It's the old adage... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

I would never buy a laptop so cheap that it came with Home Basic, tbh.

[VANGUARD]

Why would anyone use Windows 7 basic?

Seriously, not a lot of Descent news. Wiiware version appears to be the same, release date: 2012.

[Alieo]

Well, what about our fan-made missions? Any new missions for D2X-XL similar to Vignettes and The Enemy Within?

[Kaiaatzl]

Not as far as I know.  I'm working on one or two, very slowly, and I will enlist people for various roles (like voice acting!) when the time is right.

[Alieo]

OH! OH! OH! Duuuuuude... I do voices... SERIOUSLY! I can change my voice and mimic so many different accents and personalities... seriously!

[Kaiaatzl]

Well I haven't exactly written the script yet, and I don't know how many parts I need to write for...
All I really know right now is that in the big bad's levels he does an evil laugh whenever a robot maker activates.  And that all the characters (even the player character) will also have lines, and "discussions" in various areas.

But I will definitely characters with various accents.
Do you have a good-quality mic?

[Scyphi]

I was just about offer my voice (kind of always wanted to try voice acting, and have had some minor, past acting experience) but you got me at "good mic." Just got the built-in on my laptop.

As for Windows 7...been running it for a good year now. Have no complaints. Don't know what you folks are going on about it for, actually.

Other Windows versions I hear you on, though.

In other news, I got to use a Mac for the first time in what felt like years about a week ago. TOTALLY had forgotten how to use the darn things... 

[VANGUARD]

New descent levels, mods, music, about all the decent news we're going to get

[Scyphi]

There are the other Descent-like games in the works we could include on this, like Miner Wars and that other one somebody posted a thread about not so long ago whose name alludes me...but it really caught my eye, so...anyway, there's that.

[Alieo]

Yes, I'd love to hear about Miner Wars! What's their website?
