Hey, consider this: you're currently the only active person who isn't a mod (at least not yet).

[Maxlaam]

I do feel special now...

I've been helping BGT making forms you have to fill in when adding a model/contraption to the database. It's a fun thing to spend your time while waiting for AA3 to release.

[BGTKing]

The lucky folks in the SSC chat are going to be the ones that get told.

[MP thrill rides]

Sorry I haven't been posting that much. I got my ipod taken away from me so now the only thing I can use is my PSP. No more AIM either.

[Maxlaam]

Why don't you have a PC then?

[BGTKing]

What happened to your iPod? Who took it away?

[acexxaced]

that sux mp im sorry. hey guys aim me!

[Maxlaam]

I can't stand Steam!

AA3 was released yesterday at 8PM for me, they managed to add another hour, so it was 9PM. Then when it started decrypting game files I suddenly had to start downloading again. Now this morning it says it is pre-loaded so I can't play it!

Worst of all, people said that it is buggy and laggy as hell. Graphics are bad and look old but still it gives huge amounts of FPS drops.

Gee why can't people just release a game that works the first time you download it.

[BGTKing]

It's a free game right? Hard to expect too much great quality from a free game.

[Maxlaam]

Because it is free doesn't mean the dev's don't get paid. The whole game is financed by the US army.

I got it to work now though, the Authentication servers are down, so there is no way you can play and save your stats. For the rest, really low FPS, which is weird, I play KF too and it uses the same engine. I hope they fix it so I can turn off anti-aliasing and lower my resolution, those are the real killers.

I finally got pissed off enough at iTunes to stop using it, and I'm very glad I did. It's horrible software...

[BGTKing]

It annoys the crap out of me by asking for updates seemingly once a week.

[LCAL]

The new 3.0 software for Ipod Touch/iPhone came out yesterday. Its really cool, but cost ten bucks to upgrade! Oh well :P

[BGTKing]

What new features does it add?

[The KNex Weasel]

Wow...I have three days to learn eight new songs for a gig I'm doing on Sunday (I got the music just now, in fact). Luckily, they aren't that hard.

A new searchlight page where if your on your home page, you can flick left to reveal a search engine to find emails,music,videos, etc. My favorite new feature is that you can download movies and tv shows from your WiFi music store app.

-sigh- Makes me happy

[MP thrill rides]

^Did they add the copy and paste feature to? I'm going to update mine once I get it back.

[BGTKing]

Thinking about letting the site be widely known tomorrow. Just need to finish up a few things first. Also, if you have completed models, be sure to upload them into the database: http://www.knexforum.com/knexmodels

[RCmaniac31]

Im thinking about making a home-made inground pool, and I need your guys's opinion. Im going to dig a huge hole which will probaby take the rest of the summer. put 5" of sand under it, ad a tarp or liner, then fill it with water... sound fun?

[Maxlaam]

Sounds fun, just cover it with something or you will be swimming in mud.

[BGTKing]

You'd probably need a building permit to do that. I don't think an ordinary tarp will keep mud and stuff from seeping in either.

[Maxlaam]

True true, also I just uploaded the first model to the database, Yay!

[The KNex Weasel]

I've uploaded all my ball towers not counting Komodo King, which I'll get to later.

[TripleHelix]

Hey guys, just got finished doing the whole avatar/sig thing.

So... I've been working on some more less-conventional coaster stuff, like stuff that would fit in these forums, so I might as well post it here when I get to it after I finish Poltergeist.

[coastercrazy10]

Hey weasel, how on EARTH do you pronounce your ball tower's name? And where did it come from? It's been killing me because I honestly have no idea what a ngneoeurerljefoasduf is.
