lol! I would infraction him for you but these forums are wonky and I am too old to relearn how to mod properly. So here is a flick :foreheadflick: for you Eric and WELCOME BACK!

ah, the fong :smiley: nice necro

Ayyyyeee first time Ive logged in in about 7 years I reckon, what a blast from the past flicking through this thread. Hard to believe Ive been following this mod for nearly 15 years now, what a privilege to be able to play it in its final complete form, even if never in my wildest nightmares would I have thought it would take this long. I remember way back in the day the projected release date was for sometime in 2008 and I thought to myself “fucking hell theres no way I can wait that long, ill be 18 by then! Ill be old!” Here I am now pushing 30. How time flies.

Mate we are old as hell now.

This team started in 2005. NOW how old do you feel? hahah! I dont even know if any of the original members are still around.

all the way back in 2004 actually. Kalashnikov! theres the forefathers name thats just disappeared from BM history. Raminator where are you! rabid monkey! Kester! Jambo! it would be nice to reconnect after all this time.

With the ‘actual’ release of the game I think there’s be an increase in older account logins.
We’re all returning like Bee’s to the hive.

I meant flies to shit.

Ram is one of those folks that prefer to be invisible to the internet so I highly doubt you will find him. Jambo is on fb somewhere. Rabid monkey I havent seen around in forever… I think he is on fb tho. I miss Carlos tho. Even on fb he is silent. I am connected to Kester on FB… he is a cool dood.

I was really enjoying Xen (even gave up my pirate way of life and bought it for me and my friends) until you made those unnecessary changes to music in the beginning of UC and the Akira elevator section, as well as the silly butt-slide that breaks crouching, jumping and crouch-jumping… You were so close to finishing it properly, devs, smh… :frowning:

Sup bitches, king manchild has returned for a hot moment to soak up the praise of being an old fuck.

Butt slide? All I know is that when I sprint then long jump then crouch, I go sliding around like soap covered in wet laundry powder and I’ll be damned if it ain’t fun as all hell.

Exactly, when long-jumping, that’s how it should be, but for some reason for me it also happens with regular jumps or without even jumping, just crouching while moving, which I think is a bug and makes platforming a lot less fun.

Wha? Eric Fong? I haven’t heard that name in years…

The butt sliding phenomenon seems to only occur if you start a sprint then land while crouching, using the back key to stop yourself seems to cut the sliding.

I definitely don’t think the long jump is meant to make you a high speed laundry powder coated bar of soap once you hit the floor though, but it sure as hell is fun

anyone remember the boomerarm

Of course! We’ll never gaze on that glorious boomerang elbow again though, its been forever lost in the deep sands of the internets.

I still have it but I’m not posting it because that would be weird.

Ram’s Hummerang is at least still in the final game:
