But are they part of a particular axis and do they have WMDs? And for that
matter a regime we can change?

Nice to hear from you, BMD (elite) but I see you now partake in lesser games
then X-COM. Shame on you! ;) Oh, well atleast you wil keep us informed on
that single player LS thingie, won't you?

Greetings

The stilton variants are classifeid as biological weapons I beleive.

Now I've run out of ideas...

Aye, my degree started to get in the way of all night XCOM sessions and
LSN can be fitted into much smaller slots.

But now my degree is almost over (tonmorrow, hurrah) and I can spend vast
quantities of time all over the place (until I get a job any way).  So I'm
back.

Will do, and I'll start posting my old inane ramblings on here again...

A reported side effect of dangerous levels of stilton exposure is the
failure of Es and Is to show up in the right order. :P

Go drink a pit of shandy, something will turn up.

Well done and congratulations. The only way I could get a degree is to set
my skin on fire.

Oh gods, I've gone and encouraged him.
By the current state of the X-COM licence though, you are not in from the
cold but more into the cold.

It's been ages since I've even seen the mention of cheese toasties.  What
ever happened to the regs of the group?  Are they still working on their EDF
project?  Or is it in the hands of other people now?

I actually went our of way before to check on the project: it got
sourceforged.  I know that a lot of the regs went off to work on that
project.  It's good to see that you're still here.  Would you happen to know
what happened to the others?

 I think he was an experiment into weapons of mass irritation.

 I managed to watch a whole ~30 seconds of him on Jonathan Woss before I
changed channel to avoid throwing something heavy at the telly!

 Uhh, dunno. I forget what most of their names were. Actually I forget most
peoples' names at some point - I refer to people (in general, not just
here) in my head as collections of thoughts and feelings, rather than their
names!

 Hmm, well "working on" may be rather generous, but there is still some
activity in the forums, with the recent return of some old (and previously
productive) people! :)
 I'm not sure exactly how much cross-over between names here and at EDF
there ever was though, IIRC it was mostly just me..?

>  Or is it in the hands of other people now?

 Well "The management" of EDF has changed a few times now, and alas not much
more has been done under one than another so far... :/
 T'ain't dead yet though. :)

Dr. Bob is alive and, I believe, still denting; as of eighteen months
ago, when I last heard from him, he had two small daughters, but he may
have traded them in for a newer model. Um, wait...

ahh, well you see he was being interviewed by Andrew Denton.  australian
personality extrodanare.
it was quite interesting.  on Denton's show ("enough rope") he gets ppl on
there and asks them tough questions, mostly about life in general, it's
definitely not an "entertainment" show.   some ppl interviewed are almost
brought to tears.

I dunno...that goofy smile of his does look awfully familiar...  You sure
no-one fell in the cloning vats at the last party?

Well... anything is possible. We learned a long time ago to never
leave a Floater alone with anything that has shiny buttons on it.
Leaving two Floaters alone is a insurance claim waiting to happen. In
fact, we had to purchase special coverage just for that eventuality.

Still alive. Drilling teeth in earnest. The twins are 3 1/2 years old.  We 
just had a baby boy a month ago. Just got DSL but spending free time at gym 
working out to combat occupational back pain and age and hence not using it 
much.  Going upstairs now to make my first cheese toastie in months.

Glad to see so many people still checking in.  What's this about another 
crap x-com game?
