Deac Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Freespace: Silent Threat is the addon for The Great War. The sequel is just called Freespace 2. You can get one and two as a double pack now, in England anyway. I'm trying to find a copy of Silent Threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 The Freespace series is a offshoot of the Decent series, so sometimes you get more results looking for it that way. Here, I found a bookmark that might help: Freespace 2 I've seen it both in Best Buy and Wal-Mart recently, as jewel-case specials. It might be out of print right now. It's a GREAT game! Highly reccomended. I hope you find it. Good luck, pilot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor Bastard Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Yes, freespace 2 is a great game. If you're living in 1999, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zargon Posted February 3, 2002 Author Share Posted February 3, 2002 yeah............the link to buying it takes me to the volition store and its not for sale on it at all.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR2000Z Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Try rochnet.net, kazaa.com, or Ebay. (Kazaa = illegel-rific.) ...or try buying it 3 years ago like I did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor Bastard Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Oh look, it's Freespace 2 for sale! Buy hey, wait... It's February 2000 too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The classics are timeless. It's still better than most of the games that have been released since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyan Farlander Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Freespace 2 was indeed awsome. Too bad it didn't get the sales it deserved. You can thank Interplay for that blunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR2000Z Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Interplay got owned by Titus and then got sued. Got what they deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deac Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 I picked up FS1+2 double pack from Amazon.co.uk in october. Only took me a month. Nice bit of light relief from BG2. I didn't see it as outdated. The graphics were awesome (particularly the Sathanas in the Nebula) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Oh yeah! The graphics are still amazing by today's standards... Sure the cutscenes are StarCraft-ish in looks, but it's better than half of the lame-ass live-action ones I've seen lately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR2000Z Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 Thats a great gif Keyan. Since most of the people here are ***0ts anyway (thats the reason I dont really post here anymore) that thing really came usefull. Anyway, this may be sad, but at least it's funny. (Best thing I've seen all week.) (Edit: Damn censorship is too freaking smart.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deac Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 Classic games like that don't matter about graphics. For anybody who hasn't played the 1986 game Space Quest 1: The Sarien Encounter by Sierra, it has a text interface. It was the first game with graphics! And it's fine! Besides, XWA was 1999 and we're on an XWA site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold leader Posted February 7, 2002 Share Posted February 7, 2002 Originally posted by Jem I wonder how many Newtons was the impact force on that kid's face... Let's try this with some elementary mechanics... The guy makes 4 turns in approximately 3 seconds. That would make his angular velocity 4 (turns) * 2pi (radians per turn) / 3 (seconds) = 8.38 rad/s The velocity of his foot then becomes (see picture): angular velocity * length of the leg = 8.38 (rad/s) * ±0.75 (m) = ± 6.28 m/s. Let's say the kid has a velocity of 1 m/s, so the relative velocity v becomes (when the velocity vectors are on the same line on the moment of impact) 6.28 + 1 = 7.28 Newton's second law states F = d/dt (m * v), or in the more familiar version, F = m * a (when m = constant). Having a finite time difference, we can use Newton's second to formulate: m * v = F * dt The product m * v is known as the momentum and F * dt as the impulse. Suppose now that the impact mass of the foot + part of the leg is equal to 10 kg, the impuls becomes 10 * 7.28 = 72.8 kg*m/s The duration of the impact is hard to estimate. Let's just take 0.3 seconds. The impact force becomes: F = (m * v)/dt = 62.8/0.3 = 243 N This is just a quick estimate, which differs a great deal from the real impact force. In reality, the impact mass and time will be different. Moreover, the angular velocity and thus the impact force will vary over time, because of the nature of the impact and the dancer feeling he's hitting something/someone. And yes, I know I can be put away for these sort of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted February 7, 2002 Share Posted February 7, 2002 Hey, that's funny!! hheehehehe I saw something like that in real life, this little kid was outside our car door, my dad was talking to someone about a house we were supposed to find, and his brother comes speeding down with his bike, and slams the kid in the hiead with the HANDLEBAR!!!!!! I was trying VERY hard not to laugh me head off. I had a similar thing happen to me while playing basketball. Someone didn't see me, and slammed the basketball right at my face, it hit my nose, and i made some blood puddles all over the court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
