    I'm gonna find this game somewhere, even if I have to get a virus in the process.
  • AprecheApreche
    Alright everybody. New plan.

    http://legendsthegame.net.nyud.net:8080/

    Get that game and start practicing. I'll try to setup and server this week, and I'll put instructions here on how to connect to it.

    I take it there is no Mac client for this game?

    A bit unusual for multi-platform games.
  • AprecheApreche
    I didn't even look when I posted this. After quickly surveying their website, there does not appear to be a Mac client. I guess it doesn't matter. Tribes 2 didn't have a Mac version either AFAIK. I suggest you install Linux on your Mac :)

    Suggestions as to what kind, and possible a link to a guide?

    And I find it amusing that I might be installing Linux to play games.

    The Linux version is binary only right? In that case, make sure you have an x86 mac before installing Linux or it won't do much good ;p
  • AprecheApreche
    Is it realy binary only? I emerged it on Gentoo and it looked like it was compiling something. I didn't pay very much attention though.
  • JameskunJameskun
    I don't know, hence the '?' I grabbed the torrent but it doesn't seem to be downloading yet, I will have to see why after work
  • JameskunJameskun
    Looking more into their site, it does say that it is built on the Torque gaming engine, which claims Mac OS 9/X server and client support. I will have to check into this further later ^_^

    Nobody's playing this game! I've only seen 4 people other than me. :( .

    Oh, and Pilitus, do you have a PPC Mac or an Intel Mac? From what I've seen it's harder to install Linux on the Mactels for now. Anyway, I think Scrym will agree with me when I suggest you use Ubuntu Linux. This guide seems helpful for installation help.

    And just one more thing (I feel like Steve Jobs!), Rym and Scott, how about a Linux episode? You guys would make Linux so much easier to explain to people.

    EDIT: Installation guide here. The above link doesn't include installation.

    From my estimates we've talked about Linux 4 or 5 times on the show already. It would be hard to do just a general Linux show. Tell us what you want us to say about Linux and we'll do it. Do you want to know the difference between different distributions? Do you want to know the history of Linux? Do you want to know about how Linux works? Do you want to know who should use Linux and how? We just need some direction. If the only topic we have is "Linux" the show will be too long.
  • AndrewAndrew
    Pro's and Con's of distros would be nice as well as Linux v. Other OS systems for like certain performances (i.e gaming, programming, networking, ect).
  • trogdor9trogdor9
    I know you've already talked about Linux, but not really the kind of episode I was looking for.

    Ok, here's what I was thinking: Getting started with Linux--Choosing a distribution, installing, etc. And then maybe a how to use Linux episode. Maybe even a series if you guys think you are up to it.

    I'm going to forever remember this as "the time Scott freaked out over a game".

    I'm also waiting for some actual playing of Tribes 2 to happen as a result of this.

  • canine224canine224
    Somehow it makes sense for Scott to be the one to post about it first.

    It is truly a glorious age. Hopefully.
  • SuperPichuSuperPichu
    I installed it. It surprisingly runs fine on Windows 10
  • PeguPegu
    You don't even need compatibility mode? That is surprising.
  • AprecheApreche
    How did you install it? It's an iso, so I don't really want to burn it to a CD.
  • PeguPegu
    Use this.

    Windows 8+ can just mount iso's
