Another Descent could be so good (the whole idea of Descent has so much potential, in my mind, especially with all of the technology advances in games), or it could be a huge embarrassing failure; it depends on why they make it--I'd bet a lot that Descent was not conceptualized from a standpoint of ...

PXO Troubles

A relatively short while ago the PXO site and rankings went down. After a while the site came back up, but the rankings have remained down. This morning I tried to restart my PXO server, which I had left running overnight, and it gave me an error which I believe is caused by an inability to reach PX...

I was able to get the buttons on the controller to work by updating my Descent2 for Win95 to v1.2, but the hat switch, which is configured for sliding, is extremely slugish and can only be used to move in 4 directions (no angles).

Another reason Descent is better than any Ground Pounder

While thinking on the subject of Descent today, I had an important realisation. Descent is the perfect alternative to all of these ground pounders that are so prevelant!

You can try to argue it any way you like, but if a MAC MLer's ship doesn't conform to the standard D3 ships physics, it is cheating (perhaps, in some cases, not conciously), in my opinion, and ...
