I trhink tyhe thing is that he isn't used to all these bitching,
whining lamers, when really he could release a shit game, they'd lap
it up and then bitch some more cos it was crap. id cnanoty win, the
way I see it - there is always some arrogant wank who has to have his
say! (Yes, I'm depressed and un a bad mood :)
Just because id has one of the closest to the public pr systems
doesn't mean that you can bombard them with you shitty little
petitions. FFS, if ytou're that desperate for modem play then use
win95's dial up networking - it's not as if it's going to work in dos
anyway, is it?
Is iut that big a deal that you have to go through some point and
click interfazce?
Personally i'd never play modem cos it's crap. Play on  an internet
server where you're both at a disadvantage, it's much fairer!
Just cos you can't be arsed to do something that'll take all of 5
minutes, you're trying to force id to do something that'll take a
month or two, as well as having 2 completely different protocols to
work with in one game, completely difgferewnt fucking engine, FFS!
You really are a bunch of ungreatful sods, you know.. you take it for
granted..



hehe.. i've just seen the groups this is posted for and I can imagine
the amount of trash email I'll get from this *sigh* :)

I've offended so many poeple today already.. I don't mean to seem
arrogant or anything, but it really needed saying. I find that most
regulars on these groups are relitivly pleasant, having been on and
off for the past year or two, but there is a small minority that are
extremely arrogant.
