even if Hawken is back up. It is a major blow to the company's reputation. | |
20:46 < hyginos_>| pope is catholic, bears shit in the woods. | |
20:46 <@ Saturnine>| 'back' | |
20:46 <@ Saturnine>| When did it go down? | |
20:47 <@ Ashfire908>| 'major blow' | |
20:47 <@ Saturnine>| 'blow' | |
20:47 < hyginos_>| to all 50 people who know whaty ADH and MTR are? | |
20:47 < USM999>| I find it odd that Hawken received $10 million in capital and they struggle to keep this game running? | |
20:47 <@ Ashfire908>| I think the server issues are bigger than the community forums in terms of reputation | |
20:47 < hyginos_>| i'm sure their confidenc is shaken. | |
20:47 <@ Saturnine>| What percentage, would you say, of people who play Hawken care even in the slightest that a forum even exists? | |
20:47 < hyginos_>| usm999 not at all | |
20:47 < hyginos_>| that happens all the time. | |
20:47 <@ Saturnine>| Again, when was there ever a problem with keeping the game running? | |
20:47 < USM999>| Only those without a brain. *AHEM* | |
20:48 < USM999>| You people are exactly what's wrong with this game community. | |

20:52 <+ bacon_work>| Why do these people who claim to have quit playing and not care about the game keep posting | |
