I'd love to see Muse in concert but they're not going to die of old age any time soon. Honestly there are no older bands I'm waiting for.

No, it seemed to me like they ran out of time and had to wrap the series up somehow.

Archaeology means you have to be really careful when you try to merge fiction with fact. The kind of stuff they left behind, they may as well have landed the Galactica in Turkey and called it the Ark.

I wish Bryce did procedural textures and environments better. Terragen is making it look really ugly now.

It's a good start. I see CAD does boolean cuts more cleanly than the other programs out there.

The Descent community isn't a good yardstick, given that it was smaller to begin with, the last release is older, and there are zero competitive leagues left compared to Mechwarrior's (barely) two.

Good luck on getting Bryce's procedural textures to do what you want. I used it for a few years and still have to wrestle with it.
